Interesting news about #iHunt: There's a feature film in development, as well as a TV pilot and a vertical series. https://variety.com/2026/film/news/ihunt-killing-monsters-in-the-gig-economy-movie-1236930441/
While I did buy the iHunt RPG by Olivia Hill and Filamena Young years ago (maybe during a crowdfunding or as part of charity bundle?), I never got round to read or even play it. (Don't worry, same is true for many other games.)
The Chosen Ones Are Often The Broken Ones: Your Call to Reach the Fearful
"I tell you these things in the dark, but I want you to tell them in the light. I speak these things only to you, but you should tell them to everyone." (Matthew 10:27) Jesus was the spokesperson and physical representation of the Father. He spent his time on earth, healing the sick, connecting with the disenfranchised, and dispelling harsh misrepresentations of God which had been made by religious leaders. As the human form of God, Jesus showed us the true character of the Father. He […]
@grampajoe @aesthr I have searched my memories and the only things that came close to the attempts to force me to use chatbots / agents were:
- When I stopped eating meat, and 21 months later went vegan, those, mostly meat-eaters with a cognitive dissonance, who were warning me that I would be dead in 2 years if I didn't start eating meat again (it's been over 2 decades)
- When I was still "of childbearing age", those who were trying to convince me I would never know love unless I reproduced
- Christians of different denominations, but mostly Catholics (due to my growing up in Croatia), threatening me with hell unless I became a true believer
- the ex who would keep waking me up over and over again until I "consented" to sexual acts
Amway sellers, Herbalife sellers, Jehovah's witnesses, the friend who nudged me to drink at parties (and who gave up when I asked her what was her interest in me ingesting carcinogenic substances) were much less pushy. And nobody ever nudged me to try drugs other than alcohol.
“The wonder of the law school is that it is always striving. As Grant Gilmore once said, it looks back and delights in how great it was in years past. It then thinks that with some effort it can be that good again. And a few years hence it will probably look back and say, once more, how fine it was then. That striving is what leads to true greatness, and I rejoice in it."

Musical Interlude: It's spooky season, time for something weeeeeird. The Shaggs were a sisters forced into being musicians by their father, who believed a prediction that they would become famous. Their music, bizarrely composed and naively written, is held up as either being catastrophically bad or brilliant outsider art. I find their music strangely fascinating. They had no interest in being musicians and quit as soon as their father died, but they did achieve fame, so the prediction came true...

(from Women Against the Far Right Bristol)
"Across the country bands of far-right thugs are organising into vigilante groups. Receiving thousands of pounds in public donations, these anti-migrant patrols harass people of colour, demanding to see identity documents.
They have no cause of suspicion other than the shade of a person’s skin or accent. They have no legitimate authority other than racist intimidation. Rather predictably Reform UK’s, Richard Tice, has previously called for more of these racist patrols.
These groups claim they protect women yet the this Guardian article shows not only the sickening hypocrisy but also their true colours.
It comes after almost half of those convicted in the 2024 rioter where previously reported for domestic abuse AND 1 in 5 people arrested after the 2024 riots have SINCE been reported for domestic abuse.
This was never about protecting women. This is about the far-right using women’s bodies to justify their racism and hate.
Challenge their narrative, fight back"

Putin said that defeating Russia on the battlefield is impossible.
But Russian soldiers fighting this war have a different perspective with one saying, “what’s going on at the front is a mess. They tell us everything is fine, but it's not true.”

