Did Anthropic Ask For This?
This past Friday, the US Government issued an export control directive that prohibits Anthropic from giving foreign nationals access to Claude Fable or Claude Mythos, their latest models.
Aim for no
An ability of successful people is their willingness to aim high, get rejected, and keep going.
The $75 Billion Bell
SpaceX rang the largest IPO bell in American history. Folk wisdom says it marks the top. The history is more conditional, and the one clean miss tells you why.
I thought that of all of the goals of my European migration journey, Kagi would be the easiest. I believed there to be no alternative, so I could just shrug ...
I need to tell you something. Please listen and try not to panic. You've been in a coma for quite some time. Yes, yes, I know, you would like to know how long. I'm afraid it's been... nine...
The fertile void
If I'm not being seen in motion, who am I seen as? Am I being lazy? If there is no immediate next mountain, what story do I tell?
For Retired Engineers…
I know I’m not the only one to have noticed the fact that many- indeed most – such correspondents are Electrical Engineers (usually retired). I was delighted therefore to see that there…
No, everyone is not using AI for everything.
People are consuming AI like they eat meat: some are embracing it, some are limiting their use of it, and some are avoiding it altogether.
(This is based on a talk I gave at the Oxford Union.)
ReactOS, the open-source operating system working for binary compatibility with Microsoft Windows computer programs and drivers, has reached the milestone of being able to enjoy the classic game Half-Life running on this open-source platform.

Reference #18.520ed217.1781420543.392625fd
There are three ways to do AI coding at home without spending like a company, and which one fits depends mostly on how much you trust the next year of hardwa...
Human Routers of Machine Words
On people who use AI to think.
Every time a smarter AI model lands, run it over all your projects. I keep telling people that. Then I got three days of Fable, and didn't.
Project Repository: https://github.com/workofart/harness-experiment So I recently wanted to see whether an AI agent could self-improve a harness to solve terminal bench tasks. To align on the definitions, “harness” means the system (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Ch…

What a great day for Anthropic
While there are a lot of you-had-it-comings, the export ban is kind of great for Anthropic
The Hype Hangover Kicks In
We said we'd build with it. We are. And now we're terrified of what we built.
Rethinking monorepos in the age of agents
As the industry switches to agentic coding, it makes less and less sense to keep separate repositories when agents benefit from the broader context of a monorepo.
In 1994 I got my first computer: an Intel i486 DX2-66 with 4 MB RAM and a 512MB harddisk. The software was IBMs OS/2 and Microsofts Windows 3.11. In the next four years I was upgrading this machine every few months with more RAM (up to 16MB), a CD-ROM-drive an…
Pelican, or pelican't? A hint at Claude evals
I’m a big fan and frequent user of Claude’s deep research feature, so it caught my eye when the task title from my research subagent was a bit longer than usual. I’d asked about WWI causes and got the research title “Causes of WWI research disabled warnings ab…
Loop Engineering
You don't really need to be good at prompting anymore. The thing to get good at is the loop that does the prompting for you. It's five building blocks plus s...
Labor is a market distortion, We Need VAT and UBI - Wilsons Blog
There is a pretty serious gap in how the economy functions right now, has been for decades, and we have to close it. I’m not here to be all “tax the rich” even though I maybe think that’s a good idea too. I’m not here to say “free markets are amazing” even tho…

Isolation Is the New Runtime — Cyrus Radfar
Sandboxing is thirty years old and has barely changed. What changed is who's in the box: an agent that reads its next instruction off the open internet and can't tell a command from a trap, which is why the OS is reorganizing around it. A line from chroot in 1…
