Claude reading files it wrote yesterday; and telling me today it's "beautifully documented".

@helen_macnamara @rorysutherland @QuibbleUK They should reach out to @zoebread, she knows a thing or two about taking on councils; unfair parking charges and other such injustices.

Trying to duplicate my secure Hetzner setup into OVH; and my god it's proving painful.

I don't think I'd appreciated quite how much Hetzner "just works".

[Edward Woodcock @remotecto]

I found that ElevenLabs *can* add background noises; and apply effects like radio effects - but I found it was a way worse way to do it because it's super inconsistent between shots. Way better outcome to post-process afterwards; and not really something that needs AI.

[Edward Woodcock @remotecto]

@levelsio @ElevenLabs I create ground-crew voice packs for x-plane (flight sim); I use ElevenLabs - but the pipeline is automated; which pipes the generations through post-processing; which adds airport background noise - and all the other stuff - radio voice emulation etc.

Me; when I give manual code-review feedback to Claude.

Got to Brussels yesterday for a conference & realised I'd not brought anything to hand out.

Claude Code already knows my product branding rules, so just asked "Can you sort me out with some business cards". Sent to local printing shop. Arrived cards-in-hand to conference today

He lives again. Through @claudeai

[Edward Woodcock @remotecto]

@chrisswenor @claudeai Haha yeah in some regards the enforced breaks could be considered a wellbeing feature.

[Edward Woodcock @remotecto]

Man these new @claudeai limits are pretty darn painful tbh - on a $200 plan. Resets in 3 hours...

Ok now we have real world co-ordinates and tile streaming. Optimising graphics in the distance for performance and fog.

For those claiming AI like Claude doesn't have enough training data for niche codebases / industries.

In under 30 mins last night; Claude read the few old spec documents for the X-Plane (flight simulator) scenery formats; and reverse engineered a custom renderer with Rust wgpu

The past couple of weeks I've been migrating the entirety of my projects, tech stack and setups out of US infrastructure; and over to European.

And it looks like I'm not alone in this...

[Edward Woodcock @remotecto]

2025 seems to be the year that US tipping culture has fully landed in Europe and the UK. I'd say at least 70 per cent of my non-grocery retail transactions all intervene with a tip selection now. Swivelling iPad included.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of social media in 2025 has got to be @jet2tweets

[Dan Martin @Dan_Martin]

Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday - LIVE!

Zoe Lister, the voice of the Jet2 ad, is now doing festivals 😂

It'll be tools like @splice who are going to need to keep on top of this game, because we're going to get to the point where musicians can use 'generative autofill' tools on elements of their track, rather than being the 30th person to use an over-recognised sample.

[Edward Woodcock @remotecto]

Getting a well-polished mix balanced track is insanely difficult, even if you're a talented musician (I still can't nail getting it right 5 years in).

So if AI tools can *enable* human expression and creativity, rather than replace it - we'll see gigantic industry changes.
