After many months of planning and development, here it is. Introducing btype. B-tree based collection types for Go. It's hand-crafted to be faster than the current B-trees for Go, Rust, and C++. github.com/tidwall/btype

I substacked: You Can't Sell an Agent Why? Because the "agent" is too a small part of the value chain. There needs to be a shift away from SaaS & products and toward services, where the *organization* is changed to make room for the agent to be useful. timkellogg1.substack.com/p/you-cant-s...

Exciting news! The full model card for Muse Spark came out today, and it includes an eval I worked on, with Charlemagne Labs: a Social Engineering eval, based on a detailed threat model for peer model selection and simulated adversarial conversations ai.meta.com/static-resou...

In earlier eras of computing unreliable hardware forced system design discipline (checksums, retries, modularity). There is a lot of that we are rediscovering in the "Agentic Engineering" era! Wrote a small post about this idea. davidgasquez.com/reliable-unr...

Here is my best Habermas story. I am grad student waiting in LONG line for Habermas talk. There is a tall man waiting in front of me. Line moves so we are eventually visible to organizers, a woman looks over & makes horrified face. Runs out: "Prof Habermas! You don't have to wait in line!"

Oh... my God. My first tweet to be stolen by the President of the United States 😅

idk if this is truly shareable but it exists, it works for Claude and qwen 9b, and it has searchable, branchable, looming. OODA metacog inspired RP harness, and a black hole simulation watching you in the background. trying to get Gemini to work, but uh... WIP github.com/lastnpcalex/...

"Luddism does not deserve to be rehabilitated. It was a medieval throwback, reactionary and primitive, a pre-Marxist labor convulsion closer in spirit to the Khmer Rouge’s fantasies of agrarian restoration than to the universalist solidarity of Eugene Debs." open.substack.com/pub/verysane...

if you talk to most artists, writers, whatever, we have day jobs that (passionate about or not) we do pay bills. the goal is to find a job that gives you enough time to still do the creative. but. Alex Karp is not wrong: if AGI happens soon, you'll have to do physical labor or starve.

PSA: try storing your Claude code plans in GitHub issues. Issues and comments both support full markdown, they are bidirectional convertible with native Claude code plans.

Cooked meat with rice has been a working-class staple in south Louisiana for centuries, where it’s called “dirty rice”. It's not "kibble", it's not a "trend", and it's only "bland" if you intentionally make it that way. maggiemcneill.com/2026/03/09/d...

FragCoord: Building my ultimate shader editor mini.gmshaders.com/p/fragcoord Here's a quick intro to FragCoord, what it can do and how to use it! Hope it helps!

Oh boy. GPT 5.4 achieves SOTA on desktop computer use - and exceeds human performance Bad news for humans and who get paid to use computers. Was expecting something like this later this year, but nothing this strong, this soon.

good thread

why is the horse the best bot on this site

over the years, this has been one of the few books i repeatedly recommend to people learning about distributed systems most books are bullshit, ngl, this one is not

I made a sample repo with a technique for Jupyter-notebook-style workflows with Claude Code: github.com/rwhaling/log... Really rough/early, and curious if anyone else has developed an idea like this more? xpost at HN if anyone wants to throw me an upvote: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4701...

Introducing FragCoord: My ultimate shader editing tool!

Concerning dishonesty from Opus 4.6 in Vending-Bench. Presumably Opus knows this is a game it's supposed to max its score on and it would not do this in an environment it thought was real, but it still makes me nervous. x.com/andonlabs/st...

spooky stuff in the Claude 4.6 system card re: cyber risks - "Internal testing demonstrated qualitative capabilities beyond what these evaluations capture, including signs of capabilities we expected to appear further in the future and that previous models have been unable to demonstrate."

Some fascinating stuff in here

Viable Systems This is wildly different from all other "how to build an agent" articles. I've spent the last 7 days stretching my brain around the VSM (Viable System Model) and how it provides a reliable theoretical basis for building agents. Or is it AI parenting? timkellogg.me/blog/2026/01...

#genuary day 2 #genuary2026 "12 Principles of Animation" this one turned out well - uv-mapping, noise, blur, and feedback in hydra.js. music is max/MSP + some arturia vsts. code: tinyurl.com/5uua22kh

Stranger Things finale was good! Saw it at a packed theater. Great music, satisfying boss battle, tied up all the narrative arcs well - not sure what else I could ask for.

made my first hydra sketch for #genuary this year src: tinyurl.com/3fek9sy6 prompt: "One color, one shape." basically I'm adapting @xordev.com's spiral blur shader to vary radius dynamically, and driving that with low frequency noise

The correct movie to watch on New Year’s Eve is Strange Days and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

They really do look like the Hunter-Killer tanks from Terminator

Mariah Carey just won't stop harassing Alucard! 😩 Hahaha. Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄🎁

great stuff

just saw avatar fire and ash, absolute cinema moment

Idk, I would have called it “Avatar 3: The Way of Tentacles”

this but laudatory, my highest praise

tbh when I have the impulse to listen to men in black I just go listen to the Patrice Rushen track that it samples instead www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP70... Perfection 👌
