ryanscio··on Claude Opus 5.5
Let's wait for independent benchmarks at least
ryanscio··on Claude Opus 5.5
Input $4/MTok and output $20/MTok is a welcome surprise. Cheaper than Opus 5/4.8, Astra 6, Fable 5.

Pi [1] is amazing. Since using it I've felt no need to switch harnesses anymore.

Or choose Oh My PI [2] for batteries included

ryanscio··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
https://x.com/rauchg/status/2045995362499076169

> A Vercel employee got compromised via the breach of an AI platform customer called http://Context.ai that he was using.

> Through a series of maneuvers that escalated from our colleague’s compromised Vercel Google Workspace account, the attacker got further access to Vercel environments.

> We do have a capability however to designate environment variables as “non-sensitive”. Unfortunately, the attacker got further access through their enumeration.

> We believe the attacking group to be highly sophisticated and, I strongly suspect, significantly accelerated by AI. They moved with surprising velocity and in-depth understanding of Vercel.

Still no email blast from Vercel alerting users, which is concerning.

ryanscio··on The TSA's New $45 Fee to Fly Without ID Is Illegal
I'd agree with this, but TSA scanners do not show anatomical details.
ryanscio··on The TSA's New $45 Fee to Fly Without ID Is Illegal
Serious question: why?

Most people I know who object to full-body millimeter-wave scanners either do so on pseudoscientific health claims, or “philosophical” anti-scanner objections that are structurally the same genre as sovereign-citizen or First-Amendment-auditor thinking.

ryanscio··on US has investigated claims WhatsApp chats aren't private
It would, just not on new devices without moving keys via already-trusted device. This is what WhatsApp presumably does
ryanscio··on GPT-5
Yes, [1] though a bit vague given "Some organizations may already have access to these models and capabilities without having to go through the Verification process."

I never verified but have access to all models including image gen, for example.

ryanscio··on Four years of sight reading practice
Agreed. Among pianists Bach's four-part chorales [1] are a widely used practice resource for working on sight reading because of the sheer volume of the catalog.
