The Apple Network Server MacOS ROMs have resurfaced

The 1996 Apple Network Server was Apple's first true Unix-through-and-through server (the Apple Workgroup Server 95, actually a Quadra 950 with a special PDS card limited to A/UX, doesn't really count) and through a complex history came to run IBM's AIX as its native opera...

Sora might have a 'pervert' problem on its hands

Sora might have a 'pervert' problem on its hands Katie Notopoulos turned on the Sora 2 option where anyone can make a video featuring her cameo, and then: I found a stranger had made a video where I appeared pregnant. A quick look at the user's profile, and I saw that this ...

Claude, Teach Me Something

I’ve been experimenting with a new Claude workflow as an alternative to doom scrolling. It leverages what LLMs do best: non-determinism and text. I call it “Teach me something”.

Weekly Update 475

It was the Synthient threat data that ate most of my time this week, and it continues to do so now, the weekend after recording this video. Data like this is equal parts enormously damaging to victims and frustratingly noisy to process. I have to be confident enough that it&

Setting up a codebase for working with coding agents

Someone on Hacker News asked for tips on setting up a codebase to be more productive with AI coding tools. Here's my reply: Good automated tests which the coding agent can run. I love pytest for this - one of my projects has 1500 tests and Claude Code is really good at sele...

Everything Is Broken

Chris Coyier wrote about it. Now it’s my turn. Last week I’m flying home. My flight gets delayed in air, then lands late so I miss my connecting flight… [Skip over all the stuff about airline customer support, getting rebooked, etc.] It’s ~10pm and I’m stranded overnight. I ...

claude_code_docs_map.md

claude_code_docs_map.md Something I'm enjoying about Claude Code is that any time you ask it questions about itself it runs tool calls like these: In this case I'd asked it about its "hooks" feature. The claude_code_docs_map.md file is a neat Markdown index of all of their ...

Founders Over Funders. Inventors Over Investors.

I've been following tech news for decades, and one of the worst trends in the broader cultural conversation about technology — one that's markedly accelerated over the last decade — is the shift from talking about people who create tech to focusing on those who merely financ...

Code like a surgeon

A lot of people say AI will make us all “managers” or “editors”…but I think this is a dangerously incomplete view!

Personally, I’m trying to code like a surgeon.

Cloud Kootwijk: Alles hangt af van de verkiezingen

Na enige tijd weer een update: hoe gaat het met Cloud Kootwijk? En wat heeft dat met de verkiezingen te maken? tl;dr: Er zijn mensen op ministeries hard aan het schrijven over een Rijkscloud, maar er is geen geld. De politiek heeft er ondertussen ook geen aandacht voor, en de politieke partijen hebben hun succesvolle digitale kandidaten veelal op onverkiesbare plekken gezet. Als we niet opletten is er in de nieuwe Tweede Kamer ook geen aandacht meer voor Cloud Kootwijk.
