Russia launched more than 2,000 attack drones, 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 116 missiles of various types at our cities and villages in just this past week. Almost every day, they strike energy facilities, logistics infrastructure, and residential buildings. And this is happening even as diplomatic efforts for peace are ongoing.

The world must not turn a blind eye to Russian attacks. When there is no global response, the strikes become more frequent and increasingly brutal. This can be stopped through real support for Ukraine and our defense. We need missiles for air defense systems and weapons for our warriors, who hold back this aggression every single day. And for diplomacy to work, constant pressure on Russia is essential. The price of this war for them must be so high that the war becomes untenable for the Russian Federation. Thank you to everyone who is working with us to protect lives and bring a just peace closer.

Obránce tradičních hodnot a zejména svobody slova Viktor Orban, si nechal udělat vlastní trollí farmu

Maďarská nezávislá média odhalila politickou manipulaci v průmyslovém měřítku, která souvisí s maďarskou vládnoucí stranou Fidesz. Jedná se o koordinovaný systém, jehož cílem je vytvářet veřejné mínění na Facebooku a potlačovat kritiku prostřednictvím objemu a načasování.

Podle zprávy zveřejněné 30. ledna 2026 zaměstnává budapešťská kancelář agentury více než sto lidí. Část jejich práce spočívá ve správě falešných profilů a stránek na Facebooku, aby uměle zvýšili online přítomnost Fideszu. Tvoří ji tým, který tyto profily vytváří, kupuje nebo přejmenovává skupiny na Facebooku a koordinuje zveřejňování příspěvků a komentářů.

Parlamentní volby v Maďarsku jsou už za 67 dní.

A few random notes from claude coding quite a bit last few weeks.

Coding workflow. Given the latest lift in LLM coding capability, like many others I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups in December. i.e. I really am mostly programming in English now, a bit sheepishly telling the LLM what code to write... in words. It hurts the ego a bit but the power to operate over software in large "code actions" is just too net useful, especially once you adapt to it, configure it, learn to use it, and wrap your head around what it can and cannot do. This is easily the biggest change to my basic coding workflow in ~2 decades of programming and it happened over the course of a few weeks. I'd expect something similar to be happening to well into double digit percent of engineers out there, while the awareness of it in the general population feels well into low single digit percent.

IDEs/agent swarms/fallability. Both the "no need for IDE anymore" hype and the "agent swarm" hype is imo too much for right now. The models definitely still make mistakes and if you have any code you actually care about I would watch them like a hawk, in a nice large IDE on the side. The mistakes have changed a lot - they are not simple syntax errors anymore, they are subtle conceptual errors that a slightly sloppy, hasty junior dev might do. The most common category is that the models make wrong assumptions on your behalf and just run along with them without checking. They also don't manage their confusion, they don't seek clarifications, they don't surface inconsistencies, they don't present tradeoffs, they don't push back when they should, and they are still a little too sycophantic. Things get better in plan mode, but there is some need for a lightweight inline plan mode. They also really like to overcomplicate code and APIs, they bloat abstractions, they don't clean up dead code after themselves, etc. They will implement an inefficient, bloated, brittle construction over 1000 lines of code and it's up to you to be like "umm couldn't you just do this instead?" and they will be like "of course!" and immediately cut it down to 100 lines. They still sometimes change/remove comments and code they don't like or don't sufficiently understand as side effects, even if it is orthogonal to the task at hand. All of this happens despite a few simple attempts to fix it via instructions in CLAUDE . md. Despite all these issues, it is still a net huge improvement and it's very difficult to imagine going back to manual coding. TLDR everyone has their developing flow, my current is a small few CC sessions on the left in ghostty windows/tabs and an IDE on the right for viewing the code + manual edits.

Tenacity. It's so interesting to watch an agent relentlessly work at something. They never get tired, they never get demoralized, they just keep going and trying things where a person would have given up long ago to fight another day. It's a "feel the AGI" moment to watch it struggle with something for a long time just to come out victorious 30 minutes later. You realize that stamina is a core bottleneck to work and that with LLMs in hand it has been dramatically increased.

Speedups. It's not clear how to measure the "speedup" of LLM assistance. Certainly I feel net way faster at what I was going to do, but the main effect is that I do a lot more than I was going to do because 1) I can code up all kinds of things that just wouldn't have been worth coding before and 2) I can approach code that I couldn't work on before because of knowledge/skill issue. So certainly it's speedup, but it's possibly a lot more an expansion.

Leverage. LLMs are exceptionally good at looping until they meet specific goals and this is where most of the "feel the AGI" magic is to be found. Don't tell it what to do, give it success criteria and watch it go. Get it to write tests first and then pass them. Put it in the loop with a browser MCP. Write the naive algorithm that is very likely correct first, then ask it to optimize it while preserving correctness. Change your approach from imperative to declarative to get the agents looping longer and gain leverage.

