Be in charge of your own emotions. If you feel strong winds pushing you in a bad direction, get away from those winds.

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

Be careful not to get addicted to negative emotions. Fear, despair, anger... It's a trap.

Demoralisation is one of the enemy's strongest weapons because it causes you to defeat yourself.

✅ Nice little button scale-down on activation
🙈 Layout change because scroll bar disappears
🙈 No light dismiss

Let's fix it.

These UX problems can easily be solved with:

- dialog + closedby="any"
- overscroll-behavior: contain

@txsalth2o I don't think that is what is REALLY happening; this is:

@USPatriot404 @MarkMeadows @Pete2Shawn @russvought @Jim_Jordan @glennbeck @DataRepublican Seems Tides Center is related:

[T Hicks @T_HicksOfThe303]

Looked at another speaker...
Jackie Burt of ShowUpForGood.
Show up for good didn't show up in the funding map but Jackie Burt did as a board member of Mirror Image, who showed up on the USAID funding map as attached here.
Another tie back into Tides Center.
Well, I'll be damned.

[SKDoubleDub @SKDoubleDub33]

Claudia De la Cruz is on the board of PSL and CodePink - she also ran for president in 2024.

If you don’t know about these organizations, let me tell you.

CodePink is funded by
Tides Foundation
Threshold
Streisand Foundation
Global Exchange
Benjamin Fund
Among others.

CODEPINK also has funding ties to Samidoun - which is a well known affiliate of the PFLP and Hamas.

@SBMcCallister @MarkMeadows @russvought @Jim_Jordan @JoeBiden @jaredkushner I think you're assuming JOE Biden knew 100% of what was going on inside his own admin.
(Note all-caps JOE; there were 2 other Biden-players, autopen, all his underlings, etc.)

@ChShersh I don't understand why folks are focused on writing to AI via MD files to 'insist' the AI orchestrator to follow a certain path, when a coded FSM is 100% deterministic.

[tom byrer @tombyrer]

Great talk by @nicknisi about putting AI coding on a narrow looping path so the code that AI touched is proven to address the issue.
Just like what human teams should do.

They use a State Machine system on top of PI harness.

@DavidKPiano @tombyrer I'm still a huge xstate fan, and i used it in the WorkOS CLI! https://t.co/nOjCN2lRM9

@tt_2709 @housecor What's a 'worktree'?

[tom byrer @tombyrer]

@lemire Many folks will use an existing harness & build on top of that. Eg Nick used PI as a base harness & added his own code, agents, etc. (OpenClaw also used Pi)

https://t.co/b1PrbITAA0

Other folks are using OpenCode & Hermes as their starting point.

@MaverickDarby @elonmusk Greetings from Kansas City, one of the homes of the World Cup.

[tom byrer @tombyrer]

@housecor Some folks believe now is to have AI summarize findings, then clear context / start new tab like @theo does.

If you compact context too much, it might lose facts it & you assume is there.
I'm not sure what 'memory saving' is best; many to choose from from Hermes' MD to using SQL

@mattvanswol @JamieBonkiewicz Quit spouting FAKE NEWS Matt!!!
Biden did build... 37 electric car charging stations
out of a $5-7,000,000,000 NEVI budget.

Sorry @DavidKPiano seems they didn't use XState as a FSM (nor mine... /cry), but you can still bookmark this as 'how to use SM in AI harnesses':

@ChShersh I'd like to hear the juicy details! Maybe do a blog post?

Doing LeetCode at work might be an awareness thing; once you have it in your brain you'll see it everywhere.

EG I used to hand-optimize DSP programs in ASM.
Now using JS, I can't stand non-optimized code.

@VaeVictus22 @dakroot Yes household is the smallest form of colluvium. But you have HOAs, schools, workplaces, local & national gov'ts, media outlets, MeetUps, churches, labor unions, etc.

@housecor ASTRO?!?
