I realise Deepseek is very two weeks ago, but I was trying out a new extraction prompt on its reasoning model and umm….

Unexpected use case for Claude this week - reading notes from my neighbour. He’s in his 80s and organising trees on our border to be trimmed. Absolutely no chance I can read his handwriting so uploaded to Claude which (somewhat surprisingly) nailed it.

25mm of rain in 20 minutes resulted in a skylight leak over the box sets. Drying them of and it strikes me that back in the day they were all-in on terrifying covers.
(Brahms Requiem I can understand, but why make Casals look like a devil? And the Beethoven sonatas are lovely)

I've revived an old (18 months - ancient!) LLM powered synthetic personas project. Currently having Claude assist with prompting, and asking it to use its own persona guidelines to help me. Don't know if it's just trying to satisfy here or not, but the last point is interesting...

Ok seems like this thing is getting some steam up. Time to post I guess. Here’s the magnolia which has had a good day. 🌱
