Agree - the 128GB Strix Halo is capable if you use LLMs as assistants , but it's not so good if you use LLMs as agents (or worse, agent teams/swarms) since all of the models that c…

I've always marveled at fines that are well below the culprit's proceeds. If you can drag out and minimize a fine, is it really a punishment or just a tax/cost of doing business? I…

I don't doubt that Claude Code is full of security holes (even with Mythos assistance) given its 100% vibecoded reputation, but this seems to be more an attempt to get Chinese user…

There are plenty of FAANG (and adjacent Big Tech and FAANG wannabe start ups) staffers that burn $10k/month or more on Claude tokens. Just ask around if you're in Silicon Valley. $…
