I think it’s tongue in cheek. When I first got access to Sonnet 4.5 I remember thinking to myself “y’know if they never got any better and I just had access to this forever then th…

Be cautious if you're using large databases on iOS. At least until fairly recently, iOS doesn't page dirty mmaped pages back to disk and after enough churn the app will OOM.

One day Quinn will retire and Apple had better have a succession plan.

I’m curious how a workplace ends up with a model policy like this. It seems like you’d spend more time trying to work out how to use a tiny number of Opus tokens than doing it your…

Alas. Loved his work on Major Stryker.

A low-risk way to dip your toes in is to email a blogger to say that you enjoyed their post or that you found it helpful. The message doesn’t have to have useful information in it,…

There are already on-device models that you can use through this framework as a developer. Claude would just be an additional one.

That's my initial experience, yes. It's hard to compare these things cleanly of course. I went through several new contexts on GPT and it just couldn't get traction -- it became ha…

Today I was a few hours into chasing down a very tricky timing-dependent bug with GPT 5.5 and we were starting to go into circles. I noticed Opus 4.8 had showed up in GitHub Copilo…

As one of those commenters on the previous post - yep, that theory appears to have been comprehensively trounced. Unless anything comes to light that mythos was applied poorly to c…

We will see. As for "testing that could have been done before", Mozilla's posts indicate otherwise. Use of Opus 4.6 led to 22 security-sensitive bugs vs Mythos' 271 ( https://blog.…

The question is how many security vulnerabilities are actually left in the code after all the recent AI attention. Either Mythos is a nothingburger, or it's substantially more powe…

Curl simply isn't a good data point. It's one of the most picked-over codebases in existence with extensive security testing practices. All the researchers using not-quite-Mythos m…

The answer is in the next sentence: "Bun owns its event loop and syscalls." They clearly want to manage their use of threads explicitly, which is not _unusual_ for systems programm…

Is the poster maybe confusing bandwidth (range of frequencies over which a single board can work) with bandwidth (data transfer speeds in bits per second)?

I saw this the other day and was pretty confused - I prefer to write my own commit messages and wondered if I’d accidentally let the AI do it this time. Nope, just MS changing thin…

I didn’t read this as a flex. More a rueful admission of his connection/addiction to GitHub.

It's a meaningful difference for SaaS. Most likely an attacker doesn't have access to your running binary let alone source code, and if they probe it like a pentester would it will…

Microsoft could tone it down a bit (especially all the full screen harassment after windows updates) but I wonder how many casual users have had their bacon saved precisely because…

It’s super hostile. I realised I was going to press it by accident eventually so I switched to Fossify Gallery before I did.

It doesn’t? I use the OneDrive app for scanning documents all the time. + button then “Capture”

I understand your pedantic point but let me give a realistic reply. If your account, or the account of somebody you like corresponding with, happens to be on an instance that falls…

Oof. Why can’t it just do its one job? My interest level in trying these agents has gone from lukewarm to zero.
