Much better than Moana 2, that’s for sure

Also, I think one of the problems with chat UI is both user and agent aren’t looking and touching The Thing. You’re both trying to communicate The Thing *and* the problem surface. Both prone to error (and your bad assumptions get transferred to agent). This is one of the reason canvas/artifacts help

Solving problems also helps by having another person who is independently modeling the problem discussed. Talking about it often uncovers hidden assumptions (modeling diffs) one party is making. Sometimes those are spurious, sometimes lead to solutions.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

Also great because markdown is this beautiful middle ground of fairly flexible and easy to write in but also well-featured and structured. It’s a terrific format for flexibly and expressively organizing knowledge

Having been a daring fireball reader from way back (and writing blog posts in markdown), the centrality of markdown for agents today (and for me now building them) is still kinda amusing to me

Similarly for managing our calendar, I can toss it stuff and it adds it to our calendar, and knows what we have going on.

I tried hacking a work list for Claude in Reminders with Shortcut automations to trigger Claude, but that didn’t work because the Claude shortcut doesn’t get Reminder tools

@genmon.fyi Re Reminders for agents, I got so much value out of Claude’s iOS app support for Reminders and Calendar. I created meal planning skills which depend on Reminders (weekly meal plan, recipe library, grocery list); I toss Claude new recipes and it adds it to my recipe library.

Actually if we could get them using agile that would be helpful, because then they’ll argue about agile for 3 years

Credit to Letta—it really does just work out of the box. I’ll probably end up hacking on some memory, identity and long-term goal type stuff, but it’s remarkable how much of what I wanted to do with it works without doing anything fancy.

Haven’t exactly had a ton of time today, but nonetheless I created a skill with it to do our weekly meal planning (using Notes and Reminders for recipe library and grocery list), have it connected to Things to I can assign it work to do on my behalf (like analyze a research paper), and more.

For anyone wanting to play with the bot formerly known as Clawd, you might want to just start with LettaBot. It’s quite useful right out of the box and very capable. Its memory is great, it has built in support for skills, and it integrates with their ADE, too. letta.bot

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

We’ve (collectively) been trying to figure out how to scalably apply LLMs to knowledge work since Jan ‘23, and this is the takeoff moment

I mean I would be very intrigued by this. But this is a high risk high reward maneuver. If you put olive oil on your resume, you better have something interesting to say about it

picture of Alex Pretti

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

They murder someone, then blatantly and outrageously lie about the victim and what transpired. Lies which are obviously disproven by video from multiple angles. This is now a government which brutalizes people, then blatantly maligns the dead and lies to the American people about it after they do.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

I’d add that even if there powers were appropriately restricted, the culture that had obviously developed within the agency is so heinously toxic and abusive that it’s beyond realistic remedy by ANY policy reform in the short term. You’ve got to fumigate and start over.

the western alliance was born in the fires of the most catastrophic conflict in the history of the world. republicans are spitting on the graves of the dead. these men and women are human filth.

FastMCP 3.0 is here!

This is our largest and most ambitious release ever.

We've re-architected the framework to support the next generation of MCP applications.

It's time to move fast and make things.

The US’s power in the late 20th and 21st century was an endowment bestowed to us by the confluence of the US as an aspirational nation and the blood expended in WW2. It is a belief in an expanding pie and a rejection of zero sum. We have forsaken it. Once lost, it is gone. bsky.app/profile/norm...

Inaction by the US’s institutions, public and private, in the face of a mad man is itself a choice, and a choice the rest of the world doesn’t have to accept and make itself, nor one they will make. We are choosing abrupt, disastrous consequences for our nation.

Yeah, that is not even close to a correct description, and one of those things which says more about the author than it does the subject.

Firing McDermott and giving Beane a promotion is not exactly a sign of good judgment.
