really cannot be overstated how profoundly important tonight has been for the course of american history. huge swings. huge wins. republicans conceding without a fight. the trump aura is *broken.* democracy wins. what a sea change from where we were in january 2025. 🌊🇺🇸🌊🇺🇸🌊🇺🇸

RESULT: Democrats have flipped control of the local government in Hillsborough County, a populous county in Florida that's home to Tampa. They had to sweep all four commission seats on the board, and they have.

Official statement from incoming chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform @robertgarcia.house.gov:

So after testing Unit tests made with AI: Next to useless Prop testing: Good Having the agent use and live test each function: Good Fuzzing and mutation testing: Good

She's got the golden touch ✨ Ashley Sanchez is your 2026 NWSL Golden Boot winner!

THE GOLDEN BOOT WINNER 🤩 Congratulations on a record-breaking, 20 goal season, Ashley Sanchez!

Yann LeCun and Randall Balestriero just Proved the Platonic Representation Hypothesis and found a better way to achieve it. Their text only JEPA got the same image-text alignment with 42x fewer training samples than NTP, using the same text data! Read more about it: www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2610.39302

DSH Superagent an agent built on top of DeepSeek Harness that’s meant to stay out of the way, do work only according to team rules (e.g. pickup new bugs) github.com/deepseek-ai/...

Two things are true: 1. Claims about AI capabilities are overblown 2. AI has completely revolutionized software development, and will do the same to many other fields I'm a software developer by trade. I'm going to attempt to explain what this revolution feels like "from the inside".

I had a boss once who looked me in the eye and, quite literally, told me: "I'm the boss. You're the flunky. When I say you jump, you jump." I jumped right out the door 10 minutes later, and never looked back. Don't tolerate bullies. It's not worth it.

I read a lot of stuff where somebody lamenting the "chaos" at the end of the Sprint turns around and advocates two-week waterfall development with a fully fleshed-out upfront spec as the solution. 1/7

arxiv.org/abs/2610.34073 been sayin this; straightforward naive RAG search over a corpus reliably outperforms complex memory systems, with summarization, fact extraction, dreaming etc mostly hurting rather than improving effectiveness

Memory Tax: Dissecting the Net Value of Agent Memory

Memory is increasingly used in long-horizon agents, yet the net value of building memory over direct retrieval from raw history remains largely unclear. Through a large-scale evaluation across multipl...

The USYNT knock out two-time reigning champions Spain to advance to the U-17 Women's World Cup quarterfinals where they'll face back-to-back reigning champs North Korea 🇺🇸👏

FULL TIME at U-17 Women's World Cup: USA 2, Spain 1 It is, especially at U17 level, an upset in the round of 16. Two-time champion Spain is heading home. USWNT is heading to the quarterfinals vs. North Korea (reigning back-to-back champ). Maddie DiMaria's 12th goal of the tourney is the winner.

your reminder that deepseek v4.1 flash is uniquely based and innovative, way beyond most other models imo some of the things i do are only possible in the first place simply because the architecture is so well-designed

mr. TIM@timkellogg.me · 6d ago

whoah, apparently DeepSeek V4.1-Flash has only 4 KV-producing layers out of 40 total layers. The rest share KV cache, so substantially reduced memory utilization & compute! to support 1M context, it only requires 0.9 GB(!!) for a 552B model comparison: Qwen 3 8B needs 144 GB

I'm *super* enjoying herdr as a terminal multiplexer that just happens to have some agent integration and worktree management, but otherwise doesn't care

Herdr: the runtime coding agents run on

Run them anywhere. Leave them running. Herdr holds real terminals open so your agents keep working when you close the laptop, and gets you back in from any tty.

I helped build Elephant-Goldfish Model at Google. Take an idea through design, independent review, and code with AI agents. Try it and let me know how it goes: egm.dev (Built at Google, not officially supported by Google.)

Elephant-Goldfish Model

Open-source plugin for spec-driven development with AI coding agents. Deep-context agents draft the design, and zero-context subagents stress-test it before you write code.

Golden Boot Race as of NWSL week 26 👀

Charlyn Corral is named Striker of the Year 🇲🇽 The 4x Liga MX Femenil Golden Boot winner and 3x Player of the Year has just made history as the first Mexican woman to win an award at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. The 35-year-old Pachuca striker is a legend of the game 👏

The past few days I have been running the Flint model by Recursive. Keeping to the constraints, single agent, clear tasks, using 'rec', and running in Pi: it is much faster than Qwen 3.8 27B and so far no major issues. I am keeping it as my local, fast coder model. recursive.com/updates/intr...

"actually run the damn thing for its intended use and fix what breaks" fucking works great for ai coding

🔌 I have released the Claude Code and Codex plugins I have used to write all software (mostly for Apple platforms) for the last year. There is a Universal plugin, and an Apple Platforms plugin that builds on it.

If you want to see how things should be done, take a look at Valve Corp. (The Valve New Employee Handbook is a must-read [https://t.ly/pbBIj].) Valve is a $5B-annual-revenue company with about 500 people. (That revenue-to-people ratio alone should get you thinking. 4/8
