So in updating my MacBook Neo review with some additional stress testing and thermal testing, I came across some interesting results that begged the question: “Can it run Claude?” If you’re a gamer, that probably triggers the old “Can it run Crysis?” reflex. For those who don’t remember (or weren’t there), Crysis was the 2007 PC game that became the de facto hardware torture test. If your rig could run Crysis, it could run anything. It was a rite of
Preface: I’m not really a Mac guy. But I have deep respect for what Apple has done with their silicon, and I’ve been following their CPU journey since the Motorola 68k days through PowerPC, the Intel transition, and now their in-house Apple Silicon. What they’ve accomplished in the last five years is genuinely remarkable. Apple is one of the few original tech companies that has survived and thrived over the decades while still staying in the consumer tech space. As
Meta just released Muse Spark, the first model from their new Superintelligence Labs. Along with it came a 20-benchmark comparison chart. The chart highlights every Muse Spark score in blue, which makes it look like Muse is leading across the board. The original Meta release table/graphic just highlighted their column and it made it seem almost as if they won every row… They did not win every test (far from it) so maybe the the table could use some actual
Who’s reading this blog, and what are they running? I pulled month of site visitor stats to find out. The Breakdown Here’s the operating system split across all visitors over the last month or so: Operating System Users Share Windows 12,292 53.6% iOS 3,846 16.8% macOS 3,732 16.3% Android 1,919 8.4% Linux 420 1.8% Chrome OS 53 0.2% Other / Unknown 677 2.9% Total: 22,939 users over 90 days. Windows Still Dominates, But Apple is a Third of the Audience
NoteTL;DR Summary: After buying the 32GB / 1TB Minisforum MS-01 from Newegg for $1,016.58 on February 8, 2026 and running it off-grid on solar in rural Missouri, I think it is one of the best Proxmox setups you can build if you care about low idle power, serious networking, and headless management. It has been rock solid and my trusty little box idles around 13W-35W while running Home Assistant, a solar poller, SearXNG, and Open WebUI. For current pricing Check
TL;DR: I ran the same 5 coding tasks through Claude Opus 4.6, OpenAI Codex CLI (gpt-5.3-codex), Google Gemini 2.5 Flash (sorry I did not have easy access to the newer models, but Gemma 4 was tested!), and two open-source models I ran locally: Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 3.5 35B. Claude’s code was the most production ready. Codex and Qwen tied for best code reviewer. Gemini was the cheapest. The open-source models scored A-, closing in on the paid tier.
TL;DR: Claude Code v2.1.89 added /buddy, a virtual pet companion in your terminal. Your buddy’s body is deterministically generated from your account, and the personality generates permanently the first time you hatch it. Preview yours first with npx any-buddy current, but install Bun before you do (if you don’t already have it) Is This an April Fools Joke? I first noticed /buddy the least trustworthy way possible, by seeing it appear in Claude Code’s slash-command autocomplete on April 1. 😜
Source Archive Summary and Risk Analysis via ChatGPT 5.4 Thinking: Prepared from the src/ tree only. This version intentionally omits the file-by-file appendix and instead highlights what is structurally important, surprising, or concerning. Scope analyzed: 1,902 files total, primarily TypeScript/TSX (.ts: 1,332; .tsx: 552). Largest areas: utils/ (564), components/ (389), commands/ (207), tools/ (184), services/ (130), hooks/ (104), ink/ (96). Overall impression: this is not a simple UI application. It is a full agentic CLI/runtime with shell execution, permission
TL;DR: OpenAI’s Codex CLI works best with Claude Code when you invoke it through MCP, not the command line. MCP calls return in about 3 seconds versus 13+ seconds for CLI on my dev environment, it avoids sandbox issues entirely, and keep everything inside your conversation. Here’s briefly how I set it up, tested various invocation methods, and landed on an optimized dual-AI workflow that works for my coding and research tasks. Why Codex When Claude Code Already Works?
