Several times this past month, @DavidSacks hinted (bragged?) that he has access to some great new feature @grok will publish soon. It will "be a game changer," and it's coming soon, but he can't tell you about it now. Mentioned on @theallinpod. Now this week, Grok released two important features: - Connectors for Gmail, G Calendar, custom stuff - Skill templates But this is very funny because David himself does not use @openclaw or any third-party tools which access his own email account. He doesn't trust them. And he will only wait until Gmail itself creates their own tool to access that Gmail. All mentioned on The Pod.

Back in the 90s, when you were at the computer you would login to AOL Instant Messenger and your status was published to friends as "online". Here's a screenshot from @DaveTaylor showing the green/red status dots. Your friends would know you are available. It was your "open house" hours. You could expect to chat with any friends until you set to "away" and left a message. Anybody could lurk those status messages without having to interact with you, and that is the basis for tweets. 👍 I like the 150-person buddy limit. 👍 I like knowing when my friends are available to chat. 👍 I like knowing if a message is inviting interaction now, or you'll be AFK for a bit Does any of that appeal to you?

GitHub cost me $253 last month. But under the new billing regime this same usage will bill at $2,000+. Good. Double it again. And stop nerfing my Opus.

Did you ever try to make a competitor to iCloud and integrate it deep into the OS so that file sync will work and you can do background processing? I did. But Apple makes it impossible (without jailbreaking). Apple uses its monopoly in one product to deny competition across multiple valuable markets. blog.phor.net/apple-antitrus…

Help me get better at PPC! I used to be great at this but it hasn't been a priority for a few years and I need start over as a noob. - Who should I talk with? - What event to attend? - What videos?

Here's how to improve software supply chain security. COMMON PRACTICE: - Add a dependency to your project - This dependency is pinned to author/publisher - When that author/publisher publishes an update, your tools inject that into your software (like a rootkit) BEST PRACTICE: - Add a dependency to your project - Select "endorsers" for that dependency who actually read and attest to that source code and its updates - When any of your endorsers propose an update, you see which endorsers agree, and any notes they attach BUT UNFORTUNATELY: - Tooling doesn't exist for this best practice - You must manually reverse-scan to find entities you trust to do computer science properly who have adopted the new version

When you are looking for something, first meditate on where it is supposed to be. Bam! You've just solved 99% of the findings of that thing in your lifetime.

@Mappy6984 SV_GRAVITY 30?

Elon needs to see this

Lists are very effective. They give you permanent permission to delegate your most important thing to "later".

@kargarisaac No. I don't see much difference when I update my instructions. But in general having the four agents does provide a notable boost in all thinking tasks. Specifically getting 100+ sources, and avoiding hallucinating.

@fulldecent Have you found any setup where the extra agents consistently improve final answers?

In LLM you can set system instructions for the bot you chat with. In Grok you get four agents and you can set personalities for each of them and have them PK. In Grok heavy you get 16 agents that battle each other. Here is the basic settings I am using. For others running multiple agents, what have you tried?

News flash, in 2026 so far there have been: - 4,000 politically motivated killings in Israel's neighborhood - 20k+ politically motivated killings in Ukraine/Russia

@EleanorTerrett @SenThomTillis @Sen_Alsobrooks "Our compromise prohibits stablecoin rewards from resembling interest on bank deposits..." lol, just like they stopped credit card rewards from resembling fungible crypto tokens lol, just like they stopped Ethereum's "earn compounding rewards" Pectra

🚨NEW: Joint statement from @SenThomTillis and @Sen_Alsobrooks on the stablecoin yield compromise amid pushback from banking trades, signaling the deal is likely final. "…we respectfully agree to disagree."

@WisecWisec @lcamtuf Only in SQLite

@lcamtuf I am quite surprised that in 2026 there’s no set of regression tests representing all the sec issues from the past that could be used against the new code.

But do you know what coreutils are a fertile ground for? Race conditions around file creation, deletion, permission setting, and so on. The original code accounted for decades of hard-learned lessons in that space. The Rust rewrite did not: seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q…

In the past weeks, @GitHubCopilot raised the cost of the latest Claude model from 3x to 7.5x and now 15x. So I just raise my premium request limit and keep going! --- When Microsoft realizes this is a revenue generator rather than a cost cutter they will start releasing these features: - Parallel execution groups - First-party self-hosted browser automation - Opus for commit reviews

@ppcbz Wrong! You just finished turning what you did one time 41 days ago into a 41-day streak!

didnt go to the gym yesterday and broke a 41 day streak 😭
