Apologies, that should be fixed now, but let me know if any issues.

You'd have to ban beets if you want to ban nitrates. Caffeine is more of a performance enhancer than nitrates, but they wouldn't ban it because everyone drinks coffee.
Sleep is the biggest performance enhancer. They should ban that.
Yep, you're right - thanks for the correction.
The shoes definitely help, but there are all sorts of other innovations that get far less press.
More is known about optimal fuelling, hydration and sleep. Improve those and you improve your daily training. Better quality training compounds and allows you to reach closer to your talent ceiling.
Kerr also had a system set up so his bedroom had less oxygen than the rest of his house (to mimic sleeping at altitude).
He had two pacers breaking the air for the first 1,000m (although he had to do it himself the rest of the way, which was bloody impressive). Meant he could relax mentally for the first 2.5 laps and didn't have to focus on pace. I think El Guerrouj set the previous WR in a race without pacers.
They also had pacing lights on the track which helps the pacers run at an even pace.
And there are all sorts of innovations like taking sodium bicarbonate to reduce muscle acidity, nitrates to dilate the veins and increase blood flow to muscles and high doses of caffeine to reduce the rate of perceived exertion.
As someone else mentioned, track surfaces are generally a little bouncier now than they used to be.
Yeah, that's valid. It's not open source yet, but watch this space.
I can't even see people's email addresses when they sign up (as they just sign into their Claude Code account), but I get that you'd have to just take that on faith for now.
As it's a desktop app, someone can just point a proxy at it and watch exactly what it sends. You'll see that nothing like your conversations with Claude or even your login ever leave the app.
Yeah, I have used that and it's pretty good. For me, keeping up with multiple Claude Code agents got pretty annoying (hard to see which need your attention etc) so I felt like I needed a lightweight UI. I get that that isn't for everyone though.
Am removing this cap today in case of interest.
Thanks. Email me and we may be able to work something out - chris@abralo.com
Honestly, no. I don't have a number, but:
VS Code with the extension uses Electron (heavy, because it bundles its own Chromium), extension host, and language servers which is what causes it to crash when you run multiple agents.
Abralo has a Rust backend (0% CPU) and has one shared webview (your native one).
But it's worth saying that the agents themselves use a huge amount of memory however you run them. That's why it's important not to layer additional overhead on top of each.
Anthropic have delayed the changes for now, but yes, this could be a problem.
If there’s no sensible solution, I’ll personally move to another coding agent (and will add that compatibility to Abralo).
Great, thanks. Let me know if you have any questions, issues or suggestions.
Yeah, herdr is great too. Will be adding other agents to this soon. Just started with Claude Code mainly because it's the one I use atm!
Is there any chance you could email me (chris@abralo.com) with your OS and a little explanation of the bug (ideally with a screenshot)? Struggling to recreate it. Would be very grateful.
No, but I can look at adding this today. I'll comment on here again when added.
Email me and I may be able to increase the limit for you if you're willing to share some feedback? chris@abralo.com
Thanks. Yeah - honestly, I'd be sceptical too. Too many bad dev tools around atm.
Let me know how the weekend goes.
Yes, that's very possible. Can let you know when it's added here.
It already has created jobs where people just act as reviewers and gatekeepers though. There are people who vibecoded products and are now running decent-sized businesses.
I'm able to control my coding agent even though it writes code better and faster than I can.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it will always be used as a tool however smart it gets.
In software, it hasn't replaced all the software engineers (even though it's better and faster than us), it's just meant that we now have more leverage.
We can write more code and work on more projects than ever. I don't see why we would suddenly stop using it like that?
I agree. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. You can have something smarter than you which you use as a tool.
My point was that there's nothing objectively special about our level of intelligence, so it shouldn't be used as a benchmark.
Got it, thanks
I can't even ride a bike so I got AGI'd about a decade ago
Yes, plenty of variance. That's why I'd recommend creating a range of different questions that you would like to appear for and check them regularly. Then you'll at least get some directionally-correct data, even if it isn't an exact science.
Okay, will do - thanks.
Glad it helped!
I think this is true of "AGI" too.
AI is already better than us at a bunch of things, and worse at a few. The list of things it's better than us at increases every month.
In 5 years, people will still be saying "Well, I can still ride a unicycle blindfolded better than a robot so it's not AGI."
AGI is such a meaningless term and puts too much importance on human-level intelligence.
Please can you explain what this is for my monkey brain?
I was intending for people to only be able to do the next matchday's fixtures, but can allow predictions for other matchdays too if you'd like?
Both added. Thanks for the feedback.
