@alexhillman "works pretty good for code" for future reference haha

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@alexhillman also I haven't done the rented GPU thing, only been using a lot of ram on Macbook

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@alexhillman Probably worth trying https://t.co/BXp9V6J0rF

I haven't put much through for personal assistant style work, but this is one of the bigger ones that r/LocalLLaMA likes.

Finding GLM-5.1 better than GPT-5.5 for the tasks where I know what I want and want it done (even at different thinking levels)

@lawrencecchen rad, I'll update my keyboard accessibility PR soon! https://t.co/8FbJw3Ilvf

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@johnlindquist @joelhooks I just opened a PR to flesh out the keyboard a11y, pretty cool project to hack on... I can only imagine what y'all got going in there!

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@wesbos @nmatt0 GLM-5.1 and Qwen3.6-plus are both pretty good at this too... allegedly...

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@alexhillman @elwatto that phenomenon happens more and more these days...

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@alexhillman @elwatto I've been sending more stuff through context-mode and jcodemunch for indexing over rtk, might be worth a try

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@ashokgelal sub-kinda-fine then

Opus does it again... "I can't restore it, but if you have the original I can!"

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

Casually trying out Paperclip by throwing it directly into a brownfield project within a monorepo. Wasn't wild about the Company Structure thing at first (bad memory of BMAD) but we'll see what happens...

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@alexhillman I built something similar a while back, based on .txt files that are easy to gather with this userscript:

(side note, I tried Tidal and it was THE WORST)

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@alexhillman @johnlindquist There's a 5x random persona one, and a multi-model asking one: https://t.co/hKdbXxXPWa

I need to try the new Deepseek, I've been pretty happy with GLM-5.1 and Qwen3.6-plus for research/pre-planning/debug research

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@alexhillman I have used @johnlindquist Council of Five skill multiple times a day for months, definitely one of the best skills in the config!

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

Read the Paperclip docs and take a shot every time they say “control plane”

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

@cursor_ai My C.Code settings fundamentally break Cursor so I thought I'd just disable some rules and skills in my monorepo. Instead, it literally deleted 8 AGENTS/CLAUDE.md files. (git restored) and a few skills I created but didn't have tracked yet...

[taylor bell @taylorbell]

Planning session yesterday with Opus 4.7 and it literally said "I assume this file works like [one sentence overview]. Do you want to A - B - C?"
"Read the file instead of assuming"
"Good idea! Now that I read it, that assumption was wrong."

@alexhillman dammit
