More Vintage Computing museums should rent out cloud access to their rare hardware.
SDF (Super Dimension Fortress) does it, and it’s freaking awesome.
I’m literally logged into a Sun SPARCstation…anyone can do this for free, right now. Just SSH in.
I’m one “I vibe coded my own MacOS menu bar app to track my Claude Code usage” post away from fucking losing it.
the woke companies making woke AIs which are also the best performing is proof that god finds all of this very funny

Please get me off the “my pet just died” algo. I promise I’m already depressed enough.
Okay so here’s my actual Bluesky-is-dying hypothesis:
The entire web is dying. Users aren’t going from BlueSky to another site (x/insta/threada/tiktok). Users are going to chatbots.
I know traffic to news sites has cratered (like 90%). My hunch is traffic to all the social platforms is down too.
Claude Code is now open source!!!
just kidding, Anthropic accidentally leaked the source and this guy put it up on github within an hour

Okay folks I've responded to the data center heat island paper. It is the worst study on AI and the environment I've ever read, by far. Thank you to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for flagging. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...
smoke em if ya got em
This bot is my new favorite thing now.
If you are thirsty, it is because of AI.
Deep in their subterranean token manufactories the AI men are using fresh, clear, cool water to fuel their insatiable anti-water reactors and power their many sentence machines.
Remember: AI destroys water. Fear the AI.
street reporter who interviews people who 'hate ai' (they hate 2023 era stable diffusion culture war slop) where you claude code an idea with them on the street with a laptop
You’re never getting an edit button btw
free blocklist of unhinged antis in the replies/quotes. i'm so tired of the performative outrage about ai. you can simply not use this if you don't want to and stop projecting misery at others.
excuse me??
These people are like evangelical Christians with an even worse information diet
Bluesky’s new app Attie uses AI to help people build custom feeds the open social networking protocol atproto.
As well as referring to Mythos, the draft blog post also discussed a new tier of AI models that it says will be called "Capybara". In the document, Anthropic says: "Capybara' is a new name for a new tier of model: larger and more intelligent than our Opus models-which were, until now, our most powerful." Capybara and Mythos appear to refer to the same underlying model. Currently, Anthropic markets each of its models in three different sizes: the largest and most capable model versions are branded Opus, while a slightly faster and cheaper, but less capable, versions are branded Sonnet, and the smallest, cheapest, and fastest are called Haiku. However, in the blog post, Anthropic describes Capybara as a new tier of model that is even larger and more capable than Opus, but also more expensive. "Compared to our previous best model, Claude Opus 4.6, Capybara gets dramatically higher scores on tests of software coding, academic reasoning, and cybersecurity, among others," the company said in the blog. The document also said the company had completed training "Claude Mythos," which the draft blog post described as "by far the most powerful Al model we've ever developed." In response to questions about the draft blog post, the company acknowledged training and testing a new model. "We're developing a general purpose model with meaningful advances in reasoning, coding, and cybersecurity," an Anthropic spokesperson said. "Given the strength of its capabilities, we're being deliberate about how we release it. As is standard practice across the industry, we're working with a small group of early access customers to test the model. We consider this model a step change and the most capable we've built to date."
tl;dr new Claude models coming, probably Claude 5
1. Mythos is a new fourth tier, larger than Opus
2. Mythos & Capybara are the same model, probably different purposes
3. new Opus, Sonnet & Haiku distilled from Mythos
4. limited availability for Mythos
5. danger danger

"The $30tn US Treasury market is showing growing signs of strain, as turmoil in the Middle East drives swings in bonds that underpin the financial system. The ease of trading in the world’s biggest and most important financial market has deteriorated in recent weeks"

NASA's Artemis II Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft, secured to the mobile launcher, are seen as they made the 4.2 mile journey toward Launch Pad 39B, Friday, March 20, 2026, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The orange core stage of the rocket stands in between two white solid rocket boosters and is topped with the white Orion spacecraft. The rocket and spacecraft stand to the left of the trussed structure of the mobile launcher. The sky is a soft blue color in the background. Birds can be seen flying near the base of the rocket.

ARTEMIS II (hopefully) LAUNCHES NEXT WEEK!!! 🚀🌕
WHO’S EXCITED!!!
"On this day 14 years ago, an anonymous 4chan user posted a RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 thread showing a 30,696-foot coaster that took four in-game years to finish, complete with riders screaming 'I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride' and a looping exit where a sign reads 'the ride never ends.'"
In the Empire, mages may legally purchase corpses and souls for philosophical research, and may do with them as they wish in private.
If you're a trauma survivor, you probably have lots of practice creating whole other worlds-- compete w/ whole other versions of yourself-- inside you.
We're real good at creating "escape hatches"-- which is also why books, movies, & shows often resonate so powerfully w/ us.
