More breathless, but vague praise for #Mythos. Now #mozilla's CTO has come out with a detail-free, hyperbole-laden blog post.

I can't get anything below the surface level on this blog post. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

• The blog post itself contains no links or references (except a link to a prior blog post)
• The Firefox 150 release notes has zero mentions of #Claude, #Anthropic, or Mythos.
• The security advisories in Firefox 150 lists 41 bugs
  • Anthropic is credited exactly 3 times.
  • The blog post says This week’s release of Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluation
  • it is not clear why the blog says 271, the release lists 41 issues, and only 3 acknowledge Anthropic
• I've tried looking on Mozilla's bugzilla and I have no access to any bug that is named in those release notes. I can't even see the conversation, much less the code change.

How is someone supposed to put this blog post's claims into context?

Mastodon servers can optionally be run in "limited federation mode", also known as "allowlist mode" or "isolated mode".

In that mode the server doesn't communicate at all with any other servers, unless the admin has specifically added a server to their "allowlist".

Isolated servers are much safer but less busy, and generally created by admins who want to make a private network rather than be part of a larger social network. More info at:

and like they're pretty sure it knows better than the experts anyway.

"people are stupid" "people are insane" "we deserve this" "we aren't fit to govern ourselves" - these are the worst parts of yourself talking. it doesn't lead anywhere useful or good.
despair is understandable. but what you say on a public forum is what you are adding to the world.
some days we can't give our best. but it's always possible to avoid giving your worst.

what happened to that high speed train terminal? they forgot to build it.

as mistakes go in a plan designed around high speed trains, that seems like a fairly big one.

This _seems_ bananas, but you have to appreciate Microsoft's central role in computing as a _consumer of excess capacity_ that only incidentally produces useful outputs. That is to say, the classic cycle of the computing _economy_ has been that chipmakers, mostly Intel, build faster machines, then Windows and Office grow to soak up that excess capacity, driving demand for yet faster hardware. But... there's a plausible need in that cycle for Windows, Word, etc.

With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!

Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time
