Was it "bring your kids to work" day at Microsoft recently?

@Wayland_Six @NousResearch You urgently need a different project name, or to at least stop actively avoiding mentioning who you aren't in important places like your web site and bio.

@NousResearch @karpathy I'm finding the single wiki config per instance limiting. I have multiple wikis for quite different topics. Config should be at agent and/or directory level. I already map telegram topics to context directories separately.

[Roger Barnes @mindsocket]

@NousResearch @karpathy I like it! I'm finding the (expected) differences in interpretation of @karpathy 's guidance interesting. I've built flexible but deterministic schema validation with llm skills. I'm working on integrating these as complementary to other skills. https://t.co/z6xcKiQGQp

@amix3k I genuinely don't know what I'd use an activity log for, so not sure what to ask for. Most of the things I need relate to clarifying intent, prioritising in context & getting out of the weeds - all more related to forward view than backward

[Roger Barnes @mindsocket]

@levi @bcherny +1. Multiple times now I've had to ask to see the plan first, which breaks the question asking flow

[Roger Barnes @mindsocket]

@sussanley "Our plan is clear" is usually accompanied by some kind of plan. Did you forget an attachment?

Naming things is hard, just ask @UnderArmour

Voting in Bradfield and undecided? My frustration with politics has turned to hope since meeting @Nicolette_Boele and volunteering. A true community independent. See for yourself: https://t.co/dtCo71tmE3

@amix3k Examples of conversational things (I've started dabbling with MCP for these myself):
* Reschedule anything due that looks work related until Monday
* Suggest tasks that to be moved into existing sections in the work project
* Tag priority tasks that I keep rescheduling for review

[Roger Barnes @mindsocket]

@amix3k 2 things:
* It depends what it can do. I'm interested in things I can't already do from the app that's already on my device.
* Assuming it does net new useful things, I'd be happy for the conversational interface to simply be in the todoist app, at least to start with

I'm done wringing my hands about the state of #auspol parties. This was my first time doorknocking alongside hundreds of volunteers from all walks of life. It was fun and rewarding.

It's time for a positive, representative change in Bradfield.

[Nicolette Boele MP @Nicolette_Boele]

Just had our biggest doorknocking weekend.

Thank you to the 127 doorknockers (yep - you read that right) who invited people back into their democracy this weekend.

This is people-powered politics, and it’s an absolute privilege to be a part of 🌟.

Happy clamshell packaging injury and fresh battery hunting day, to those who celebrate

"This is either genius or bollocks" is almost always how genius emerges. You've gotta be ok with that. Keep going, keep creating.

@sqs You don't have to change code if you only ever make new messaging apps.

Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

@infobeautiful Interesting, but as an example of data viz/infographic, truly awful.
