Lesson learned: use at least #claude haiku if your agent uses tools, cheaper models hallucinate way too much. #rockbot is starting to shape up pretty well today; good tool use, subagents, #a2a agents - truly productive #ai. github.com/marimerllc/r...

OK, #copilot is getting out of hand. Now the agent I talk to doesn't even do the work, it delegates to _subagents_!

Any idea what this new @windows error is all about? Due to #powertoys? Due to the latest #visualstudio preview?

I like Mint #linux as a #windows10 replacement, and highly recommend people do not just discard their existing computers just because they can't upgrade to #Windows11. Original post: mastodon.social/@RealJournal...

Just a couple people here at #live360 - and today is the pre-con before the real conference! It is starting to feel like "the before times" (aka before the pandemic and recession)

I recently attended training on the use of #narcan and #naloxone. #minnesota has legal protections for people to help folks suffering from an overdose. The #opiod and #fentanyl crisis can affect people in any walk of life; the more people prepared to help, the more people who can live to recover.

Mostly offline today as we drove the Going to the Sun road in Glacier National Park. Nonstop beauty!

Spent the day in Yellowstone National Park. Saw all sorts of beautiful things, including this waterfall with a rainbow.
