Being a little bit out of the loop sometimes is a good thing. Gives you a bit of perspective.

Unlike DS 4.1 Flash Mistral seems deeply tied up with OFAC sanctions encumbered hardware (and financing) though which is unfortunate

New Mistral open-weight model looks dope. Basically European DS 4.1 Flash? Output speed is a tad slower than DS 4.1 Flash (I wonder if one could imply some of the KV cache hacks from DS to speed things up?) but it looks really good

Remember when your phone was a supplementary device to your computer and not the other way around?

Feels like I'm a 10yo browsing XDA Developers again haha except this time I don't need to copy-paste a million commands and do hacky fixes on my own, a machine can do that for me in ~1/1000th of the time

DS4.1 Flash w/ DSH absolutely rocks for fixing this kind of stuff btw. Can drive the phone via ADB too

> eUICC info: { Available memory in bytes:-1 } Great. Looks like my GrapheneOS phone needs an incredibly hacky fix ( spwoodcock.dev/blog/2026-08-05-grap… ) for eSIM to work. Not their fault, it's Google's fault, but damn it.

Honestly, the only additional paragraph I'd add to the EU AI act at this point is something along the lines of "if a model is trained on the commons, then it should itself be placed into the commons, and so should be all of the output created with it"

Incredibly impressed with the battery life on my new personal laptop. It's a last-gen Intel chip so I wasn't expecting much, but damn I can basically skip my charger on intercontinental flights now! That's so cool!

AI ‘godfather’ Yann LeCun has ‘zero concerns’ about human extinction and thinks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is ‘deluded’ and ‘crazy’. Yann LeCun dismisses fears of AI extinction and recent hacks at OpenAI and Anthropic, arguing that security breaches comes from poor system design, leaky sandboxes, and a lack of basic cybersecurity in AI labs, not out-of-control AI. These AI are doing as told by these AI labs https://fortune.com/2026/10/01/yann-lecun-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-deluded-crazy-cybersecurity/ Finally somebody said it what I was saying about this nonsense

We’ve renamed Home Assistant Cloud to Home Assistant Link. Here’s why the old name never did fit, and why this one finally does.

Aviso Wealth is also pretty damn nice if you want to have somebody manage your investments for you. Sure, the fees are a bit higher than WS, but it's nice not to have to worry about your retirement savings evaporating sporadically every few months.

Doesn't work on GrapheneOS either, not really their fault - requires smth privileged in GPlay for it to work - but enough of a dealbreaker for me that I just ended up switching everything over to Zigbee.

Breaking Up with Google Play: Why Conversations Is Now Free
Conversations, my federated instant messaging client for Android, started out as many traditional open-source projects do: as an attempt to scratch my own itch. Development started in January 2014 in my student dormitory, and within weeks I started dogfooding and using the client as the primary means of communicating with my friends. However, when it came to releasing the app to the public on March 24, 2014—exactly twelve and a half years ago today—it was immediately clear to me that I would at least try to turn my open-source project into a business. While I didn’t invent the business model of making the source code publicly available but charging for the convenience of a compiled binary, it was certainly unusual in 2014.

Have these people just not once tried an agent before or what makes people still be surprised by this in 2026? Is this one of those "living under a rock and being surprised when the phone lines finally arrive" kind of moment?

RE: neuromatch.social/@jonny/1173247908… Is this really surprising to people? Every agent I know, be it this cursed Meta thing or Nanobot, Hermes, or god forbid, OpenClaw, work like this. And have been for like 12 months now.
