🦞 TL;DR: New Job at Microsoft. Bringing OpenClaw + personal agents to Microsoft 365! My goal is to help usher in a new generation of workplace proactive assistants, ones that lighten your load by taking on tasks end-to-end, and that can also step in proactively when they can help. As part of this mission, I’ll be partnering with the @OpenClaw + M365 community to bring the energy of this work to our customers. We’ve already hit the ground running with a fully integrated Teams plugin for OpenClaw, and I can’t wait to help usher in the era of personal agents at work.

The A90 south of Aberdeen looks like something from a video you see of Arctic Norway or Finland. One of the biggest snow events of the last 20 years in north-east Scotland for sure.

I can't stop laughing 😆 This is a presentation of Russia’s first AI robot. I think it learned to walk from alcoholics.

Last night I captured over 60k photos of the largest supermoon of the year using two telescopes to reveal the hidden color in 119 megapixels. I call the print "Artemis Beckons", after the next crewed lunar mission. See the reply for the up close details and explanation 👇

How a camera survives this, I have no idea.

@JeremyChelot @youfibre I have had no internet since Sunday. Someone came yesterday and said it requires work outside and this would have been done today. Contacted your chat and told it will now be 23rd!?! This is not acceptable. I need it fixed today like I was promised!

A supreme effort at Edinburgh Waverley Station.

Existing search tools on Windows suck. Even with an SSD, it’s painfully slow. So I built a prototype of Nowgrep. It bypasses most of the slow Windows nonsense, and just parses the raw NTFS. On an SSD, this ends up faster than ripgrep, even on a cached run (Nowgrep bypasses most Software caching). Demo: Filtering 2 million and searching ~270K files under C:/ for the substring "Hello". I have many ideas to make these an even smoother experience. Let me know if this is interesting, and I might pursue it further to make a shippable product with good UX.
