What frontier AI code feels like sometimes.
A black wall plate with two power sockets and two switches, mounted on a gray concrete-look wall. A white double adapter is plugged into one socket but covers the other, resulting in still two available sockets. Two black power cords are plugged into the adapter and hang downward.

Incredible (Image: NASA)
A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.

this substack from a week ago paint a grim tale for OpenAI that partly explains the increased price of GPT-5.2 a big part: they rely on external providers like MS & Google for datacenters and that’s inherent risky & expensive substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Maybe b/c I’m in Australia but ChatGPT has been bugging out all day for me. My first thought was “5.2 must be dropping soon” 😅

The worst part about being a casual / spontaneous gamer (maybe once a month) is having to sit through all of the console and game updates every single time you sit down to play. By the time they’re finished, the random urge to play is almost gone.

Considering replacing a bunch of subscriptions with iCloud+ - biggest disappointment so far is how basic the rules are on iCloud Mail. The client-side rules available on MacOS Mail are suffice but are not available on iCloud.com 👎

I don’t remember exactly. But it wasn’t very old, probably < 5 years expired. I was more concerned that I found it in a random box that would have gone through many hot summers and cold winters in various garages 😆

They also refunded me for some bullshit stock library they signed me up to without my permission. (Apparently I failed to opt out to some extra bullshit during the sign up process). So I guess they know their behaviour is shitty they just hope people can’t be bothered to complain.

Adobe has multiple class actions against them due to dishonest cancellation fees. I went through this a couple years back. Got on to a support person and kept telling them to drop the fees or I’d make a complaint to ACCC. Eventually they dropped the fee but it took a lot of back and forth.

I’ve been creating specialised agents with smaller toolsets, and using an orchestrator agent to call them as tools. But once you have a lot of specialised agents, things can still get out of hand. Keen to try out A2A and see if it offers a cleaner approach. I’ll keep an eye out for your project.
