I think Doll over on bsky has an interesting Claude setup going. Some kind of adversarial mode where they pitch Claude against another model (Gemini, I think) combined with their own “memory” model called Chainlink.

They’ve recently started using their AI pipeline to put out rust-based conversions of tools and it seems to be going pretty well.

Worked great on iPad. Was nice to see something designed well for a swipe oriented experience.

Ed makes a living from writing. Unfortunately he can’t make everything free.

Ed has been beating this drum for a while, I don’t see a problem with it. He’s putting in whatever research he can into these black boxes.

He warned a while ago that a $20/month sub was not going to be sustainable, and now what do we have? $100, $200, and $300 dollar tier plans. And now he’s warning even this isn’t going to be enough.

It might seem like breathless hyperbole to you or me, but I think he’s giving a pretty fair warning in advance to anyone who is hitching their wagon to these services in a big way and might get caught out badly if they aren’t lucky

It reads that if your $200/month sub is actually letting you spend $10k/month worth of compute, a heck of a lot of people are not going to make that jump if Anthropic start actually charging what it’s costing them to not go bankrupt.

Some ui/ux issues aside, this is an incredibly useful feature for both work and personal use.

An example of it being useful for work: I can have several AWS consoles for different environments open, so I can quickly compare configs between environments.

For personal use, I can contain facebook inside its own container so it’s cookies don’t pollute my regular browsing
