Claude Opus 5.5 Video List Publishes 475 Prompts

The awesome-opus5-5-videos repository has published 475 Claude Opus 5.5 prompt files associated with generated videos, along with a data/videos.json index. Its practical consequence for developers is direct: the documented workflow is to copy a prompt into Claude Code, the Claude app or another agent running Opus 5.5, request a single HTML file, and record the rendered page. The README highlights 100 entries—one for each distinct prompt—split into 58 motion graphics, 16 explainers, 14 3D ...

How to Convert HEIC to PDF on Mac (Free, No Upload)

Sooner or later it happens: a landlord, an insurer, a school, or your accountant asks for "everything in one PDF," and the photos in question are iPhone HEIC files sitting on your Mac. macOS reads HEIC natively — which is nice — but turning a batch of them into a single clean PDF still takes a few deliberate steps. Here are your options, from built-in to best. Option 1: Preview (built in, free, offline) Preview is the unsung hero of macOS, and it handles this job without any extr...

The first four weeks of AI governance

Ask a company for the list of AI systems it runs and you get a procurement export: licensed tools, seat counts, renewal dates. It is an accurate answer to a question nobody asked. The marketing assistant somebody wired into the CRM through a no-code connector is not on it. Neither is the Python script an analyst wrote in March that calls a model API on a schedule and mails the output to four people. Neither is the AI feature in the helpdesk product bought in 2023, which the vendor switched on in...

Your AI programme looks better from where you are sitting

Second day of the AI summit in Barcelona, in a room with maybe two hundred people in it, a governance speaker asked how many of us had the authority to stop an AI system we oversee, not merely flag a concern about it. Nobody raised a hand. Then she sharpened it: " human in the loop " has become a checkbox, and the question worth asking is which human, with what authority. Every organization in that room would answer yes to a survey question about human oversight. The documentation exists. Som...

Agents Override: Local Harness in Heterogeneous Teams

Introduction The adoption of AI assistants directly in IDEs has changed the way we write software. Today, establishing an agents.md file in the root of the repository so that the artificial intelligence understands the rules is practically a standard. This concept has spread under various names: .cursorrules , .windsurfrules , or claude.md . However, as its use moves from the solo developer and scales to heterogeneous teams, a problem arises: infrastructure friction. Reason: mixing b...

Python Data Structures cheat sheets: when to use lists, sets, tuples and dictionaries.

A data structure is a way of organising information and the choice depends on use. The best data structure to use depends on how you intend to access and manipulate the data, as each structure has advantages and disadvantages for different operations.

Chapter 8 — Observe Pipeline Failures Without Turning UI Feedback into Control

Chapter 8 is a lab, not a fresh application. Start with the completed Chapter 7 filters-and-reducers checkpoint, then deliberately make one pipeline filter fail. The exercise shows how a FeatureCell™ can expose a finalized feature error while the UI remains an observer rather than a second source of pipeline authority. You will keep the Chapter 7 CRUD workflow, pure filter, and ordered reducers. The lab adds one intentional throwing filter, an errors() callback, and a global error respons...

Show HN: Rashomon – An independent execution record for AI coding agents

I have been working on Rashomon, an open-source execution recorder for AI coding agents. The basic idea is that the agent transcript is not ground truth. Rashomon keeps its own record of what happened and compares it against the agent’s account. For Claude Code, it records things like: * shell commands, exit codes, and whether they may have written files * tool calls and outcomes * test commands and their outcomes * subagent lifecycle and ordering * timestamps and parent/child relationships * ke...
