Any good tips based on your experience here?

Have you done any math hacking with sol/astra or fable? It’s more fun than using them for coding. The models are great at the monotony, like constructing a Gröbner-basis, etc. But they’re all still absolutely awful at coming up with new ideas, new proof methods, or new constructive forms. So you spend all your time on coming up with novel hypotheses yourself and handing off the rote work to an agent.

It’s also quite fun to get instant results by finding isomorphisms into unfamiliar areas of mathematics that previously would’ve required some networking in order to build a collaborative relationship.

Anthropic has made a recent change that Claude Code will only bill extra usage for the print / non-interactive mode:

> Starting June 15, 2026, Claude Agent SDK and claude -p usage no longer counts toward your Claude plan’s usage limits. Your subscription usage limits stay the same and stay reserved for interactive use of Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude.

Isn't this expected if OpenAI models are going to be listed on AWS GovCloud as a part of the Anthropic / Hegseth fall-out?

My account is just a week apart from yours. Neocities is an excellent project btw, glad to see your passion for the web shine through it.

Talk to federal contractors about their experience with DOGE. They’re literally cancelling contracts and helping to their friends recapture the money as new federal contracts since the money needs to be spent anyway.

The congressional hearings over this are going to be excellent CSPAN viewing.

As someone in NLP who lived through this experience: there's something uniquely ironic and cruel about building the wave that washes yourself away.

45^2 = 2025

Happy perfect square year, everyone. The previous one was 1936 and the next one will be 2116.

The algorithm behind this has to be super fun

My guess is that they host a version of the model locally on the iPhone.

Do you have any examples of your prompts? I've found Opus to be vastly superior to ChatGPT for intricate tasks.
