@backnotprop To be clear it used accessibility apis to hijack the space either side of the notch whilst the menubar itself is hidden

@backnotprop When I was using Ghostty frequently I made a menubar tool that put tabs there for every running Claude code session. Given I auto hide the menubar it made use of that space either side of the notch quite nicely This is a cool concept but I think there’s more UIs to explore

woke up & decided to prove that a bunch of yc startups and labs cant actually beat native mac window UX + ghostty tiling combo. yall have about a day to do something novel in an electron UI before this drops.

@humanwritten_ @bcherny Did not get a refund or even a response. They ban indiscriminately because of bad actors they’re dealing with, but there’s no recourse for those who get auto banned erroneously If it was a ban and refund I wouldn’t be so frustrated with their (lack of) treatment

@Verdant_Lair @bcherny did you not get a refund? & did you make your way to the mysterious google form?

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

@bcherny @humanwritten_ i got banned 2 months ago for... checks note... making and using a mac menubar app that monitored my claude 5h and weekly usage sent a bunch of emails and messages and no reply. had just paid for a yearly subscription. never trusting anthropic again!

@humanwritten_ Not planning to ban people, and will be emailing people so they know and can grab refunds if they need

@deepfates thiamine (benfotiamine is best imo) creatine minimise pufa (antagonises other benefits) b-multi (thiamine burns other b vits at higher rate)

Okay weird health twitter. What's the actual stack to just be smarter everyday? Like if you wanted the 80/20 to be functioning at peak mental

@_dmca Oh and Happy Birthday for Today!

@_dmca I built an organizer for cataloguing media and it's turned out so well that it's replaced apple notes and notion for me. Even got Delicious Library style cover art discovery

it’s my birthday tomorrow. let’s celebrate. reply with the coolest thing you built with codex. winner gets 3 months of pro.

@eatpraydiehard @shakoistsLog Better code quality. Better decomposition. Solves hard problems rationally. Claude good for vibes and prototype but Codex helps turn into a well oiled machine

@shakoistsLog idk i haven’t really been seeing it. 50% smarter means what exactly? my repos don’t involve a lot of frontier math. it’s for sure better at reasoning about very complex logic/async bugs but that’s basically the status quo. def better to talk to than 5.3 or 5.2

i need you be really serious with you guys for a second, no trolling. gpt 5.4 xhigh codex is like 50% smarter than opus 4.6 in claude code. maybe 70%. if you need intelligence make the switch.

@thsottiaux Waiting for business plan reset good sir. Paying extra for less value right now!

Hooks are coming to codex. That’s all I wanted to say.

@thsottiaux Business users using codex are not having their limits reset. We pay more and get less 🤷‍♂️

Yes hascodexratelimitreset.today Whoever made this, you made me laugh.

@viemccoy If you haven't already Vie, look into the work of Ray Peat. This article touches on Crohn's and I imagine his first principles approach to nutrition in conjunction with his love of poetry and art might make him an interesting resource for you: raypeat.com/articles/nutri…

I must admit that being in the hospital had me dooming slightly, they don't have any mechanism to get fresh air at this one without being discharged and it (along with my reasons for being admitted) was really getting to me. But today, I woke up feeling a bit better. And more hopeful. I can feel the future I'm working so hard to get us to pulling me back on track, which means getting my health sorted, which means taking time off. It's very counterintuitive to me, but it is necessary. I haven't seriously taken a break in years, and this is a bit forced upon me, but long overdo. Everything we do is one thing and all parts of it matter. Remember to take care of yourself :)

@thsottiaux Please help with the business plan! Pay more and get none of the love you're giving the plus plan. Make it make sense please!

“Codex App has transformed the way I write software… I barely use anything else these days” ... and yet we're only getting started

@thsottiaux Usage burnt in a few hours on business plan, no resets though :(

OK, Codex is back and stable and we should be good for a while. Reset button pressed, should see it in a bit

@raycast @glazeapp Not native apps sadly. just web and electron slop posing as desktop apps

Today we're launching Glaze 💠 Create any desktop app in minutes by chatting with AI. Beautiful, powerful, and truly personal. Learn more on glazeapp.com Follow @glazeapp for updates.

@boyuan_chen @spottedinprod @almonk @SoftwareReplay Better to touch grass and notice the real world when out and about. Hard to cultivate taste if you can’t switch off from Claude code and soak up the world around you

@spottedinprod @almonk @SoftwareReplay been wanting this badly. i run claude code sessions from my phone over ssh right now which works but feels like texting through a telegraph machine. proper mobile UX for agentic coding could be huge for those 'walking the dog but need to fix a deploy' moments

echo · claude code in your pocket by @almonk @softwarereplay

@Teknium @hyperonline command of language, depth of perception and ability to articulate clearly what's needed and what's wrong, taste to guide how something should look and behave the metaskill or framework is to cultivate passion and rigour in equal measure

@hyperonline counter-point, I do think there is *something* that differentiates people who use AI very well vs very poorly. I dont know what it is, and it's not esoteric ai skills, but there is something that makes ai able to be leveraged dramatically more by some people than others

"You need to learn all these esoteric AI skills IMMEDIATELY or else blah blah permanent underclass" This is completely retarded Every "AI skill" people have learned over the last 3 years has been obsoleted 3 months later when a new model comes out Remember 'ultrathink?' Chain-of-thought prompting? Goofy roleplay prompts? ("You are a genius software developer. Please oneshot this for me") Heavy few-shot prompting? Context engineering? This is just going to keep happening There are several hundred-billion-dollar companies whos job is to make this shit so easy to use that your mom could figure it out on her cellphone That esoteric memory management system you built? It will be completely obsoleted in 6 months by a native version that's way better The only "AI skills" that have been consistently useful this entire time are just "having good ideas" and "being able to communicate them clearly" If you cannot do those things, then yah, you're going to be just as bad at AI as you were at everything else

@SketchesbyBoze @Artedeingenio authors who use computers and autocorrect aren't real authors!

@Artedeingenio AI art isn't real art and AI artists aren't real artists.

An artist who refuses to embrace AI is simply showing an inability to adapt and a paralysis driven by fear, dressed up as hollow arrogance and so-called artistic integrity. It makes no sense to keep using a pencil for many tasks where AI is simply faster and more powerful. As you said, it’s fear disguised as superiority, a performative sense of ethical and artistic elevation. And on top of that, there’s the ignorance of assuming that artists who use AI don’t know how to draw or create without it. As if we were born yesterday. In the end, like everyone who resists change, they’ll probably be remembered as people who couldn’t see what was right in front of them.

@HiTw93 looks amazing hey!

Tried Readout recently. A native macOS app that visualizes your Claude Code environment in real time. Agents, sessions, repos, costs, MCP, ports, plus instant global search and full session replays with timeline playback. All local, no account, very polished for a beta. Excited to see where this goes. readout.org

@2Calico @de3dsoul The LotR trilogy was made on such machines. perhaps the issue is not a matter of power but of passion and of purpose

@de3dsoul Aesthetically for sure but from a power standpoint comparative to modern technology, everything shown here that runs off electricity is stone-age

The future was much cooler in the past

@benjitaylor Careful, I had a Claude account banned with no recourse for creating a menu bar Claude code usage tracker If you’re using the CC credentials from the keychain then you may run into the same issue. I’ve bumped @trq212 several times with no response

Readout is a fully native macOS app I’ve been building for myself. It provides a real-time overview of your dev environment and Claude Code config. All local, no account required. It's still very much a beta, but now available to try: readout.org
