<p>I hear ya, but one could set different operating thresholds: auto-approve low-risk posts, hold ambiguous posts for review, and automatically reject very high-confidence violations. So HITL for sure, but MUCH less H in the L.</p>

<p>I've had dreams of building something in the image sharing or social platform realm, but stopped short of planning because of obvious content moderation responsibilities. This seems to be a realistic, cost effective solution to that one piece of the puzzle.</p>

<p>I was on a Royal Caribbean ship a couple weeks ago (Utopia, 18 decks, 5,668 passengers). It has 24 main elevators split between front and back, left and right. So a bank of 6 in front of you each time you needed a lift. You press your floor on a touchpad and it assigns you an elevator A through F.<p>I swear no matter if it was busy or not, it seemed like everyone was assigned to the same one or two elevators. The wait was always so long too, I used the stairs most of the time if just going <6 flights.<p>Someone besides RCCL needs to study that algorithm.</p>

<p>Ran this on a 64 GB M4 Max MacBook. I figured having Gemma available with a small footprint would be a nice setup. No more unloading models when I need more RAM for work? Hell yea.<p>Got 48 tok/s decode at 1.9 GB RSS (2.4 GB peak), faster than the 24 GB M5 Pro mentioned in the benchmarks. The ~2.0 GB/s SSD number quoted for M4 is the base chip. This M4 Max does ~7 GB/s.<p>Page cache seems to be why it beats the M5 Pro. With 64 GB the whole 12 GB packed_experts set stays resident, and iostat shows only ~1.6 GB per run actually reaching disk, against the ~79 GB that 98 fully cold tokens would need.<p>I then tested with DaVinci Resolve open and under load (playback): 42.6 tok/s. Also held 38 GB of incompressible memory to squeeze the page cache: 41.8. At 48 GB it ranged 32 to 41.5. Degrades gradually rather than a cliff. It's a beautiful thing.</p>

<p>> Because it's all very clearly spelled out within the code itself.<p>You're probably burning tokens. A markdown file with a summary, structure of your project, rules, and even goals prevents Claude from hunting for and reading files over and over. Each new session (or after compact) would be starting from scratch. I take it a step further and create a HANDOFF.md file between compacting that gives the next session full context of what was done and how to continue.<p>Also:<p>"Treat CLAUDE.md as the place you write down what you’d otherwise re-explain. Add to it when:<p>Claude makes the same mistake a second time<p>A code review catches something Claude should have known about this codebase<p>You type the same correction or clarification into chat that you typed last session"<p><a href="https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#claude-md-files" rel="nofollow">https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#claude-md-files</a></p>

<p>I had Claude whip up a local solution for me using Gemma 4 26b-a4b on my Mac and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. It can do web search (valyu), file reading -- I have business & personal context stored in many markdown files -- weather, Apple reminders, and has cross-session memory. Streamline but capable agent that has been pieced together over a few weeks after using Karpathy's LLM wiki pattern, with bits of Hermes logic. Orpheus-TTS streams the spoken reply back with the first word usually landing in half a second. Voice input is openWakeWord for the wake word plus faster-whisper for speech-to-text, all on-device. I can run it straight on the Mac but I use it with the pi satellite and a cheap USB speakerphone (ConfCall MS13B). You can barge in by just talking over it rather than having to say the wake word again. Pretty handy Google Home replacement.</p>

<p>I asked Fable to plan a security & performance audit of my website. It said it would check SSR & origin attack surface, CMS content injection, Strapi API surface, etc.<p>Just before asking for approval to run, it said one thing it wanted to "flag before running" was "Rate-limit and auth testing against prod will generate some 4xx noise in Railway logs and could trip the form rate limiter — harmless, but saying it now."<p>Ok fine, I said go for it, and it says:<p>"Running it. Quick recon first (prod URLs + the prior-findings baseline), then I'll fan out the audit tracks with adversarial verification."<p>Immediately after, I got the Fable warning about how it can't continue because of safety concerns, switching to Opus. In the end, Opus did a good job thanks to whatever Fable suggested doing. Things were fixed that Opus missed in a security/performance audit just the week prior. But what surprised me is that it used 55 agents. Burned 80% of my 5-hour window in 15 minutes (5x Max plan). I've never had Opus do that before on these audits.</p>
