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!

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 start watching this now, you can bing the whole thing except the finale, which should air this week. It's the probably the best televised show since "Mr. Robot," or at least the first eight parts were. We shall see if the finale is or not.

I don't know Mick Foley personally, nor do I know why decided to take a stand against his employer, with or without several of his colleagues. If you watch documentaries & interviews, Mick seems extremely genuine, empathetic, & kind to others. And I support that.

Notre Dame refused to go to any bowl game after the 1996 season, too, but it wasn't nearly as big of a story back then.

After a lifetime of trying to have the last word, I beyond honored to have the last word in @joemenn.bsky.social’s new revised edition of Cult of the Dead Cow.
warnings, was threatened with prose
backfired on the government, as coverage of the threat propelled icke Block to the top spot on Apple's app store.
Inside the Cult of the Dead Cow, the new members brought resilient energy, a sense of urgency, and a commitment to see the group con-tinue. "Everyone wants to see this last-it's something the world needs," Katelyn said. The worse things get, as authoritarian leaders and compt oligarchs use technology to manipulate and surveil the population, the more important it will be for those in opposition to harness technology for good. They will need distributed systems like Veilid without a choke point where a government can press for control, private means of communica tion like Signal that collect almost no information on their users, and inno vative tools for evading, exposing, and disrupting the means of repressin.
"Vocal folks in tech, organizations like cDc and smaller local groups, can make it clear that we can still have progress without technofascism, sai Lindsay. "We have tech that will help in the coming rebellion."Book cover!

Modern microcontroller based text adventure games (a niche space for sure) have an advantage from those back in the day of ZORK - namely, custom code. Each year I write a new game and each year it needs a few custom behaviors ... like pressing 2 elevator buttons at the same time 😉

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...

Ray [REDACTED] @rayredacted.com · 07/12/2025
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)

that Black Friday coupon is tempting!!! Just make sure you dont accidentally buy the wrong one. You want morphoscan NOVA, not plain morphoscan or plain nova. Has to be Mophroscan Nova, with 8 biometric contacts

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.

I finally gave in and watched the Pluribus pilot. I was extremely skeptical, because the pilot episodes of “Lost” or “Breaking Bad” or “Mr. Robot” were instant classics. “Pluribus” is too. Watch it.

You are not a pessimist or "downer" for struggling w/ hope. Of course trauma survivors struggle w/ hope. We're suspicious of it. We know it can make us vulnerable. We know it can be used against us. But hope, properly understood & leveraged, can also be a powerful recovery tool.
