Mapping the Design Space of User Experience for Computer Use Agents Large language model (LLM)-based computer use agents execute user commands by interacting with available UI elements, but little is known…

Good agent UX isn’t about maximum autonomy; it’s about adaptive autonomy.

Sometimes the agent acts on its own.
Sometimes it slows down, explains, or asks for confirmation.

The best agents know when to act and when to ask.

Anthropic is about to drop Sonnet 5 during Super Bowl week Claude Sonnet 5 leaks suggest a new Anthropic model with strong math and coding capabilities, launching this week.

Watching the Claude Sonnet 5 rumors πŸ‘€
Early leaks show:
* Superior coding vs Opus 4.5
* Exceptional UI/rendering generation
* Lower cost tier
Could be huge for SwiftUI development & rapid prototyping.

Thrive isn’t about tracking every dollar. It’s about understanding how today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s outcomes and staying oriented as life changes.

Your bank accounts deserve more than a generic dashboard.
In Thrive 1.8, each linked bank gets its own dedicated space. Ask questions, explore activity, and get insights that actually match the account.
One app. Many financial views.

[201~ tells your terminal that a β€œbracketed paste” event started, but Claude Code doesn’t handle it properly, so it hangs.

πŸ’‘ iTerm2 fix:
Edit β†’ Paste Special β†’ Advanced Paste β†’ uncheck β€œBracketed Paste Mode”

No more frozen terminals. πŸ”₯
