7 Years Later, Alex Garland's Hated Sci-Fi Horror Will Land On Streaming Cosmic horror fans will love this alien invasion film.

Yes, Annihilation will stream on Paramount starting August 1. No, the movie wasn't much hated. No, it didn't flop in the usual way. The new Paramount leadership suffocated it by releasing on too few screens. Per screen take was robust. share.google/4PHbY6q65jJk...

While doing some infrastructure work this week with Claude I wondered into some yak shaving … dropped two more MCP servers that really helped me out for coroot and deadman snitch 😂

Now I want to watch this 😂. How many cuts were there of the original movie? I can't recall which one I have, but if I remember correctly one of the cuts made it far more obvious that he was a replicant.

Ah bummer! I thought they took this photo 😂. Here’s my last photo of this nebula from 2023. This was a 10” RC telescope with a mono camera.

Nice! I’ve been able to record video using slowmo, and pull out some cool lightning frames in the past.

OpenCore Legacy Patcher Experience macOS just like before

The worst part was simply removing the adhesive. I’m shocked that’s all they use to seal this thing. Up until doing this, I never knew you could upgrade macOS on older machines like this, but there’s a really nice project called OCLP dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Leg...

I decided to revive an old 2013 iMac 27”, bumped it to 32gb of ram and a 2TB NVME, running current macOS… at the end of the day idk why I even wanted to do this 😂, but it’s super useable now and easily 4x faster.

This is a must have tool for #claude code users: github.com/badlogic/lem...

It creates a super clean HTML trace of your sessions so you can see all the tools calls in detail.

Started using Claude's gmail integration + the playwright MCP to unsubscribe to all the spammy messages I don't care about.. My quality of life just improved slightly 😀

Well this is a first for me.. claude code working along and somehow violated it's own Usage Policy 😂.. I am really curious what triggered this

I’d be curious to hear how Jules works out. I tried it once but the task I gave it was a bit much and it timed out on me

🤣 just the tip of the iceberg. I sent you a DM with some pretty primitive examples you can use that helped me a lot. With the right checkpoints and retry you can have these agents continue even through usage limits and pickup again where they left off

Claude Code Best Practices A blog post covering tips and tricks that have proven effective for using Claude Code across various codebases, languages, and environments.

Using simple scripts in a loop that call Claude code, and well planned features you can leverage git worktrees and start kicking things off in parallel. I’ve not had to get too extreme yet. I have some simple agents that use checkpoints to track their progress allowing me to run overnight

Lol this is a fun one. Using Claude to decompile a random SWF file (in this case I think an old pool game?) and have it totally port the game to JavaScript.

Is it just me, or did #Anthropic and #Claude just get a massive dosage of adderall over the last few hours? The Claude Desktop app now has some wicked cool integrations, and my claude-code / API is flying
