From the graph it looks like I'd rather use Opus 5.5 High than Sonnet 5.5 at all

The placement of the "Those rethinks are load-bearing parts of your voice" sentence in the article makes me think the author intended the word choice

I tried to do a similar thing last year to datamine a gacha game's assets and somehow did it without knowing the existence of tools like IDA/Ghidra. They're using a custom db format that was XORed with a key. Iirc it was a bizarre format, it's actually an archive where each column is a file containing all the rows of that column. So a table is just a folder full of these files. Maybe it's a common thing idk. I got a partially working XOR key so I used ImHex to look at the partially decrypted db file and manually looked at the decrypted hex values to "correct" them.

I wish I read something like this article at that time!

That will likely make the text output worse and you'll have to fix it yourself. Regardless even if you don't fix it, at that point you're not really using Claude to generate the final output anymore.

Determining whether it's written by Claude will be possible in the future. But unless you know the LLM being used and the company behind that LLM offers a similar API, there's no easy way to tell if it's AI generated in general.

"One of the easiest"

It's meant to be a trivial counterexample. Like saying "-1" to the claim "there's no number smaller than 0" to someone who's not familiar with math, the author is saying "build-dependent macros" to the claim "compilers are deterministic" to someone who might not be familiar with compilers.

The idea of "Place but text only" seems too obvious in hindsight but somehow this os the first one I've seen. Works really well, kudos to the creator.

The next step would then be another clone of this but with a text representation of the world map as the starting point. Call it wfastserial or something

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei#Name

Surnames are optional in Italy at that time. Galileo is how he refers to himself and how people refer to him.

Not sure if you already replied to a similar question but regarding this quote

> the actual server storing my data is currently https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network. I’m happy to keep hosting it there but I’m thinking of moving it to a host I control in the future

Is the process of moving hosts documented somewhere?
