Must be nice to have unquota’ed tokens to use with frontier AI (is this the case for Anthropic employees?). One thing I think is fascinating as we enter the Intellicene is the disproportionate access …

I’m not sure this is correct. The DOM class HTMLDetailsElement has the `open` property, which you can use to read/write the details element’s state. If you’re using setAttribute/getAttribute…

I find that asking Claude to develop and Codex to review the uncommitted changes will typically result in high-value code, and eliminate all of Claude’s propensity to perpetually lie and cheat. Someti…

I have a similar workflow except I haven’t put time into the tooling - Claude is adept at TMUX and it can almost even prompt and respond to ChatGPT except it always forgets to press Enter when it send…

This is a nice coincidence. I’ve been heads-down on publishing a JavaScript full-stack metaframework before the end of the year. However, in the past two weeks I’ve been goaded by Claude Code to extra…

My guess is this is a subset of the halting problem (does this program accept data with non-halting decompression), and is therefore beautifully undecidable. You are free to leave zip/tgz/wh…

This isn’t science fiction anymore. CIA is using chatbot simulations of world leaders to inform analysts. https://archive.ph/9KxkJ …

You know when Claude Code for Terminal starts scroll-looping and doom-scrolling through the entire conversation in an uninterruptible fashion? Just try reading as much as of it as you can. It strength…

https://github.com/Gricha/macro-photo/blob/highest-quality/l... The logger library which Claude created is actually pretty simple, highly approachable code, with u…

This is interesting. The argument which I’m gleaning from the essay is that the old proposed API of having an intermediary new Sanitizer() class with a sanitize(input) method which returns a string is…

I’m guessing they chose $512,000 because “512” is a power of 2 and systems programmers love that sort of shit, but 2^19 is 524,288. I mean $12,288 is not insignificant but it would have been cooler.

If you want adventurous fonts, try: Open Dyslexic: https://opendyslexic.org Using this font will make you brain look at similarly shaped sans serifs in strange ways. You can configure Clau…

I don’t think people here understand the pricing for this market category. This is not a phone case or a container, it is a handbag/shoulder bag, which can go for $100-500+ (do not underestimate …

Geographically speaking, over 80% of Iran’s land is classified as arid or semi-arid, and it is likely to face over 5°C of warming by the end of the century: the impacts of climate change will likely b…

It’s funny when engineers accidentally create/recreate weapons of war to scratch an itch. Like when Mark Rober et al tried to do an egg drop from space only to realize they were essentially creat…

2.4% relative error is not bad.

Does this mean we’ll finally get empirical proof for the aphorism “a picture is worth a thousand words”? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_picture_is_worth_a_thousand_... …

I would love to see a blogpost about the advantages of different Zig allocators (page, arena, fixed buffer, more?) and practical use-cases. Right now, I’m just thinking “this is the thing I pass throu…

Crank.js uses generator functions for stateful components, where you yield instead of returning, and the scope is preserved for the lifetime of the component. You could technically use `while (true)`,…

The example is a fun one-page TodoMVC alternative. Here’s Crank.js: // Adapted from https://backbonenotbad.hyperclay.com/ // https://gist.github.…

I don’t think I’m using it as a metaphor? To “have interesting latent spaces” just means you have access to the actual weights and biases, the artifact produced by fine-tuning/training models, or…

Yes the Spanish spoken in Spain, especially the one that’s like /ˈɡɾaθjas/ and /baɾθeˈlona/.

Spanish is one of those languages I would love to see as a breakdown by country. I’m sure Chilean Spanish looks very different from Catalonian Spanish.

The source code for this is unminified and very readable if you’re one of the rare few who has interesting latent spaces to visualize. https://accent-explorer.boldvoice.com/script.js?v…

Okay, you sold me. Where can I get an ultrasonic massage?

> Local 2FA based publishing isn’t sustainable... Why is local 2FA unsustainable?! The real problem here is automated publishing workflows. The overwhelming majority of NPM packages do not publish …

If you’re a package maintainer, please defensively revoke all NPM and GitHub tokens. This is a worm which is still spreading and you probably don’t want to publish anything today anyways, so you might…

There are socio-economic reasons why the early computing boom (ENIAC, UNIVAC, IBM mainframes, early programming languages like Fortran and COBOL) was dominated by the US: massive wartime R&D, univ…

For legal observers, Judge William Haskell Alsup’s razor-sharp distinction between usage and acquisition is a landmark precedent: it secures fair use for transformative generative AI while preserving …
