From pellets to pallets: How we make vertically integrated masks in the United States 🇺🇸

@joelrunyon @ImpossibleHQ @braunhagey Amazing. 👏 👏 👏

"It always seems IMPOSSIBLE until it's done" @ImpossibleHQ

Latent space is amazing, and "it's just prompts" is a lie Also I'm giving it away for free, so if you want, I can pay you back what you paid me.

The first time I got canceled online was when I observed that SF spends more per homeless person than the cash comp of a junior Google engineer. What. A. Dogpile. Also, funny NYC is just doing a SF rerun here.

i used to use 'continue' or 'keep going' but these days now i just say

@garrytan I’ve been most of my pipelines away from being deterministic and toward being agentic for this very reason. But I haven’t been a developer for 20 years so I think it’s allowed me to accept this sooner.

The thing I believe that few people believe but I think everyone will believe Markdown *is* code

I’ve been using several of your prompts for months (sometimes on an hourly basis) so this is going to save me a lot of copy and pasting 🤣 Got so tired of it, I actually built a pipeline to execute these stages for me. It works most of the time but I’m still copying and pasting Garry prompts regularly. Can’t wait to implement this into my workflow. Thank you!

gstack is available now at github.com/garrytan/gstack Open source, MIT license, let me know if it works for you. It's just one paste to install it on your local Claude Code, and it's a 2nd one to install it in your repo for your teammates.

I've been having such an amazing time with Claude Code I wanted you to be able to have my *exact* skill setup: Introducing gstack, which you can install just by pasting a short piece of text into your Claude code

There must be a pretty significant correlation between the number of times Anthropic has bragged about Claude Code writing almost all their internal code, and the frequency with which their servers have gone down.

Yeah I’m totally fine with revoking the visa of anyone who is posting or chanting “death to America”

@ancerj Experienced this first hand.

Chinese culture and economic strategy in a nutshell. Combine a bazooka of authoritarian money and a population happy to grind into the late hours (just don’t ask them to have kids), and they won’t create new industries or push frontiers; but they will grind you on price/scale

Rubio realizing he’s going to be president of Venezuela, governor of Cuba, and the Shah of Iran.

@zbruceli yup

Getting lots of 500 API internal errors on Claude Code, anyone else?

@martiano yes

Getting a lot of API errors with Claude Code, anyone else?

@robustus Still getting

Anyone else getting 500s in claude code rn?

@robustus I have 8 windows running and they are all on and off.

@garrytan @Charlie4Change NIMBY!

A fully built 1 GW data center complex generates about $31.8M per year in state taxes and $61.5M per year in local taxes from data center operations alone. Also it creates roughly 430 direct jobs at the facility itself, plus many more indirect and construction-phase jobs. consumerenergyalliance.org/cms/wp-content…

We won. No data center. And they have to build a park.

John would probably take issue with that :) he has hundreds of reporters and award-winning local coverage. No one is doing local like Community Impact and I've worked around this industry since 1996. The biz model is cool since he delivers everywhere, it's an alternative to direct mail.

@larmbrust @johnpgarrett Maybe there's not a market for it, but this isn't the in-depth reporting I'm talking about. Mostly copy-paste from press releases or public postings from school boards, etc.

Is anyone making this work in the US? - modern version of your local paper - email + website (no print) - local reporting only (no national crap) - real local reporters - like the Metro section from the 1980s - doing serious old-school coverage - subscription paywall + ads business model - for-profit

@girdley @johnpgarrett

@girdley Community Impact HQ in Pflugerville. Largest printed newspaper in the US because of this approach. But no paywall all free.

Happy Claude Max reset day to those that celebrate.
