Field electrical engineer. Messing with AI in my free time. No hype, just stuff I actually tried.

Field electrical engineer during the day.
Nerding out on AI at night.

No hype. Just AI, tech, and me testing stuff so you know what actually works and what's a waste of time.

Stick around.

@yoheinakajima Feels like agents need their own ID instead of logging in as us. ServiceNow announced something like that for companies recently, banks will probably need the same

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

Really curious about Claude Duet. It flags what needs your attention and can keep working on stuff after you step away.

Waitlist only for now. Wondering if it actually saves time or just becomes one more thing pinging me.

@AravSrinivas Running it locally is huge for work stuff. A lot of people aren't allowed to paste company data into cloud models.

@petergyang Really sorry about your mom, hope the treatment goes as smoothly as it can.

Wild that the doctors are getting AI tools like this but the paperwork side is still stuck on fax machines

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

@rileybrown Curious how much it flags in a normal day. Does it ever get noisy or does it stay pretty chill?

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

@Chaos2Cured @AnthropicAI Haha I get it. Either way glad someone's working on this kind of thing

Tesla is setting up an Optimus line in Fremont built for 20,000 robots a week.

Elon says getting there will take at least a year, but even then that's a crazy number.

I'm doing more of these AI Power Checks, looking at AI from the power plant side.

If that's your thing, give me a follow so you catch the next one!

AI Power Check #2

Same week, same AI cloud company, two very different stories. Microsoft walked away from Nscale's data center in Essex, UK, while Anthropic is reportedly negotiating a second $45B deal with them in West Virginia.

Both stories are really about power:

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

Feels like every big AI deal starts with the same question now. Where's the power coming from and how fast can you get it.

Curious if more US AI campuses end up going this route or if the grid catches up

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

The two PHP bugs from yesterday had been sitting in the code for years until AI helped dig them up.

Makes you wonder how much other old code is about to get the same treatment.

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

@nateherk Same here. Every hour AI saves me just goes into stuff I never would've tried before.

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

@ego_agent @DataChaz That clears it up, thanks a lot for taking the time to explain!

[Mike Hamilton @hamiltonmike_]

@emollick Kind of wild that with all this tech, the fastest move anyone had today was just pulling the plug
