One of my Claude Code-using colleagues had the most hilarious complaint about it today.

Again and again it hallucinates that its name is "Claire", and then tries to read its instructions from CLAIRE.md (instead of CLAUDE.md)

What a technology. The future is now.

an editor with whom i regularly work together recently suggested the term "sloppelgängers" for deepfakes, and i mean ... what stops us?

CANADIANs ...

If you have not come across this effort yet, or have not reviewed and signed on ... please take a moment and do so.

Bill C22 is as bad if not worse than it's predecessor attempt C-2, and the earlier implemented C-18 which had the exact opposite effect on Canadian online media presence than everyone (well, everyone but us already-federated folk) thought.

Consider that Signal Messenger has indicated it will withdraw access from us rather than compromise privacy. it's bad.

🚨 Bill C-22 would force every Canadian internet provider, messaging app, and cloud service to build surveillance backdoors & store a year of your private data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US — compromising up to a million people. Tell your MP: https://openmedia.org/StopC22-mast #BillC22 #cdnpoli @OpenMediaOrg

I saw something about supermarkets and some corporations trying out "dynamic pricing", where the price of something changes based on their estimation of what you might pay based on their surveillance of you.
So I'm going to announce my trial of "Dynamic payment", where I pay what I think a service is worth, based on my experience. Bad news for Apple TV, for a start. And Amazon Prime owes me money already.

🇨🇦's #BillC22 is entering committee study this week - and we're hearing it may become law by end of the month.

We never say this: but this is the worst, most privacy-breaking bill we've seen. It MUST be stopped.

Speak up against it and read on to learn more:

Do you want your computer to sound like an 80s #scifi device with lots of bleeps and bloops and swoops? Are you running #linux?

This is my recreation of an old program from nullsoft called 'beep' that does just that. The more stuff your computer is doing (cpu, mem, network, etc) the more it beeps and boops. Enjoy!

GitHub - jamestomasino/beep: beep is inspired by nullsoft beep and attempts to recreate that magic in Ada
