TIL: Setting a custom price for a model in AgentsView

I've been really enjoying AgentsView by Wes McKinney as a tool for exploring my token usage across different coding agents running on my laptop.

Claude Fable 5 came out today and wasn't yet included in the pricing database AgentsView uses. I used Fable to reverse-engineer AgentsView and figured out this recipe for setting custom prices.

Here's my Claude Fable 5 usage for today so far, plotted by AgentsView as a treemap across my different local projects:

My favorite Apple updates are not the flashy new features, but the quiet little touches: annoyances fixed, workflows made smoother, rough edges sanded down, and longstanding flaws thoughtfully reworked. To me, they’re the clearest sign of a company that cares about its craft.

Here’s a collection from a WWDC26 screen-grab, organized for easier reading, on improvements coming later this year.

That’s a lot of bullet points.

Anthropic has launched a streaming music video on YouTube for “thinking and building” called Claude FM. “Made and curated by musicians.”

CrankGPT. “Just a hand crank, a little computer, and a small stack of speech and language models running locally. Provided the electronics are kept dry and at a reasonable temperature, there’s no reason this thing won’t still work in a thousand years.”

The show of pieces from the Tia Collection opening next week at Yorkshire Sculpture Park features nearly 70 works by 38 artists.

On the Difference Between Rest and Idleness. “The wellness industry loves rest [because] rest can be sold, because rest promises a return.” But: “[Idleness] does not promise to make you better at anything. It offers no return on investment.”

In this interview, I sit down with Rush's new touring drummer Anika Nilles. We discuss the world tour, how she got started, and the pressure of filling in for one of rock's most iconic drummers: Neil Peart.

I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref).

If you can make it in person, you should come. The California Theater is a beautiful big theater and tickets are still available.

You can also watch tonight’s show in live stereoscopic immersive in the Theater app from Sandwich Vision on Vision Pro. A purchase of the ticket to the live show, the Theater app for $12.99, is also good for replay forever — with surprise bonus features included. It’s a fun, truly immersive way to experience the show.

Hope to see you there tonight, one way or the other.

I (weirdly?) love Amy Casey’s paintings of buildings in peril — being swallowed by the sea, being flung into the sky by wind. There’s an element of the Kowloon Walled City to Casey’s work, as well as Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (specifically the tomato tornado). (via colossal) Tags: Amy Casey · architecture · art

Everything Wrong With the 2026 World Cup. “By far the most grave of those is a World Cup host starting a war against one of the participant nations, as happened with the USA’s attack on Iran at the end of February.”

A brisk 76 minutes, including the post-credits Easter egg music video. The past few years ran about a half hour longer.

Yesterday, Ollie and I hiked up to Delta Lake (via Lupine Meadows Access) in Grand Teton National Park. It was perhaps a bit aggressive given my current lack of fitness, my non-acclimation to the altitude (we topped out at 9000’), and the rock scrambling we had to do near the top, but we were rewarded with one of the best views I’ve ever seen.

That’s the Grand Teton (13,775’) in the background. The lake was so enchantingly blue…the photos don’t do it justice. I shared a few more photos from the hike on Instagram.
