Anthropic released Fable 5.1 while Opus 5 was still new, making the company look on fire. Its recent commercial opened with an actual house on fire, so the joke is on us for not taking it seriously. Once more, the company claims its new model is outrageously exceptional. Yet vendor-drawn benchmark charts cannot tell us the true performance out in the field. They merely support the existing adage in the community: let the frontier model design the work, then let cheaper models grind.

Claude Max 20x Revealed as 8.5x
Claude Max 20x’s fine print has become the talk of the town, thanks to a viral tweet. Anthropic’s $200 plan does provide 20 times the Pro usage — but only inside each five-hour session. For the separate weekly limit, a proposed class-action complaint puts the upgrade over $100 Max 5x at 1.7 times, not four. Apply that multiplier to the advertised 5x baseline and Max 20x becomes 8.5x. Calling it “20x” is a euphemism.
Claude to Cut Claude Code Limit 17 Percent
Anthropic will cut weekly Claude Code limits by 17 percent on September 14. In the official tweet, the company announced it is “permanently raising standard weekly limits in Claude Code by 25%”, only to downplay the fact that it will replace the current 50% promotional increase. Existing subscribers will lose 16.7% of today’s capacity. In its defense, that 50% boost was temporary. Only, my workflow would not survive the upcoming cut, and community reports suggest many others would not either.
How to Skip All Claude Code Permission Prompts on VS Code
Continuing on from yesterday’s Claude Code piece, Anthropic provides an official extension for VS Code. In it, the command-line flags from yesterday do not parse as expected. Instead, the controls you’d want live in the extension’s own GUI settings page.
How to Skip All Claude Code Permission Prompts
In a more closely controlled environment with less risk, say, in a home lab of an enthusiast, the risk of Claude Code accidentally wiping the drive or destroying another repo is minimal. Not that it cannot happen, but a reasonable amount of backup or git versioning practice could mitigate most of the risks from accidental or non-malicious actions. In such a scenario, Claude asking for permissions only slows down making your idea come true.
Resurrecting Abandoned Projects with Vibe Coding
Open source projects always had a huge caveat in its system. If it’s too rigid and far too common, it is less likely to be given enough attention for maintenance until it breaks. If it’s too early in the development and quite niche, it is also less likely to be given enough attention. The projects I usually encounter and enjoy reading are usually in the later category. Coming from that very same niche, — that’s how I ended up googling for it — I understand the desire to come up with an algorithm. These abandoned projects never come to fruition,…
How to Prevent URL Stripping on Szurubooru
One of the platforms I didn’t anticipate I needed, but ultimately found myself pondering over were images DB. If it were personal or interpersonal photos, there are free and paid viewers, libraries, and management softwares available. If it were creating and catering new images, those exist for the professional illustrators. But neither particularly helps when the images in question are meant to be read and/or referenced. Szurubooru is one of these image board platform that could be the solution for personal uses. I am still in the process of doing a proper write-up on it.
How to Use Space Bar on Komga Web Viewer
There are two parts advantage of moving to web-based apps and platforms from my experience: one, web-based development seems to be more active (completely anecdotal), and two, web-based means I can come up with an add-on rather easily.
