--dangerously-skip-reading-code
3 min read
I concluded my previous post saying that it was irresponsible to assume that we won’t need to worry about reading and debugging our code anymore—to assume that whatever problem that pops up the LLMs will be able to fix for us. This felt irresponsible because, up until now, it has been the programmer’s job to understand and maintain the source code, as a proxy to understanding and maintaining the s...
BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork
6 min read
BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork, with the same networking binary black box in question today. Why are they willing to burn the goodwill over it? There's something most have sensed but never seen it all in one place, the five-law framework China built between 2017 and 2023 ⤵️ So maybe their hand is forced as their "network" is too valuable already? Each law ...
Microsoft reports AI is more expensive than paying human employees
3 min read
Firms today are pushing employees to use as much AI as possible to squeeze out the technology’s productivity gains. But that pressure is leading to cracks, and those cracks may be irreparable. Microsoft has reportedly begun canceling most of its direct Claude Code licenses, according to The Verge, instead moving engineers toward using GitHub Copilot CLI. That comes just six months after the firm f...
New rule requires most green-card applicants to apply from outside U.S.

The Trump administration Friday announced it would require most foreigners seeking green cards to apply from outside the United States, a shift in long-standing practice that immigration lawyers said could affect hundreds of thousands of people who file applications each year while living in America on temporary visas.

TikTok disproportionately served anti-Democratic videos during the 2024 election
6 min read
A recent study provides evidence that TikTok’s recommendation system tends to expose users to more conservative and anti-Democrat political content than liberal material. This ideological imbalance occurs regardless of a user’s initial political interests, suggesting that automation plays a significant role in modern information access. The research was published in the scientific journal Nature. ...
Don't just paste the AI at me

Don't quote the AI at me. If your reply starts with "Here's what Claude said:" or straight eight hundred words of unedited ChatGPT text, congratulations: you just proved your brain is a gizmo, Darwin would be proud. Please, don't reproduce. Here's what you just did Someone asked you a real question. They had context and all good intentions. They came to you specifically. You took their question, d...
AI keeps inventing fake cases. Lawyers keep citing them
6 min read
In April the Alabama Supreme Court sanctioned an attorney who had filed legal briefs laden with inaccurate citations generated by AI, including numerous references to cases that did not exist. After being informed he had cited a made-up precedent in one filing, the lawyer promised it wouldn’t happen again—but then cited “nonexistent cases at the end of the very next sentence,” as a justice noted i...

Anthropic's "Profitability" Swindle
11 min read
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal ran a story about how Anthropic is “about to have its first profitable quarter,” specifically an operating profit, or EBITDA profitability: Anthropic’s revenue is set to more than double to $10.9 billion in the second quarter, an explosive rate of growth that will help it turn an operating profit for the first time. … Anthropic generated $4.8 billion in sales in ...
A blueprint for formal verification of Apple corecrypto
1 min read
With the latest release of corecrypto, we’re publishing our implementations of quantum-secure ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms, along with the mathematical proofs we built to assure they are faithful to the FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 specifications. To advance the state of the art for assuring critical software, we're also publishing the formal verification libraries and tools that we created to achieve the strongest known correctness results for any widely-deployed production implementation of the relevant algorithms.
Open source Kanban desktop app that runs parallel agents on every card

Microsoft starts canceling Claude Code licenses
11 min read
Microsoft first started opening up access to Claude Code in December, inviting thousands of its own developers to use Anthropic’s AI coding tool daily. It was part of an effort to get project managers, designers, and other employees to experiment with coding for the first time, and sources tell me that Claude Code has proved very popular inside Microsoft over the past six months. Perhaps a little ...

You can no longer Google the word 'disregard'
1 min read
Earlier this week, Google rolled out a completely new Search experience, foregrounding AI summaries and kicking the traditional “ten blue links” far down the page. But the sheer scale of Google Search means there are lots of edge cases that the company doesn’t seem to have considered. For instance, this is what you’ll now get if you type the word “disregard” into Google Search. Google has been cat...
A Forth-inspired language for writing websites
2 min read
A Forth-inspired language for writing websites I don't remember where the idea came from, but I decided that it would be cool if I could write websites using a stack-based language. Something like this: : h1 ( s -- ) "<h1>" emit . "</h1>" emit ; "Hello, World!" h1 So I wrote Forge. I quickly built a library of word definitions that let me easily add microformats to the HTML: : post-content "Hello,...

A famous logic puzzle takes place on a mythical island divided between the knights, who never lie, and the knaves, who always do. A foreign traveller encounters a fork in the road: one way guarantees safe passage, the other certain death. A member of each tribe is present, though it isn’t clear which is which, and the traveller is granted only one question. The solution is well known: ask either o...
The Companies Cutting Headcount for AI Will Lose to the Ones Who Didn't

The current AI pricing was always going to go away
5 min read
The current AI pricing was always going to go away. It just doesn’t make sense. Microsoft canceled internal Claude Code licenses this week (for whatever reason, even if it’s because they integrated it), Uber blew its entire 2026 AI budget in four months, and GitHub is dropping flat-rate plans across its products. You’ll see the framing “the AI subsidy era is ending” which is a polite way of what e...

Microsoft Cancels Internal Anthropic Licenses As Shift To Token-Based AI Billing Blows Up Annual Budgets In Months

The enterprise AI gold rush hit a very expensive wall. Companies are realizing that giving thousands of employees unlimited access to advanced AI models is blowing through yearly budgets in a matter of months. Providers are moving away from predictable flat-rate fees, shifting to expensive token-based usage models that charge for every prompt and line of code generated. The shift toward token-base...

The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics

AI is killing the cheap smartphone The global memory crunch and the great repricing of consumer electronics One of the most remarkable things about the last few decades is how cheap computers have gotten. In 1985, if you were a reasonably affluent American, the best computer that you could afford was the IBM PC AT. The PC AT would cost you about $6,000—$19,400 in 2026 dollars—and thus represented ...
Using Kagi Search with Low Vision

When I was using a search engine to find resources for a class, I noticed that I was taking a lot more vision breaks and struggling with visual fatigue more often than before. A major reason for this was the visually cluttered search results page, which was filled with AI summaries, low-quality content, ads, auto-play content that ignored my device settings, and a condensed visual layout that made...

This blog has been running on a Digital Ocean VPS for over ten years. A machine hosted in New York City, running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. An LTS that hasn’t been in support for at least 5 years.

Spotify is hoping it can lend a hand in getting concert tickets to an artist’s biggest fans, as the streaming service revealed “Reserved” on Thursday during its investor day, a new feature that, as it sounds, sets aside tickets for premium subscribers so they have a better shot at buying them. “Getting concert tickets today can feel like a race you’re set up to lose,” Spotify wrote in a post on Th...
