Claude Code Can Debug Low-level Cryptography
Surprisingly (to me) Claude Code debugged my new ML-DSA implementation faster than I would have, finding the non-obvious low-level issue that was making Verify fail.

Anthropic and IBM partner to make Anthropic's Claude models available in IBM's latest IDE, and IBM aims to make Claude available in more products soon (Belle Lin/Wall Street Journal)

Some positive signs for AI coding tools. Claude-code is a $1B run rate product six month after launch. The latest Claude Opus 4.5 model is several times cheaper and faster than last month’s version and uses about a quarter of the number of tokens to get work done. My own benchmark saw over an hour of coding reduced to 17 minutes. The high rate of change continues. The boundary of what does/doesn’t work is pushing back fast.

Spent my morning pairing with Claude because I had to make probably-similar-but-not-identical changes to 73 repositories. Starting with analysis, planning and reviews which was so much easier at scale with assistance. My successful workflows are the ones where I think about how to keep myself in the loop, and I review/edit everything before I run it - but ask for review and feedback as I go. The scripts are a mess but it’s disposable code so as long as it’s readable, that’s fine!

Cosmological Hydrodynamics at Exascale: A Trillion-Particle Leap in Capability
Resolving the most fundamental questions in cosmology requires simulations that match the scale, fidelity, and physical complexity demanded by next-generation sky surveys. To achieve the realism needed for this critical scientific partnership, detailed gas dynamics, along with a host of astrophysical effects, must be treated self-consistently with gravity for end-to-end modeling of structure formation. As an important step on this roadmap, exascale computing enables simulations that span survey…
