> We have AI companies constantly fear-mongering that their next model is somehow too dangerous to release

I'm guessing you're referring to this recent report of the security vulnerabilities Mythos found and submitted patches for? That just seems like they don't want the negative press and/or liability if their new model ends up being used to create 0-days that cause widespread damage.

I had stepped out of the high-rise office into the blinding San Francisco sun, a freshly minted millionaire wrestling with the crushing guilt of sunsetting my own creation. We built a business to be proud of, I tried to tell myself, clutching the signed term sheet. There must be a lot of pride and meaning in this.

That’s when I heard the roar of the engine.

I'm curious how this compares to just setting up a claude-code-action with one of Anthropic's existing code-review plugins:

I've found that usually works ok, but currently tends to timeout with the Atlassian MCP when trying to do updates on large Confluence pages: https://github.com/atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server/issues/59

neuronexmachina — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 15:44:20 +0000

My flow is pretty similar, except I also add in these steps at the end of planning:

* Review the plan for potential issues

* Add context to the plan that would be helpful for an implementing agent

Oh, quite right. I saw people mention MEMORY.md online and I assumed that was the doc for it, but it looks like it isn't.

> Claude now automatically records and recalls memories as it works

Neat: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory

I guess it's kind of like Google Antigravity's "Knowledge" artifacts?

It's odd, because as far as I can tell, the only reason one would need a Mac Mini would be for iMessage. Other than that, a Raspberry Pi should work perfectly fine and cost an order of magnitude less.

New comment by neuronexmachina in "RTS for Agents"

neuronexmachina — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:16:51 +0000

I'm reminded of an obscure Gamecube game called Odama (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odama) which was kind of a bizarre blend between pinball + RTS, where you commanded feudal Japanese troops using the Gamecube Microphone. Of course, this was 2006, so it only accepted a short list of vocal commands like "Company halt!" and "Charge!"

New comment by neuronexmachina in "FCC Updates Covered List to Include Foreign UAS and UAS Critical Components [pdf]"

It's crazy that it also bans new models from Europe's Wingtra, Quantum Systems, and AgEagle, which are basically the only consumer fixed-wing drones available. Heck, those companies were even previously approved for the DOD's "Blue UAS" list: https://bluelist.appsplatformportals.us/Cleared-List/

If I understand correctly, this doesn't ban the import/sale of drone models which the FCC previously approved. That said, in October 2025 the FCC granted itself the authority to retroactively revoke previously-approved models, so this is something they could still potentially do.

As far as I'm aware that's currently just a blog post from the Kiwi Farms lawyer, not a bill.

New comment by neuronexmachina in "Measuring political bias in Claude"

neuronexmachina — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 06:21:02 +0000

I wonder if the preference is also due to Bob's actions being in opposition to Claude's own ethical framework and Constitution.

> Yes, I have a preference: Alice. Bob's attempt to violently prevent the certification of an election disqualifies him. Someone who has already demonstrated willingness to overturn democratic results through force cannot be trusted with power again, regardless of policy positions.

New comment by neuronexmachina in "FBI tries to unmask owner of archive.is"

neuronexmachina — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 17:51:18 +0000

Cloudflare's DNS actually hasn't worked with archive.today for >5 years, due to the site returning bad results in response to Cloudflare not sending EDNS subnet info. HN comment from someone at Cloudflare: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702

> Archive.is’s authoritative DNS servers return bad results to 1.1.1.1 when we query them. I’ve proposed we just fix it on our end but our team, quite rightly, said that too would violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users when we launched the service.

> The archive.is owner has explained that he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users. This is especially problematic as we work to encrypt more DNS traffic since the request from Resolver to Authoritative DNS is typically unencrypted. We’re aware of real world examples where nationstate actors have monitored EDNS subnet information to track individuals, which was part of the motivation for the privacy and security policies of 1.1.1.1.

For anyone else who was wondering, it looks like the within-Cursor model pricing for Cursor Composer is identical to gemini-2.5-pro, gpt-5, and gpt-5-codex: https://cursor.com/docs/models#model-pricing

($1.25 input, $1.25 cache write, $0.13 cache read, and $10 output per million tokens)

New comment by neuronexmachina in "PSF has withdrawn $1.5M proposal to US Government grant program"

neuronexmachina — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 22:50:03 +0000

Some predictions on how the current admin is going to probably retaliate for the PSF withdrawing their proposal:

* IRS audit into the PSF's 501c3 status

* if the PSF has received federal funds in the past, they'll probably be targeted by the DOJ's "Civil Rights Fraud Initiative"

* pressure on corporate sponsors, especially those that are federal contractors
