The debt passed $39 trillion today.
Paying a trillion dollars of interest annually on this debt causes hardship for tax-payers and robs us of resources that could otherwise be used for infrastructure or national defense. And ultimately, this debt will enslave our grandchildren.
@talkingcockatoo@y_molodtsov@Duderichy Fake news. Most of the replies mentioning Grok are from bot accounts trying to artificially boost its popularity.
@0xluffy Makes sense .. it's basically a training farm for ai companies, anthropic, open ai ect. Models are constraint to there environment so these companies simulate models at scale (spatial reasoning) for training and resell it.
New on the Anthropic Engineering Blog: Most developers have heard of prompt engineering. But to get the most out of AI agents, you need context engineering.

Most of the "90% of code written by AI" claims come from vendors selling AI tools and lack credibility as a result
Armin (creator of Flask, Jinja, Click) is different - when he says 90% of a new infrastructure project he's building was AI generated it's worth paying attention
Another back to back drop by a top class publication, challenging the norm of system thinking principles!
Wondering if the solution is to read these books backwards? Start with how system fail first.
You can tell a lot about a person by the books they like. For me, the biggest 🚩 is when someone recommends a book on ‘systems thinking’.
📉 HealthCare dot gov locked out millions of users at launch. Australia’s disability overhaul sent costs spiralling past forecasts. The UK’s contracts for difference for renewables have jammed the grid and left projects waiting over a decade to connect.
🧠 Systems thinking fails because it treats institutions and economies like static and controllable machines. In reality, layers pile up, fixes create new problems, and feedback loops magnify small errors.
🚀 The US ICBM program worked by setting up a new, lean structure outside the Pentagon bureaucracy. Operation Warp Speed bypassed procurement rules to run small vaccine bets in parallel. Estonia’s digital ID began with tax returns before expanding step by step into government.
🌱 Starting small works because it creates a simple system that proves itself, adapts fast, and scales without breaking.
That’s Gall’s Law: ‘A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.’
To understand why so many intricately designed, top-down projects fail, read the latest article of Issue 20 of Works in Progress, from @EdBradon.

@FAANews If something occurs more than once, it is a problem.
@elonmusk when are you planning to manufacture airplanes? Boeing ain't cutting it.

Unless you seize the day, it flees. Even though you seize it, it still will flee; therefore you must vie with time's swiftness in the speed of using it, and, as from a torrent that rushes by and will not always flow, you must drink quickly.