i feel my heart healing. i feel like im on the end/conclusion of my "fuck off ai music" chapter. was so lovely to share that talk in a room surrounded by friends, including many of the people i mentioned in the talk. it was fun pointing out people in the audience... "lizzie wilson.... who's sitting RIGHT THERE". and to like spot people in the video clips i showed. "there's eggg RIGHT THERE". and i guess to kind of own the emotional side of 'fuck off ai music' that gets stripped out usually. i have no idea what it means but what i know is that i feel it and it resonates strongly and its brought me closer to people AND its forced me to question a lot of my own computer use... forced me to question a lot of the things i do.. has made me discover the true pen-on-paper origins of my influences..... making me turn off the screen and gives me imagination for drawing with friends
anyway onto the next
I ran a heavyweight review over the code that decrypts incoming vulnerability reports, and the findings weren't what stopped me. It was the forty-two //nolint comments underneath them.
Each one tells a checker to leave a line alone. "Bounded by the caller." "Bounded above." That's vouching for the code rather than describing it, and the next reader takes its word.
They arrived in days rather than years, from agents working through review findings at speed and doing what I'd asked. Ask for a clean lint run and there are two ways to get one: fix the code, or tell the checker to shut up. Only one requires understanding the finding.
So I went through them. The true ones mostly stopped needing a comment at all, and several of the false ones were hiding real unchecked conversions.
Then a new one turned up mid clean-up, on a Close():
//nolint:errcheck // the read below is what matters
That's backwards. In OpenPGP the integrity check happens when you close the reader, so the error being thrown away was the whole check. It got caught in review and never landed, and there's a test on it now.
The fix I wrote, moving the exceptions into config with the reasoning beside them, then failed in its own way: three exclusions named linters that weren't enabled. Careful prose governing nothing, and nothing tells you.
My friends and comrades, as we come to the end of this day given to us by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, let us humbly reflect on our sins unto the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
"8. Help me be grateful that tonight’s meal and nourishment provide what I need (The Loose Canon, The Official Pastafarian Prayer Book, “The True and Wonderous Story of How Was Delivered Unto Auntie Dee Dee the Most High and Holy Prayer,” p. 182; “I thank the Pasta, and the Sauce, and the Meatballs, for they provide me all my needs.”)"
😋 I confess to almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster and to you, my friends and comrades, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.
Forgive our sins and renew us in the Lord.
R'Amen 🍜
🍝 The Almighty and merciful Lord, the Flying Spaghetti Monster,
grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of Quob Holy Noodle.

