NEW POST

Conversations with AI are ephemeral, decisions made early lose attention as the conversation continues, and disappear entirely with a new session. @techygarg explains how to externalize the decision context into a living document.

Kubernetes 1.36 launches April 22, marking a major shift in networking as Ingress-NGINX retires in favor of the more scalable Gateway API.

Key updates include bolstered Linux user namespaces for better isolation and Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) enhancements for hardware maintenance.

We need new societal rules and likely new laws for AI agents acting on behalf of humans in the real world.

There needs to be accountability, a shared code of conduct, and some basic common sense when releasing agents into the wild.

To be clear: I'm a techno-optimist and I believe AI belongs in everyday life and that technological progress should continue.

AI should be built and especially deployed responsibly.

Releasing systems that can touch real infrastructure, private emails, phone numbers, financial accounts, or machines is serious, especially when done carelessly and at that point, you are delegating real power, often while hiding behind the identity of an agent.

That kind of power requires accountability.

We're starting to see more people deploy agents with limited experience, weak operational discipline, and no ownership over outcomes. It's funny until it isn't.

We need clear responsibility for agent actions.
We need traceability of who deployed what and with which permissions.
We need liability when agents cause harm.
We need guardrails that scale with capability.

Vibe responsibly!

@teodos @NoahRyanCo More comfort, more problems 😂

[Noah Ryan @NoahRyanCo]

Think of all the most innovative cultures. What do they all have in common? Cold seasons.

You cannot afford to be lazy in a cold, seasonal climate:

- You can’t live impulsively. If you don’t stock food or plan winter shelter, you’re dead
- You must cooperate, or you’re dead
- You must delay gratification, or you’re dead
- You must create tools, preserve food and build storage systems, or you’re dead

Lazy, shortsighted behavior is punishable by death. Cognitive load increases and forward thinking becomes a selective breeding trait.

The closer to the equator you are, the less change there is. Resource abundance and constant climate mean no pressure to innovate, no long-term planning requirements. Warmth means comfort and comfort means complacency (biologically speaking).

Seasonal cognition is what led to the invention of calendars, agriculture and scheduling. The environmental force that paved the way for:

- Industrial revolutions
- Scientific method
- Modern infrastructure

Innovation thrives where the future is uncertain and immediate gratification is punished. Future orientation is an environmental phenomenon.
