@tibo_maker Turns out not a bad friend at all 😬

AI made custom WordPress development faster, not obsolete!

So does this mean we've hit peak allowable AI at Opus 4.8 and ChatGPT 5.5?

As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.

Here’s what this means for you:

Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.

On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.

We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

@theo You jinxed it. https://t.co/AHQWHq1fiG

@dannyvankooten @kinsta @gowordify Great, email support when you land and ask for me. I'll fire you up with a free credit to test out the platform.

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@dannyvankooten @gowordify Yes, we use object based storage which is in a different DC to compute. No the WAF isn't Bunny Shield, we run our own rules. That said we are a Bunny partner so it might be in the mix at some point in the future! Is that something you'd want as a feature?

Are calories even a useful measure of anything? It's not like nutrition is that simple. Calories don't have a chemical formula. The body doesn't have receptors for calories. Wood and dog poo both have calories, what does it tell us about their nutritional value?

Kind of like measuring the nutritional value of food by weight or colour.

I'd argue calories, empty or not, are a vague concept which hugely oversimplifies what food actually is.

Pretty sure this was the actual play here as many folks had looked at an alternative path to mortgage shackles.

It makes no sense that removing the discount on shares as well as making a floor of 30% tax rate regardless of MTR, will help people buy their first home.

If anything it's probably going to make people move away from shares as a path and put them back into trying to buy a home.

@KatieKeithBarn2 It's worth checking activity monitor to check your memory pressure graph. It's that living in the orange or red, make sure you get more RAM on the new model. The constant swapping to dusk really slows things down.

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@landforce Not really. They should really be merged with just an option to say this is a "code" task - which unlocks some UI magic for Git, etc.

I think the chat, cowork and code interfaces are ripe for a skill/command type merge - so much overlap.

@bryan_johnson Isn't one of the compounding factors actually low potassium? One potential cause of essential hypertension...

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@amorriscode @bcherny Thanks - If the chat is stopped waiting on bg tasks, it seems to stop the loading state too...

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@amorriscode @bcherny Is it possible you can make the session status icon show as busy when there are tasks running in the background? Currently, it has the dotted circle of completeness.

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@amorriscode @bcherny Seems to be fixed now, thanks!

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@felixrieseberg Any chance we can get /remote-control working in the desktop version?

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@felixrieseberg This is brilliant, thanks. It makes managing large number of iterm2+claude code sessions sooo much easier.

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@phuctm97 Make a /review skill that automatically runs when you create a PR - it will pretty much always find something. You can add in notes about docs etc that need updating like change log etc.

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@levelsio It actually does it with it's own Anthropic models too....

[Nick B @NickJBryant]

@levelsio Knowledge cut off. Grok 4.2 didn't exist when it's knowledge ends. Best thing to do is make a skill which says if you're ever using a Grok API, go here to look for the latest version.
