"Computah, connect to my Google TV streamer and debloat this thing for me."
Screenshot of a Codex terminal session connected by ADB to a Google TV Streamer running Android 14. The session shows a debloating plan to inventory installed packages, save the current device state, identify protected system components, disable only agreed low-risk packages, and then verify playback, casting, remote control, updates, and rollback. The terminal is currently listing installed packages and system configuration while the device remains unchanged.

Thin curved grid lines and four colored horizontal bars decorate the dark background.

codex is a much better deal per dollar than claude code running fable 5, which burns tokens like crazy. i prefer to run fable as an overseers and route the most of the heavy code review to codex to keep my anthropic limits in check

here's what my setup looks like codex.amditis.tech
Field-guide-style banner on a pale green background. A header bar reads 'Field guide — Codex code review' at left and 'Trail CR-01 · in daily use' at right. The serif headline 'The Codex review setup I run' has 'I run' in rust orange, above a subhead: 'How mine compares to the viral codex-plugin-cc post, for engineers and for everyone.' A circular stamp at top right reads 'Field-tested, in daily use, 2026,' and a row of illustrated cattails runs along the bottom.

Happy (and kinda scared) to report that the first week of the four-week MOOC I'm teaching on behalf of @knightcenterut.bsky.social is complete, and the total number of participants came out to 3,479 students! 😨
Educational webpage showing the "Prompt Engineering 101 for Journalists" course interface. The page displays navigation tabs including Course, Participants (selected), Grades, Reports, Competencies, and More. Below is the enrolled users section with filtering options and a count showing 3479 participants found.

Congressman Jared Moskowitz gestures animatedly while holding up a printed tweet. The tweet, from user "crisp mattman" dated January 20, 2017, reads "This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history." A nameplate reading "MR. MOSKOWITZ" is visible on the desk in front of him.

Really pleased with how this year's annual report design came out in the end!

www.canva.com/design/DAGcG...
A collage of diverse people engaged in collaborative activities, such as discussions, writing on sticky notes, and taking photos, is overlaid with bold text reading "Annual Report 2024." The bottom text identifies the organization as the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair State University’s School of Communication and Media. The image conveys a sense of teamwork and community. A report page titled "NJ News Ecosystem Highlights" discusses changes in New Jersey’s local news industry, including legislative updates, print closures, and new funding sources. A collage at the top spells out "Journalism" using cut-out letters. Below, photos show journalists taking notes and a woman speaking into a microphone at a formal event. A page from the report highlights the "Civic Science Reporting Fellowship." The text discusses grants supporting civic science journalism, the appointment of Catherine Devine as a Civic Science Fellow, and her research on media collaborations. At the bottom, an image of a blue publication titled Civic Science, Vol. 1 is shown with a QR code linking to more information. A silhouetted figure wearing a beret and a jacket stands with arms raised in front of a large window, creating a dynamic and celebratory pose. The background shows an indoor setting with other people partially visible. Overlaid text credits the report design to Joe Amditis and identifies the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair State University’s School of Communication and Media.
