New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders.
Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read.
Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.

ClawdBot is amazing - it absolutely deserves all the attention it’s getting.
But, a lot of people are going to get hacked.
And that’s because way too many people are diving in without thinking about security.
Security researchers have already shown how prompt injection can be used to delete ALL of your email 😳
So there’s a few things you should know about ClawdBot security before you let it lose - it won’t take too long, but yes, it’s worth the time.

Cursor scaled to $29B without any full-time PMs.
Ryo (Cursor's Head of Design) walked me through how they work and it's the opposite of every big tech best practice:
1. Roles are muddy
PM work is spread across designers and engineers. Everyone does what fits their strengths and uses AI to fill the gaps.
2. Most designs start with code directly
Ryo barely uses Figma except for initial exploration. Most features start as live Cursor prototypes because "it feels more real than pictures."
3. No annual roadmap theater
Just a "fuzzy direction" and features shipped to concentric circles (e.g., staff, nightly beta users, consumers, enterprises) to polish.
Ryo also showed me exactly how he designs and codes new features using Cursor and how he avoid creating generic purple AI slop.

#a11y FYI: aria-hidden=true blocks Voice Control from showing a Name or Number! Along with fully blocking VoiceOver. Show Grid command works with Voice Control but that is tedious.
Remember 1st Rule of ARIA!! = DON'T USE IT!

Fantastic post by @LeaVerou buff.ly/3yotktU on using #css for contrasting colors.
It is a very interesting, but complex solution (the fallback). All this can be replaced by contrast-color once widely supported, what a great future.
Love the oklch "hack", it's new to me.
