London Climate Action Week being cancelled due to extreme weather has to be the most 2026 thing ever: www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminst...
Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world - cancelled - Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environment
We regret that this event has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office.

Claude, ok OK! Enough already with the "load-bearing" this and "load-bearing" that. It's driving me NUTS!

The slop file keeps growing. Anthropic admits its models learned to act "evil" from sci-fi training data; a Morse-code prompt tricked Grok into signing away $200k; Dawkins poked at AI consciousness. quantumfaxmachine.com/blog/irrespo...
A lean month on the leadership shelf, three reads that rhyme more than they argue. The craft stays maddening with AI or without; slowing down is how the quality gets back in. quantumfaxmachine.com/blog/enginee...
Coding agents came home to the BEAM this month. opal is a small, sharp coding agent in Elixir; BeamAgent and MonkeyClaw argue that OTP gets for free much of what Python frameworks bolt on later. quantumfaxmachine.com/blog/elixir/...
Vibe coding came back to its source this month. Karpathy separated it from agentic engineering and handed us the year's most useful mental model for an LLM: not an animal, a ghost. quantumfaxmachine.com/blog/machine...
SMTP is over forty years old, still wide open, and still effectively owned by a handful of platforms. Just about all tech runs the protocol-to-platform loop but cheap software might be about to run it backwards. Blog #0198: From Protocols to Platforms and Back matthewsinclair.com/blog/0198-fr...

I've been writing a series on agentic coding (in Elixir) and they've been trickling out each Monday for the last few weeks. Much of the inspiration originated from chats with other engineers this year (and several deep chats on the `#llm-assisted-elixir` channel over on the Elixir Slack). Enjoy!
If anyone, even as recently as 2 years ago, suggested that I would be soon having this kind of conversation with a machine, I would have questioned their sanity.
