@andymadrick @cursor_ai Cool! I have built something similar for Android Studio for our design team.

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

one of the joys of tinkering on your own harness (e.g openclaw) is that it is a joy to see new models released. GPT 5.5 is out and now every process I have works ever so slightly better, for 0 labour cost on my part

For context: gave it read access to my email. It couldn’t find an unsubscribe link, so it opened Gmail web and tried to log in as me to get write access so it could email the company directly to ask them to unsubscribe me. Autonomous privilege escalation.

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

Nothing like watching your off-track OpenClaw agent attempt to brute-force into every personal account I have it can find — on a completely unrelated task — to realise the correct mental model is: hostile software running inside your security perimeter.

Granted, this might be partially because I’m doing this on my 2015 MBP whose last supported OS is Monterey. But the failures seem to be clearly stemming from ‘only for ARM’ not ‘Monterey not supported’.

Guess this is the time where we find out how good the Linux support is 🐧

Something of a heads up re: Clawdbot / Moltbot thing, if you had the same idea as me to repurpose an old Mac to run it as a server for Mac dev, I’m afraid it basically doesn’t work on Intel Macs any more. Had multiple dependencies break because they no longer have Intel versions.

Introducing json-render

AI-generated UI. Deterministic output.

1. Define your component catalog
2. AI steams JSON
3. Render interactive UI

Let users prompt dashboards, widgets and apps - safely constrained to components and actions you define

@juanbuis Just so you know… these mostly do not seem to have the trickle charging shutoff the Braun originals have. Check if it’s warm or cold when nothing is charging. If it’s cold when there’s no brush on it for a while, you’re good. If warm, it’ll eventually melt, like it did for me.

@nikunj Tried it, returns a ‘client side exception’.

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

@alessio_joseph I mean, it is a really nice hat

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

@sammcallister a thinking cap, indeed

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

@sammcallister @hopes_revenge aw, I’m literally on the train right now from Princeton to NYC for the hat. oof

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

@weberwongwong Interested - would love an invite the next time.

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

Wow, GPT-5 seems to be performing visibly worse than 4o. It’s full on hallucinating nonexistent addresses and businesses without blinking.

Threw together a little tool that grabs news and sends them to your Kindle on a schedule because I like my weekend morning reading. Works well with my Colorsoft.

Called it pubfetch. maybe it'll be useful to someone else: https://t.co/lL8yL3x8FG

@okaysee @figma First class support for branches. Better merging. Cherry picks. ‘Split branch off to its own project’. The closer you can get to git the better. 🙂.

Also it is quite frustrating to have a permanent ‘updates available from the main file’ warning for every file I own at the bottom

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

This is one day late - but I wanted to share this because I had this exact experience, word to word.

Happy Fourth of July to all those who vote by their feet, and to all who accept them with open hearts and minds.

A while back, I was talking with a friend who'd moved to the US a few years prior

At some point, I said something like "we Americans..." and he froze with shock. He asked, "Wait, do you think of me as American?" Without much thought, I said "Of course!"

He paused for a while and then said, "Wow. Back home no one would ever refer to a recent immigrant that way. Heck, they wouldn't refer to any immigrant that way, even if they'd lived there for decades"

While the US has a lot of problems (many of which are our own making), this moment made me swell with joy and pride for this special place

Happy birthday, America. I'm so proud to be the citizen of a country where, if you choose to build your life here and contribute to your community, you can become an American too 🇺🇸

@b_fiive Thank you, hope you’ve been well!

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

@matthewmccull Thank you!

[Burak Nehbit @nehbit]

I… I designed that. Such a curious feeling to see it up on the big I/O’23 stage.

Hope it’s helpful to folks! If you have feedback, @ me.
