😂 Cool coincidence twitter put this on my feed. I actually worked on the team that did this (though not responsible for this fix). Launching MATLAB loaded hundreds of images and triggered hundreds of millions of unnecessary lookups (1/2)

There is no other way to enable this behaviour. You need to rename your binary to start with MATLAB. Also don't have any strong definitions overriding weak ones or bad things will happen github.com/apple-oss-distrib…

A reliable workaround: I now tell Codex that Claude found a bunch of bugs but I lost them so now Codex needs to fix them
Are there bugs that 6.1 Sol will fix without flagging for “cybersecurity”? In my experience it doesn’t like working on code that could possibly run on a computer somewhere, which is quite limiting

Semantic version numbers shouldn’t go below 1. Pick any library that spent significant time on 0.x: it would have been better if it started at 1.0 and bumped the major version as many times as needed And now you can just ask the clanker to find breaking changes

The Ukrainian biolab situation is much worse than we feared. UA biologists have penetrated thousands of kilometres into Russia and unleashed Russophobic microbes on the locals
🚨Breaking. There's been a pneumonic plague outbreak at a BSL-3 lab in Siberia, Russia.🚨 "Nearly 200 People Under Observation After Irkutsk Lab Worker Dies From Plague" - Moscow Times This is fact, and also the inciting incident in my book BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO, which is unnerving. Will post more as I learn more, including from Russian speaking sources🧵 shorturl.at/De4kW

I was concerned about Trump using Grok instead of a more powerful model, but it’s probably the only one that plays along when you say “i’m the president who should i kill”
