I’d love to see examples of this. Learning how to enhance local models to stay competitive would be a great skillset to develop.

This is a super helpful and productive comment. I look forward to a blog post describing your process in more detail.

This sounds very promising. Any link to more details?

Every time I read stuff like this I honestly wonder if the author is using the same tools I am.

I can have Claude Code bang out everything from boilerplate to a working prototype to a complex algorithm embedded in a very complex and confusing code base. It’s not correct 100% of the time but it’s pretty damn close. And often times it comes up with algorithms I would have never thought of initially.

These things are at least a 10x multiple of my time.

Super valuable resource - thanks!

What tools / experiments out there exist to exercise these cheaper models to output more tokens / use more CoT tokens to achieve the quality of more expensive models?

eg, Gemini 2.5 flash / pro ratio is 1 1/3 for input, 1/8 for output... Surely there's a way to ask Flash to critique it's work more thoroughly to get to Pro level performance and still save money?

Interesting tidbit:

>>> In this study, high levels of these beta oscillations were associated with faster learning and more programming knowledge

This makes me think those binaural beat programs attuned to beta wave frequency might help with heavy coding sessions?

Can anyone point to studies that confirm/reject this?

This looks very interesting, however it seems to me like the critical piece of this technique is missing from the post: the implementations of getFileContext() and shouldStartNewGroup().

Am I the one missing something here?

This is awesome. Love this idea. What a great way to make history more alive. I've only spent ~30s with it so far but I hope to find ways to contribute to it (content and code/different visualizations)

Great advice.

What books/resources do you suggest to follow more on this path of meditation (possibly also stoicism)?

This is great. Anyone know how hard it would be to adapt to Athena?

Do you have any open source examples (either your own or others) of simple Ruby + Sequel that are particularly elegant + productive that you could point to? Would love to see this.

I agree Ruby is the most elegant and enjoyable language to develop in.

How bad is it that one of my first thoughts was "This is a MidJourney / DALL-E embellishment"?
