Is this comparable to https://dspy.ai/ ?

Definitely not.

no. more lower level.


I think this is a bit hyperbolic. Fable will fall back to Opus.

> Unlike our interventions for cybersecurity, biology and chemistry, and distillation attempts, these safeguards will not be visible to the user. Fable 5 will not fall back to a different model. Instead, the safeguards will limit effectiveness through …

No it won’t fall back to Opus, they will purposely return dumbed down or tainted information with the goal of the end user not knowing the results have been impacted.


That’s a separate mechanism, and it will tell you so if it does (if the prompt is remated to cybersecurity, biology)

I think it's this one: Rookie Historian Goo Hae-Ryung. It's on Netflix, the Korean series about a Joseon-era scribe for the royal house.

That’s a good one btw

How do you incorporate secrets in this kind of implementation? Stored in db?


Unless you have a very specific use case, you wouldn't want to store in db or in any message you use in any workflow like this. Usually whatever does the actual work has a way to get the secret.


Secrets are orthogonal to durable execution--what are your concerns about using them together?


Hi Boris. Love the velocity of features. Are you planning on adding a secrets manager? Enterprise workflows almost always require an encrypted parameter or calling a secret.


I think they have vaults[0] which provide it. I don't think this is available on the non platform side.

This is it, thank you. I’m surprised I couldn’t get Claude to surface this capability.


Why should secrets be built in? What's the issue with tool use and something like 1password's or Vault's CLI?


Another piece to pay for.


There are free alternatives: https://openbao.org/

Personally, I am happy paying 1password for my personal secret management. Their security credibility and bona fides are well-established. I'd strongly consider them for a business contract too.


They forgot to mention that they will move back to mom’s house.


The npm install of Claude Code deprecated, since Feb 2026.


Is this similar to how Napster worked?


Yes in the sense that users pool resources for the network, but no in the sense that Napster relied on a centralized database of content - whereas Freenet is entirely decentralized.

Also Freenet is much more general, you could think of Napster like a shared hard drive, whereas Freenet is like a shared computer capable of running decentralized applications like group chat, social networks, search engines, etc.


Is there any reason why a system like this can't be distributed like bittorrent? It just seems like decentralization is used to censor content at the node.


I'm not sure what you mean, Freenet is at least as decentralized as bittorrent.


I thought Gnutella was a bit more like Freenet than Napster, iirc only the bootstrap was centralized.


Gnutella was decentralized like Freenet, but it's broadcast search approach limited scalability relative to Freenet's "small-world" approach which can scale indefinitely.


Would dead-reckoning work or using some galactic sextant?


Maybe?

Ultima (Proxima Book 2) by Stephen Baxter:

    “Oh, come on. This is just great. An imperial Roman starship! . . . We know they lack sophisticated electronics, computers. I wonder how the hell they navigate that thing.”

    “The drive isn’t always on,” said Titus.

    Stef realized that a more precise translation of his words might have been, *The vulcans do not always vomit fire.*

    “Every month they shut it down, and turn the ship.” He mimed this with his one good hand, like aligning a cannon. “The surveyors take sightings from the stars. Then they swivel the ship to make sure we’re on the right track, and fire up the drive again. It’s like laying a road, on the march. You lay a stretch, and at the end of the day the surveyors take their sightings to make sure you’re heading straight and true where you’re supposed to go, and the next day off you go. Works like a dream. Why, I remember once on campaign—”

    “Navigation by dead reckoning,” said the ColU. “Taking sightings from the stars—simply pointing the craft at the destination. They have no computers here, Colonel Kalinski, nothing more complex than an abacus. And they have astrolabes, planispheres, orreries, sextants, and very fine clocks—all mechanical, mechanical, and remarkably sophisticated. But, Colonel, this starship is piloted using clockwork! However, if you have the brute energy of the kernels available, you don’t need subtlety, you don’t need fine control. You need only aim and fire.”


Ha!
