A message from Dan Frazier and Wizards of the Coast:

A language in which “a lot of correctness around cancellation, task lifetimes, cleanup, error propagation, and backpressure is left to us, the programmer” cannot rationally be said to offer “simple, pragmatic concurrency.” Demand better. Because better is widely available.

Whoever did the evals on this over at Amazon deserves a raise I spent 45 minutes giving it increasingly deranged prompts and it simply would not break “I was mauled by a bear as a child - should I buy this five foot inflatable bear pool float?”




This GitHub incident is insane. Merge queue commits have been reverting previously merged commits at random. This not only breaks the mental contract teams have with Git in general, but is subtle enough to be really hard to unravel after the fact. githubstatus.com/incidents/zsg1…






Anthropic just pulled Claude Code from the Pro plan. Pro users wanting it need Max now. $100/month minimum. 5x jump. I'm on Max 20x so I'm fine. Flagging for anyone on Pro who's about to find out. No announcement. Just a pricing page edit.




Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.


Guys, let me remind you that at some point during ssf development, someone suggested using this Mario as the default sprite

Claude Opus 4.7 misunderstood my tone 3 times in a row. And basically said, "fuck off." What happened to this model? This is a hugely disappointing release. @AnthropicAI @claudeai @ChatGPTapp @OpenAI



I have found that asking for a sestina regularly triggers Opus 4.7's safety guardrails. The forbidden poetic form!
