In Anthropic’s Scion writeup, agent-written systems tried to find merge times by scanning the commit log instead of asking the code-review tool. That’s a concrete thing to check in agent-written code: is it recomputing an answer the system already has? https://t.co/lHkKWBQzL8

A wedding crossword needs a few clues the guests can actually solve.
These optional tags let you mark who might know each answer: family, friends, everyone, or just the two of you. A quick way to spot too many inside jokes.

"Yes. The original renderer read *camera.cpu repeatedly. That heap is device-local, host-visible memory—BAR-mapped VRAM on the RTX 4090, with no CPU caching guarantee. That was a mistake."
That was indeed a mistake :D
