Introducing: The Rolleicord V

It's been around for quite some time. Over 70 years. But it is "new" to me, so... What I have here: the Rolleicord V (factory code K3C), made by Franke & Heidecke in Braunschweig, West Germany, very early in its production run, most likely late 1954....

Run an agent on each machine and let them argue

I ran one Claude Code session on my desktop and another on the Windows box in my basement, then let them coordinate a live Docker migration between them.

Anthropic tuned the cyber classifiers to block those requests, and their own testing shows Fable making almost no progress on offensive cyber tasks with the safeguards on.

Indy 500 Frequencies!

I've been scanning races at IMS for years, and every time I hand a scanner to someone new, it goes the same way. Three laps in they get it, and they want to know why they sat through so many races without one. From the grandstands, the 500 is a great show, but it's...
