These bills, along with C-22 and C-9 constitute a total erosion in Canada’s basic liberties. They interlock into making Canada essentially unviable for those with choices on where to build.

@mitchellh @NumaanAshraf seeing them demo a Slack clone at AI Engineer Europe this year instead of improvements to Github and issue tracking in particular was a signal to me that they were not going in the right direction

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

The AI companies are on track to become GitHub faster than GitHub is becoming an AI company. I'm sure there's a lot of sycophants within GH/MS showing off PowerBI dashboards to argue against this for their own personal gain, but wake the fuck up.

@tannerlinsley @gingacodemonkey @BrooksLybrand @AlemTuzlak This approach of packaging skills or docs inside libraries will likely get popular imo.

It just felt a bit unexplored as I was working through it myself. Glad we got people like you working on this.

[Tanner Linsley @tannerlinsley]

We started with *just shipping skills via node_modules* in our libraries, which BTW is versioned skills whether you like it or not and that's a good thing; security requires provenance and NPM isn't perfect, but it's better than inventing something new (insert standards meme). But as you also learned early on, you have to have a (hopefully) small step where you teach your agent about those skills, or at the very least where to fine them. That is precisely what TanStack Intent is. It's a spec (and a CLI) for skill discovery over NPM. A single install command to cover the many agent harness quirks and teach them about available NPM skills for any library that follows that spec. The spec is only half of it too. Simply saying there are skills in NPM isn't enough, and installing every skill you can find into your agent's context is costly. So Intent is also a CLI that allows your agent to cache, search and recall skills found in your node_modules (again, accounting for all of the quirks across the many package manager implementations).

@jamesacowling Platforms are not disappearing but they need to get more composable and focus on doing something right. Finding their lane.

Convex is a beauty for what it does.

I found out the other day that any compression tool can be contorted to do language modeling. Turns out gzip can generate text that somewhat *resembles* Shakespeare. Short write up linked below

Tim Ferris just shared that he's on track to sell 80% fewer books in 2026 than he did in 2022

"“how-to” books are getting crushed because LLMs seem to provide faster, cheaper, and more personalized advice"

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

We've gone really quickly from "local models are dogshit" to "local models are good actually" (like, a 12 month window from A to B). I don't think they're actually good ENOUGH yet. We need an Opus 4.5 quality local model. When that happens, I think the world will spill over.

Opus 4.5 is/was amazing, and is more than good enough for almost all tasks still as long as you pair with a frontier-level planner/judge.

It'll still require a hugely expensive machine to run it, I'm sure, like a $5K or more laptop or mac studio. But, that's going to be pennies compared to the API costs plus all the benefits of guaranteed privacy and so on.

There's an art movement I find under-exploited in movies and video games: Formicat-punk, or Giscard-punk. (Giscard d'Estaing was a French president in the late 1970s)
This retro-futuristic, typically French style fascinates me. I'd love to work on a universe like that.

You can just do things:

This guy turned a cheap smart light bulb into a secret banned book library. It creates its own open WiFi hotspot + web server full of EPUBs.

"As long as the light bulb is switched on, then anyone in the vicinity can still access the banned material assuming they have an electronic device with WiFi. Since the device is a light bulb, it would be difficult to detect and likely to go unnoticed."

Awesome!
