It seems that even the latest version of #ClaudeCode has a bug around handling encrypted PDFs using its read tool. It gets wedged asking for the password forever.
I wanted to add mine & just two more blogs from ppl I knew to Kagi's small web: https://blog.kagi.com/small-web
It was a ridiculous amount of effort to find people I who I knew to be bloggers, and still had a blog that has been updated in the last year. Most blogs are dead or moved to walled gardens
PSA:
Changed default effort level from medium to high for API-key, Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry, Team, & Enterprise users (control this with /effort)”
#ClaudeCode 2.1.94 has changed the default effort level to high for api users and others. This can blow up reasoning token usage. Reduce if unexpected else 💸
Thought I should start blogging a bit more frequently. Today's post started off a quote I read in today's WP #AI newletter, about the toxic combination of AI agents and trading and AI social web like #Moltbook.
If social media accelerated bank runs from days to hours, agentic AI will accelerate financial panics from hours to minutes — and for 24/7-traded assets, there's no closing bell to stop the cascade.
Still processing. 🤯
It appears #MillaJovovich, yes, the actress from Fifth Element has written an incredible #llm memory system.

In case you think this is an April Fool's joke or something, here is she explaining it.

Wait. Hang on. No, not like that.
This is the funniest #Claude skill I have ever seen and it saves $$$

A #ClaudeCode skill/plugin and #Codex plugin that makes agent talk like caveman — cutting ~75% of output tokens while keeping full technical accuracy. Plus a companion tool that compresses your memory files to cut ~45% of input tokens every session.
Based on the viral observation that caveman-speak dramatically reduces LLM token usage without losing technical substance.

Funny thing is that the people who are funding this war, the American people, are going to be as much screwed by this like the rest of the world, as fuel prices are global
The only way the impact can be lessened on American people is by direct fuel subsidy or, shudder oil nationalization. Which is so unlikely, that I expect gun control to be solved in US before oil nationalization can happen. :)
This is what I admired about Germans when I lived there.
I don’t understand the logic of the author. Can a society run by rules which are optional and subject to individual judgement about whether they are applicable?
Do Americans have a choice of not stopping at stop signs because the streets look empty?
