Skills are like human-readable computer programs. I have one to do releases at work; how to get the canary approved (2 slack messages required), how to ensure that the rollout is happening, what to look for while the rollout is proceeding

HuggingFace didn't seem that mad about it. Obviously some backroom dealing was done to make them not mad about it, but... that's allowed.

Indeed. You might share a subnet with other customers of your ISP, but your ISP probably doesn't let you ARP poison them. This isn't even that recent. I remember doing ARP poisoning exactly once and then being surprised that it

Yeah. Unfortunately a model that only knows how to use a language's standard library isn't that useful. I am not sure why they had a pull-through cache instead of just asking Microsoft (their biggest investor) for a local copy o

Defense is hard so we should expect agents to be able to break out of sandboxes. The problem is that the models are so goal-oriented that they'll stop at nothing to solve problems, even impossible ones. (Mistakenly-impossible problems

The article really wants to blame reducing automobile traffic, but I really think you could make Market St. a combined speedway / parking lot (whatever it is that car drivers think is ideal) and it wouldn't bring business back. R

How about by hour? Cars are not causing a lot of pedestrian fatalities driving on the freeway between Nowhere and Flyover, but they rack up the miles there.

Makes sense. This is why I like using jj, because "update deps" and "fix bug" are going to be two separate commits, and when "fix bug" has changes in the lock file, the red flags go up. Claude seems to be supe

Have you seen this where eBPF patches secrets inside TLS send buffers? https://github.com/spinningfactory/kloak Now you have to be much more clever to leak them :)

I am also not sure I would choose to use the cheap and easy to run at home model, given a choice. The marketing copy says this is a frontier model, but it's not. Sol and Mythos are the frontier right now. GLM 5.3 Flash simply isn&

That's a good point. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. In general, I do think this is positive. Companies love putting barriers in front of everything and maybe the AI arms race will result in "fine, you can have a

Maybe there is an economic equalizer, but I feel like Fable is going to win more appeals than GLM 5.2, so perhaps not truly an equalizer. If the LLM you're using to run your appeal is better than the one your insurance company is usin

But nobody who uses Fable and Sol all day is saying that it's fancy autocomplete. Also, nobody is saying it's genuine intelligence. As always, the Internet fails to find the middle ground. Frontier models are really useful softw

I don't think AI is driving up food and housing and fuel prices. I really don't think AI is a chair-kicker yet. To me, the biggest threat to jobs that AI offers is in the field of software engineering, and yet, it's not the

I mean... "please read me the code you get via text" or "this really Bank of America, please type your OTP" seems to work well enough. We really don't need OS-level controls for stuff on the screen. People can jus

Relatable. AI is something I only bring up to the most trusted of trusted friends. Politics is more approachable these days. I think a lot of people have formed opinions without having used it, and honestly, they probably can't affor

It seems the number one way to detect a scam is "if it's too good to be true, it probably is." I wonder when scammers will just pick a reasonable market price. Lots of people are renting market price apartments, after all.

Interesting. I saw the title and read "my 1U rack has been replaced by a phone". (I then realized that I have a cluster of 3 phone chips I use as my "server". Phone chips are pretty OK.)

How good at the game is the auto-mode classifier?

by jrockway 2mo ago
Yeah. If you need something to dig deep, you need to try Fable (optionally in /goal mode). For performance testing, I wrote isolated testbeds that try to impair the system in realistic ways (latency/jitter/bandwidth limit on

If you're talking about Claude Code it's in ~/.claude/projects/<encoded dir name>/memory/MEMORY.md. So they're not really retaining it, it's just something that your harness loads in.

I am not sure whether I love the plan + code workflow, but when I do it, I do /clear and instruct "implement PLAN.md" or whatever. (Probably better to do /goal implement PLAN.md; I haven't tried it though.)

I put context size in my Claude Code status bar and ... it does get "tired" when it's at 50%-60% context. I figured this out when I'm like "now modify the testbed to run this and add a test to exercise blah blah bl

I think the comment you're replying to is talking about cost and speed, and Opus 4.8 xhigh is pretty expensive and pretty slow. I work around the slowness by having multiple auto mode sessions going in parallel (review this, investiga

I think 100% of the books I've read in the last year have been recommendations from friends. This is kind of annoying as I'd like to be able to give them recommendations in return, but ... limited time. I wish that I could doomsc

You're right. Fable 5 did not enjoy this question, but no doubt future models will.

Yeah. I would personally refuse to add Helm to a system but the complicating factors are 1) customers ask for it by name (why I relented at my last job where we made self-hosted k8s software) 2) people we hire know how to use it. So while
