I also made a simple landing page to list most of the client-side tools I've made and will be making:

Client-side means tools that are ready to use in the browser, mostly using WASM libraries, to save the user's privacy and my server hosting fees🥰

Introducing FrontierCode: a coding eval that raises the bar for difficulty & quality. Each task took 40+ hrs of work by leading open-source maintainers.

Models write sloppy code that works but isn’t maintainable. Our eval is first to measure: would you actually merge this code?

in true laymen terms: recent AI models are so good, you no longer break down a large task by yourself into subtasks and assign to multiple agents before you check and assign the next subtask. You now should design a workflow so that all agents know the large picture and pick tasks by themselves after finishing a task aka "a loop." In the past, it was hard because agents will start to lose track and the whole task will drift. Now they are much smarter, so with careful planning explaining the big pictures, milestones to identify, clear end deliverables, and pointers towards possible self-recovery mechanism, you will be able to simply assign that first super task, and wait to see the whole thing finished.

Here's your monthly reminder you don't teach token-poor people how best to invest their tokens when you're spending your company's tokens.

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

good execution but terrible idea. it's an idea (no code) from the time when coding and webops were expensive implemented with the very technology the made it obsolete.

We just launched Sites into Codex!

Software creation was always about more than writing code. Sites in Codex fundamentally gives the power of end-to-end software creation to every user, no matter their technical fluency.

These Sites are fully deployed to a URL, private to workspaces, come with authentication, can have static files, and can store dynamic data in databases.

It is in preview for business and enterprise teams and will be rolling out to all workspaces over the next day. Give it a try by typing @ Sites into Codex and ask it to build anything!

This project took a massive amount of effort across hundreds of people at OpenAI - proud that we were able to get this out and excited to see what you all build with it!

我一般会有意不让他做详细计划，而是提清晰地deliverables和结束验证标准，因为goal运行起来经常是几个到几十个小时，没有model能做到那么清晰的规划，提前做的规划照顾不了那么多的细节，以及需要根据实际implementation调整的部分。

[宝玉 @dotey]

我经常用 /goal ，主要用法：

1. 写一个 Checklist，让它一条条勾选
比如我逆向代码，会先用脚本做语法解析把完整的list整理成个json文件，让它分批去处理，每次处理完一批就更新json文件

2. 写一个设计文档，分成几个阶段
跟AI一起写一份详细设计文档，设计好了后让 AI 划分好 Phases，设定好每个 Phase 的验收条件，一个 Phase 一个 Phase 的执行，每个 Turn 都让它自己 commit

I'm an international arsenal fan and no local so the hating Tottenham thing never made sense to me personally. But I feel an acute pain of cringe to this day whenever I remember that Ange Postecoglou had to scold his team's own fan base in front of the press because they wanted to lose to ManCity to prevent Arsenal from winning.

[Aaron Goldstein @aarongfootball]

The Tottenham players posting on social media because their rivals lost a champions league final (after winning the league) is the exact kind of mentality I want nowhere near my club in a million years. Have some shame.

[Bo An @bo__an]

If you think Arsenal will be better off next season with Havertz starting and Odegaard gone. You don't know much football. The only issue with Ode is he has been unhealthy a lot this season which is unusual.

We need upgrades on CF, LW, and a more attack-minded Left 8 to rotate with MLS/Rice or with Rice as 6 (let's face it, Rice is currently the best player in the team but his best position can't be left 8 even though MA REALLY wanted it to work just like he really wanted Kai to be able to play Left 8 but they couldn't, especially on the attacking side).

The right trio (Ode, Saka, Ben White/later Timber) was the sole drive behind of our successes of the three previous seasons when CBs (remember Saliba and G6 blunders?) and GKs (remember Ramsdale?) were inconsistent. The new trio always never got the chance to start together this season. All three have been out for months due to injuries separately and together.

Of the three, the only declining one was Saka who behaved selfishly before the contract renewal and then lazy after. But Saka can recover with the right mentality. Ode became slower and less bold in his approach to the game but even more masterful with his orchestration (dictating the tempo etc) given the limited chances he had. You will soon see in the WC.

Players, e.g. Eze, Odegaard, and Havertz, can't just replace each other to start the next game the minute they recover like it's a fucking LEGO. Coming back to the starting 11 takes a few matches to rid the frictions and we didn't have the luxuries of those few matches. Ode is still a top 5 attacking midfielders in the world.

But like Andrea Pirlo's career, he should probable take a deeper CM role not just do more deep ball collecting runs. That would fit his current and best profile better.

That means our left side will need to take more responsiblity in transitioning and finishing in the final third. A ball-holding LW who can also finish to upgrade Trossard such as Rogers would be great. If Harvertz can hold the ball he would be great. But he couldn't and neither does Gyokeres who is a great role player.

So relax, MA isn't stupid to sell Odegaard, sorry to disappoint you. In fact, without Odegaard, you will watch that bus-parking fun game all season long, and you've already seen a trailer for that, haven't you?

[Eduardo Hagn @EduardoHagn]

One of the hard decisions that Arsenal should take this summer is selling Martin Ødegaard.

He still has a lot of value in Europe, but this team has evolved past him and he’s regressed two years now.

He’s the captain, sure, but this club needs a more dynamic attacking mid.

安利mac上的一个vibecoding 窗口管理神器 BetterTouchTool。搭配tmux使用（我经常把tmux主pane用Ctrl+Z最大化）更佳。

和简化版的BetterSnapTool是同一家。

能干什么：一键用多种方式排列你的窗口。

比如我用 Ctrl+CMD+Shift + 1234。是桌面四宫格的左上、右上、左下、右下。

C+CMD+S + HJKL。是桌面两宫格的左半边、还原、全屏最大、右半边

C+CMD+S + TYUIOP。是桌面三宫格的左侧2/3、左侧1/3、中间1/3、右侧1/3、右侧2/3。

C+CMD+S + 空格。轮流把当前窗口放到不同的显示器上。

这么用了快两年了。