Context Engineering over Prompt Engineering: Architecting Codebases for AI Agents
TLDR: Agents don't fail because your prompt was badly worded. They fail because your codebase was never designed to be read. The engineers getting compounding returns from agents aren't the best prompt writers. They're the ones whose repos carry the architecture outside their heads: context standards in the repo, strongly typed contracts, and deliberately pruned retrieval. Prompt engineering is the visible 10%. Context engineering is the structural 90%.
The Prompt Ceiling
Somewhere around 2024, the industry's collective mental model of "working with AI" became a prompt box. The skill was asking well. Whole courses, cheat sheets, and prompt libraries flourished on the premise that the delta between a good and bad AI outcome lived in the wording of your request.
For single-shot, single-file tasks, that was roughly true. It also quietly set everyone's expectations, and the expectations are now the problem.
Because in 2026 the work moved. Mid-level and senior engineers aren't asking a chatbot for a function anymore. They're dispatching agents across repositories of hundreds of thousands of lines, agents that read code, edit files, run tests, and open pull requests. And in this regime something counterintuitive happens that every serious team eventually notices: prompt quality stops being the constraint.
You can rewrite your prompt five times. You can role-play the model into a "senior staff engineer persona." Doesn't matter. The agent will still confidently duplicate an internal utility that already existed three directories away, import a dependency your org banned two quarters ago, and couple two modules your architecture has spent three years keeping apart.
Not because the prompt was weak. Because the codebase was opaque.
What an Agent Actually Sees
To understand why, look at what the average large repository exposes to a reader:
A new human engineer takes weeks to absorb all this, and that's with onboarding sessions and mentors and the ability to ask someone in the hallway. Then the industry hands an agent a repo checkout and a prompt, and acts surprised when the output violates constraints that were never written down anywhere the agent could read.
Here's the failure as it typically shows up, so common it's almost a template.
An agent is asked to "add a retry mechanism to the notification service." It produces a perfectly reasonable implementation. It also duplicates the exponential-backoff utility that already exists in an internal library, pulls in a third-party HTTP client the org specifically removed after a security audit, and places its new logic in a module that creates a circular dependency with the domain layer.
None of those are coding errors. All of them are context errors. And notice what makes them expensive: the code compiles, the tests pass, and the violations are only visible to someone who already knows the architecture. If that person exists, a senior just spent their verification budget (see the verification trap) catching things a document could have prevented.
Fix 1: Put the Architecture Where the Reader Is
The single highest-leverage change: stop storing architecture outside the repository.
The pattern that's emerged across serious AI-adopting orgs is an in-repo context standard, a known, versioned location that every agent (and every new human) reads first. An AGENTS.md or .context/ directory at the repo root holding the high-level domain model, the module boundaries and their rules, the explicit list of disallowed dependencies, the invariants ("never call X from Y," "all money fields are integers in minor units"), and pointers to the ADRs that matter.
Treated like code, not documentation. Reviewed in PRs. Updated when the architecture changes, in the same commit as the change.
The test for whether this is working is embarrassingly simple. Could a competent engineer who has never met your team make a boundary-respecting change using only what's in the repo? If your honest answer is "no, they'd need to ask someone in Slack," then your agent never had a chance. Neither did your next hire.
The corollary that surprises teams: this investment isn't really for the agent. It pays back twice. Once when the agent's first-draft PR respects the boundaries, and again every time a new human onboards in days instead of weeks. The agent didn't create the need. It just made the cost of not meeting it immediate.
Fix 2: Strongly Typed Contracts
The second fix is about what kind of surface your system presents to a reader.
Context files are necessary but they're advisory. Agents, like humans, follow probability, and prose is soft. Types are hard. The orgs getting the best agent behavior are the ones that make architectural constraints mechanically enforceable:
Any escape hatches at the boundaries, no stringly-typed config. The failure mode shifts from "plausible code that violates the design" to "code that doesn't run," and that shift is the entire ballgame. An error the compiler catches at generation time costs seconds. The same error caught in review costs a senior's attention. Caught in production, it costs six hours or six figures.The framing worth internalizing: every invariant you express only in prose is an invariant an agent will eventually violate, charmingly and with total confidence. Every invariant you express as a type or a lint rule is one less thing for the human reviewer to carry.
Fix 3: Prune the Context
The third fix is the counterintuitive one, because everything above has been "give the agent more context." But there's a failure mode on the other side, and mature teams hit it right around the time their context standards start working.
Context dilution. If your instinct is "the agent should know everything," you dump half the repository into the window, and the model now treats your critical domain rules as one equal voice in a choir of 40,000 tokens of boilerplate. The invariant you care about gets the same statistical weight as a vendored dependency's CHANGELOG. The agent saw the rules. It just didn't prioritize them, because you gave it no structure to prioritize with.
The working pattern is deliberate, selective context:
The principle underneath all three fixes is one the prompt-engineering era obscured: an AI agent is the most literal-minded new hire your team has ever onboarded. It will not infer your conventions. It will not ask a clarifying question in the hallway. It will follow exactly what's in front of it, at full speed, with total confidence.
Every year your team spent frustrated at new engineers for "not getting it," when the real problem was undocumented architecture and oral-tradition onboarding, is now doubled. Because the agent executes the misunderstanding immediately, at scale, in code.
The Question Behind the Question
If your codebase needs a person to already know your architecture in order to work safely in it, is that an asset or a liability? For twenty years, "the architecture lives in our senior staff's heads" sounded like job security. In an agent-heavy 2026, it sounds like a single point of failure with a Slack handle.
Your Turn
I'd genuinely like to hear how other teams are drawing this line, because the tradeoffs are real and I don't think there's a settled answer.
Comment with the ugliest thing an agent did in your repo that turned out to be your architecture's fault. Those stories are more useful than the prompts everyone keeps posting.

Context Engineering over Prompt Engineering: Architecting Codebases for AI Agents
A few years ago, I checked a dependency’s license once, at install time, and never again. That habit is getting expensive.
License changes aren’t new, but they’re happening often enough that “it’s open source” is no longer a permanent property of a project. It’s a status that can change between releases.
The pattern is almost always the same.
The shift nearly always runs one way: from an OSI-approved permissive or copyleft license toward a “source-available” license the Open Source Initiative doesn’t recognize as open source.
The Business Source License (BSL) is the most common destination. It’s a “delayed open source” license: the vendor sets restrictions up front, and each version converts to a true open-source license after a change date, typically four years out.
It’s not just the famous cases anymore. A few from this year alone:
Who it actually hurts
The fair counterargument
I don’t think vendors are simply villains here. Many of these changes were a response to cloud providers selling managed versions of a project without funding it. Maintainers need a sustainable model, and “be open and hope for donations” has a poor track record.
It’s also not always one-way. Redis is back under a recognized open-source license for those who choose it, while Valkey continues to be actively developed. Competition between the original and the fork may have pushed both toward better outcomes. Broader data also suggests permissive licensing has been rising, so this isn’t a total collapse of open source.
What I do now
So, is open source still open?
My honest answer: the code is still often open. The guarantee isn’t. Open source has always depended on trust, and trust now needs a little due diligence.
Over to you: Has a license change ever forced your team to migrate? Do you think relicensing is a fair business move, or a betrayal of the community that built the project?

