Been experimenting with some lightweight local tooling around Claude Code to reduce context size and speed things up on larger Swift projects. Feels surprisingly effective. Curious if others are doing similar things or if I’ve reinvented something obvious.

The @Telegraph headline says it all. VAT on school fees wasn’t a one-off — it was the opening act to @UKLabour's wider campaign of class warfare. Some supported it believing it wouldn’t affect them. But the budget makes the truth clear: when aspiration is taxed, eventually

let me make it simple for you: opus 4.5 matches sonnet 4.5 quality while using 76% fewer tokens, which drops the cost by about 60% at the highest reasoning level, it still uses 48% fewer tokens and scores about 4% higher, making it roughly 13% cheaper while being more capable

Awful @google have made functional Nest thermostats useless today. No technical reason; just decided to make anything not new stop working. So crappy. Avoid Google.

🚨 Major active supply chain attack just hit npm. Popular package @​ctrl/tinycolor was trojanized — and it didn’t stop there. Over 40 packages were silently modified to steal secrets from dev machines & CI pipelines. Our team at Socket caught it. Full report coming soon. Stay

There's a ticking timebomb in UK offshore wind: massive decommissioning costs that aren't properly funded. Like in "The Big Short," a forensic look reveals developers might be ignoring guidelines, potentially leaving taxpayers on the hook. A thread 🧵 (1/18)

I’ve been trying out Claude Opus 4.1 and it’s noticeably better than Opus 4 from what I can see. Better at organising itself and producing fewer bugs.

If you use "AI agents" (LLMs that call tools) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta Any time you combine access to private data with exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data!

Yes, I'm one of those engineers posting the Claude Code usage. $6k. agents running parallel. 10 PRs in a day, refactored, and deployed. I get why it annoys you. Another viral "look at my AI spend" post. More hype, more noise. But here's what you're missing while you're rolling

I think it’s safe to say the new iOS design has not gone down well. There’ll be another wave of outrage in September when it rolls out to regular users. This can’t be good for Apple. Short $AAPL.
