FPÖ, Austria's right wing party, created by Nazis, and with parliament and party members with clear neonazi ties, have started a new tax burning operation: their own propaganda web radio.

I set out to scrape the stream and extract all their bullshit in textual form, so journalists have an easier time disecting this shit.

Turns out, the nazis don't like to be scraped and put Cloudflare bot detection on everything. Including robots.txt...

There's always a way :)

I wrote up all the things I did outside of family and business this year. It's a bit ... long. May it entertain you.

I've integrated Mistral AI models in my little coding agent harness pi and am happy to report that Devstral 2.0 is a good agentic model. Somewhere between Sonnet 4.0 and 4.5. It's also OSS and self-hostable (though you need a small cluster for the bigger model, e.g. via DataCrunch)

Europe is back, baby.

New blog post, wherein I tell you what I learned building my own opinionated and radically minimal coding agent.

With way to many words. Ask an LLM to summarize it for you.

Built my own coding agent harness called pi. Think Claude Code/Codex. Ran it through terminal-bench 2.0. Screenshot 2 has the full system prompt. That's it. It also only exposes 4 tools to the model: file read/write/edit and bash. Each tool description is no longer than 1-2 sentences. It has no web search, no compaction, no auto-retries.

It hilariously placed #7 on the leaderboard using Anthropic's Opus 4.5 model, beating Anthropic's own Claude Code harness, and most Codex variations.

Oi, looks like Anthropic is going to pay a lot of money? (Not to authors like myself, we'll get peanuts, but the lawyers behind the class action).

Going to invest the peanuts I'll get for the 5 editions of my book into our little charity https://cards-for-ukraine.at

Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.

In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.

Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..
