🚨 WARNING about StubHub 🚨 We purchased 4 FIFA World Cup tickets (France vs Senegal, MetLife Stadium June 16) for $2,189 back in December. Three days before the game, the seller "couldn't deliver." StubHub's so-called FanProtect Guarantee? When we clicked the link — ZERO replacement tickets available. The same seats are now listed at DOUBLE the price. Oh, and our $300 non-refundable parking pass? Gone. This is a deliberate bait-and-switch scheme and we're filing complaints with both the NJ and MD Attorney General. Do better @StubHub. #StubHub #FIFA #WorldCup #BaitAndSwitch #ConsumerFraud

56,000 tokens/sec at just 80 MHz. 🤯 I burned a full Transformer with KV cache into a custom chip. Designed gate by gate as a 100% digital integrated circuit. Prototyped on a FPGA. (No GPU. No CPU) Just pure digital silicon running @karpathy microGPT, spelling out names on a tiny LCD. This is GateGPT 👇

rscrypto now ships ECDSA (P-256/P-384) and it's been validated via BINSEC, dudct, manual checks for constant-time. It's leading the bench race against 'aws-lc-rs'. Update to v0.4.1 - you'll also see more perf wins around Ed25519, RSA, and Blake2/3.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time. Starting today, we’re rolling out the ability to save rate limit resets to use later. We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset:

Fable 5 surfaced exactly 0 critical/high bugs in rscrypto. Zero.

The most important tweet on Fable today.
I want to say a final thing about my Fable first reaction: I dedicated my life to programming and I'll use every innovation in the field, also to extract value and bring it to the local inference world, to Redis, and so forth. But:

It's so frustrating that the ONE engineer we all have grown to love and trust - @karpathy - is now working for the definition of 'evilcorp' in ML/AI.

Pure Rust crypto (RSA, Blake2/3, SHA 2/3, AEAD, Checksums, etc.) across Linux, Apple Silicon, WASM, and no_std. The wins/ties/losses against the industry leaders... Linux: 7024/2328/822 - 1.76x geomean MBP M1: 774/392/34 - 1.82x geomean. No C libs/FFI. Zero default deps. Constant-time validation via dudect BINSEC. Send me the crate you think is more performant - what should I benchmark next?

Honestly @Rabby_io, this is disgusting Before I even set up my wallet, you are sending my data to - your matomo instance - and just in case track me on Google Analytics - and to be really sure dump my data into Sentry I hereby kindly inform you that this is a breach of your Privacy Policy (yes, the one that you last looked at 5 years ago) and a gross violation of GDPR Articles 13 and 46. Please stop tracking me at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

PSA: If you used Claude Fable-5 today with memory turned on you just violated all your NDAs. Anthropic requires a 30 day retention policy including human review, and the memory feature (on by default) searches past chats for context, so sensitive historical chats get pulled in.

I think @AnthropicAI is massively overvalued.

I'm happy to say that rscrypto is now constant-time validated thanks to BINSEC, dudect, and good old fashion reading. If you're already using rscrypto - please update to v0.4.0 immediately. You're getting primitives validated for constant-time AND significant perf wins on X25519, Ed25519, Blake3, and RSA.

I don't expect any of you to give a shit, but I would like to share something with all of you. This is kind of a cautionary tale for younger person in my audience. For the love of God: DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH BENZODIAZEPINE. Like it was a plague, don't do Xanax, or Klonopin, or Valium, unless it is under strict medical supervision and you're well educated on the drug. When I was 18 I had severe anxiety. My anxiety was so extreme I was afraid to shower, put gas in my car, etc. Once I was so afraid to shower I didn't bathe for 8 months. My anxiety was debilitating. I was eventually given a narcotic called Klonopin. The doctor didn't warn me about the drug. Klonopin is an extremely effective anti-anxiety medication. It was like a breathe of fresh air. I was able to function. It saved my life. However, what the doctor DID NOT tell me is that Klonopin is like rat poison and is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I cannot stress this enough: INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. The long term effects of Benzodiazepine is catastrophic. General speaking, physicians only want you taking drugs like Klonopin for 90 days MAXIMUM. I've been taking it for over 15 years. My brain and body are both heavily dependent on the drug. If I don't have my Klonopin I physically cannot function. My arms shake, I get headaches, I get confused, I get overwhelming anxiety, I get physically sick, it is absolutely awful. It feels very similar to having the Influenza virus mixed with extreme sleep depravation mixed with being hung over. Additionally, whenever I told other physicians I take Klonopin I am treated like a drug addict and they scoff at me. Several times in the past, when in an Emergency Room or whatever, and I mention I take Klonopin, I've had doctors directly tell me, "Well, I'm not going to give you any Xanax", or "Why are you really here?". It's terrible and embarrassing. Anyway, to make a long story short I've decided to begin the journey of quiting the drug. I can't quit cold turkey, because it can kill you .. because it can cause death by stroke, heart attack, seizure, ... whatever. Instead I am working with my physician to slowly taper off the drug. I'm day five into a 25% reduction, which in some cases is fast, but I agreed to try it. I've had mild insomnia and mild irritability. Besides this though I'm doing pretty good. Once I've kept at this 25% reduction for about 8 weeks I will try to reduce by another 25%. Seriously though, don't fuck around Benzos like Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc. This shit will fuck you up bro

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026-06…

without specialization we wouldn’t have had Bletchley Park and we’d all be tweeting in German. Specialization is crucial for advancing humanity. Generalists can only get you so far. Both are crucial.
