Australia's under-16 social media ban isn't working as multiple studies now find most underage users still have accounts. My post on the uncomfortable reality for Canada's Bill C-34: the better the privacy protection, the less effective the ban.

my first exit 🥺

been a long time running, pod taught me what being too early to the market means and how damn hard it is to change developer workflow. the fact we still got folks walking around with laptop lids open for coding agents and dev happening locally saddens me.

there’s some great engs and product folks at ona so in all a great end home/destination for the kumquats.

Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days.

Our thoughts on the importance of AI sovereignty.

1. Your AI sovereignty dictates your institution’s future. Sovereignty is the precondition for choice. Relinquishing sovereignty transfers the future choices of your institution to others, who are likely to exploit it for their gain and your loss.

2. Data retention is your treasure. Transfer it at your own peril. Your ability to win is dictated by your ability to recognize and use your unique edges, and you keep winning by compounding the underlying data to generate new insights. Transferring that data hands over access to your pre-existing winning plays and yields the means of production for new ones.

3. Tokenmaxxing hijacks your value orientation and decreases your institutional fortitude and intelligence. The pursuit of high token usage incentivizes disposable scripts over robust software — with the addictive feeling of false progress. There is a reason why those selling tokens refuse to charge based on value.

4. Controlling your weights is controlling your fate. Weights are the distilled form of hard-won, accumulated institutional knowledge. If you let others control your weights, you are allowing them to migrate the alpha of your business to theirs.

5. There is no contradiction between sovereignty and alpha. The architecture that maximally preserves sovereignty is one that enables institutions to own their tribal knowledge, and to compound it as alpha.

6. Politicizing the technical issues involving sovereignty is what your adversary wants. Techno-politicization is the wellspring of false sovereignty. Techno-politicization drives decisions that seem to reduce dependency, but ultimately limit agency — especially on the battlefield in the West.

7. Real expertise is existential. Allowing politics or favoritism to determine your technical decisions rewards whoever is best at politics, not whoever is right. Listen to those closest to the problems, not those speaking most compellingly about them.

8. Learn from institutions that are winning or that have consistently delivered. Institutions facing existential threats do not have the luxury of making technical decisions based on political preferences.

9. Only listen to institutions, countries, and people who have a proven record of being right. A track record of correctness is the best and only signal for future correctness. Judging something as right or wrong based on who you like is exceedingly misguided.

Love Qwen3.6-27B? NVIDIA just dropped the ultra-efficient NVFP4 version!

For anyone who wants to run Qwen3.6-27B but doesn't have the VRAM to spare, NVIDIA just published their official NVFP4 quantized build on Hugging Face.

The major upgrade here is the NVFP4 4-bit float format, which delivers huge VRAM savings by shrinking the model to about a third of the size of the standard BF16 weights.

Google Cloud's Open Knowledge Format is an open, vendor-neutral way to package the context AI systems need, as plain markdown files any model or agent can read: https://t.co/7tFd0JNQIJ

NEW paper worth reading.

Reasoning-data curation is expensive because scoring a trace usually means reading it to the end. This new work from UCLA shows you may not have to. The quality of a reasoning trace is largely decided in its opening tokens, so a short prefix predicts whole-trace quality well enough to rank and filter on.

What this means?

You can score a million traces without finishing any of them. That turns curation into a cheap early-stopping problem and cuts the cost of building SFT data for reasoning models by a wide margin.

Making web giants pay is over. In its place, we’ve got a reversal of the CRTC streaming decision, mandatory metadata retention, a social media ban, and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada no longer enforcing private sector privacy law. What just happened?

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5, our most agentic Sonnet yet.

It makes plans, uses tools like browsers and terminals, and runs autonomously at a level that just a few months ago required larger and more expensive models.

Hermes Agent + Mixture of Agents is insane

one agent is good. multiple agents working together is a different game

If you want to add a navigation trail to your own chat app, the new MessageScroller component has the hooks you need out of the box. Look for:

const { currentAnchorId, visibleMessageIds } = useMessageScrollerVisibility()

[Suganthan Mohanadasan @suganthan]

Every SEO/GEO has the same advice for showing up in ChatGPT. Good content, listicles, post on Reddit.

I wanted to know if any of it actually works, so I spent a few days reading ChatGPT's raw network traffic instead of taking it on trust.

It tags every source as 1 of 4 pipelines, never touches the web on some questions, and on a pricing comparison it gave up on a vendor's JS loaded pricing page and cited a competitor instead.

Full writeup, with the traffic 👇
