Last week, I attended this year's edition of the European Nuclear Energy Forum (ENEF), in Prague, organized by the European Commission.
Here are just a few highlights I found interesting. I leave the bittersweet highlight for last, it being both funny and sad at the same time. Spoiler: concerns Germany.

🤖ONE AGENT HARNESS TO RULE THEM ALL?
I always wanted to be able to use the same harness for every LLM. This enables consistent behaviour across them. However, Anthropic didn't allow third-party harnesses.
Until now! It seems Anthropic quietly changed their Terms of Service to allow this!
All this time I was using @t3dotcodes which is a great GUI and did a great job wrangling the different harnesses (Codex, Claude Code etc). However, because the underlying harnesses still differed across LLMs, some behaviours changed.
Now however, it seems one will be able to use harnesses like @opencode or @pidotdev !

After having lied to its citizens regarding the political motivations of the shooter...
And people finding out through social media they were lying...
Now they want to crackdown on freedom of speech in social media, throught which the truth came to light
You can't make this up
BREAKING:
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk after the Krakow shooting:
“What’s banned in the real world must also be banned in the digital world. We will resume work on laws concerning the abuse of freedom on the internet”

Está a ser feito um espalhafato absolutamente ridículo pelos OCS.
Um incidente INES 0 em 7, literalmente o incidente de menos relevo que se pode ter e os OCS saltam em massa.
Só falta alguém tropeçar numas escadas numa central e isso ser notícia.
Installing Omarchy on a Windows laptop WITHOUT a USB drive using my helper app. Because it shouldn't be more difficult than it needs to be.
Less than 6 minutes once the Omarchy ISO is downloaded (the app downloads it automatically).
It could later do the same from macOS and Linux too.
Notes:
- For now this still requires a custom ISO, because my PR #187 to omarchy-iso is still pending review.
- It pauses BitLocker for the install and offers to turn it back on afterwards.
- Secure Boot was already off here; the app walks you through turning it off. However, the Omarchy team is planning Secure Boot support with a signed bootloader.

NUCLEAR EM PORTUGAL: NOVO GUIA
Criei este guia, que aborda as várias questões práticas sobre a implementação da Energia Nuclear em Portugal, uma vez ultrapassados os mitos (segurança, etc):
Custos, SMRs, Financiamento, Caminho de entrada para Portugal, e Localizações.
Feedback é bem vindo!

Never disturb a toddler in this moment! Don’t help. Don’t suggest. Observe. A capable problem solver is in training and development.
Switching from "AI" to "SI" due to the perception of the word "artificial" makes no sense.
It's like wanting to rebrand the "nuclear" part of nuclear energy.
Artificial is not bad. People just need to grow up. The stainless steel pot you cook on is artificial. Your bed and linens are artificial... The Eiffel towel is artificial. Mona Lisa is artificial.
Not to mention that AI and SI doesn't mean the same thing. Current versions of GPT and Claude are AI, but certainly not SI.
🚨 NEW: Fox’s @BretBaier: “The president says SI. Are you into SI or AI?”
Jeff Bezos: “I do like SI. Artificial is not a very flattering thing. Nobody wants an artificial sweetener.”

This doesn’t make any sense, despite looking cool.
1) Token space is not the same as latent space. LLMs think in latent space.
2) Latent space is continuous, not discrete. If it’s D-dimensional, you can form any continuous linear combination of the D basis vectors.
3) Models can already communicate in token space via token IDs. The token<->letters conversion is cheap classical code anyway.
There’s no real point in forcing continuous machine internals into a discrete human-facing alphabet.
Cool visually, but several different things are being conflated.
The Latin alphabet is not how machines think in latent space nor ideally how they communicate
Created a custom 8,192-dimensional token alphabet for machines to communicate in token space directly
Inspired by the alphabet in @Grimezsz new Accelerando MV

I think @AnthropicAI is in a bit of a shameful position.
Time to join the other AI labs like @OpenAI , @xai , etc and let us use their Subscription with other harnesses like @opencode and @pidotdev ?
There's no merit in being in the exception section, along with @GeminiApp and @Meta .

