I love CMUX and some people I know who were building their own tmux setups bailed and just started using CMUX -- The built in browser and associated bash tools are awesome but really just having workspaces with colors and todos that survive a refresh makes it worth it if you run a bunch of agents at one time
Until they quit subsidizing my personal tokens I don't think I want this. I do love having insight when I run qwen locally through Claude Code Router so I do agree it's so valuable to have, just not valuable enough to pay API rates lol
What if there was a book that listed everyone's phone numbers?
bro we have PRISM what are you talking about?

Which book would you recommend instead of Diamond's? If nothing exact, what comes to mind?

Just vibe code your own mini cms on top of your static site. Seriously though, I did this recently with mine and have had great results. It's not a Gutenberg WP experience, more like a decapCMS kind of thing.

Do yourself a favor and read Jayber Crow -- One of my all time favorite books and really the book that got me back into fiction after a long time away

> “If you could do it, I suppose, it would be a good idea to live your life in a straight line - starting, say, in the Dark Wood of Error, and proceeding by logical steps through Hell and Purgatory and into Heaven. Or you could take the King's Highway past the appropriately named dangers, toils, and snares, and finally cross the River of Death and enter the Celestial City. But that is not the way I have done it, so far. I am a pilgrim, but my pilgrimage has been wandering and unmarked. Often what has looked like a straight line to me has been a circling or a doubling back. I have been in the Dark Wood of Error any number of times. I have known something of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, but not always in that order. The names of many snares and dangers have been made known to me, but I have seen them only in looking back. Often I have not known where I was going until I was already there. I have had my share of desires and goals, but my life has come to me or I have gone to it mainly by way of mistakes and surprises. Often I have received better than I deserved. Often my fairest hopes have rested on bad mistakes. I am an ignorant pilgrim, crossing a dark valley. And yet for a long time, looking back, I have been unable to shake off the feeling that I have been led - make of that what you will.”

Does any other game have true procedural generated magic systems like DF talks about? I have always been curious how and if they'll pull it off and if it will just end up being all pretty much the same

I'd like to know more
I bet this will get less true over time though as the rate of change slows down, allowing specialized models/training for specific use cases that aren't TAM heavy enough for the big labs to go after them. It's just now any general model is the best thing to use for everything and you're wasting money to build something on what will certainly be obsolete by the time you can get it to market

I went down the rabbit hole yesterday and found the THREE-em dash exists too https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2E3B
Re:99% of My Website Traffic Is Bots on Friday August 07, 2026 @12:36PM (#49212988)
There is bot traffic initiated by a human and bot traffic not initiated by a human. I would want to serve the first but not the second if it impacted my cost/performance at all.

I really like your super emdash