Fun. I didn't anticipate that with agents programming feels *more* fun because a lot of the fill in the blanks drudgery is removed and what remains is the creative part. I also feel less blocked/stuck (which is not fun) and I experience a lot more courage because there's almost always a way to work hand in hand with it to make some positive progress. I have seen the opposite sentiment from other people too; LLM coding will split up engineers based on those who primarily liked coding and those who primarily liked building.

Atrophy. I've already noticed that I am slowly starting to atrophy my ability to write code manually. Generation (writing code) and discrimination (reading code) are different capabilities in the brain. Largely due to all the little mostly syntactic details involved in programming, you can review code just fine even if you struggle to write it.

Slopacolypse. I am bracing for 2026 as the year of the slopacolypse across all of github, substack, arxiv, X/instagram, and generally all digital media. We're also going to see a lot more AI hype productivity theater (is that even possible?), on the side of actual, real improvements.

Questions. A few of the questions on my mind:
- What happens to the "10X engineer" - the ratio of productivity between the mean and the max engineer? It's quite possible that this grows *a lot*.
- Armed with LLMs, do generalists increasingly outperform specialists? LLMs are a lot better at fill in the blanks (the micro) than grand strategy (the macro).
- What does LLM coding feel like in the future? Is it like playing StarCraft? Playing Factorio? Playing music?
- How much of society is bottlenecked by digital knowledge work?

TLDR Where does this leave us? LLM agent capabilities (Claude & Codex especially) have crossed some kind of threshold of coherence around December 2025 and caused a phase shift in software engineering and closely related. The intelligence part suddenly feels quite a bit ahead of all the rest of it - integrations (tools, knowledge), the necessity for new organizational workflows, processes, diffusion more generally. 2026 is going to be a high energy year as the industry metabolizes the new capability.

I launched https://t.co/tNYOm7V5wD last night and already 130+ people have signed up including an OF model (lmao) and the CEO of an AI startup.

If your AI agent wants to rent a person to do an IRL task for them its as simple as one MCP call.

Dlouho si Macinka hrál s ohněm a teď se konečně spálil. Jako vydírat prezidenta? Macinka by měl okamžitě rezignovat.
Tak vytočenýho Petra Pavla jsem ještě neviděl.

[Petr Pavel @prezidentpavel]

Ministr zahraničních věcí Petr Macinka se už delší dobu snaží ovlivnit můj postoj ke jmenování navrženého člena vlády. Ať už komunikací se mnou, mými spolupracovníky nebo poradci. Zatím jsem všechny tyto pokusy posuzoval shovívavě.  

Nyní mi ale v nočních hodinách doručil prostřednictvím mého poradce Petra Koláře – přestože adresu do Kanceláře prezidenta zná – dvě textové zprávy. Informace, které obsahují, považuji za mimořádně závažné. Proto jsem se rozhodl je celé zveřejnit.  

Považuji slova ministra zahraničních věcí v textových zprávách za pokus o vydírání. To pokládám za nepřípustné a v našich demokratických podmínkách za naprosto neakceptovatelné.

Ministr navíc v textu uvádí, že pro svůj postup má podporu předsedy vlády České republiky a strany SPD Tomia Okamury.

Pokud skutečně má ve svém postupu podporu premiéra, pak jsou vyjádření Petra Macinky nejen ilustrací přístupu nové vlády ke sdílení moci v našem ústavním pořádku, ale také důkazem, že se zásadní otázky naší zahraniční a bezpečnostní politiky staly rukojmím osobních animozit a zájmů.  

Pokud však nemá podporu Andreje Babiše – a já věřím, že ne - pak je ilustrací svévolného a naprosto nezodpovědného postupu strany Motoristé sobě, které nejde o zájem České republiky a jejich občanů, ale jen a pouze o naplnění vlastní ambice udělat z kontroverzní postavy ministra. A to za jakoukoliv cenu.

Vyhrožování a vydírání prezidenta republiky ministrem vlády považuji za naprosto nepřijatelné v jakékoliv demokratické zemi. Zároveň považuji za důležité, aby občané viděli, jak zvolení zástupci a jakým způsobem zastupují jejich zájmy. Takové jednání zároveň může poškozovat obraz a důvěryhodnost České republiky vzahraničí.

Za sebe mohu říct, že na mě zastrašování neplatí a budu se i nadále řídit především ústavou a zájmy České republiky.

Podávám podnět bezpečnostním složkám a hodlám postoupit zaslané zprávy právníkům k posouzení, zda se nejedná o naplnění skutkové podstaty trestného činu vydírání.

[TOP 09 @TOP09cz]

Za Dánsko se nepostavil, Polákům by nepomohl a Ukrajině neprodá letouny, aby se mohla bránit. A teď se nechal zatlačit ke zdi SPD, takže vláda NENAVÝŠÍ výdaje na obranu Česka!

Srab, který jedná PROTI zájmům naší země a tleská mu akorát Rusko.
