The biggest advancement in AI isn't model size, its improved context. My swarms are multimodal, with workflow-native intelligence, extremely persistent memory, and basically zero latency. This lets me focus on ensuring right information is avail, regardless of my flawed prompts.

This is my son (and yours, too!) holding the Olympic Torch in Livigno, Italy. Sam and I flew out to spend 29 hours at the Olympics because I wanted him to experience the Olympics from the spectator side before he qualifies for Los Angeles 2028. That’s our story are sticking to it!

Pro- tip: make sure you check out some @jhaddix.bsky.social videos on YouTube. Some of his ideas are simple, but simply brilliant. In fact, I have been inspired to create my own jailbreaks by mimicking* some of his. * "mimicking" meaning "blatantly plagiarizing"

Losing 158 pounds was the third hardest thing I have ever done in life, but it pales in comparison to the difficulty of keeping the weight off. I periodically post the results from my DEXAScans and BodyPod results as a way to keep myself accountable to staying healthy.

Do your airBnB's pans look pristine, but everything cooked on it tastes way too garlicky? Multi-tenant RAG/LLMs can be similar: broad semantic queries can leak "residual" context from other tenants. Be careful, though: That weird taste might be from macaroni, but it also might be methyline!

Please register to see if you can get in for the ticket drop for Los Angeles Olympics. The registration is now open at LA 28 <dot> org. Registration is in extreme demand and Sport Climbing tickets will be, too. Shmoocon and Derbycon alumni, start your F5's.

David Lightman was played by Matthew Broderick, and “War Games” catapulted several careers in Hollywood and (eventually) in Hacking. Go watch it. You will be surprised by how good it still is. Here’s a tiny bit of non copyrighted parody slop making fun of me:

The Christmas before he went to the Paris Olympics, my son Sam gave me this framed photo taken minutes after he had qualified. I love this photo! He also wrote something on the back, which chokes me up even reading it for the 800th time.

If you can find screenshots of these two tweet threads from 2021, I will pay for you 133.70 for each screenshot that I use (with your permission) in a public talk or book. (Yes, I know screenshots are not private property. But I will pay anyway. Consider it a bounty to reward digital hoarders.)

threatening or trying to "cancel" her in the country music scene. In this song she addresses that, but says even though they complain and threaten, they still show up to hear her sing. And I liked that.

Ray [REDACTED] @rayredacted.com · 07/12/2025
When I first heard this song, I thought it was about her recent controversies and 'cancellation'. You see Maren is an ourspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ human rights, BLM, and immigrant rights. And the country music scene isn't. So I assumed she was singing about MAGA folks...

One of my favorite songs is paradoxically about two opposite concepts and I am curious which one of the themes you will pick up first. Don't use AI to answer; we'll do that later.Using just your own ears, yes, and brain... What do you think this Maren Morris song is about? Why? (thread)

Btw, I share my biometric data publicly in order to keep myself accountable on keeping the weight off permanently. It’s been nearly two years and it isn’t getting easier.

Renpho usually makes mediocre to good products that don’t require a subscription. But this new morphoscan “NOVA” is their best product yet. It is 99.999% true to DexaScans. Better than Hume. Better than InBody.

Large Language Models are not well suited for every task. But helping you understand the meaning of lyrics might quite possibly be one of their most fascinating use cases.

There are absolutely no words to express how proud I am of this young man, and it's not just because of his 3 Gold Medals or his 5 World Records. I proud of the class and respect he shows to others. Go, Sammy, Go.

I lost a bit over 150 pounds in around a year, but keeping that weight off is ten times harder than losing it. I publicly post my DEXAScan and Hume data to keep myself accountable for staying physically healthy. (I don’t know how to track mental health yet.)

What are some examples of DEF CON art? I am looking for paintings, sculpture, street art, especially the weird and unique. I know there is absolutely beautiful art in the #BadgeLife community. I am going to do a whole different thread about Badges.
