this helps manage the combinatorial explosion of exceptions you need to add to your agent's skills when you prescribe workflows everywhere. writing facts rather than workflows lets the agent reason about situations you didn't predict, so it can handle the long tail.

provider fallbacks are also expensive since you lost the prompt cache. openrouter have a 'session' concept to help with this, but we ended up going direct to providers for higher rate limits and writing our own fallback logic.

I'd be very surprised if the very-similar-looking design of corgi's product breaches any copyright law, copyright of design or layout is much more finicky than copyright of code. This seems like more of a moral issue than a legal one.

> Looking at the OpenClaw model, where the conversation history is in the chat channel and the agent process and LLM provider are both separated from that, you can’t build the same design on Cloudflare or Anthropic

Yes you can - durable objects do exactly what the "Ably pub/sub channel transport" diagram describes. And it's even easier with the cloudflare agents SDK. This article strawmans the capabilities of competing infra.

I use https://rectangleapp.com/ and enjoy it. I have shortcuts to move windows to the left/right half of the screen, and cycle between monitors. This, combined with native cmd+tab and cmd+` is enough for me.

I know that anecdotal experience is definitionally just that, anecdotal. But I've had a handful of attentive London cabby experiences (and enough in-Waymo experiences) that give me conviction that Waymos are far safer than them. They're out there driving all day every day, it's obvious to me that a Waymo driver is going to be safer than even a professional.

One cabby pulled out of a t junction to end up alongside me on a motorbike – a Waymo would never do that.

recently (past couple of months) they've been much more aggressive in the ways that make a good driver a good driver - confident and assertive when they should be. for me this has anecdotally been a massive improvement

If you were choosing between getting into a Waymo or a car driven by a human driver (where Waymo operates, for a route that Waymo would do), the data shows that the Waymo is safer.

it's an application built with webgl that plays audio, rather than just an audio player

media sound is generally unaffected by the silent mode toggle, which apple suggests is only for notifications. but the toggle inconsistently affects media, muting some things but not others. it's incredibly frustrating. android has much better audio controls for notifications, media, alarms, and vibrate.

> We need Claude and Claude Code, with their skills and plugins, with their context, to be first-class participants in our company's Slack. But this problem can't be solved by a Slack integration because of another problem: data access.

Yes it can? We have agents in Slack as first class participants. They can even use Slack search.
