Congrats to @anthropic.com on MCP.
While tuning up their ridiculously great code agent model - they give away a tool-use framework that supercharged loads of apps and now has breached the OpenAI/SK haze at Msft

I barely comprehend the science being discussed here but Quanta Magazine just presents it so beautifully I want to pretend I do..

The Thought Experiments That Fray the Fabric of Space-Time | Quanta Magazine
These three imagined scenarios lead many physicists to doubt that space-time is fundamental.

I wish Microsoft hadn't bet the 🏦 on #SemanticKernel and OpenAI. Every article since last March has been the most basic "how to get (outdated model) to speak in pirate slang with SK" or "CoPilot can write a file!!" while Anthropic is 🔥 through limitations on every front & agent framework.

If there is a more infuriating design failure than this app, you likely need to login to it with this app. Every route into #Microsoft is blocked by a login that demands you already have logged in to be able to login. Every button, every fallback - this page in recursive loops down to bedrock

It would be cool if #dotnet embraced more fluid/dyanmic instance types. For example a static Dog or Cat class for new instances, but syntax to transition a Dog to Dog+Cat and then the transitioned instance could be passed to methods expecting a cat.

List and the other collections in #dotnet should have an implicit conversion to bool so we can use if (myList) {} like the cool kids do in their J(aa)S clubs.
If null or empty return false, else true.

Hey, if you're on #Windows11 and copy & paste are borked (specifically copy) you might be interested to know that Windows may be passing your copied content to an LLM for guidance about what format to use and that's stupid/insecure. 🤦♀️

Why does the iPhone's internal search suck so much? How many times have I searched for the Notifications settings to have to type it out only to discover they forgot to index the primary settings. Argh

Woke up to an expired SSL certificate and the hassle of all the formats, manual concatenations, keys, and separate places it needed to be updated nearly broke me.

Don't know why someone would make this nice tile floor out of authentic ancient bedrock and then hide it under under 3 inches of moss & dirt. And who would run a carpet over these indomitable stairs, but I do appreciate the gold flakes they left behind.

After 4 months of traveling far off to find gold on the Trinity River in Humboldt, I went to a little beach nearby to let Sadie swim in calm water before we continued on.. scraped a couple crevices just for fun.. and bam, my little motherload..

Another day scraping bedrock for the joy of it (the reward so far would cover a nice sandwhich). Sadie got to swim but wishes I got into sticks instead of rocks.

Wow, this app identified the location of a photo I grabbed from a website with no exif gps info. I gave it a pretty broad area and it nailed it.

Agent Laboratory is a new tool designed to help researchers implement their own ideas, rather than replacing them.
@AMD and Johns Hopkins University made it open-source and adaptable to different levels of computing power.
What are the benefits?
- Researchers can input their idea, and Agent Laboratory uses AI agents to generate a research report and code repository.
- Users can choose their feedback level to suit their needs.
- A Co-pilot mode allows to work alongside the AI
