So you want to know what uses energy in your house?

£16 of tools and a few hours free time is all you need.

Here's how to find out. A 🧵

@teodorio For anything word-based I've gone back to Opus 4.6. Yes it has more AI tells in the text it produces, but it's readable and the words make sense!

@JamesTimmins @mikejulian @HubSpot But to your Q, the plugins would have to work the same way of bulk-export data and then analyse it like we do, because it's not functionality that's hidden in the UI, it's missing from their APIs too. I looked at these plugins, and they are Snowflake-expensive.

[Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer]

@JamesTimmins @mikejulian @HubSpot I haven't looked because 1) every addon we use has to be approved by group HQ not by us, and 2) despite group mandating HubSpot is used, there's massive pushback about spending more because we already have HubSpot. Too many battles on that route

What are y'all using to convert Claude Code and Codex session logs to Markdown to index with qmd?

@ScyllaDB This is misleading, it's a ~150 page book excerpt, not the book.

@AdStandardsIRE one for you.

@TheIFS @PJTheEconomist @R_Blundell_UCL @PrincetonUPress Is there an audiobook coming?

[Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer]

@badlogicgames What model of dependency resolution would you choose instead of the npm one?

[Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer]

@Elijah_Meeks Oh nice. I hope you'll consider releasing it (alg)? I sung the praises of Plotly this week but even it required manual layout positioning for a one-off flow. https://t.co/iBKqYyBHmK

Yet again @plotlygraphs saves the day. @ApacheECharts is good, but sometimes your Sankey diagram needs DAGs and layout control to show how the process really is!

@ClaudeDevs Only US residents, that sucks @ClaudeDevs .

Better do your next event in Europe

@boagworld I've managed to get the "choose/update your mailing subscriptions" moved to after the donation is taken :)

Little steps!

@g_mastrodonato @mitchellh @bentlegen IME there's a shortage of good diff/merge UIs on macOS, esp with character/word support. I keep falling back to using @jetbrains IDEs just for this. The one built into @git_fork is good too, but Git-specific. What would you recommend?

@matsonj That's the one, the repository name always trips me up! Thanks for the clarification, makes sense that there's the extra info available. https://t.co/UPwAGzluKN

[Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer]

@matsonj Is there any advantage to using the Motherduck MCP for a local DuckDB database over duckdb cli? I think I get fewer shell escaping errors with the MCP, but it also takes longer to run

[Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer]

@MaximeRivest The same reasons Wordpress is so flexible and easy to extend 🙂

“Why did it all seem to matter so much? And what do we do now with our memories, dreams, and hurts, our hope and weariness, in the Church or out of it?”
Thanks to @LucySixsmith for speaking to me about her v good book on the ‘History-Maker generation’

@MrFiberNet @theo Can you do this from within Claude Code, or do you have to pay API prices?
