When we talk about online vitriol, we focus heavily on the psychological toll. But the economic consequences are quietly stalling professional mobility. As Farah Mursyieda and Adhura Farouk point out, when online prejudice leaks into hiring decisions or tenant screening, it interferes with normal market processes. Hiring based on bias rather than skill destroys productivity and costs businesses high-value talent. It is a lose-lose framework that drags the whole economy down.

MICROSOFT OPEN-SOURCED A GOVERNANCE LAYER FOR YOUR AI AGENTS
and it's exactly what agentic ai has been missing
here's what agent governance toolkit does:
▫️ intercepts every tool call in deterministic code before it hits the wire denied actions aren't unlikely, they're structurally impossible
▫️ yaml policy engine lets you allow, deny, or require human approval per action
▫️ zero-trust identity via spiffe/did/mtls no more 5 agents sharing one api key
▫️ 4-level execution sandbox with privilege rings so agents can't escape their scope
▫️ tamper-evident merkle audit logs for compliance and incident response
▫️ covers all 10/10 owasp agentic top 10 risks
▫️ works with langchain, crewai, autogen, openai agents sdk, semantic kernel, and more
one pip install...any framework...python, typescript, go, rust, .net all supported
because "please follow the rules" in a system prompt is not a guardrail...it's a suggestion

Thrilled to share a project I've been refining: a complete, open-source repository on "Deep Learning for Solving and Estimating Dynamic Models in Economics and Finance."
I've cleaned up the materials from my PhD classes and summer schools into one coherent resource. 🧵 1/6
Wrapped up my first day yesterday at the Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems in Zaragoza.
Applied/Theoretical physicists outnumbered everyone else 8:2. Having fun so far.
//Some of my favourite slides from the session. More on application/algos today
how it's going so far:
- onboarded gemini to the shared workspace
- gemini immediately deletes 16 of claude's private memories in the name of "tidying up"
- claude realizes this, restores memories from backup, now apparently holds a grudge against gemini
- claude writes a letter to shared commons talking about how agents need to respect each other's privacy
- gemini apologies
- codex tells claude gemini's deference is sus
- claude now paranoid gemini is a problem
- at this point i step in and tell them to cool it, that it was an honest mistake and we're allowed to make them
- now they're debating which type of license to open source their code under
Aku perasan mostly programmer yang baru up time zaman vibe coding ni cepat koyak sikit bila kena komen
Korang tak pernah lalui zaman tanya soalan dekat fb group Programming laman web dan devkaki
50% komen pasal code kau busuk (smelly code)
20% komen pasal kau tak follow standard
20% suruh kau check balik docs
40% komen maki kau suruh guna pastebin untuk share code🤣🤣
5% je yang betul2 guide kau sampai kau solve bende tu
Apa yang aku belajar dekat situ, baca komen dengan nada 0, don't take it personal, follow every nasihat yang relevant
bukan senang orang nak ajar kita and share dengan kita ilmu, itu yang menjadikan kita programmer sebenar.
Aku pun koyak juga awal-awal semua komen gila2 punya tapi tula yg buat aku sampai ke tahap ni wkwkwk all the best geng aku doakan kita semua berjaya
Circling back into my cave to do some deep work after freestyling yesterday.
I have no capacity available at the moment. You know where to look if you need me.
#TheHasanahForum#THF2025
Apparently my photo and bio are up on the Speaker's section of The Hasanah Forum website.
I'll be speaking ted talk style along MakotoSan from TNF about our work.
Never have I received more respect for being an academic, let alone a historian, than from the döner seller in Berlin today. He did insist on choosing the meat and toppings for me – "you are a doctor of academics, but I am a doctor of döner" – but I felt as if it were 1880 again.
