Aren't beaches under water right now?

Aren’t beaches often underwater, since they’re beaches?

Some are, although many alternate between being underwater and not being underwater in a regular, periodic fashion.

Or just Yojimbo it.

I would like to do without the violence.

> quash

It's a formal term: to officially void, cancel, set aside, or forcefully suppress something.

In all of the articles around Judge Canon's actions regarding this case, I do not recall quash being mentioned. That's why I was asking if that's really what was done. I was not asking about the definition of the word.

Yes. I also closely followed this case, and the word "quash" was frequently used to describe her actions. I'd go so far as to say you probably subconsciously picked up on the verbage. The mind is a funny thing.

> Anthropic is unique in that our ability to spend tokens for internal use far exceeds what any other business would realistically want to spend.

Obvious, but this is my biggest takeaway from the announcement.

I learned Director (and Authorware) a little in school. But by the time I graduated, Flash was the standout, and I specialized in it for almost a decade.

Interesting timing. They just announced the Atari 800XL Hybrid Gaming Console, coming out in April:

Just a money-grab of the current Atari label owner, that company has nothing to do with the original Atari (which basically disolved in the mid-90s, with the label landing in the bargain bin of dead home computer brands - and since then the Atari trademark has been sold multiple times to ever more shady 'investors').

I've been using TB5-compatible magnetic USB adapters to switch between TB5 Macs. The keyboard, mouse, & hub all plug into my monitor.

I used the Sabrent TB4 KVM for a while. I had to give it up and use the magnetic USB hack when my new gear outpaced the KVP switch (i.e. TB5 == 5K HDR @ 120Hz).

If anyone here does try magnetic adapters, I highly recommend the 90° flat connectors, since they're far less prone to disconnect when you move the monitor.

Yeah, this one is the standard. It's pretty robust.

Plan mode is critical in the beginning, because there's a lot of long tail decisions that haven't been considered, let alone resolved.

But as skills and memory are populated over time, Plan mode isn't as necessary. It becomes simpler to let Claude just build and get something general in place that works, and then refine from there. Auto mode will ask essential questions.

I still use Plan mode for big feature changes, to confirm that I've asked for what I want in the right way. I tend to prompt casually, with only a few specific details. Plan mode helps me see the whole picture before committing. In a few cases, it also helped me decide the feature I asked for was wrong.

I don't use Plan mode because I plan out work with a ticket based approach (that also works as a memory store), but I wish there were some kind of Plan mode like harness feature to try as hard as possible to stop it from beginning to code. With the newer models, I have started to have a lot of trouble with them proceeding through the QA with me where I scope out the work and refine requirements and then immediately begin to do the work rather than either making tickets or giving me the full plan to thumbs up like I tell them to do.

So it sounds like we use it somewhat similarly, just taking a glance at it before the work starts, and that's becoming harder to do in my experience. It is important because problems with the overall plan or strategy end up magnified the further you proceed with development.
