I'll check that out - I loved his "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography". Excellent introduction to cryptography.

I really liked her "Uncharted with Hannah Fry" podcast, sorry it ended.

FWIW, Cognition has all the Sonnet/Opus/Fable models, and all the GPT ones, as well as GLM, Kimi, and Gemini.

What "non-house" harnesses have you found to work best?

Interesting to see (roughly!) what percent of each car is engine.

I have this setup, roughly, with UTM rather than orbstack. I think I have it set up safely, curious how you see it has the wrong permissions?

Another way I'm "going slower" is to have the AI implement individual sub-steps of the current task, and review each one. It's slower than having it yolo out the whole thing, but i…

Yup, just like people!

Good!

Nope, not better quality if you don't like the smell of cigarettes.

Please add support for the Windsurf editor as well. Thanks!

Awesome, stealing that!

And they're clearly marked as `unsafe`, so easy to find, which gives them a nice list of issues to address.

I asked Claude to tell me why something was implemented the way it was, and got an excellent response. One data point, would love to hear more examples.

...it came as a surprise that [leaving a Petri dish out with a window open] would end up with interesting [molds] (called [penicillin]). _It was not planned at all_.

Well, to be fair, people cheat by remembering what they did last time. I think the idea here is to run the models from a "clean slate" and see how often they succeed/fail. They are…

Possibly because they just haven't been able to manufacture enough of them yet to be a viable business to others? They're fighting everyone else for foundry space and time.

But it's pretty cool that LLM bug hunting is pretty cheap... the 1-person projects can do it themselves, don't have to contract out to some huge security company.

Well, maybe not... see Simon Willison's ongoing reporting [0] on all the bug reports for `curl` people are finding with LLMs. Interesting to see them go from "DON'T GIVE US AI SLOP…

From the article: > As we noted at its September beta release, a windowed version of Tailscale’s macOS app doesn’t replace the menu bar app, but runs alongside it. It can be pulled…

Seconding Maple Mono - it's very nice.

Just out of curiosity, which version of Claude?

Good nerd stories, alas it was cancelled, so no new ones: - Uncharted with Hannah Fry Some great fiction: - Achewillow - horror, but not excessively horrible. - Desert Skies - humo…

Turns out the apps in /Application/ run as you. Problem (between keyboard and chair :-) solved.
