Me: "We should wire your gaming PC into the new modem."

Them: "How long will that take?"

Me: "15 minutes?"

Three hours later, wifi is out for the whole house, I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor of my livingroom, rewiring an RJ45 outlet on a cat5 cable I inadvertently un-pulled two hours ago.
😞

Things have changed again, sure. But there is another thing, here, screaming at me to be said out loud, and I don't know what it is. I can't find it.

I'm going to have to ask the AI, obviously.

K, it's been a few days, and I don't think anything about AI has been so much of a "this is huge, but I don't quite understand why in a way I can make explicit, yet" moment as this Harness development post.

My mind will not let go of it, and it also won't tell me why it is holding onto it.

Congratulations to Minneapolis and MN.

You did it right. You made their lives miserable, you made their job impossible, you made them overreact, two of you sacrificed your lives, the rest of you were undaunted, they lost all semblance of moral authority, and you won, honouring the lives lost.

This harness development thing has got me SHOOK.

Ireland announces scheme to provide basic income for artists The Basic Income for Artists (BIA) project is believed to be the first permanent one of its kind in the world.

Ireland: a proper country.

Harness engineering: leveraging Codex in an agent-first world By Ryan Lopopolo, Member of the Technical Staff

openai.com/index/harnes... Most important thing I've read so far this year. Preview of how products get built in 2027.

Nice to have the support of corporate America in making inconvenient facts disappear, I guess.

Hopefully we can continue to have relatively sane campaign finance laws, and a relatively non-partisan process for appointing the highest court. But people need to be made aware why what we have is less awful, and encouraged to protect and improve the things that work, against the forces of entropy.

My middlest's high school was on lockdown this morning.

High school is not now what it once was.

We have avoided the scourge of school shootings in the US, and hopefully they continue to remain extremely rare.

But it's difficult to imagine that anything awful in the US is not coming eventually.

K, well bluesky is even more dismal than usual, and it's not even because of the Olympic hockey game.

Seeing some US athletes in Italy speaking out against what's happening in Minnesota is nice.

Hearing some politicians taking an actual stand on the Epstein files is nice.

Everything else sucks.

Canada's ladies looking a little outclassed without their captain today. A lot of unnecessary mistakes. Hopefully Poulin can get back on the ice quickly.

Blawx-Powered Agentic Coding | §Blawx How coding agents can use Blawx to write compliant software

I couldn't wait to do the first §Blawx-powered coding agent experiment. Short version is that the workflow works, but the coding task was too easy to be confident whether the Blawx encoding was helping. #LegalTech #RulesAsCode app.blawx.dev/content/blaw...

Changelog: v2.0.3 & Blawx-MCP v0.1.0b | §Blawx Connect Blawx to your AI Agents

app.blawx.dev/content/chan... v2.0.3 of Blawx, and v0.1.0b of Blawx-MCP are now live. Stay tuned for some examples of what they can do. #LegalTech #RulesAsCode

Or, and I know this is going to sound crazy, but stay with me, how about you just refuse to fund them until the government proposes something systemic that will stop the murders, kidnappings, and concentration camps.

Because nothing here will even help a little.

I don't do any lawyering for them, but I did talk to a technology colleague in Minneapolis last week.

I imagine there are a lot of people in TR who, like him, took Friday off.

I know that the US treatment of Canada has been lore in the Fallout universe from the very beginning of the very first game.

But it still feels very topical to see a Canada-US border with "The Big 51" painted over it in the closing credits.

#TeamStef #Fallout

Yeah, yeah. Now is always the most important moment. Next is always the most important decision. Blah blah blah. 🙄

That's not how anything works, though, is it? Things change slowly. It is the constant pressure over time that determines the ultimate new direction.

Cultivate pressure.

We'll stop "immigration enforcement" if you give us your voter records?

Voter records.

That's straight up extortion.

Like, they don't even pretend not to be a criminal enterprise, anymore. They have no intention of facing democratic accountability, so they don't care.

That is the vibe, isn't it?

Arcane.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

In a perfect world, deaths of protestors for no reason at the hands of ICE would be less frequent, and less predictable.

That's not the world we have.

Minnesotans have another unwanted opportunity to prove that they are better at democracy than the US government is at fascism.

100% tariffs on Canada if we deal with China?

Imagine how much faster our trade would shift away from the US and toward China if that happened.

Like rehab for US economic dependency.

Don't hate that idea at all.

I don't immediately see how treating them as different objects is more problematic than treating them as different tables. The point of the ORM is not to change or abstract away the data paradigm, is it?

I thought the main upside was a single source of truth for data structures.

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

Really impressed with Minnesotans this year. Protests are nice. General strikes are better. Effective resistance is golden. Create friction at every opportunity. Make retreat the path of least resistance. When they react in violence, shame them, and persist.

This is the thing. Canada doesn't live because of the United States.We, like many others, have died for the United States

The disrespect, saying that we have done nothing, that we should be grateful for trade wars and threats of annexation.

Coming from someone below contempt that you re-elected.

It's almost more surprising that they pretended to care about needing a warrant.

AI Agents Are Poised to Hit a Mathematical Wall, Study Finds LLMs have their limits.

Jesus Christ, AI journalism is so bad right now.

Exhibit one, Gizmodo is raving about an article that 'proves' LLMs have a "mathematical limit" and can't possibly do tasks that are too complex.

Let's look at the actual paper, shall we?
