@BigDemoPrez I want a Peggy

@JoannaStern I once watched the media consultant for an opposing campaign cutting an ad on the Amtrak in the row in front of me

@jxnlco It would be awesome to be able to use the in app browser on a remote session. E.g. when I’m using my MacBook to remote into my Mac mini I currently have to use a skill and Tailscale to be able to use the browser.

[Daniel Ensign @danielensign]

@toddsaunders Oh and when doing frontend web work, open it in the in-app browser and go nuts annotating to give feedback on the website

[Daniel Ensign @danielensign]

@toddsaunders Recurring tasks have been a game changer. Way more reliable than Claude routines. I have it running a COS bot, checking GitHub status for commits from a coworker and pinging me with updates.

These two renderings of a potential "reimagined" East Potomac Park appear in a fundraising document distributed by the new "National Garden of American Heroes Foundation."

It's unclear to what degree these (very AI-looking) images represent Tom Fazio's actual plans for the golf course, but I think they reveal some important things about the Trump administration's intentions at East Potomac:

1) The new "championship" golf course would take up most of the island. This would mean losing the perimeter road and bike path, the open space at the southern tip of the island, and perhaps even the famous cherry blossom trees, which feature prominently in an annual festival. These non-golf resources at East Potomac Park are used heavily by D.C. residents.

2) Building a bigger course would also mean reducing the number of available golf holes at the facility, likely from 36 to 18, as well as eliminating a historic, recently restored mini-golf course. Inevitably, this would make golf in D.C. less accessible, especially to beginning golfers.

3) Green fees for East Potomac's Blue Course currently top out at $48. There's no way the number would stay there post-reno.

4) The whole nouveau-riche, water-feature-centric aesthetic shown in the renderings is very much in line with Fazio's past work, but not at all representative of East Potomac's historical character and purpose.

5) The administration and the President himself have been open about their hopes to bring a major championship or Ryder Cup to the renovated East Potomac. I think it would be tremendously difficult to stage a tournament of that scale on this island, even after the reno. It does not appear to me that there's enough room.

So sad for DC. So many good memories at East Po

NEWS: East Potomac Golf is expected to shut down on Sunday after the last tee time as the Trump administration officially takes it over.

Renovations will start at a later date once compliance has been met. Tom Fazio expected to lead the renovation.

Additionally, the admin has offered the National Links Trust a renewed lease for Rock Creek Park Golf with a waiver for unpaid rent.

Shutting down a public golf course at the start of the season to make way for Fazio

@toddsaunders Get @AreTeePharb there

@jordan_ross_8F hermes

[Daniel Ensign @danielensign]

@JeffEisenband Gotta be @therealmcnair

[Daniel Ensign @danielensign]

@pashmerepat Will some of these improvements show up with other tools like Hermes down the line?

@toddsaunders I'm finding myself switching back and forth between different models in the CLI + Codex app (though rarely Claude app). It's definitely tedious, and now I need a more powerful computer, but it works.

Though a catchall would be great...

We built an AI phone agent that books appointments for a flooring company. Real calls, real customers.

After every call, a second AI reviews the full transcript against the playbook and suggests improvements.

On our first test call, it caught something subtle. The agent verbally confirmed a corrected email address but still passed the original (wrong) one to the booking system. The caller thought it was fixed. It wasn't.

The review flagged it and proposed a fix. No one asked it to look for that.

This is what a self-learning system actually looks like. Not "AI that gets smarter" in some vague way. A concrete loop: the phone agent handles the call, the reviewer finds the gap, a human approves the fix, the next caller gets a better experience.

I'm not an engineer. I built this entire system working with Claude, including designing how the feedback loop would work. The AI writes the code, I make the product decisions focused on what the desired outcome is.

Interested in building something similar for your business? reach out.

[Daniel Ensign @danielensign]

@toddsaunders Great opportunity for having your projects learn from itself and fix things automatically. Building a phone agent for a flooring company, and I have a routine reviewing every call to optimize the prompt to make sure we are our intended outcome.

[Daniel Ensign @danielensign]

@toddsaunders Probably LVP though…

@JJEnglert Did the same thing for prepping my taxes. And then when my CPA sent back my return, used it to validate the draft and caught two small errors.
