> nearly 30 students in CS 10 were caught cheating on take-home exams in spring 2026.

You'd have to be really lazy and disrespectful, to get caught cheating on a take-home exam...


I thought one of the advantages of Glasswing was that it could produce a PoC for you. Was it producing working PoC's?

The headwinds are way worse now, though. Oil is choked, war is brewing, and corruption is at an all-time high.

> an AI company that produces virtual fetish porn and makes money renting GPUs to Anthropic

Whatever Anthropic is paying is too much, since it means xAI will get to observe Anthropic's software, weights and operations in detail. It's probably contractually prohibited from doing so, but I doubt that would stop Musk, given what's at stake.


seems to be a well understood angle inside anthropic — colossus use expands subscriber capacity; training goes to aws/gcp

For what it's worth, I think anything selling energy or fertilizer which is not sourced from the Middle East is a pretty good bet right now. Depends on how the US/Iran conflict plays out, of course, but I'm not optimistic.

A: This has not happened yet. B: Are you actually optimistic that it won't?

That's a request for an opinion, not an emotion.


Run coding agents in a docker container with limited permissions. FWIW, I run it with

  --cap-drop=ALL
  --pids-limit=4096
  --runtime=runsc

If you're on Linux, you can also easily run it in bwrap to properly sandbox without running a full container

Or put it in a microvm using eg smolmachines.

I've never used smolmachines but I'm curious; why this over a container?

Containers are not security boundaries. Vulnerabilities in containers are much more common than in VMs.

Kernel-level isolation is a significant security differentiator, for starters.

https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm#comparison

shows a good comparison table.


Using runsc instead of runsc means that there's a hypervisor layer (gvisor, probably) in-between the kernel and the container userland

I run mine on their own machine, without root access.

Currently a Raspberry Pi 5

I am very pleased with it.

I'd need to see some transcripts of his conversations with coding agents, to believe this.

He was establishing the context of The current blog post. Very unlikely that he was doing it for Google juice.

Isn't society #1 going to outcompeted #2?


In the short term, probably.

In the long term, probably not.


They can do whatever they want. Their cultural output is completely and utterly uninteresting to me.
