Was about to recommend Herdr to a bunch of my colleagues but it seems the project has gone weird. The new app needs independent config, all tui plugins are incompatible. Given all this difference, does tui even have a future?

Today Toronto (province Ontario) moved clocks. Winnipeg (neighboring province Manitoba) didnโ€™t, for the first time. Starting today, Toronto and Winnipeg have the same clock time for the first time during winter. Manitoba now has a fixed timezone called Manitoba standard time.

What is wild is that parts of Ontario province itself (west of 90 W) will now stop moving clocks like the rest of the province and will match clocks with Manitoba. I will never stop hating DST.

This is a really good resource to bookmark for mapping model choice to the target domain for our application. Helps us do the intelligence/cost tradeoff.
Weโ€™re working to build the largest collection of private and public practitioner evals. Today, 31 new partners join the Specialized Intelligence Index, building on the expertise of our founding partners. Compare leading models on real work and see where training could pay off. fireworks.ai/specialized-intโ€ฆ

This is absolutely excellent advice
New blog post from our group! Do you create dashboards / HTML pages with lots of AI-generate texts, and get frustrated (like us) about how they're hard to read? Check out our tips here (and, send them to your coding agents)!!

I must say, years of treating infra as cattle, and looking down upon infra as pets, has made it particularly uncomfortable with setting up self modifiable systems like Hermes and openclaw for my homelab

In hindsight I made the mistake of bringing professional practices into an alpha, personal software. Still makes me hesitant to setup and use software that way though

To use software that way in professional contexts needs probably bespoke setups today. Donโ€™t know if any off the shelf agent does that

Every Claude specific feature that companies put all their eggs in, like slack tag, this is what makes me very uncomfortable.
Google bought urchin tracking and renamed it google analytics and made it free. Tt was the best product on the market and completely zero cost, one line of JS to install... ...and yet mixpanel, amplitude, omniture, appsflyer etc all were billion dollar companies. People dont want to trust google to grade their own homework. Same thing with Anthropic - it doesn't matter how good claude managed agents gets, there will always be demand for cross-platform to avoid lock-in

The only good thing out of this whole shitshow is that, at the pace in which things are changing, it will all be hopefully obsolete before companies have finished migrating. ๐Ÿ˜€

The wild success of the LLM model/harness era is *bcoz* models & agents are so replaceable. Look at how viciously the frontier labs are competing because of that Anthropic and OpenAI et al are trying very hard to put up walled gardens with these features to keep us locked in
