Just the fact that Musk is in the conversation, and he's one of the most hated people on the planet, should give anyone pause as to whether we want these folk in charge of our future to any degree at all.

This is the closest to my feelings about this entire situation I've ever seen written, covering a lot of the different facets of how stupid and painful it is (though it's been a good week for that kind of post.) Since I have incre

Well, I got access, and I'm able to use the new models for free through the app. The x-pro model did some decent coding, but seems a bit slow right now. I also had the x-flash and x-pro models make pelicans, and the x-flash seemed clea

I applied to get access to new models, and got in already. Hard to say if the models are much better, but the app seems relatively slick. I was surprised to see quite a bit of my existing work already shown in the app, but I've been us

Seems cool, and makes sense, but does seem like it's mostly going to be annoying. It's available at a limited number of airports, and you have to apply 1-3 days in advance each time. Also could be annoying to travellers who have t

I really like the idea, and I would like to see Tailscale evolve Aperture in this direction. Tailscale is already an easy way for anyone to connect their devices, which is essential for any sort of "personal cloud", and Aperture,

My biggest token sink so far has been something very much like this, but I'm still not sure whether it's a good idea. But it has been a lot of fun.

This is bad advice in 2026 for most people who would read it, since it advises taking a terrible security posture (give the agent access to everything,) in exchange for a relatively small improvement in workflows. I say small improvement be

(In general, I think we don't do enough to emphasize best practices in the era of AI, but...) What Kent completely ignores here, as far a I can tell, is that there is significant value in finding out sooner what the needed features a

This is my concern as well. If critical open source packages become dependent on these corporations for "secure" releases, does that enable them to force ID verification into packages, for example? Related, but most of the smart f

They default it to talking to a free version of their model (which is incredibly cheap if you decide you like it.) But it seems trivially easy to run it against local models. Their onboarding guide offers that option, though I have no idea

Interesting. I've been using their models quite a bit, through Claude Code, might try switching to this. I also built a couple of harnesses, I wonder if I could swap this for Claude in those... (Lots of interesting ideas in the blog po

Because this isn't the first collection they've stolen from someone, presumably. It's a lot easier to become a really successful company if you can keep your inventory costs down. Perhaps by investing in local law enforcement

Firm, but partial, disagreement. People, especially in remote jobs, benefit from being organized into groups intentionally, with distinct rituals that enable them to operate effectively while they get to know each other better. Another pers

For whatever reason, I get very few push notifications on my phone. Compared to my days at Blackberry, it's probably 10% as frequent that I get interrupted by my phone. So good for me. But there's some really scary stuff in here h

That's not generally true in the US over the last 40 years, where the gains from productivity increases have been accumulated almost entirely by the top classes. Yes, lower classes have access to many more conveniences then they might

I was using Gemini and Claude quite a bit over the last year, mostly with pro or opus for planning and flash or sonnet for implementation. MiMo is the best one I've used so far, but I haven't done anything interesting with the Cla

I think this does a very good job of describing the real gaps agents are hitting in practical usage, along with a fairly compelling rationale for why those gaps aren't likely to disappear any time soon. If we're going to stabilize

I worked part time with MiMo 2.5-pro over the last month, and barely managed to use 500 Million of the 700 Million tokens I had allocated. My plan was just upgraded to 38 BILLION tokens per month. That's at least 10X the tokens I'

It's a little bit snark, but I do think it would be an interesting experiment. Wish I had lots of money to try it out.

Four-day work weeks are for cowards. Take all that AI productivity and found a one-day work week company. One day of focused collaboration each week, let bots and brains chew on stuff in the interim.

Yes. I tried a couple of weeks with non-Pro, and it was pretty good, but I had too many spare tokens, so I switched back to Pro. :)

I've gone through ~600m tokens in Xiaomi Mimo though Claude, and it's been the most effective use of an agent I've had yet. It's very capable, but generally not ambitious, picking simple but effective solutions to most p