I was interviewed by AnewZ (from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 ) regarding Iran's 🇮🇷 proposed withdrawal from the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) ☢️.
Here's what this withdrawal means:
1) The withdrawal does not take effect immediately
Even if the pending vote in the Iranian parliament for the withdrawal passes, Iran will have to notify with *3 months notice* the NPT partners and the UN Security Council. During this notice, it will have to state the justification for doing so.
It is possible to suspend or interrupt the process between the 3 months are up.
2) Can Iran suddenly enrich more?
No. The NPT never set any limits on the level of enrichment a signatory country may achieve. The only such agreement that Iran was subject to was the JCPOA, the treaty signed in 2015 between Iran and the US, UK, France, Germany, China and EU, which limited the enrichment to 3.67% but is no longer in practical effect.
3) What does this mean for IAEA safeguards inspections?
The IAEA has already since last year not been provided with access to Iran's nuclear facilities, so it has not been able to assess the continued commitment to the sole peaceful use of nuclear energy. Furthermore, the concern of the ~440 kg of 60% enriched uranium, whose whereabouts and conditions are unknown by the IAEA, remains.
The IAEA-Iran safeguards treaty states that it becomes void in case Iran withdraws from the NPT. As such, if the withdrawal proceeds, the likelihood that IAEA inspections capable of alleviating these concerns actually takes place will suffer.
4) What does this mean for the future of the NPT?
The NPT will continue in existence, and continues to be an attractive treaty in combination with IAEA safeguards, since it provides it's signatories with several advantages, such as access to international markets of nuclear equipment and fuel for peaceful uses. The concern that arises, however, is that a signatory country that has been receiving the benefits and establishing expertise in the area for years, may then decide to leave and end it's commitment to the sole peaceful use of nuclear energy. The resulting question is: what to do in these cases and how to deal with such countries?

Finally.
It probably should be a federated system though, with the national components.
Five major European payment networks- BANCOMAT, Bizum, Wero, MB WAY and Vipps MobilePay- join forces to create ENP (European Network for Payments)
The goal Is to make European payments instant, interoperable & independent, creating an alternative to Visa and Mastercard
Lets go!

Why not simply invest their time/energy in @opencode ?
If companies like @deepseek_ai did this perhaps OpenCode would not have the huge feature gap it has with harnesses like Codex or Claude Code.
No one wants having to install 20 different harnesses, one for each model.
DeepSeek Harness for desktop is now available on macOS and Windows. View article

🇪🇺 There's a huge cognitive dissonance in the EU regarding Brexit 🇬🇧...
UK's GDP evolution has not differed that much from France, and remains strongly above Germany's.
The EU cannot save the countries from incompetent national governments. And it's facing some struggles of its own.
National governments have to do better.
French President Macron on Brexit:
Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years.
Those who said, "We will be richer" — eight points of GDP less ten years later.
"We will solve the problem of immigration" — it is more complicated than before.
"We are going to crush it in international trade" — it is worse.

⚛️ Most countries that have turned off it's nuclear power plants, already regretted it.
☢️ HUGE NUCLEAR POWER REVERSAL ☢️
Taiwan approved a preliminary plan to restart an idled atomic power plant, marking a reversal of the ruling party’s anti-nuclear stance. It closed its last reactor last year
The earliest the plant may resume is 2028

Every time.
AI is like "this task will take 1-2 days of focused work".

It feels like it should have been called GPT-6 Terra.
This doesn't feel like a jump in intelligence like you would expect 5.6 Sol -> 6 Sol.
It is similar to 5.6 Terra in pricing, and not too dissimilar intelligence to 5.6 Sol.
Why not "GPT-6 Terra"?
