It's is REALLY impressive how @dngnclub.itch.io is able to create original retro style graphic art without feeling derivative like a lot of artists.

Let's start a petition to get TKG to make him the sole artist for everything
@mothership.bsky.social going forward!

Meanwhile, Claude still confuses me as a name.

So I've been trying to eat healthier and mostly cut out sodas, drinking stuff like @drinkliquiddeath.bsky.social and sugar-free drinks instead. I've lost like 15lbs over a few months. But damn, everything's too sweet now. Can't even drink Mt Dews anymore.

At least I can still do slushies though.

People like to complain about the price of Macs, but I've always said that if you try to get the same hardware including the quality of the case, track pad, battery, etc. you're not going to find anything cheaper.

My personal machine is a first gen M1 Air and it's still fantastic.

I've seen more bugs in GitHub in the last 2 months than I have in the previous 13 years.

Mostly minor things, but still.

TIL "Monte Cook" is a dude's actual name. I thought it was some semi-obscure/niche phrase like Sine Nomine.

I don't know what it's like there, but I would be over the moon if that happened to me here in the US.

There is something indescribably cool about talking to a couple leaders of a small company that you love, and taking them into moving their e-commerce to the platform you work for.

What I have Claude analyze:
โฎ• Macro factors (interest rates, inflation, sector rotation)
โฎ• Geopolitical risks/opportunities
โฎ• Near-term catalysts (earnings, news flow)
โฎ• 2-8 week price movements

Basically finding stocks positioned for current macro trends with upcoming catalysts

The approach:
โฎ• Focus on swing trades (2-8 week holds)
โฎ• Run multiple iterations with Claude until picks converge
โฎ• Cross-check with ChatGPT deep research for validation

Currently in 2 gold ETFs, one just hit take-profit this morning, 3 completed trades so far

Been running a fun experiment (not recommending this): letting Claude Opus 4 Deep Research pick my stocks for 3ish months

Started at $1,062 after taking a loss (the dip in the graph). Now at $1,637 (+54%)

Just play money in an old account, but the results are... fun

I think my favorite part of the AI code tooling, is the fact that I can bang out any random stupid idea I have without putting much thought into it as long as I give it clear instructions up front.

...I guess that could probably be a bad thing too. ๐Ÿ˜…

I don't even want to talk about how much I've spent on it. ๐Ÿ˜… My company is ok with the cost though. I was only #4 last week & #5 this week.

I've been using Claude Code for:
ใƒปNavigating large codebases
ใƒปCreating robust multi-step plans
ใƒปBased on the plans, making bulk changes. I audit everything!

I pulled my Claude Code stats last week and I've used ~3.4 BILLION tokens since April.

How much is too much? Asking for a friend.

We moved to them from Recoil and they are really nice to use. I'm stoked to see them become part of the spec.

I really wish there was a good alternative. I know there are a couple but they are smaller than BSky by a long shot.

I'm late to the game, but I've recently been falling in love with Junji Ito's work.

It's all so wonderfully fucked up!

since this keeps going around, a few common clarifications:

- no pay-to-play. we wonโ€™t prioritize comments of subscribers
- we donโ€™t plan to do Twitter-style โ€œpaid checkmarksโ€
- if we do add a โ€œsupporterโ€ profile badge, it will be hideable
- bookmarks will be free (when we get to them)

I really hope you're changing your registrar. A big part of this falls on them.
