You can just build things

We live in uncertain yet incredible times. Since the "ChatGPT moment" two years ago, I've seen the writing on the wall as many of you have that AI will change humanity in a powerfully non-negotiable way. Our path forward isn't to resist this change—it's to harness these extraordinary advances to elevate human potential. Learning is the cornerstone business practice of all human development and advancement. To progress ourselves, we need to enhance and overhaul our learning system. The signal for this change has never been louder than it is today. In my work "Learn to Adapt" I outline how we can adapt the American education system to advance ourselves in this incoming decade of AI transformation. Read the full blueprint here -> tinyurl.com/LearntoAdapt I'm not just sharing this as food for thought—I'm directly inviting you to join a mission through the @AdaptEducation_ project. This rapid-development research project is funded through blockchain technology (Solana - $ADAPT). As we progress, every bit of funding drives research into methods, tools, curriculum development and more that will directly shape how AI transforms education. Promising experiments in AI-driven education are already happening today, and we need more of them to ensure scaled and operational success across the entire US. We must fail fast and push the edge of innovation to adapt our system quickly enough to avoid the potentially catastrophic side effects of this AI revolution. I'll continue to share my thoughts here on X about why and how we can adapt our learning system, exactly what this project will achieve, and more.

I've been in tech for 46 years. The biggest change AI brings isn't speed. It's that a regular person with an idea can finally build it without asking anyone for permission.

Sounds interesting enough to test out. @bcherny what do you think about adding to claude?
Compaction is a mistake. When an agent's context fills up, tools like Codex and Claude Code compact it: 1. The model prefills the entire session again 2. It writes a summary of everything so far 3. A new session starts from that summary I measured this on a real ~400k-token session with Opus 5.5: → 38 s and $1.99 when the prompt cache has expired → 29 s and $0.17 when it hasn't And the summary is lossy. The exact error message, the file path, the one number you needed is often gone. So I do something new for Mainplane Context retrieval works the other way around. Mainplane keeps the full record of every session as a file. When the context fills up, a new session starts right away with one instruction: "You are continuing session X. Retrieve key context from it as you go." The agent searches the old session and copies the exact lines it needs, when it needs them. Same session, same model: 15 s and $0.10 to get back to work. It does not depend on a cache hit, and nothing is paraphrased. This is the bitter lesson applied to agent memory. Don't hand-design what the model should remember. Give it the full record and good tools, and let it decide. Mainplane is open source (MIT). Link in the first comment.

Vibe coding is fun until production breaks. Do you understand the code well enough to fix it?

American glass. American metal. American silicon. American batteries. American workers. American everything. BlueChip is the first American computer in decades. Don't let anyone lie to you and say it can't be done. Designed in California. Built in America.
BlueChip. Built in America. America made the first electronic computer to win a war. Now we depend on our greatest adversaries to build the computers that run our economy and defend our nation. Today, we bring it home.

Just being real, Codex (as a harness) is a total joke. I have claude code task the CLI, but the default ChatGPT/Codex desktop app is moronic. Can't do basic web search, can't remember that it has auth to external projects like a git repo, it cries wolf constantly saying "oh I can't do this because I lack access or tools". These are issues I literally never run into with command line tools. Additionally, some of the codex features are just 100% broken. Sometimes chat will show a link to something like a local .mp4, i'll click on it and nothing happens. Why? Other times it will open the mp4 in the integrated viewer for codex. It's just totally untested and broken, very sad untested application.

Here’s ChatterSync! Free and open source sftp file transfer for your CNC machines. Compatible with our VSCode extension of course. github.com/Chatter-Software-… Total BOM cost is ~$30. Hardware list, SD card image, and STEP files for the enclosure are all in the repo. We build this free stuff because we’re blessed to be in a position where we can make stuff that I wish existed when I ran a shop. Hopefully maybe you will like our approach and find our paid stuff cool too :) Comments, bug reports, and PR’s are more than welcome!

Type of thing referenced in a 7th century manuscript by a guy named Theobald of Cremona that later scholars conclude is obviously made up

Bugün yoğun bakımdaki babaannemi ziyarete gittim. Oradayken Claude Opus 5.5 kullanarak hastabaşı monitörüne Doom portladım. Oyundaki can yüzdesini hastanın nabzına senkronize ettim; can 0’a düşerse nabız da sıfıra düşer. Bu da oyunu daha heyecanlı hale getiriyor.
