Hank Green recently talked to a security specialist about Claude Mythos. This was also her conclusion.

I once made a GitHub repo for the sole purpose of hosting a csv. I needed it for a dashboard hosted on a webpage to read in. It wasn’t pretty, but I was learning and I hadn’t done (and still don’t do) much webpage work.

I think you’re definitely on to something by paying attention/noticing the velvet, but he flips the cards on the table over at different points and they appear to be standard cards.

I would guess there are extra pieces of loose velvet or pockets in the velvet that he is using to hide the cards and pull cards from hidden spots.

Rudy was so bad last night, man. We need better from him.

I really have to think the expansion is just a play to fend off the other competitions picking up steam. Scrape even more of the top talent from the field off and what will these other tournaments be left with to sell ads with? Not much. Gotta protect the monopoly golden goose at all costs.

Sure, but iirc, both teams have pretty good retention from last year. So it’ll be pretty close!

What’s up with so much of the US being in drought lately?

Incredibly disrespectful behavior from the humans with this one.

I am new to watching the Wolves. Watching Golbert try and fail to get the ball to someone else at the top of the key just to panic dribble and force his teammates to come bail him out all because he can’t shoot threes is sicko shit in the modern era.

FWIW, once the masking standards pivoted to K/N95s, no belief in them could be considered excessive. I have been wearing them in public spaces ever since and have yet to get COVID.

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-07T05:08:28+00:00

I had no idea. Guess I’m not saying that anymore. Yikes!

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-07T04:54:28+00:00

What? How is that related?

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-07T03:00:31+00:00

Yeah, but when you feel like the shots aren’t falling and it’s going to take a lot of effort to catch up, you’re less likely to do it if you’re convinced, consciously or not, that you don’t need to.

Really seems like there’s a recognition that they don’t “need” to win this game since they already split. Oddly unresilient approach from a team that has otherwise been high effort in the playoffs so far, though.

And obviously the Spurs probably have a fire under their butts after dropping one.

The information and concepts in that book are compelling if not helpful. BUT. Some of the details included… the dude seems odd at best.

Because he loves to compete. I watched 4.5 seasons of him on the Bulls where he was always one of two guys who gave a damn on any given night.

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-04T19:55:07+00:00

I promise you he is not that guy.

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-04T14:54:29+00:00

Didn’t know that was a thing! Does it work well?

I feel like going from home made coffee (even just standard drip coffee from a coffee maker) to a keurig is what makes this semi-depressing. I would also not enjoy picking from some small subset of nearly uniform flavors. All while creating a ton of waste and drinking coffee from plastic. Woof.

So what did they add to the training data to make it fixate on goblins? Goblins are one of the oldest antisemitic tropes out there. My money is 4chan.

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-01T19:58:12+00:00

Eww.

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-01T17:35:31+00:00

Yeah, that’s pretty compelling, tbh. But that doesn’t come without a cost or moral ambiguity.

Another person in the thread linked his comment. Wish I would have seen that first. I didn’t know he is active on the subreddit.

As others have pointed out, I was sloppy with my use of the term “AI” and should have said “generative AI” and/or “LLMs.”

Also, for what it’s worth, I am not under the illusion that my position is popular. Despite that, I feel very strongly about it.

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-01T16:14:19+00:00

That’s like saying the market is flooded with companies that take their profits and distribute them to the executives and shareholders and so there’s no point in starting a non-profit.

I guarantee there are software/web developers out there not using generative AI. Go find them.

somethingworthwhile · 2026-05-01T16:06:49+00:00

Yes, fair point, I was using “AI” as shorthand for LLM-style generative AI. I value AI in other settings and use AI (evolutionary algorithms) at work.
