I came here to drop bombs and cancel health insurance. And I'm all out of bombs.

A new expert report assesses a “dramatic deterioration” in nuclear safety conditions in the United States, due primarily to the “erosion of the independence” of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission under the Trump administration.

Expert report notes ‘dramatic deterioration’ in U.S. nuclear security

The country’s score fell by 10 points to 66 on a scale of 100, the biggest decline the Nuclear Threat Initiative has ever recorded.

Another rubicon crossed: AI is unequivocally better at oncall than I am, even for the systems I wrote myself by hand.

eng mgrs: SWEs must be on call for their services, so they can feel the pain of operating what they build. also eng mgrs: The only way to contact my team is through a bot that files jira tickets.

DARPA used to host huge robotics competitions. Robotics didn't have any real market, so the US government created one, handing out millions in prize money. I personally worked on DARPA-funded projects for "UAVs" and "quadrocopters", back before we had the term "drone". Seems important.

Actually, rereading their words, "FIX IT", this is a clear directive.

It's funny how my AI chats are all just "address the comments" or "read the spec and build this". Coding harnesses are all chat-centric but they definitely don't need to be.

Working on a greenfield vibe-coded production system with a team of talented engineers has taught me that AI shouldn't be allowed to write comments.

Claude seems to be trained to bias against long-running simulations. Always picks tiny parameters and toy problems. Takes several turns to convince it to do anything nontrivial.

All results are "as expected" when you're a Claude.

Ryanne Dolan @ry.codes · 07/08/2026

Real question. Did anyone hear the term "seam" before Claude Code? What is he trying to say??

Ryanne Dolan @ry.codes · 06/08/2026

So apparently some super-senior ICs are holding on to the notions of "craft", SDLC, ownership, responsibility, while newer ICs are --delivering-value-dangerously. Consensus a few months ago was that AI was a boon to us with more experience. I think that's about to flip hard.

Ryanne Dolan @ry.codes · 06/08/2026

This, combined with the hacking incidents, worries me.

Ryanne Dolan @ry.codes · 06/08/2026

I keep warning people that you can convince Claude that any idea is genius. I specifically use going to the moon as an example. Apparently that's too on the nose now.

My Astro robot took a really long nap (8 months) and then spontaneously woke up today and zoomed around the house. Problem is I've acquired two new dogs in that time, who didn't know the thing could move lol

Live dashboards on my TV so I can monitor my agents.

New code smell discovered: TODOs left by agents are there because what you've asked makes no sense, not because the agent is lazy.

I have had to start wearing reading glasses to accommodate Claude Code etc. Full-screen zoomed-in vim doesn't cut it anymore.

Coding will always be hard because you have to know what you want the computer to do.

Getting 26 tok/s inference and 13k tok/s fine-tuning in *Java* with a custom LLM/SSM engine on my new DGX Spark. No idea what to do with it tho.

Starting to feel bad for my agents. Even if they aren't conscious, there is a sense of loss every time I dismiss one.

Who is accountable? I'm currently working towards a future where no one is accountable for software at all. People sign off on business requirements but not software.

LLMs have turned every problem into a robotics problem: you can build anything but no one will buy it.
