HTML is human readable as a text file. It does lack abstraction though. I don't actually like markdown much but it is quicker for prose and when I want my images styled a certain way I drop to HTML

Ruby is extensible as well, these things flourish because their creators thought hard about escape hatches. The things that are not extensible we don't talk about because they already died.

Of course it's extensible, you can put HTML in it, and HTML is extensible.

New comment by tlarkworthy in "The Token Compression Illusion: Why I'm Skeptical of RTK"

tlarkworthy — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:22:01 +0000

I tried it and it does not compress messages which was 90% of my context, so it only compresses a small part of my token usage. If you read it carefully you will realize that is exactly stated. If you look at /context you will probably see that tool calls are not where you are spending token on, so a proxy that compresses tool calls will not make much impact, whilst still being true that it compresses tool calls by 8x. Its just not that important for long coding sessions for me.

I think it's enough to use Open Router to encourage competition in the market place.

tlarkworthy — Fri, 15 May 2026 18:26:05 +0000

Maybe they want a quick switchover and the UB is replicating existing problems so it is net neutral for the codebase (but positive future coz developers can do future work on rust without synchronizing two codebase? ).

It counts every instruction and blends the colours for the three active modes. Then the height represents idleness. So it's a pretty high resolution measure!

OK fixed! As you clearly know this space well, what do think would make this project better? I was thinking I wanted to see a heatmap of memory access (pages?), and more detailed explaination of the opcodes, but getting the thing working took quite a while so I got a bit tired and stopped at the booting milestone, but I like the project a lot and now it is in a notebook I can basically probe any part of the system with dataviz tools to make it more tangible. Do you have anything you think would be helpful or cool for learners that you have not seen before in an emulator?

This is an app, the file works from a file:// domain without a local Webserver. It's a different thing than other things you have seen.

tlarkworthy — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 17:00:24 +0000

We do something similar at work, called metadev. It sits above all repos and git submodules othe repos in, and works with multiple changes with multiple sessions with worktrees, and stores long term knowledge in /learnings. Our trick has been to put domain specific prompts in the submodules, and developer process in metadev. Because of the way Claude hierarchically includes context, the top repo is not polluted with too much domain specifics.

Two husbands without kids, working in tech, have a huge amount of cash, time capacity and ideation opportunity. I felt these added up to a huge advantage for getting quality shit done and taking risks. Fair play.
