Claude Fable 5 1 month ago

Homebrew is lagging a bit behind. If you want to use Fable right away, but still have claude code through homebrew, this is how you can do that manually:

Edit the cask locally:

  brew edit --cask claude-code
Set the version to 2.1.170 And set the sha256 to the correct values, which you can get by running
  curl https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases/2.1.170/manifest.json
Here's what I've used:
  version "2.1.170"
  sha256 arm:          "e903646d8b7a31882a80ecd27569a27d8ac57b3708745f349709632c84117fdf",
         x86_64:       "914f23a70bbed5d9ae567e3e04b86206ed9971b371bc9baca3f79c8885bfddb4",
         arm64_linux:  "1bb9d032440a75532f7dd4cafbc687f220aaf16c63eba17e192dfbec2f04bd25",
         x86_64_linux: "849e007277a0442ab27570d3e3d6d43787507946590e8dd1947e5a39b7081f9e"

Then run:
  export HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1
  brew uninstall --cask claude-code
  rm -rf /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/claude-code
  brew reinstall --cask claude-code

About 40, of which I only use a few. It actually got me started on a project: how can I minimize the cost of keeping all of those domains. After a lot of tinkering I could cut costs with a healthy amount, not sure if it was worth all the time I put into it though, haha ;)

Maybe it will help someone out: https://www.dot.bs/registrar-combinations -> copy-paste a list of your domains, and it will find the cheapest combination of registrars for you

Exactly. I run a registrar price comparison service, and a lot of domain extensions are basically sold ‘at cost’. The catch is that a) a registrar will sell some tlds with a tiny/no margin, but charge a healthy extra for other tlds (like a ‘loss leader) and/or b) get you on the renewals (or c) keep increasing fees once their number of customers is high enough and hope most of them won’t notice for some time, double or triple of regular fees is not uncommon!).

So even though margins are low, as a customer it still makes sense to shop around.

Ps https://dot.bs is the service I run to compare tld registration and renewal prices

Looks like you're back 'online'? But this is sad to hear. I run a service that compares domain name prices (https://dot.bs if you're curious), and maybe it would be good to include something like a 'reliability' score or something per extension (ie registry).

I see (on https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db) that Radix also operates .fun, .host, .press, .site, .space, .store, .tech, .uno, and .website. So those could get some indication to start with. Does anyone know of any other 'less reliable' registries..?

I'm coming from a bit similar situation and I decided to build something for this. Basically I see the domain registration itself as a commodity service (ie just go for the cheapest one), and then DNS management etc you can do through a common interface. A way to achieve this is to:

  1. Register the domain at whichever place is the cheapest. 
  2. Set the nameservers to the ones belonging to the DNS management service. 
  3. All domain name management can be done from the DNS panel at the DNS management service.
Not sure if I'm explaining it clearly, but please have a look at our service at https://dot.bs if you're interested. We're comparing a 140 domain registrars on price and provide the service I described above.

Food for thought here. I've developed an app for myself that addresses issues 1, 2, 3, and 6 to some extent (ie prevent long todo lists, finishing tasks is rewarding, nudges towards effective behavior). Now to see if the other issues can be addressed/are in scope for me :)

Have a look at https://can.do if you're interested.

@op would be interested to see your list of 13 'strategies to help me get things done'!

This resonates a lot with me. I've tried so many todo apps, but in the end I always returned to a simple piece of paper.

It did bother me that paper is not very flexible, so I'm experimenting with a digital 'paper to-do' version. If you're curious, check it out at https://can.do :)

Feedback of course most welcome.

Really great idea and well executed from what I can see. Just wondering about the business model: how often do your coaches interact with your customers? It seems that at a ~$10/month fee you wouldn't be able to afford too much of their time per customer.. Maybe 5 minutes per month at most (assuming $75/hr and deducting payment fees etc) ? Or am I missing something?

Very interesting, and a bit similar to my entrepreneurial journey with websites. Making a single very successful website is quite a challenge, as I found out. What will be your main strategies making your apps successful? Pure product focus? PR? Other forms of marketing?

Sublime 2 baby, never felt so happy while writing code :D Maybe it's just the default color scheme, or the code overview, or (most of the time) nicely working code completion.. it just 'feels' right!
