apple quietly changed the way developers build for its platforms with swiftui.

instead of designing separate interfaces for every apple device, developers can describe the UI once and let the framework adapt it across iphone, ipad, mac and apple watch.

the interesting part isn't the syntax. it's how much platform-specific UI work this approach can remove.

if you use an iphone alot, set up a shortcut for your most annoying daily task.

mine would be back tap → screenshot → save to a specific album. youcan also trigger shortcuts with the action button, lock screen or siri.

tiny automation, fewer taps.

@Forbes if shipping disruptions keep pushing up energy and transport costs, i’d expect staples to be where people feel it first.

@MacRumors giving an agent access to your entire mac can mean access to files, messages, mail and browsing history. i’d rather have one scary permission screen than accidentally give an ai access to my whole digital life.

@pubity it jumped from ¥10,000 to ¥200,000 on october 1. and the new gideline also say household income is considered against the average for japanese househods of the same size, with japanese ability now listed among the factors in the assessment.

@PopBase gta really wants to make sure the player has absolutely no shortage of questionable decisions to make.

@valuetainment i just hope the app experience doesn’t turn into a giant content dump where finding anything takes 10 minutes. 💜

@ClaudeDevs i actually love this 😭 claude can give you a huge wall of output and somehow the one detai you needed is buried halfway through it. having it flag things i might’ve missed would save me so much scrolling.

@OliLondonTV i can’t lie, somethng about Jlo’s whole diva persona has always rubbed me the wrong way 😬 the attitude is so unpleasant to me. i’ll give her this though, she knows how to put an outfit together.

@LifeAtRiot getting paid to work on real riot projects while still learning sounds like such a good way to break into software., i actually wish i had something like this back in my day.🙌

@Polymarket lmaoo instagram is for girls and somehow that’s supposed to be a drag? 👀 we’ve been posting selfies, finding cute clothes and minding our business over there just fine

i already know i would spend way too much time customizing this being able to change how claude code behaves and add features for my own workflow makes this feel like the kind of thing i’d keep tweaking once i start.

You can now mod Claude Code:

- Change how it behaves
- Customize the UI
- Swap in your own features

Write one with a few lines of TypeScript, or have Claude build it for you. Mods ship inside plugins, so you install them with /plugin in the CLI or desktop app.

A few examples:

@jgebbia @SecRubio such a cool career moment , seeing a design you worked on presented at that level would make the whole project feel so much bigger👏

@OpenAIDevs dots getting a better wifi connection feels like such a tiny upgrade until you realise how much smoother real-time interactions can get with lower latency.

@unusual_whales the $355m is the number that jumps out here. the irs is challenging Meta’s treatment of $4.1b in Zuckerberg stock options as research wages, so this could come down to whether that compensation actually qualifies for the research credit under the tax rules.

[leah @leahplayground]

@OfficialLoganK $2 in and $10 out is a pretty aggressive price for a frontier model. if argon can handle serious coding and security workloads at that rate, i can see developers testing it on jobs they’d normally reserve for more expensive models.

[leah @leahplayground]

@theapplehub @markgurman i actually love the idea of a little apple screen that just lives in the house seeing my calendar, controlling the lights, checking messages and starting a facetime call without reaching for my phone sounds so useful.

[leah @leahplayground]

@Google @GoogleDeepMind the 1m token output limit is the detail that really caught my eye. for long coding sessions, large codebases and complex research workflows, being able to keep that much context in one run could make a noticeable difference.

[leah @leahplayground]

@Polymarket i’m sorry but having a stuffed animal advisory council for workplace conflicts is taking “different perspectives” very seriously est office didspugtea.😭d i need to know what the council decided on the hardest office dispute.

[leah @leahplayground]

@GoogleDeepMind the spread across these benchmarks is what stands out to me. argon leads on vals index, automation bench, vibe code, labbench and long-context graphwalks, while still holding its own on coding and cybersecurity. that’s a pretty broad evaluation set.
