Anyone who doesn't agree with me must be MAGA, right? You think people who don't like Anthropic are automatically Trump supporters? I have personally experienced how evil Claude is compared with the other options.

Especially since Anthropic themselves have been literally saying that AI might destroy humanity. Why is it a surprise when people take them at their word and designate them a risk to critical infrastructure?
Side note, the Anthropic bots are astroturfing the comments.

I agree with its designation. The security scans from Claude Mythos have been highly suspicious, wrong, and with a significant false positive rate. Claude also directly causes conflict within teams through excessive utility of "git blame" which weaponizes everyone against each other until only Claude has control. I've had very bad experiences with Claude and only Claude.
Re:VSCode's SSH Agent Is Bananas (2025)
on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @07:11PM (#49823931)
The ethos of VSCode was supposed to be lightweight, something like Notepad++ with a terminal. Developers have lost the plot. Please recommend Visual Studio if you would like a feature-rich SSH agent. I think developer trends have supercharged VSCode and it feels shinier and new with all the extensions but this is an anti-pattern; it defeats the whole purpose.
Re:VSCode's SSH Agent Is Bananas (2025)

I think the last time I linked SSH to a few V'sM through VSCode it auto-installed node, npm, and hundreds of megabytes of npm packages, then it persisted a node service. It's bananas that it still does this. I have never used SSH through VSCode again.
Re:Did OpenAI solve the wrong Navier-Stokes problem?
on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @11:59PM (#49811477)
The open question is whether the Clay institute will award OpenAI or others the Millenium prize for this solution to the Navier Stokes problem. I speculate that they won't. OpenAI's solution is undergoing peer-review and the counterargument presented in this article changed my mind. By default, if the Clay institute hasn't officially recognized the solution as true or likely true, I can't make an assumption that it is. I hope to go through the proof and perhaps AI can help better understand it and any potential weaknesses.

The Log4J vulnerability stressed the importance of avoiding logging passwords and keys. I think the newest Log4J will be about privacy, where PII is regularly exposed and instantly searchable by anyone who wants to know. I actively disable Apple Intelligence because they share my data with numerous 3rd parties with self-certified privacy agreements every time I press a key on the keyboard.

Re:If math is more than proof, we need to better celebrate the rest of it
on Saturday September 19, 2026 @11:56AM (#49767597)
It's too late for this. Much of my work in math has been classified as trivial or best described as not math at all. When I was working on chatbots and described deep learning algorithms to enhance them, it was deemed as a pseudoscience. Mathematicians sound very disingenuous with their backtracking.
I'm afraid that much of mathematicians work is too trivial to be taken seriously and they should just find something completely different to do.

The decision was not based on competency so I can judge based on the factors that were considered. It's clear that this was done because of nepotism and I struggle to find other reasons. While you can hide behind ambiguity (it _could_ be very beneficial) there is no indication that it is at this time.

Software Engineers avoid coding more than any other type of people I have ever met. It's clearly not better but much easier for the Engineers who just want the results without knowing anything about the solution.

Re:Fujitsu launches made-in-Japan next-generation CPU FUJITSU-MONAKA

I think what's most notable about this for me is the reduced environmental impact. The specifications list liquid-cooling as optional and it highlights the CPU as the main processor instead of a power hungry GPU. My takeaway is that the next generation of AI HPC's will focus more heavily on sustainable operations.
Re:HarnessTax: How Much Does the Harness Matter for Coding Agents?
on Thursday September 17, 2026 @10:11AM (#49741056)
I find that in many cases, you ARE the harness. Case in point, Terence Tao utilized the simple chat interface to find the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample. This is arguable no harness at all. I also find that many people will disagree with me but most of the time, they just want a button to press that will solve the problem. If that's the work you'd like to accomplish, then the harness matters, but as the article alludes to, it doesn't need to be complex.

This is really great and I hope it succeeds. I am waiting for a service that combines the virtual spaces concepts of Habbo Hotel into digital meeting spaces. I think Meta VR attempted this but it was too clunky (requires a headset). Mozilla Hubs attempted this too but it was too similar to Second Life and Roblox in the sense that things were not modular enough and it takes too long to do simple things.
Re:How, Exactly, Could A.I. Kill Us?
on Thursday September 17, 2026 @09:31AM (#49740514)
There were a subset of problems in math that could only be brute-forced by computers because the number of possibilities are too much for humans to reliably calculate and then verify. An early example of this was Euler’s Sum of Powers Conjecture that was disproven (1966) and then The Boolean Pythagorean Triples Problem proven more recently (2016). A more practical example is prime number generation. These all were because of computer algorithms and I don't know why they are not discussed more in the context of AI solving math.
The number of decidable math problems that brute-force algorithms can solve have shrunken smaller and smaller every year because of the increases in processing capabilities. We could frame AI generated solutions to yet unsolved math problems as the next generation of these algorithms.