“I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.” —Guard (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)
What was your first ever videogame?
Our folks weren’t fond of video games, so my siblings and I were content listening to the gaming stories of our friends. That was true until Melo, my brother, sold his skateboard, and when he asked me what we should do we the money, I asked him if he would consider buying a game console, and would you believe it? He did.
I have something aside myself so we pooled our money together and bought our first family computer. The shop owner took pity on us , so be threw in some used games of his. Being Mario was the first handed to us, I would say that was our first video game.
We jumped right into setting up the family computer when we got home, it took us an hour to set it up. I pressed the cartridge into the port of the console. A click. Our little screen blinked awake. Super Mario Bros. 1 player game or 2 player game. Of course, two. Then, the epic game music we’ve all come to love. I pressed the directional button. Mario ran. The rest was history.
The same is true for our second game console, I was a senior in high-school when Dad brought a Nintendo 64 home. Mario 64 was our first game in that console followed by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For the duration of that one summer before university, my siblings and I bonded over those video games.
As a Gen-Xer, I can proudly say that I had the best of both worlds. Playing outdoors and inside a screen.

HAPPY FULL MOON IN TAURUS, EVERYONE!
To say this Full Moon is intense is an understatement. Relationships, values, and old negotiations are back under review. Where have you made yourself agreeable to remain desirable? What have you called compromise because admitting you felt coerced would require a difficult decision? Libra’s shadow knows how to arrange the room so no one sees exactly who is paying for the peace.
Today’s Full Moon brings you to a final choice point. When the ground you trusted to hold you starts to hurt you, and keeping everything in place means there is less and less room for you, intense reality checks can be seen in the light of day with physical, clear evidence that may be deeply uncomfortable and emotional. What you really want and what you know to be true can no longer pass through the narrow opening you have allowed it. The tension can no longer be sustained. Today the dam breaks. It’s time to revisit the terms. Say what you need without making someone prove their devotion by guessing. Eat, ground yourself, and let your body settle before making a permanent decision under emotional pressure. Ask what would actually keep you safe, and what merely keeps someone else within reach.
Together we rise
Suze 🔥
Any experts in the #Idris totality checker (or totality checking in general?) have any hints on a simple way to convince the computer that append for finger trees is total?
https://codeberg.org/bss/idris-sized-sequence/src/branch/main/src/SizedSequence.idr#L124
The above code simply asserts it, which is also what I had to do last time in my type-aligned library.
It's "obviously" true to me, because the sizes for both the left and right arguments are decreasing: the left argument is at least missing the head and the right argument is at least missing the tail. But, I can't figure out the assert_smaller invocations to use to show that to the computer.
I'm not even sure how to begin to approach this using Accessible or WellFormed, since the recursive call is non-uniform: it's on sequences of 2-3 nodes instead of sequences of individual elements.
I wonder if one reason we've seen so much growth in the #FarRight in the last decade is that pretty much everyone who actually fought in or even just lived through WWII has now passed on.
The philosopher George Santayana famously wrote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Not only that, but I think a lot of these raise-the-flags, stop-the-boats folk genuinely believe that their ancestors from that time would support what they're doing — when probably the opposite is true.
I'm trying to get some help to kill this stupid scoria boss in Gears of War, so I made a post in looking for a group. The word kill is too violent for xBox live. I had to change it to beat in order to create the group. The same is true for "unalive." This really happened. Not a joke.
I brushed my teeth this morning. Hours later my arm still hurts, and I will have to be very careful with my right hand for the next couple days until it fully recovers. This is a typical day.
I feel like not even my doctors actually get the true severity of this illness. #LongCovid #MECFS
A place is the easiest thing in the world to describe and the hardest to describe without giving it away. That is what makes places such a good category for this kind of game. Everyone knows a market, a ferry or a launderette, and everyone has a different memory of it. These 30 imposter game words about places are picked for that mix of familiarity and surprise.
What makes a place a good word?
A place with a smell, a sound and a routine. A ferry terminal has engines and gulls; a launderette has warmth and a hum. A clue about the sound is true and personal. A clue about the function is safe and obvious. The strongest words allow both, and the table argues about which a clue was.
Around town
Leisure and nature
Buildings with a story
How do you clue a place?
Use the senses. For "launderette", "warm" or "humming" works. For "ferry terminal", "salt" or "waiting". Avoid the function, because the spy will guess it. And avoid famous landmarks by name, since they identify the word at once.
How does the spy handle a place category?
The spy hears the category and thinks of types: indoor or outdoor, busy or quiet, old or new. The first clue from a civilian narrows these. The risk for a spy is giving a clue that fits only one kind of place. A safe spy says something sensory and general: "busy", "echoey", "bright".
What do civilians do wrong?
They name the activity. If the word is "bowling alley", "pins" is the first clue everyone thinks of. A better clue is the smell of shoes, or the sound of a strike from the next lane. Sensory clues give the spy less and prove more.
How do you play it as a story game?
After the reveal, each player says a memory they have of the place. The table learns how differently the same word lands for people. It is a quiet, warm way to end a round.
How do you add your own places?
Write down ten places from your own neighbourhood, the ones your friends would know: the bakery on the corner, the park with the broken swing, the station café. Local words are the strongest fuel for a spy game online or offline, because every player has a memory of them and nobody outside the group can bluff. Mix them with the list above, and the table will find itself laughing at its own streets.
It also helps to include a few places that are almost the same, like a launderette and a car wash, so the clues overlap and the suspicion grows.
Playing it online and at home
The game deals the words, so you can play who's the spy with a table of three to eight, or twelve around one phone, without preparing anything.
A closing thought
A good place word is a small door into a memory. Use it to let the table in, and give each player a moment after the reveal to say where they last stood in that very place. The stories are better than the scores.

