It's enheartening to see someone make a decision in this context that's driven by values rather than revenue, regardless of whether I agree. I dissented while I was there, had millions in equity on the line, and left without it.

I used to work at Anthropic, and I wrote a comment on a thread earlier this week about the RSP update [1]. It's enheartening to see that leaders at Anthropic are willing to risk losing their seat at the table to be guided by values. So

I don't hold the belief that it's always better to have influence in a group where you don't trust leadership – in this case, those who decide at the metaphorical table – vs. trying to affect change through a different avenue

I used to work at Anthropic. I fully believe that the folks mentioned in the article, like Jared Kaplan, are well-intentioned and concerned about the relationship between safety research and frontier capabilities – not purely profit. That s

The post is light on details, and I agree with the sentiment that it reads like marketing. That said, Opus 4.6 is actually a legitimate step up in capability for security research, and the red team at Anthropic – who wrote this post – are s

Yep, the Anthropic API supported tool use well before an MCP-related construct was added to the API (MCP connector in May of this year). While it's not an API, Anthropic's Agent SDK does require MCP to use custom tools.

If you can reproduce the issue with the other API key, I'd also love to debug this! Feel free to share the curl -vv output (excluding the key) with the Anthropic email address in my profile

This pattern is common. Anecdotally, I think the majority of people trained in bioinformatics end up working full-time in standard software engineering. I think this is starting to change. Next-generation sequencers and other imaging device

Thanks! Ironically, I was hired for my first job in bioinformatics by one of the QIIME authors. Unfortunately, that didn't make it any easier. I don't think anyone has really figured out commercialization in the space yet – us inc

Argh, this could be a perfect fit for you. I'm disappointed that we won't be able to make it work for these roles. Candidly, we haven't figured out how to do international remote work well. Hopefully we will in the future!

The bioinformatics workflow managers are designed around the quirkiness of bioinformatics, and they remove a lot of boilerplate. That makes them easier to grok for someone who doesn't have a strong programming background, at the cost o

I work with Snakemake for computational biology. I see a lot of confusion as to why Snakemake exists when workflow management tools like Airflow exist, which mirrors my sentiment when moving from normal software to bio software. Snakemake i

Hey HN! I wanted a way to quickly switch between local and cloud execution for prototyping, so we built Lug. Notably, Lug doesn't require you to define your dependencies; it tries to extract and rebuild the same environment automatical

Seems plausible. It would be awesome if AWS had a publicly accessible metric to plan around this, do you know of anything like that?
