mmpollard··on We Benchmarked Frontier LLMs on Defensive Security. The Results Surprised Us
Interesting. I wonder if Gemini 3 reverses that performance trend or if the agent harness lended itself to OpenAI / Anthropic more than Google.

Would like to see this on more open-source agent harnesses and tools.

mmpollard··on The IBM 650: An appreciation from the field (1986) [pdf]
Tangentially related, one of the coolest books I've ever read is called "the dream machine" -- it goes through a ton of the detail around opinions on projects like the IBM 650 and others at the time... Neat stuff.
