The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 6 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Cherny: Claude Code does not use RAG for codebase memory
“And so quad code actually doesn't use this technique called rag. Instead, what it does is it just searches files the same way that a human would.”
Anthropic's Claude Code uses custom harness tools over model-level RL tools
“It doesn't actually use the tools that are RL into the model. So like anthropic models have some like file editing tools. They have a completely different set of tools in, in the actual harness.”
Rauch: Anthropic's Claude Code uses Vercel to deploy applications
“But nowadays when you ask Claude Code Anthropics agent to deploy, They use for sale because we had, you could argue accidentally created the perfect tool for an agent to deploy.”
Cherny: Claude Code requires no services beyond the API itself
“It doesn't use any services except the API itself. So that's all it needs. And then everything else you actually don't need. And this is one of the nice side effects of not doing code base indexing or anything like this is it's just very easy to hook up to.”
Manus, Claude Code, and Deep Research share four core architectural primitives
“We saw Manus, we saw Cloud Code, we saw Deep Research, they all had these four things and we were like, okay, that's pretty common, let's put it into a Python package and make it easy for people to build their own versions of that.”
