Did you know that before LLMs, people sometimes actively sought "knowledge" and turned to so-called "books"?
If you want a sense of how our ancestors lived, "The Secret Life of Circuits" is shipping in just a few weeks: https://t.co/M5ZnXuT8js
ToC & sample chapter included.

I've been using Opus 4.6 for a bit -- it is our best model yet. It is more agentic, more intelligent, runs for longer, and is more careful and exhaustive.
For Claude Code users, you can also now more precisely tune how much the model thinks. Run /model and arrow left/right to tune effort (less = faster, more = longer thinking & better results).
Happy coding!
@carste1n In my experience LLMs are better in some languages than others. But generally speaking you need to do some hand-holding and also to understand the codebase a bit.
AI: This seems broken, I can't figure out why. Let me reimplement the whole thing in a different way.
me: Can you add some debug logs to this external library?
AI: Ah I found the bug, it was a one line fix.
Fun computer fact: in binary data streams, zeros don't convey information and are included solely for padding purposes. They can be removed to make files smaller, then inserted back if a particular program requires padding for compatibility.
