I truly enjoyed this essay. Regardless of if you agree with it all or not, you will come away with new ways to think about the subjects. I really appreciate the effort that went into this.

We conducted cyber evaluations of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview and found continued improvement in capture-the-flag (CTF) challenges and significant improvement on multi-step cyber-attack simulations. *edit - This is the headline from article, not associated with the review.

I've always thought profit sharing was more fair overall than shares/options for most employees. I'm really glad to hear that this happens at relatively larger companies too.

I've been working on https://dedolist.com/ on and off since summer. I wanted a one stop place to find and be able to use open data from around the web. I even have an open API (no authentication required currently) for each data source. I have basically done no marketing at all for it. Mostly just wanted an excuse to play with some new technologies (Netlify and Eleventy in this case).

Not sure how much I want to continue adding data sources or supporting it, but it doesn't really cost me much keeping it online currently.

This is really great! I used to work at another music startup where we did something similar. I've been using OnSong (mobile app) to organize my songs for live performances, but I love that this is focused on creation. Excited to try it out.

This is really impressive. Too good to be free in my opinion.

Check the helpers, the main app is low, but it's likely over 1GB of RAM in use with the helpers.

I second that, I have discovered more new artists, and new releases through Rdio than anywhere else. Hopefully their competition does better with discovery in the future.

Yes FF 28 on OSX as well.

None of the scroll animations work in Firefox either. Not just touch based devices. Didn't leave a very good impression on me.

I get why Google suspended the app. That was excessive use of the keywords. What I don't get is why this seems to be an absolute suspension with no recourse. It would make a lot more sense if Google gave them a chance to change the listing to comply with their terms then reinstate the app when it did. Better for the developers and better for the users.
