Anthropic is disabling Fable and Mythos at the request of the US government. I don’t think this is “our model is so good you can’t have it” marketing, because Anthropic seems annoyed. They blog that there is confusion about the capability even compared to other models:

We have reviewed a report that we believe is the basis of the government’s directive and validated that the level of capability displayed there is widely available from other models (including OpenAI’s GPT-5.5), and is used every day by the defenders who keep systems safe.

There's an account on Mastodon containing a flow of gift articles.

Because Mastodon supports outbound RSS, you can subscribe to it in any RSS reader.

But the RSS is not very good. Have a look.

So I built a little app in my new scripting language, with the help of Claude, and boom now I can read the output of the mangled feed.

I don't know what is responsible, probably has something to do with the account, and something to do with how Mastodon. But the information is being communicated.

This is not finished, it needs some css and the normal structure of an HTML page. We will come back to it.

Casey Liss blogs about how AI can feel like a coworker:

I was struck; I was feeling something that was familiar, but distant. I felt like I had just worked together with a coworker to solve a technical problem. It felt like I was part of a team again.

I reworked our robots.txt parsing to be much better. In the process, I looked at a bunch of website’s robots.txt files… Blah. No wonder the Internet Archive gave up and now ignores it.

The definition of a “crawler” is increasingly debatable. A search engine? Yes. Bookmarking and archiving? Dunno.

Learned about the new gallery embed lexicon for Bluesky and updated Micro.blog to support it, for up to 10 photos per post. It’s working well. Good to see AT Protocol continue to improve. 👍

It appears that complaining about Elon Musk is not making him poorer. X also remains very popular. Whatever energy we’re putting into the fediverse and atmosphere, it’s not enough, or it’s not channeled in the right direction. I think there’s a lot to reflect on as a community and adjust.

Leaving #CSSday genuinely inspired (as in, I was inspired to whip out my laptop straight away and start programming some very cool CSS).

This livestream of workers taking Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center is hilarious. I didn’t realize the letters were so high up! Fame is fleeting. What is built can be unbuilt. 🇺🇸

John Cornyn talking about Trump:

He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster.

Wild example of Fable being relentlessly proactive on Simon Willison’s blog. I remember the first time I saw AI writing a little throw-away program to analyze something. Taken too far, it almost has the feel of paperclip maximizing… Achieve the goal at all costs.

Still on the waitlist for Siri AI. With mostly just developers right now, Apple only has a tiny fraction of the users they will have later this year. Maybe they should’ve spent a little more capex on data centers after all.

With the latest Inkwell for iOS update, we’ve now finished adding back most of the features that we had to remove to get 1.0 approved by Apple. 🙄

I want to keep my podcast subscriptions in a single OPML file so I can subscribe in three different clients using the same list.

I am using Claude Code to create a toolset that makes it easy to write internet scripts at the same high level as Frontier. I was looking for a little project it could do, and came up with this. I like Wikipedia, but I know it has trouble with transparency. In areas I kno...

This is a very handy playground for exploring the brand new masonry grid lanes layout.

One of the things that sucks about the tech industry is that the assumption is that creative work is done by employees. Imagine if music or movies worked like that. And the employees will resist the company working with individual outsiders, the equiv of musicians in this a...
