We should legislate identity portability for email addresses.

We have it for phone numbers, where the technical challenge was much greater. We should have it for email, too.

Natoländer har minskat militärt stöd till Ukraina Flera Natoländer minskar sitt militära stöd till Ukraina enligt en ny rapport från Kielinstitutet. De nordiska länderna ligger i topp.

När ska idioterna begripa att det är vårt krig och att Ukraina utgör fronten?

You’re on to something here. LLMs make software softer. I’ll let that simmer for a bit.

The most corrupt Eastern European oligarchs must be nodding with respect at the stuff Trump administration officials are coming up with. This is genius

(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)

This is one explanation for no one involved answering the question: "How exactly is AI going to make money?" Because the answer is "By coming up with new ways to rip you off."

A friend left a party at 9:30 on a Saturday. Not tired. Not sick. He wanted to get back to his agents.
Nobody questions it anymore. Half the room is thinking the same thing. The other half are probably checking the progress of their agents. At a party.
All the parties are sober now. Young people don't drink because they're going back to work after. Not inspired by Bryan Johnson, although that's probably a factor. The buzz they want now runs on tokens per day.

I keep noticing it on walks through the Mission. Laptops glowing everywhere. Cafes, sidewalks, heck even park benches. People walking with screens open like a flashlight guiding them somewhere. Less drunk laughter on the streets these days. More keystrokes.
Dinner conversations used to start with "what are you building?" That's over. Now it's "how many agents do you have running?" People drop the number the way they used to drop their follower count. Quietly competitive. The flex isn't what you've accomplished anymore. It's what's working while you're sitting here not working.
The vocabulary is what really gets me though.
People describe models the way sommeliers describe wine. This one has better taste. That one hallucinates with more confidence. Opus is bold, Codex is smooth. They talk about harnesses and reins like they're controlling
horses. Invisible whips directing invisible labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep

labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep
"Claude on a tight leash for code review but give it more slack for creative work." We've started borrowing the language of how we treat animals for something none of us actually understand yet.
Waking up and checking what your agents produced overnight is the first thing now.
Before coffee. Before texts. You open your laptop and grade homework you assigned in your sleep. Some of it is good. Most needs rework. But you start shipping a plan before you sleep just so you can wake up to more code written overnight. Saturdays became uninterrupted build windows. No meetings, no Slack, twelve hours of you and your agents. Sunday morning X is all terminal screenshots and shipping receipts. "What'd you ship this weekend?" replaced "what'd you do this weekend?"

The anxiety is rational, which is why it sticks.
Every week some new benchmark drops that makes last month's workflow feel prehistoric.
Codex ships overnight processing. Opus gets faster. Context windows double. None of it reduces the pressure. It multiplies it. You can do more now. And someone already is. The window to be first at anything feels like it's shrinking by the day. Literally, by the day.
I replaced Netflix with Claude Code. I lie in bed thinking about what I can spin up before I fall asleep, what can run while I'm
unconscious. Reading a novel feels indulgent now. Watching a movie without a laptop open feels wasteful. This voice in my head that says
"something could be running right now" just doesn't shut off. I'm not even building a company. I'm just addicted to building my random ideas.
Everyone here knows they should step away more. That's not the problem. The problem is what your brain does when you try. I still take a x ss walks. The agents come with me now.

Ett av problemen med demokrati är att man bara kan rösta på människor som vill ha makt. Jag vill generellt inte att människor som vill ha makt ska ha makt.

OTD in 2022 I gave Emmanuel Macron my personal assurances that I would not invade Ukraine.

So you can trust any promise we make now.

Jag föreställer mig att Wilderäng inte har mycket fler observationer i vare sig tid eller rum än de han redovisar. Att han har medhåll av någon från landets mest försvinnande parti säger inte mycket.

Nä, inte alls. Jag vill att de inte bara säger att han gjort _en_ rasistisk grej, utan att han gjort något rasistiskt nu igen, som vanligt. Inte ens ta upp det som en nyhet utan som en påminnelse och kontext. De får gärna peta in ”den flerfaldigt brottsdömde” också.

Aha. Ja, det får de ju gärna göra. Gärna i förbigående som bakgrund till själva nyheten. ” USA:s president Trump fick idag kritik efter att ännu en gång lagt upp en rasistisk video. Till skillnad från tidigare gånger (ngt)…”

SVT har ju rätt. Han raderar inte videon för att den är rasistisk (vilket de visste om från början) utan för att de anklagas och för att de är nöjda med spridningen och hellre tar poäng på att verka lyssna.

The existing term “Letter of Instruction” is very fitting for what you call “guidance” here, so maybe we could call it Command vs. Guidance instead?

Possible errata: “The most basic and powerful context interfaces in coding agents are file reading and searching, to understand your” - and that’s the end of that paragraph.
