I'm actually not sure. I installed it in PowerShell and /doctor command showsthe info in the picture. But I don't know if underneath it uses git bash, because I've just realized that I happened to habe that installed as well.

Agree, I hate this. Most of the time I cannot find the content I saw earlier because the feed changed completely.

Why is it that all modern apps with “feeds” like social media apps or even reading apps like Medium, Substack, etc. exhibit the anti pattern of refreshing and losing your spot if you switch away for even a minute?
It’s absolutely infuriating.

Actually, if you go to alternative installation methods, it can also be installed in PowerShell. At least that is how I did it

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

Interesting, since everyone is mentioning this as a big deal I though I did not understand it correctly (great post btw). Maybe I'm thinking too much about Claude Code and this is more useful in Claude web and the such...

Claude Code overview - Claude Docs Learn about Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal and helps you turn ideas into code faster than ever before.

What am I missing, isn't this just basically the same as having those tools/scripts in a folder and list them in CLAUDE.md, describing what they can do, with maybe an extra markdown file with instructions? I don't really see the big gains here... Are we really reinventing folders, mds and scripts?

Introduction to Multi-Stage Image Build for Python This post introduces the Multi-Stage build approach for setting up a lightweight dockerized Python development environment.

(1/3) Introduction to Multi-Stage Build 🐳👇🏼

The size of the image is a function of its dependencies and the efficiency of the image build. This tutorial focuses on resizing a #Python image using minimal images as our baseline and the multi-stage method.

A humorous comparison meme split into two halves. Top half: The Stack Overflow logo (stacked orange lines in a gray tray) appears on the left, with the text on the right: “you’re absolutely wrong.” Bottom half: The ChatGPT logo (green interlocking hexagonal knot) is on the left, with the text on the right: “you’re absolutely right.” A thin black line divides the two sections. The image playfully contrasts Stack Overflow’s often critical tone with ChatGPT’s agreeable responses.

By the way, what’s a AA? Instead of fuzzy labels like 'indie' and 'AA', we propose a new data-driven system to classify video games based on their actual production scope. This new framework reveals the real economic and crea...

By the way, what’s a AA?
open.substack.com/pub/hushcras...

A graph titled Scope of video games according to Hushcrasher Classification System. The Y axis shows Game Size (from 10 MB to 100GB), the X axis shows Credits count (sourced from Mobygames). The clustered dots on the graph represent 4 distinct scale categories of games - Kei, Midi, AA, AAA. The larger correlation between the size and the credits means larger category of a game.

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:

Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

AI is a Floor Raiser, not a Ceiling Raiser - Elroy An AI assistant that remembers and sets goals

Good article. Instead of trying to build products promising to replace humans with "superintelligence", consider the *actual* shape of language models and their capabilities. We have a great floor-raiser here that can be applied to bridge capability gaps.

A more interesting upside of AI Does AI provide anything to look forward to, if “super-intelligence” sounds boring?

This post tries to explain why I find language models exciting. But it doesn't try to persuade skeptics that they should agree. It's aimed more at people already working with AI, and its goal is to sharpen our collective sense of what the upside potential might be. #MLSky 🤖 🧪
