Can sound help you find a breathing rhythm? Breathe along with this: six breaths a minute. We made an interactive piece exploring breath, sound and movement in yoga. Link below

you know where in-the-moment, "system 1" type ai decision-making could be cool? music technology. jevseq is a demented multiplayer drum sequencer. you paint the world, jev walks it in real time, and tries its hardest to hit a snare on 2 and 4. up here jevseq.untold.exposed

I built an interactive guide on how Shazam (the music identification app) works! This is the next installment in my newly coined "How The Heck?" series, where we explore everyday tech that can feel like magic (QR Codes, GPS, and now this one). Hope you enjoy it! perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

Got a pretty good setup going with Claude Remote Control, doing Windows builds and testing for our audio systems without having to suffer using a Windows machine. I talk to Claude from a browser on my Mac, it drives things on Windows for me.

I've also noticed that even though it feels like "I'm in Claude Code all the time now, I don't need to teleport an editor or a terminal", that's not actually true at all. I miss those tools almost immediately, and having to ask Claude to show me things feels silly.

Like a lot of Anthropic stuff at the moment, it works until it doesn't. I've had sessions get disconnected/zombied without being able to reconnect them ever again. It also seems to leak sessions, which I discovered when I saw it had eaten up all the RAM on that laptop.

Interesting thoughts on architecture, and lack of it in agentic model outputs.

In agentic engineering the spec is the blueprint that call for specific libraries. At a certain level the AI may choose, no different than a construction framer picking 2x4s and fasteners. But it shouldn’t be milling lumber, that’s a “solved problem”. interconnected.org/home/2026/03...

My unsubstantiated theory is that the affordances coding models perceive are those they’ve been tuned for. To maximise applicability, that’s the lowest common denominator between codebases: language and framework primitives.

So that’s what they grind everything down to. If you don’t specifically nudge them, they’ll ignore your beautiful abstractions, and certainly won’t design any new ones.

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

probably orthogonal to your view of slop but: bsky.app/profile/aven...

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

Farewell to French composer Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonate—slowly, endlessly—like a tone that never quite fades.
