Vielleicht ist „ein Buch lesen“ bald die falsche Beschreibung.

Ich gebe meinem Agenten ein Buch. Er macht daraus keinen Summary-Sumpf, sondern eine Arbeitsstruktur: Frameworks, Regeln, Anti-Patterns.

Nicht weniger lesen. Anders mit Gelesenem arbeiten.

Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits.

Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit.

Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.

THIS DEVELOPER JUST KILLED THE ENTIRE VOICE CLONING INDUSTRY WITH ONE GITHUB REPO

Claude now speaks in your own voice across 23 languages through a single MCP call.

Free. Local. Offline.

ElevenLabs charged $22-$330 a month for what Jamie Pine just gave away under an MIT license.

Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline hook in with one command and start replying in your cloned voice straight from the terminal.

→ developer Jamie Pine dropped the repo jamiepine/voicebox on GitHub 41.6k stars in a matter of weeks

→ clones any voice from 10 seconds of audio, seven TTS engines to choose from

→ runs on your own machine via Tauri (Rust, not Electron) voice and samples never leave your computer

→ Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and any MCP-aware agent speak back in your chosen clone through a single voicebox.speak call

→ plus global dictation with one hotkey inside any app

→ generate content in Arabic, Japanese, or Polish without opening your mouth

Replaces ElevenLabs and WisprFlow in one MIT-licensed app.

This hit that perfect sweet spot: grotesque, absurd, cinematic, weirdly joyful. Big Tarantino energy — loved it.

Und wieder soll alles sterben. Diesmal trifft es angeblich n8n & Zapier durch OpenAIs neuen Agent Builder.
Eine kurze Notiz, warum dieser "Killer" am Ende vor allem neue Kunden für die Totgesagten schaffen wird.

Earlier this month Alice Weidel, co-chair of the AfD party in Germany, described Hitler (in a fawning chat to Elon Musk) as "a communist, socialist guy". Yesterday King Charles described "the act of remembering the evils of the past" as "a vital task" on #HolocaustMemorialDay.

So here's an adaptation of Prokofiev's 1930s "Dance of the Knights" that we're calling: "Hitler Was(n't) Socialist."

Love letter to @obsdmd to which I very happily switched to for my personal notes. My primary interest in Obsidian is not even for note taking specifically, it is that Obsidian is around the state of the art of a philosophy of software and what it could be.

- Your notes are simple plain-text markdown files stored locally on your computer. Obsidian is just UI/UX sugar of pretty rendering and editing files.
- Extensive plugins ecosystem and very high composability with any other tools you wish to use because again it's all just plain-text files on your disk.
- For a fee to cover server costs, you can also Sync (with end-to-end encryption) and/or Publish your files. Or you can use anything else e.g. GitHub, it's just files go nuts.
- There are no attempts to "lock you in", actually as far as I can tell Obsidian is completely free of any user-hostile dark patterns.

For some more depth, I recommend the following writing from CEO @kepano:
- "File over app" https://t.co/SigWj8uCrf . If you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Accept that all software is ephemeral, and give people ownership over their data.
- "100% user-supported" https://t.co/2qDJXub7cs . On incentives alignment.
- "Quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash" https://t.co/qfNjSEwbLf

TLDR: This is what software could be: private, secure, delightful, free of dark patterns, fully aligned with the user, where you retain full control and ownership of your data in simple, universal formats, and where tools can be extended and composed.

@TiloJung Ist das viel? Zu viel? Wie waren die Zahlen in den letzten 10 Jahren? Ist das Ganze nicht in der Bundes­neben­tätigkeits­verordnung (BNV) explizit geregelt? Wurde gegen diese Regelungen verstoßen? ... Neugierig.

[Helge Koops @HelgeKoops]

@TiloJung Macht @TiloJung Fehler? Ja. Reflektiert er sie und lernt daraus? Ja. Und sonst? Er macht super Interviews. 9/10 Punkten. Also alles gut.
