Hermes Agent tip of the day: There are 4 ways to deal with the model while its running, - Message it, by default, it will interrupt the agent loop, stopping it and making it respond to your new message - /queue will queue up a message that will fire after the agent loop completes - /bg or /btw will run a parallel prompt that is async And - /steer will inject a guidance message into the next tool calls result sent to the model during an agent loop, to try to guide the rest of its trajectory

@danbarker The dairy industry is very problematic. If milkmen delivered alternative milks, that’d be a good proposition

Milkmen were amazing. An electric vehicle that delivered locally sourced, organic produce before dawn every day, no single-use plastics, and recycled the waste as part of the deal. It sounds almost futuristic.
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole

In 1995, 45% of British milk was delivered to the doorstep before seven in the morning by a milkman in an electric float. In 2026, it is 3%. The milkman has been effectively abolished inside one human generation. The supermarket walked in, undercut the cost by a few pence per pint, and the daily ritual of British household life, glass bottles clinking on the step at half past six, was gone by the time the children of 1995 had finished secondary school. The cost to the customer was a few pence per pint. The cost to the system was, in rough order: the glass bottle that was washed and reused hundreds of times, replaced with a plastic bottle that is used once and recycled imperfectly. The local dairy that supplied one town, replaced with a national processor that supplies half the country. The milk that arrived four hours after milking, replaced with milk that arrived three days after milking after a journey of 200 miles. The conversation on the doorstep, replaced with a self-checkout beep. The milkman himself, incidentally, had the lowest recorded rate of heart disease of any male occupation in Britain. He walked approximately 12 miles a day, finished work by 10am, and ate a cooked breakfast. He has been replaced, in the same delivery role, by a zero-hours Amazon Flex driver sitting in a Ford Transit. A small piece of British daily infrastructure was quietly demolished. Nobody was consulted. The milk is still being produced. It is just being produced further away, transported further, kept in plastic, and sold at a different margin, by a different business, to a customer who never sees who milked the cow. The milkman knew your name. The self-checkout does not.

@nummanali I notice how it expands the scope and then burns tokens to time you out. Does anyone think this might be by design to make the S-1 and IPO worth more when going public🤔

@OpenAI I don't get it. Did any version ship with the malicious version 1.14.1 of Axios or not?

OpenAI@OpenAI·
We recently identified a security issue involving the third-party developer library Axios that was part of a broader industry incident. We found no evidence that OpenAI user data was accessed, that our systems were compromised, or that our software was altered. Out of an abundance of caution we are taking steps to protect the process that certifies our macOS applications are legitimate OpenAI apps. We are updating our security certifications, which will require all macOS users to update their OpenAI apps to the latest versions. This helps prevent any risk—however unlikely—of someone attempting to distribute a fake app that appears to be from OpenAI. You can update safely through an in-app update or at the official links below. 🧵

The welfare state isn’t a safety net anymore, it’s a parallel system with better perks. When dependency is consistently cheaper than self-reliance, the system doesn’t support people - it locks them in.

The answer to the young people complaining how well off the older generation are is for their parents and grandparents to change their wills and leave their money to charity. Perhaps then young people would have to work as hard and make sacrifices as their forefathers did.

What are you talking about, 1) Accountancy firms now prefer taking on school leavers on apprenticeships rather than someone out of university. Check out the apprenticeship schemes at Moore Kingston Smith starting salary for an apprenticeship is £24k in 2026, also other firms like PwC. 2) Apprenticeship route is often the smarter, lower risk choice in 2026. It gets you earning, qualified, and experienced faster without debt. 3) I worked and saved from the age of 16 to 28 (12 years) to buy my home. 4) University cons in 2026. Significant debt (£40k to £50k+ including living costs), delayed full earnings, and longer overall time to qualification and higher pay. Apprenticeship advantage for accountancy. Faster to earning + qualifying, no debt, and hands on experience from the start, often leading to comparable or better net financial position by age 23 to 25.

I'm tired of young people blaming pensioners for their own life choices. I skipped university and started working straight after school. Took an apprenticeship at an accountancy firm, they paid for my training. Wages were low, so I worked weekends and evenings as a babysitter for the first 5 years. No holidays, no credit card, no impulse buys. I saved every penny and lived at home with my parents (who weren't rich and didn't bankroll me). Today I'm a fully qualified accountant and bought my first home at 28. I'm still far from retirement age but have achieved what I wanted. Everyone has choices. I chose to grind, delay gratification, and take responsibility for my future, and it worked. Your life, your decisions but don’t blame people that have different choices to yours .

@triffic_stuff_ Totally agree. Proscribing peaceful protest organisations was the final straw for most people. Calling musicians "despicable evil" for opposing genocide is not what anyone expected.

The damage Keir Starmer has done and is doing to Britain cannot be understated. Ex-soldier and Traitors winner Harry Clark just told LBC he would "probably not" fight for the UK in 2026. "Especially how the country is nowadays and how hard it is to live... what am I fighting for?" We no longer stand for freedom and peace like we used to. Starmer has turned Britain into an authoritarian police state, cracking down on protest, free speech, and everyday life while ordinary people struggle. This is what happens when patriotism is destroyed and the country no longer feels worth defending. Resign! 😡

I bought my first home in the early 90s, the mortgage absorbed half of my salary. I had a number of young children, and part-time jobs. I couldn’t afford a car big enough to put pushchairs in. What I didn’t do was sneer about the generation before me. They had also grafted.

Dear boomers, can you afford to buy the house you live in currently with the wage you used to earn before you retired? If you can’t, then that’s the whole housing problem in a nutshell. It really is that simple to understand.

@AlanWilkes16 The houses cost about 10% of current prices so that’s equivalent to 1.6% now. Below base rate
