Was writing smth up on the topic & realised that never shared this with the world: Part of my PhD research, now in print - ethnography of how professional (& knowledge) boundaries are fluid and emergent, and not somehow reified. Good lit review too 😉 emerald.com/insight/conten……

New report from us: Can you prompt inject your way to an “A”? As LLMs increasingly are used as judges, people are inserting AI prompts into letters, CVs & papers. We tested whether it works. It does on older & smaller models, but not on most frontier AI: gail.wharton.upenn.edu/research-and-i…

Ust-Luga fire now visible from Estonia 👍

Another one of those things that never happened

What’s the Latvian equivalent of labas? Labdien seems too formal 🤔

Navigating Earth Observation data can be hard, but it does not have to be. 💫  Tilde and the Baltic Satellite Service will develop an AI assistant for the Earth Observation (EO) Baltic Platform. The project is funded by @esa. 📌 More info here: tilde.ai/news/tilde-to-…

Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT predict Baltic champions for 2026 We put ChatGPT 5.2 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6 Extended and Gemini 3.1 Pro to the test across Virslīga, Premium Liiga and A Lyga. Latvia stays a Riga FC/RFS duopoly, Estonia’s top four is unchanged, Lithuania gets the widest split balticfootballnews.com/claude-gemini-…

To our Ukrainian friends and President @ZelenskyyUa — Latvia stands with you and always will 🇱🇻 🤝 🇺🇦

I think agentic AI would work much better if people took lessons from organizational theory, which has actually spent a lot of time understanding how to deal with complex hierarchies, information limits, and spans of control. Right now most agentic AI systems seem to pretend that models have basically unlimited ability to manage subagents when that is clearly not true. We need measures of spans of control for AI. A human tops out at less than 10 direct reports. I am pretty sure that 100 subagents is too much for an orchestrator agent - suspect we need middle management agents (yes, I get it, insert middle management joke here). Similarly, we need more attention to boundary objects. These are what is handed between groups (marketing to IT to sales) in organizations to convey meaning as a project crosses group boundaries, like a prototype or a user story. Right now agents pass raw text & maybe code back and forth. Structured boundary objects that multiple agents of different ability levels can read and write to would solve a huge number of coordination failures & reduce token use. I also think aboht coupling, which is how tightly units inside organizations are bound. Most agentic systems are either too tightly coupled (every step needs approval) or too loose (Moltbook). This tradeoff is well-studied in organizations, I bet a lot would apply to agents. Other known issues like bounded rationality also apply, I suspect. Everyone is rushing towards the (terribly named) agent swarm, but the issue won’t just be how good the model is, it will be org design choices. I am not sure the labs see this, but we definitely need a lot more experiments with organizing agents done by people who understand real coordination issues.

@IAPonomarenko Kimi is best for long context but might not perform best in feedback (depends on what kind of feedback)

Serious question: which AI is best suited for reading, understanding, providing feedback on large texts (books, around 120,000 words)?

@RuffPhilip As they should be

Estonia concerned about Latvia being 'years' behind on Rail Baltica: eng.lsm.lv/article/econom… #Baltics

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

What do you know, @FT went ahead and published my little letter to the editor.

@Riekstins__M @FT @Latvian_MFA @Braze_Baiba Latvia was never a “Soviet republic” @FT (indeed, there were arguably no republics in the soviet block) 🙄

Another example of ignorance or arrogance, this time from @FT. “Former Soviet Republic”- what is the point to highlight this? 35 years (!) have passed since we restored our independence after soviet occupation. Does your office in Frankfurt report on former East Germany too?

@Pabriks 🤦‍♂️

Izskatās, ka ciešāka integrācija ar Ziemeļeiropas un Baltijas jūras valstīm mums tuvākajā laikā nav plānota. Izkopjam glaimus, tie noteikti atnesīs rezultātu. share.google/2BA5Na41PIHrMM…

@LV_visiem @Dakasr2 Well, you got 2/4 right - well done 👏

@drdmitrijs @Dakasr2 Everyone in Latvia is against immigration. We all are for our language and our culture. Russian language in Latvia has only one status - it is a language of the former occupation. Its time to get free from occupation, specially russian language.

Liana Langa yra labai svarbi asmenybė Latvijos 🇱🇻 žmonėms. Ji atvirai ir aktyviai pasisako prieš rusifikaciją bei nuosekliai gina latvių kalbą ir latvių tautos interesus. Neatsitiktinai ją puola rusų ir kitų šalių šovinistai, kurie sąmoningai painioja patriotizmą su „kraštutiniu nacionalizmu“. Stipri moteris ir tikra savo šalies patriotė!🇱🇻 Paldies par Jūsu darbu! @liana_langa

@zuravlevs @Dakasr2

@drdmitrijs @Dakasr2 Latvija dibināta mērķim latviešu tautas un kultūras attīstība. Tas ir rakstīts valsts Satversmē. Jebkura pretestība ir pretošanās valsts mērķim. Jūsu komentārs par to liecina. Migrācija ir pret Satversmi.

Ukraine should study Baltic integration policies — what works and what backfires. Because after the war we will need to encourage a shift to Ukrainian without pushing Russian-speaking citizens into alienation. The Economist uses Latvia as a warning case and calls it a “gift to the Kremlin.” 1/

@ChrisO_wiki @MattZeitlin I had a dishwasher but only used it maybe twice a year… not that hard to just do the dishes

@MattZeitlin I'm in the UK and nobody I know has a dishwasher.

The FT pooh-poohs AI by pointing out that less than half of UK households have dishwashers...putting aside people's feelings about AI...only half of UK households have dishwashers????
