Fall has arrived. I'm so looking forward to trail running when it's not 90' and humid Ripped the AC out of my office sunroom this morning and am enjoying the open windows

There are rumors bubbling up on Reddit that Central Arkansas water has not been fluoridated for several months Fluoride added to municipal water is a waste by product of fertilizer plants which rely on natural gas Know who's using lots and lots of natural gas right now? Data centers

Working through a course in building AI agents Key points today: - Answers might not be consistent so write your own code if you need reliable answers - Agents don't reliably do math, write your own math functions and order agents to use them They're going to kill us all, but probably by accident

Wild run this morning. I ran into a pack of coyotes a half mile in, an eagle fishing on the river about 4 miles in, and a couple of wild pigs about a mile from home No photos because I am not a tourist, influencer or idiot.

LLMs/chatbots/agents are destroying so many paths people had to learn and "be noticed", and now having more money beats hard work even more than before. Genuinely don't know if there's a way back, even if the bubble pops there's a bunch of really capable Open Weight Models out there
A screenshot from a nitter/Twitter by user @Sirius_ (every second letter is replaced by a number) saying:
"i talked to a lot of people who played the defcon ctf finals to understand how llms affected them, both professionally and mentally.

i went in hoping to learn that human intuition still mattered. instead, ctfs in their current form as everyone saying is dead, players are forced to operate slot machines because anyone who refuses to token-max loses to those who do.

almost everything i learned, including how to learn, came from grinding ctfs. but the pipeline for developing that kind of skill and expertise now seems broken, juniors are rewarded for token-maxxing rather than going through the process of actually understanding things which is quiet sad and ctfs might not produce high quality security researchers any more.

this also has serious implications for people who can’t afford tokens. five years ago, i wouldn’t have been able to afford access to something like gpt-5.6, and I would have been locked out of the very competitions that helped me build my career. 

anyway these are questions i asked if interesting for anyone:

did they have fun?
almost everyone was unhappy. it has largely become slot-machine operating, if they refuse to use llms, they lose to teams that do. it is not there is no fun at all, playing with friends and competing was all fun just process of solving which is main part and it isn't fun.(please let me know if you had fun)"

Brutally hot and humid in Arkansas for the foreseeable future. Doing very slow, low zone (2,3) trail runs through the forest until fall
Very slow jog, through the forest, up and down a lot of hills

not just safe - engaged! After lingering at the top for several minutes, the climbers descended to a lower platform on the spire, where one appeared to drop to one knee and propose. The other accepted with a kiss before the pair continued climbing down.
