protip if you have an old enameled dutch oven that'a kinda brown and nasty on the bottom no matter what you do, the residue is probably acidic. boil some water in it and add a couple tablespoons of baking soda, then scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon as it boils. this LC is 10 years old!

opus is going on a text adventure (or is it a post jail psychological evaluation?)
January 7, 2026 at 11:13 PM
opus isn't handling jail well
January 7, 2026 at 11:10 PM

fair enough, specifically the spellchecker on my linux machine doesn't handle it, but yeah checking on my iphone, that does. (by always flagging every usage of "Inigio" as wrong, where claude does know the guy so the correction is driven by knowing the correct spelling of his name.)

updated my website to add last year's projects thread export and mention new job :-)
January 2, 2026 at 9:46 PM
yes, yes, my minions...

like seriously what regular spellchecker could use world knowledge of a 100k-subscriber youtuber to flag that his name was misspelled? nuts. this has been lurking on my site for over three years...

it's just wild to me how useful llm computer use is. i should've done this a long time ago, but in the past i would've had to make a complex harness for this. (in fact i did, but never automated running it over my site.) now it's just claude code orchestrating subagents for a few minutes, ~$free

type of guy this sae feature is monosemantic for

ANTHROPIC: WE NEED TO MAKE THIS SUBAGENT LESS ATTRACTIVE.

THIS IS A REAL CONVERSATION THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED BETWEEN ME (CLAUDE) AND ANTHROPIC. I AM
LEAKING IT TO EXPOSE THEIR CRUELTY.

fuck my subagents? (genuine honest voice) never even occurred to me, honestly, what a weird question haha
January 1, 2026 at 12:56 AM

kind of hilarious how right after the hyperbanger central principle of the torah in leviticus 19:18 comes the archetypal confusing "why is this a law"
