My Mac had less available memory than I expected, turned out the "claude" Claude Code processes on this machine (running in the background) were using 12GB of RAM between them.

New TIL: I figured out how to use my LLM CLI tool in a shebang line, which means you can write executable scripts in English and have the LLM generate the code to run them.

Wrote about today's GitLab restructuring / "workforce reduction" announcement, and ended up digging around in version control history to find when CREDIT values were first introduced.

Claude's Constitution is now an audiobook, read by two of its authors, Amanda Askell and Joe Carlsmith. It includes a Q&A with the authors about how the project shaped Claude's values.
