Ky @kynorthstar.me · 28/09/2026“We mustn’t delay 27.1β; our new phone was just announced and 27.1 will have support for it! Instead, the sensible thing is to release 27.2β first, THEN 27.1β with more features than 27.2β, and make 27.2β not support the new phone. Also the new phone isn't in stores for another month" 000

Ky @kynorthstar.me · 07/07/2026When @marcoarment.bsky.social expected that Claude Fable would be back within months and that was shortcutted to weeks, he then expected the July 7th deadline wasn't what it seemed; it might be back again soon thereafter... I felt there was good truth to that. Didn't expect it back THE NEXT DAY 🤣 000
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 02/07/2026Sad to see Anthropic go this route. I expect this of companies like Google or Meta or OpenAI, who are eager to build a surveillance state, but until now Anthropic has felt similar to Apple: focus on just making a good product and always consider the user. Oh well. www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy 000
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 24/06/2026QUERY really shines best with large requests, since those don't neatly fit in a URL query string, and POST isn't designed to be a "fetch this data" method. My example would probably fit just fine in a URL query string, but I figured it's still an easily-understood example that gets the point across 000

Why make a security program run another program that is so much less secure on every failed attempt? It was begging for exploitation.
