Here's the alert: https://www.gov.uk/alerts/14-aug-2026-2 What's interesting is that it doesn't seem to meet the normal requirements of an urgent action. Previous alerts, for context: https://

I'm surprised there's not more discussion about potential inflection points here. When technology gets faster, it opens up whole new classes of UX that were hard to predict For example, faster internet didn't mean being able

Wardley's original post on this [0] is worth a read. OP adds cowboys and city folk, and makes it a bit more personal. 5 interesting things that are worth making explicit: 1. These teams/roles are as much about appetite and attitud

It looks a lot like a CvRDT (i.e. a state-based CRDT). They describe it as a commutative monoid, which means it has associativity and commutativity. CvRDTs also need idempotence, so they can handle duplicate data. Either they are idempotent

You could also parse prompts into an AST, run inference, run evals, then optimise the prompts with something like a genetic algorithm.

Genesis is a theological narrative, which is very different to most things we read these days, especially as a software engineer. 1. The general consensus is that there were more people. This is assumed in Genesis and it (annoyingly!) doesn

The install is very opaque. It's not clear where these skills are installed, how to upgrade them or remove them. Here's the `skills` package on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/skills - it's MIT licens

Impressive! Here's an agent in 24 lines of PHP, written in 2023. But it relies on `llm` to do HTTP and JSON. https://github.com/dave1010/hubcap

Thanks Simon! My tool collection [0] is inspired by yours, with a handful of differences. I'm only at 53 tools at the moment. What I did differently: Hosted on Cloudflare Pages. This gives you preview URLs for pull requests out the box

Perhaps. Though if that were feasible, I'd expect it would have been exploited already. I think this is more about the cost and time saving of being able to use cheaper models. Sub-agents are effectively the same as parallelization and

The Claude Opus 4.5 system card [0] is much more revealing than the marketing blog post. It's a 150 page PDF, with all sorts of info, not just the usual benchmarks. There's a big section on deception. One example is Opus is fed ne

Thanks Simon! It only worked because of your LLM tool. Standing on the shoulders of giants.

Two years ago I wrote an agent in 25 lines of PHP [0]. It was surprisingly effective, even back then before tool calling was a thing and you had to coax the LLM into returning structured output. I think it even worked with GPT-3.5 for trivi

Thanks for submitting this! Author here. (If you can call me that. GPT-4 and Gemini did the bulk of the work) This is a (slightly tongue in cheek) benchmark to test some LLMs. All open source and all the data is in the repo. It makes use of
