    Entre maleza caminos dañados del ejido La Curva, municipio de Xalisco -a unos 20 kilómetros de Tepic-, el Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) mantuvo en funcionamiento, desde 2019, un complejo clandestino de tortura, ejecución e incineración de cuerpos conocido como «La Casita» o el predio «El Dragón», según los nuevos indicios dados a conocer por las autoridades.

    A dos días de que se cumplan ocho meses de la muerte de Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, exlíder y fundador del cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), sus allegados instalaron una ofrenda floral con temática del Día de Muertos, en el cementerio denominado Recinto de la Paz, uno de los más exclusivos de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara. A través de su cuenta de Instagram, la Florería Di Aroma -que ya también había decorado la tumba de Mecho en su cumpleaños, el pasado 17 de julio- dio a conocer el arreglo sin mencionar de quien se trataba el sepulcro.

    La Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) formuló anoche una imputación por el delito de traición a la patria contra el exfiscal de Chihuahua César Jáuregui durante una audiencia inicial que se desarrolló, en su mayor parte, a puerta cerrada. A petición del Ministerio Público, la diligencia se realizó de manera privada bajo el argumento de que la difusión del contenido del expediente podría representar un riesgo para la seguridad nacional. Además, la revelación de testimonios y nombres de servidores públicos mexicanos y extranjeros podría generar «un debate internacional», sostuvo la representación de la fiscalía.

    Un tribunal federal en Nueva York postergó ayer por quinta ocasión consecutiva una audiencia preparatoria a juicio para el narcotraficante mexicano Vicente El Viceroy Carrillo Fuentes. Con este nuevo aplazamiento, la corte ha otorgado un año y medio de negociaciones el excapo mexicano. La nueva fecha que estableció la jueza Joan Azrack le otorga a Carrillo Fuentes otros casi dos meses para negociar, hasta el 15 de diciembre. El aplazamiento otorgado este martes fue en respuesta a una petición del abogado defensor de El Viceroy, Rubén Olivas, para que el exlíder del cartel de Ciudad Juárez avance en negociaciones con la fiscalía.

    Un juez federal negó la suspensión definitiva a Luis Cárdenas Palomino, exdirector de Seguridad Regional de la extinta Policía Federal (PF), para tener acceso a las carpetas de investigación que la Fiscalía General de la República mantiene abiertas en su contra y que lo mantienen preso. Hace dos semanas Cárdenas Palomino cumplió su sentencia de 5 años y 3 meses de prisión por el delito de tortura contra Mario Vallarta Cisneros y su sobrino, Sergio Cortez Vallarta, así como de los hermanos Eduardo y Ricardo Estrada Granados para obligarlos a aceptar que formaban parte de la banda de secuestradores Los Zodiaco.

Según su relato, a mediodía salió en una Ford F-150 blanca, propiedad de la AEI, junto con Oseguera y dos hombres a quienes no conocía y hablaban inglés.

    Los elementos de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA) muertos en abril pasado en un accidente después de un operativo en Chihuahua no contaban con autorización para estar en México, según las pruebas que tiene la Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) contra César Jáuregui. John Dudley Black y Richard Leiter Johnston estuvieron en territorio mexicano para dar un supuesto adiestramiento sobre la operación de drones.

    La audiencia judicial en contra de Mario Marín, exgobernador de Puebla, por el caso de tortura contra la periodista Lydia Cacho fue diferida a una nueva fecha por problemas técnicos. Al intentar iniciar la diligencia virtual convocada por el Juzgado Cuarto de Distrito en Quintana Roo, la defensa de Cacho detectó que la cuenta de la plataforma Webex aparecía inhabilitada. Esta falla impidió llevar a cabo la sesión que abría paso a la emisión de una sentencia condenatoria o absolutoria contra el exmandatario. Esta era la penúltima etapa del proceso penal y es el paso previo indispensable para que el juzgador dicte sentencia.

