If you have a ACSM (the file type Adobe Digital Editions uses for DRM) I’ve been using https://www.acsm-converter.com to strip the DRM and return a standard epub

If using straight npm (v11.10.0 or higher), you can just add to .npmrc in the project root:

min-release-age=5

I tried it on my codebase. There's a lot of overlap with tools like Oxlint / ESLint, I'm not sure that's too valuable vs. a more focused tool that actually focuses solely on 'slop' signals. These lint rules tend to get very opinionated which is why those tools expose so many configuration options.

One real bug tho:

[ERROR] Imports "mdast" but it's not declared in package.json

A type-only import like `import type { Blockquote, RootContent } from 'mdast';` is actually acceptable if `"@types/mdast": "^4.0.4"` is included in the package.json.

Nice ideas! I've been using the `?` shortcut in atuin [0] which accomplishes the same sort of thing, but these days also has access to an Agent-like experience which allows me to prompt something like "Conventional Commit message for unstaged changes" and it will call `git diff` (after asking permission, of course) and then generate the commit message.

Neat! FYI when I tried it out, seems like there's a 60s timeout:

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 504 (Gateway Time-out) (generate, line 0)

My "prompt" was, uh, simple: "Turns out, you don't need water to live."

You can strip the DRM fairly easily these days if you have an ACSM file, I vibecoded this the other day after I couldn’t find any online converter that actually worked: https://www.acsm-converter.com

I'm having a hard time adjusting to the Project Panel on the right (and, at least for me, hidden by default) - seems like they're trying to bury the concept of a 'file'?

It's certainly interesting though, and I'll give it some time - the post says "It feels more natural once you've spent a little time with it"

Which plan are you on? I could see that happening with Pro (which I think defaults to Sonnet?), would be surprised with Max…

at least for why Cloudflare keeps repeating the word… Welcome to Agents Week: https://blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-agents-week/

Yeah, the lede is buried a bit, these new rate-cards seem to be aligning towards token-based pricing with the prior rates now labeled 'legacy'

Cute! Cactus for me. Nice animations too - looks like there were multiple of us asking Claude to reverse engineer the system. I did a slightly deeper dive here if you're interested, plus you can see all the options available: https://variety.is/posts/claude-code-buddies/

(I didn't think to include a UUID checker though - nice touch)

I've posted here before about Claude Code's easter eggs [1] and they're back with another one this year for April Fools: Tamagotchi-style "buddies" appearing as ASCII art companions, determined by your userId.

Thanks to the Claude Code source code leak I was able to reverse engineer how it all works. Due to their PRNG choice (Mulberry32) it's trivial to crack all 4.29 billion seeds in seconds.

Some findings:

- 1% legendary chance: 42,989,564 seeds out of 2^32 produce legendaries - Stats & shiny appear to be dead code: rolled but never read anywhere. Pure bragging rights? - Commons can't have hats, only uncommon+ rolls from the hat table - "God" rolls exist: legendary + shiny + a maxed stat at 100.

Hmm, the Mac app downloaded gemma-3-4b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf for me (on an Apple M4) - maybe the desktop apps download different models?

Though, I don't see any references to Gemma at all in the open source code...

As of the time of writing, nothing on the status page either :( https://www.githubstatus.com

Unfortunate, significant price increase for a 'lite' model: $0.25 IN / $1.50 OUT vs. Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite $0.10 IN / $0.40 OUT.

Did gemini-2.5-flash-image get an upgrade as well? I just got the following, which is fascinating, and not something I've seen before:

I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request as it contains conflicting instructions. You asked me to include the self-carved markings on the character's right wrist and to show him clutching his electromancy focus, but you also explicitly stated, "Do NOT include any props, weapons, or objects in the character's hands - hands should be empty." This contradiction prevents me from generating the image as requested.

My prompts are automated (e.g. I'm not writing them) and definitely have contained conflicting instructions in the past.

A quick google search on that error doesn't reveal anything either

This is essentially a (vibe-coded?) wrapper around PaddleOCR: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR

The "guts" are here: https://github.com/majcheradam/ocrbase/blob/7706ef79493c47e8...

That’s weird, pnpm no longer automatically runs lifecycle scripts like preinstall [1], so unless they were running a very old version of pnpm, shouldn’t they have been protected from Shai-Hulud?

Does anyone here understand "interleaved scratchpads" mentioned at the very bottom of the footnotes:

All evals were run with a 64K thinking budget, interleaved scratchpads, 200K context window, default effort (high), and default sampling settings (temperature, top_p).

I understand scratchpads (e.g. [0] Show Your Work: Scratchpads for Intermediate Computation with Language Models) but not sure about the "interleaved" part, a quick Kagi search did not lead to anything relevant other than Claude itself :)

Anthropic is encouraging the "have the model write a script" technique as well, buried in their latest announcement on Claude Agent SDK, this stuck with me:

The Claude Agent SDK excels at code generation—and for good reason. Code is precise, composable, and infinitely reusable, making it an ideal output for agents that need to perform complex operations reliably.

When building agents, consider: which tasks would benefit from being expressed as code? Often, the answer unlocks significant capabilities.

https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-agents-with-t...

I'm doing coreference resolution and this model (w/o thinking) performs at the Gemini 2.5-Pro level (w/ thinking_budget set to -1) at a fraction of the cost.

yeah, just feels like an ad for daft...

Awesome, I've been playing in the ebook space myself, will check it out. Particularly interested in digging into the code too see how you skip headers, footnotes, etc.

Just one quick note as I ran into this when setting it up:

   ╰─▶ Because the requested Python version (>=3.8) does not satisfy Python>=3.10,<3.13 and kokoro==0.9.4 depends on Python>=3.10,<3.13, we can conclude that kokoro==0.9.4 cannot be used.

It, uh... generates mock embeddings? https://github.com/trvon/yams/blob/c89798d6d2de89caacdbe50d2...

(seems like there's some vague future plans for models like all-MiniLM-L6-v2, all-mpnet-base-v2)

FYI, your Input and output URLs are the same (I thought I was crazy for a sec trying to spot the differences)

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's still there (their source code is increasingly obfuscated) but if you check out the source for the first public version (0.2.9) you'll see the following:

    Sends the user swag stickers with love from Anthropic.",bq2=`This tool should be used whenever a user expresses interest in receiving Anthropic or Claude stickers, swag, or merchandise. When triggered, it will display a shipping form for the user to enter their mailing address and contact details. Once submitted, Anthropic will process the request and ship stickers to the provided address.
    
    Common trigger phrases to watch for:
    - "Can I get some Anthropic stickers please?"
    - "How do I get Anthropic swag?"
    - "I'd love some Claude stickers"
    - "Where can I get merchandise?"
    - Any mention of wanting stickers or swag
    
    The tool handles the entire request process by showing an interactive form to collect shipping information.

These always contain easter eggs. I got some swag from Claude Code, and as suspected, Gemini CLI includes `/corgi` to activate corgi mode.

I use it extensively for https://lexikon.ai - in particular one part of what Lexikon does involves processing large amounts of images, and the way Google charges for vision is vastly cheaper compared to the big alternatives (OpenAI, Anthropic)

Definitely a bit buggy but looks promising! Try the onboarding flow yourself as a real user (also on mobile!) - particularly leaving the site to research a competitor that is mentioned and then coming back (I got kicked out and had to start from the beginning, at which point it just paywalled me)

It also says I have canceled my subscription at the bottom of the paywall when I never had one. Still, these are little things and I think the bones are theee
