Posthuman: We All Built Agents. Nobody Built HR.
Farewell, Anthropocene, we hardly knew ye. 🌹 AI is here. It’s won. Yes, it’s in that awkward teenage phase where it still says inappropriate things, dresses funny, and sometimes makes shit up when it shouldn’t. But zomg the things it can do. 😱 This kid is going places, that much is abundantly clear. The AI […]

GLM-5.1: Towards Long-Horizon Tasks
GLM-5.1: Towards Long-Horizon Tasks Chinese AI lab Z.ai's latest model is a giant 754B parameter 1.51TB (on Hugging Face) MIT-licensed monster - the same size as their previous GLM-5 release, and sharing the same paper. It's available via OpenRouter so I asked it to draw me a pelican: llm install llm-openrouter llm -m openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.1 'Generate an SVG of a pelican on a bicycle' And something new happened... unprompted, the model decided to give me an HTML page that included both the SVG…

Anthropic's Project Glasswing - restricting Claude Mythos to security researchers - sounds necessary to me
Anthropic's Project Glasswing - restricting Claude Mythos to security researchers - sounds necessary to me
Anthropic didn't release their latest model, Claude Mythos (system card PDF), today. They have instead made it available to a very restricted set of preview partners under their newly announced Project Glasswing. The model is a general purpose model, similar to Claude Opus 4.6, but Anthropic claim that its cyber-security research abilities are strong enough that they need to give the software industry as a whole time to prepare. Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity…

SQLite WAL Mode Across Docker Containers Sharing a Volume
SQLite WAL Mode Across Docker Containers Sharing a Volume
Research: SQLite WAL Mode Across Docker Containers Sharing a Volume Inspired by this conversation on Hacker News about whether two SQLite processes in separate Docker containers that share the same volume might run into problems due to WAL shared memory. The answer is that everything works fine - Docker containers on the same host and filesystem share the same shared memory in a way that allows WAL to collaborate as it should. Tags: docker, sqlite

The World Needs More Software Engineers

Aaron is one of the few CEOs of an incumbent enterprise software company thinking deeply in public about what AI means […]

Engineering Storefronts for Agentic Commerce
For years, persuasion has been the most valuable skill in digital commerce. Brands spend millions on ad copy, testing button colours, and designing landing pages to encourage people to click “Buy Now.” All of this assumes the buyer is a person who can see. But an autonomous AI shopping agent does not have eyes. I […]

Google AI Edge Gallery
Google AI Edge Gallery
Google AI Edge Gallery Terrible name, really great app: this is Google's official app for running their Gemma 4 models (the E2B and E4B sizes, plus some members of the Gemma 3 family) directly on your iPhone. It works really well. The E2B model is a 2.54GB download and is both fast and genuinely useful. The app also provides "ask questions about images" and audio transcription (up to 30s) with the two small Gemma 4 models, and has an interesting "skills" demo which demonstrates tool calling…
