Sometimes `/clear`ing your context window is not the best thing to do. Preserving useful context and deliberately NOT resetting can provide better output depending on your workflow. Beyond the Dumb Zone » ctx.ist/blog/2026-09...

When words lose meaning, the public speaking fairies guide you on the stage :) It’s a blur after the first 20 seconds anyway :D People don’t realize how much rehearsal goes into a 30-90 minute talk. Yeah, it’s smooth; because your efforts make it seem effortless. You’ll rock it, as usual 🐢⚡️.

I love working with charcoal. Charcoal Pine is one of my personal favorites, and many people own a print of it around the world. I love hearing from people who say something like, "I rented a cottage in the mountains and this was hanging on the wall!"

Doesn’t have to be accurate. The demand for sufficiently high quality intelligence at sufficiently low price is practically uncapped. And “sufficient” means different things to different people. So that part is partially solved. Thus, I don’t think this bubble will bust anytime soon.

New PicoIDE update on Crowd Supply! Injection mold samples! And announcing the Open Retro Storage Front Panel project, which explains why the samples say "BlueSCSI" instead of "PicoIDE." www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

I promised an update once I received the samples for the injection molded case, so now I’m happy to share what they look like!

I didn't have three weeks to modernize 30 year old C++. Getting the 90s codebase to compile without razzle, using modern C++, not to mention hidpi was the kind of undertaking that previously took a team. Not an exaggeration. I wanted to be able to release a version that actually still ran.

That’s “defense in depth” + “patch in realtime” Not sure how “down” feels like. I’d even prefer “protect your kernel with Ebipfhhh” :) Besides, shifting down does not negate protecting “up”; cuz it’s a layered cake + Swiss cheese platter we have waiting for an zero day influx of a leaf blower :)

Do they have any single clue about who “this guy” is :D That’s one of the reasons I prefer to change the world with a trusted group of like-minded friends, and don’t care about what the world says. Total energy vampire unsinkable rubber duckies they are!

I’m a neurological mess: I like change, I change everything; but I like stability. I like chaos, I enjoy chaos; but I like order. weird is good; I’m good with weird; but I like boringly normal. I depend on routines; but I intentionally break them. Dear ADHD, and Autisim: Can you get a room please!

Bsky is not logging in on mobile, and I'm too lazy to reauth. This limits me to the web version: Cannot be happier. 1. No stupid "would you like to enable notifications to pour more gasoline on your ADHD?" 2. No impulse to "just scroll." 3. total control. If I want to go to bsky, it's deliberate.

Not only Mythos. I have quite a few security enhancements I’ve found in various OSS projects just by running Claude Code in adversarial mode. Found a few areas to harden SPIKE even further too (it’s secure, but it can be more secure :) ) So expect upstream contributions from yours truly :D

Pentesting a site you own is a legitimate use case; I don’t think there’s much Anthropic can do other than displaying a warning and opting in every action.