nobody sane defends shitlibs. i defend voting and engaging to move the #democrats left because we can't have 3rd party in our shitty #fptp voting system
the problem is we get voices who *only* complain. this creates a psychological effect: alienation and demotivation
if people criticize then say " #vote" i love them
if people only criticize, and offer no solutions, i am left wondering at their true motivations
we have to speak in solutions not simply complain

Hach, was für ein wunderschönes Lied 😍 und was für eine Performance ...
In different countries and at different times, there have been actresses who seem to embody the same archetype—Sharon Stone, Margarita Terekhova, and others. These are women who possess intelligence, a unique kind of beauty, and a distinct, palpable quality. Their personal lives are beside the point; their true nature always shines through their roles. They are simply fantastic.
"The Luddites, in nineteenth century England, were highly skilled workers, who saw a few capitalists growing rich by introducing machinery to substitute for their own skill. They set to work to burn the factories down. The Luddites thought that if they could only destroy the machines, the problem would be solved. But technological advances could not be stopped by a few broken frames. The Luddites ultimately failed in their efforts because they failed to grasp the material forces driving the march of history. The machines prevailed because the ruling class wanted to cut costs and increase profits. The evils of the Industrial Revolution grew out of the possession of the means of production which grants the power to determine how technology is used. The same is true today, and it is why similar attempts to boycott AI are doomed to fail. Those who want to stop these systems from being put into production are merely attacking the symptoms of the underlying material relations.
It is not the inherent qualities of machinery that ought to be condemned, but rather the class relations within which it happens to be applied. This aspect of the problem was articulated clearly for the first time by Karl Marx. He showed that technology does not exist as an isolated phenomenon, but is dominated by the social structure of the society in which it happens to occur. To control the means of production collectively is to make technology serve human needs rather than merely increase the profits of the rich. That is the very lesson that the Luddites missed, and that a great many critics of AI are missing today as well."
