Still building apps, playing songs etc.

Uhoh. Claude is down.

Does this mean Sonnet 5 is about to drop?

The Codex desktop app is getting stupidly good.

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

@ryan_tipps @theo Been wondering this. The fluidity of a Discord chat with threads is more ephemeral than a Codex project directory.

Still use ChatGPT app and Codex. Hermes in Discord has more system/filesystem access.

These feel like three different affordances that are tricky to reconcile.

That bug where you open X, or LinkedIn now, see an interesting post, then the app refreshes and it disappears.

Once upon a time they fixed it on X and it was glorious. Then it returned.

This surely affects engagement, but I suppose is really hard to track in analytics.

Imagine if they just kept building the thing everyone already loved.

The Browser Company appeared out of nowhere

They gave us vertical tabs and Instrument Serif

And then faded into the night forever

Oh wait no, maybe I just like Banquet

Coming out of my AI psychosis for a while and getting back into listening to and making music.

I just stumbled on this fairly recent Tiny Desk from Bloc Party and it's fucking awesome.

@yeukang @thekitze @supermac_app @tim_cook Raycast is great, but Alfred is what I need.

The top right menu bar is one of the biggest persistent failures of UX in macOS.

Any app can stick an icon up there, and there's no sane first party way to manage it.

It's a way to access tools like password managers, so third party control comes with security risk.

Anthropic keeps getting in the way of things I want to do.

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

Shorts and scarf weather today. What is going on. 😅

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

Wow the claude code voice experience looks terrible in the demo. Parakeet v3 is instant on my machine.

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

Flicker-free rendering. We truly are living in the future.

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

Wait a minute.

How does Codex overlay a "give me full access to your system by drag and drop" UI onto macOs _before_ receiving accessibility permissions?!

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

2h deep, timeout pending.

Long running tasks are great but for the usage limits 😭

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

You can tell which dev teams aren't using or testing on lower dpi displays anymore by the terrible font rendering in their apps...

Zed looks like arse. Claude Desktop looks like arse.

Cursor and Codex do not look like arse.

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

This is a product decision that changes how you perceive the model:

Codex finishes the current job, leaves you with working code and asks for more money to continue.

Claude disappears half way through the job, leaves broken code and extorts you for money to finish it.

[Mugilan S @Mugilan_SS]

Codex is not like claude code.

if you know the limit is going to end, like last 10 to 8%, give an very long run task, and even after the limit got ever, it will continue to do the task until the task was completed.

Shout out to @OpenAI team.

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

I don't care how long you worked for.

I only care when you finished work. Does this respond to that review or is that review about this work?

Order of events is maybe an OS level concern in the end... 🤔

[Shaun Church @shaunchurch]

No comment. GPT-5.5

With voice to text as my primary input method, I consistently sound like a moron and consistently get extremely good replies.
