One very clever consequence of Anthropic's guarded release of the Mythos model is that they've kind of claimed the position of best in class here, and also positioned themselves as the responsible vendor in this space in one fell swoop.

Should be compulsory reading. Actually, now that I think about it, this would make a great interview question in the AI era: “what did you think of Soul of a new machine?”

Long term this could make Anthropic stronger. Not sucking at the government teat, but actually building and iterating to solve real problems that a broad swath of industry needs.

There is one scenario it would be good for. People running stock trading programs often need a better network and always on environment than they can get at home

One superpower I wish I had is the incredible summarizing into single sentences that you can see in the LLM web UIs when they automatically make a title for a discussion.

I wonder if there’s a way to train that ability.

"plucked out of my bum" sounds so much more sophisticated than “pulled out of my ass”

Optimizing for learning/iteration speed is a solid approach that applies just as much to software development.

Designers and product managers were showing Steve Jobs all the fancy things the new app for writing DVDs could do.

Steve Jobs stopped them, drew a square on the whiteboard and said “anything the user drags into this square gets written to the DVD” - that is taste!

This is a fine start for filesystem and network policies. But before I’m ever going to be comfortable with an OpenClaw-like thing running on my system on my behalf, I’m going to want policies at an application level as well - which emails can be read, sent, deleted. Same for calendar entries and instant messaging, etc.

So what’s the disease called when you have an uncompetitive domestic car industry?

Casually mentions “prompt injection detection” with zero explanation of how or within what limits, as if this is a solved problem.

New comment by JSR_FDED in ""whole civilization will die tonight""

JSR_FDED — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:05:17 +0000

Yes it’s a despicable regime, but wiping out a “whole civilization” implies all of the innocent people who have done nothing other than having had the misfortune of being born there.

Europeans already see the USA as no longer a trustworthy partner. Greenland, abandoning NATO, undermining Ukraine will do that.

Asians no longer see the USA as a viable alternative to China.

Canada and others talk about alliances between Middle Powers as the future.

The damage to America’s international reputation is devastating.

Pfff, this is nothing. The $20,000 Neo folds clothes much slower and comes with free remote operators.

JSR_FDED — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:44:25 +0000

Lua is very fast - even without the JIT it makes Python feel like wading through molasses.

Lua is so small and simple (but not simplistic) that you can keep it completely in your head. Even if you only get to work on your project once every weekend you won’t have to relearn half of it every time.

What is the exact threat being addressed here? If the proxy detects a sensitive key and then places it in a .env file, Claude code would pull the value from the env file and then still send it to Anthropic servers wouldn’t it?

I saw that kimi.com offers a cloud-based version of OpenClaw, using their Kimi2.5 frontier model. There’s also a “link to existing OpenClaw” option.

A friend of mine used this as motivation for switching to a used MacBook Air M1 (today he’d probably buy a Neo) - and started using Pages to write his papers s. He watched a bunch of YouTube videos and asked a lot of questions in Google every time he got stuck. A week later he’s a happy camper.

China has the most sophisticated grid in the world, and is spending $100B a year on expanding and upgrading. They have a uniquely high share generated by renewables. It runs 800kV and will go higher after the upgrade. The first Small Modular Reactor will come online this year. If you think that’s all just being built in random factories without standards you’re very much mistaken.
