Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.

Go Bruins!

Body worn cameras from Tiger Woods' arrest were released today. In addition to pills marked as Hydrocodone in his left pocket, officers removed this pack of pouches from his right pocket. Appears to be nicotine-free TGRT Focus pouches, which are used for cognitive support.

In response to the severe situation impacting AWS me-south-1 (Bahrain) and AWS me-central-1 (UAE) regions, we are making Cluster Linking free to impacted customers to facilitate safe and rapid data egress from the degraded datacenters. If you’ve been impacted, your account representative will reach out to you in the coming days. In the meantime, find Cluster Linking documentation here: docs.confluent.io/cloud/current/…

@Saboo_Shubham_ From "hands off to hands on." Fantastic! This perfectly describes the shift Product teams get to make.

Some Silicon Valley people think @DarioAmodei is talking his book. That all the AI risk talk is hype to drive up the valuation or a (nonsensical) scheme to achieve regulatory capture. My observation as a board member is that this is bullshit. The @AnthropicAI founders and leadership is very earnest and sincere in what they say. They may be wrong, or you may disagree, but this isn’t some convoluted ploy: they believe AI is a very very impactful technological change and want to ensure it goes right. What it means to stand on principle is to do something you believe is right where the cost to you is high. The benefit of seeing this kind of thing is you can tell who actually has principles and is willing to pay that price.

It’s Claude Code, not Claude Engineering. Syntax is now a commodity. System design, testing, and planning are still the differentiator.

@dexhorthy This Is The Theme

its a gruvbox-dark type of sunday morning

Most MCP servers are token burning, context window destroying machines. Is there a way to tell an LLM to do some pre-processing of an MCP's GET request via some bash script before adding it to the context window?

We need to retire the term "vibe coding." It’s far too dismissive of the massive shift happening in software today. We are entering the era of Agentic Engineering. Great blog @Zai_org z.ai/blog/glm-5

h/t Regardless of your politics, you gotta respect what @garrytan is doing here. A single person, "vibe coding" a rails app til the early hours of the morning, to bring meaningful change to his community. I think the West Wing said it best, "There's a promise I ask everyone who works here to make. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful and committed citizens can change the world. Do you know why? ...It's the only thing that ever has?" youtu.be/43DOgo2VzGU?si…

Visit garryslist.org it's now live! I'm glad I get to share this with you today.

Now announcing: Garry's List We’re starting a citizen’s union for radical centrism. We proved local politics is winnable in SF. Now we’re building the community to do it everywhere — news, commentary, and accountability for policies that affect California and our society.

@SuitSheep @AnthropoceneMe1 100% agree. I got to see this first hand. x.com/addisonhuddy/s…

@AnthropoceneMe1 So who do you think did the CAD drawings in the 80s and going forward? The computers didn't do it themselves. These guy just learned how to do CAD.

After CAD was invented all these guys had to be humanely euthanized. Sad but true.

@MikeyOver1 VO2 MAX!

One of those clips I just watched from my couch that made me feel the most unathletic I have ever felt This has got to be top 5 most insane athletic feats, right?

@BoringBiz_ This is a fantastic lecture. Definitely worth a watch. Check out primebezos.com for more lessons from Bezos at his peak.

This 50 minute lecture from Jeff Bezos in 2005 at Stanford GSB will teach you more about innovation and product growth than most 2 year MBA programs

@financedystop This is indeed a thing. Same thing happened when I was a kid.

Corporate dentist: 9 cavities. Family dentist: zero cavities.

@dexhorthy It’s seriously good. I lived in Austin for three years so by no means a native but it is my top place. Honest Mary’s is another good spot for cheaper eats. Emmer and Rye if you want to go all out.

@addisonhuddy ✅ Veracruz idk if you have noticed this but everyone not-from-austin loves this place but I can’t get an austin native to excitedly endorse it and I can’t figure out why

austin i am at u
