I love how utterly unhinged Gas Town is, and by extension, vibe coding. It’s the antithesis of corporate software culture, it wears cool jackets, it has neon lights and cheap street food, it’s cyberpunk

I have Gas Town derangement syndrome and spent the last few weeks writing thousands of words on agent orchestration patterns; how they shift our bottlenecks and force us to ask whether and when we should stop looking at code

LOL Claude Cowork. Zat nog even aan te hikken tegen een analytics-verslag. Automatische koppeling via Windsor lukte niet. Biedt ie aan om Google Chrome te openen en handmatig de rapportagepagina’s te openen en de cijfers te bekijken. Maakt ie zo een rapportage van.

Heb even nagedacht over de Nederlandse afhankelijkheid van Microsoft.

Kernprobleem is dat de meeste organisaties geen verstand hebben van ict en voor hun bedrijfsvoering afhankelijk zijn van Microsoft-resellers die de ict ontzorgen. 1/2

Unpopular opinion: zo slecht doet Rutte het volgens mij niet. Trump beetje honing op de mond smeren, ondertussen met een lulverhaal en non-deal naar huis sturen; Trump verzwakt vooral zichzelf maar niet op een manier dat ie het EU/NAVO-partners verwijt, wat wil je nog meer?

if it sounds crazy to be doing “it’s still early” hype at this late date, it’s because opus 4.5 is so much better than sonnet 4.5 (which was itself already the best coding model yet) that it has genuinely unsettled me

the hype-focused critics of AI have said for two years that any day now everyone would figure out they’ve been lied to and it’s all a sham. what we see is precisely the opposite: with every jump in capability, more and more people realize how much will change
The bottom line: even if current LLM progress hits a brick wall at Opus 4.5 level (and I doubt that will happen) the next 12 months are still going to be a staggering time of change in this industry as decision makers start truly understanding the new reality we live in.

Trump heeft Nederland kennelijk een Nederlandstalige brief gestuurd? Vertaald met ChatGPT? 😑
“Trump heeft hij een „onderscheidende groep landen" benaderd die bereid zijn zich in te zetten voor „DUURZAME VREDE" [sic] om „op een schitterende manier te investeren in een veilige en welvarende toekomst". Het eerste concrete project van de raad moet Gaza”

Seems someone is taking the “ATproto is federated” promise seriously and running an instance other than Bluesky: “Blacksky” (so as to limit Bluesky's power of censorship). This sounds like great news, so let's watch how it unfolds.

we've reached peak screaming into the void 🗣️🕳️
Snippet from 01/07/2026 article titled "Blood for stonks" by Elizabeth Lopatto (lopatto.bsky.social) & Sarah Jeong (sarahjeong.bsky.social). "America produces the most ghoulish capitalists in the world, and not even they want this. The oil companies are leery about Venezuela because they are aware that the oil there is sour crude, which “requires significant refining” — in other words, complex and expensive infrastructure rather than the decades-old shambles that’s there. Hence the incredible suggestion from Trump on Monday that the US government might subsidize the restoration of oil infrastructure. The whole affair reeks of desperation, like Elon Musk haggling with Stephen King over the price of X Premium. Capital is being lured into justifying the propaganda, rather than the other way around. [OP highlighted section] We have now arrived at the logical end state of financial nihilism. [/OP highlighted section] Meme stocks are sentiment only; whatever happens to the underlying company is irrelevant at best to what happens with the stock price. And despite the death toll, this administration is treating the war on Venezuela as all sentiment, in-jokes, and degen memes. That’s why the war room (war nook?) is just a big TV screen of X.com and war profiteering now consists of Polymarket bets."

in 2025 the combination of the latest models and agentic harnesses like Claude Code (currently considered tools for coders) felt like a step change for software engineers and, it seems, for mathematicians as well. in 2026 this will hit every other white collar job
xcancel.com/Aaroth/statu...
Aaron Roth @Aaroth 19h Starting in the fall (Gemini 2.5 pro launched experimentally at the end of March) LLMs that were useful for math launched. I didn't have much luck using them within their web interface, but I found them to be extremely useful within coding agent harnesses like Windsurf. Aaron Roth @Aaroth 19h This setup substantially accelerated writing math. I could "verbally" sketch an argument as if to a colleague, and the tools could turn that into a formally written lemma/theorem with proof. The proof was correct maybe 75% of the time, but could quickly iterate to correctness. Aaron Roth @Aaroth 19h This summer I spent lots of time using these tools, and we wrote a couple of papers with them. The tools had a couple of memorable flashes of insight that simplified things, but for the most part it felt like accelerating writing the same paper we would have written without them. Aaron Roth @Aaroth 19h In the late summer and spring, GPT 5 (and then 5.1 and 5.2) launched. The GPT 5/5.1/5.2 pro model seemed again like another step change. I again spent a lot of time with it. It could provide real complements to my expertise and work through long and complicated lines of reasoning Aaron Roth @Aaroth 19h We wrote a paper that I think is substantially different/better than the one we would have written without it (coming soon)! This is still far from autonomous science --- working with these tools is like collaborating with a broadly educated, smart but error prone colleague.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.