    El alcalde de Monterrey, Adrián de la Garza, el personaje con más posibilidades de romper la continuidad de Movimiento Ciudadano en la entidad, explica que la realidad del gobierno de Samuel García ya no puede ser ocultado mediante redes sociales. Asegura que financieramente, el estado está quebrado; se han pedido créditos de corto plazo que no van a poder cumplir a finales de la administración y el servicio de la deuda es ya insostenible. «La gente de NL lo que quiere es rumbo y orden, quiere también un gobierno participativo donde todos tengan la oportunidad de influir».

    Los cinco hombres detenidos el pasado domingo durante los actos vandálicos registrados en el marco de la manifestación por la crisis del agua fueron trasladados a un complejo penitenciario, donde quedaron disposición de un juzgado para el inicio de las audiencias correspondientes. Los sospechosos fueron aprehendidos cuando viajaban en una camioneta en las inmediaciones de la calzada Independencia la avenida República, mediante una intervención de la Policía de Guadalajara. De acuerdo con las autoridades, presuntamente habrían incendiado el pórtico del edificio del Poder Judicial.

    El Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) y el gobierno estatal evalúan los daños que sufrieron los palacios de gobierno, legislativo y de justicia durante la manifestación por el agua del domingo pasado –en una jornada de 12 horas– cuya reparación se prevé en 15 millones de pesos. Los tres edificios están catalogados como monumentos históricos dentro del primer cuadro de Guadalajara, por lo cual quedan a resguardo bajo la normatividad federal y estatal de protección al patrimonio, lo que obliga al INAH a realizar peritajes y, en su caso, a levantar las denuncias que se deriven. En el palacio de gobierno, construido entre 1750 y 1790. Ventanas y portones permanecieron tapiadas con madera la semana pasada, pero el domingo estuvieron sin protección, lo que permitió su destrucción casi total durante la protesta.

    La iniciativa de Ley de Rentas Justas, Razonables y Asequibles, presentada por la jefa de Gobierno, Clara Brugada, tiene vacíos frente a los posibles efectos de limitar los aumentos anuales de renta a la inflación del año anterior, pues los propietarios podrían fijar precios iniciales más altos para anticiparse a esa restricción, advirtieron especialistas en la materia.

    Simpatizantes de la diputada Nora Arias afirmaron que retirarán el plantón que mantienen afuera de la sede del Instituto Electoral de la Ciudad de México (IECM) hasta que la dependencia se pronuncie respecto a la controversia que sostienen por la dirigencia del PRD local. La manifestación, que cumplió ayer siete días, la realizan porque el árbitro electoral no ha emitido una resolución sobre los requisitos de elegibilidad que debe de cumplir la actual directiva del PRD-Cdmx, encabezada por Alan Lobo, hijo del diputado federal morenista, Víctor Hugo Lobo. Esto luego de que varios de los perredistas del grupo de Lobo fueron acusados de tener vínculos con otros partidos políticos, entre ellos, Morena. El 26 de agosto, el Tribunal Electoral capitalino determinó que el IECM fue omiso en hacer dicha evaluación, por lo que le ordenó pronunciarse al respecto, lo cual no ha realizado.

    A poco más de una semana de su muerte, la Cámara de Diputados rindió homenaje póstumo al periodista y columnista de Excélsior, Francisco Garfias Antolín, y convirtió el Salón de Plenos, donde durante casi cuatro décadas reportó los debates, las negociaciones y los entretelones del poder, en escenario de despedida al cronista parlamentario que hizo de la crítica una forma de ejercer la libertad de expresión.

    El Poder Judicial del Estado de México (PJEM) se comprometió a combatir la corrupción, el cohecho y los abusos de autoridad mediante un pronunciamiento firmado por los tribunales Superior de Justicia (TSJEM), de Disciplina Judicial (TDJ) y el Órgano de Administración Judicial (OAJ). El documento Cero Tolerancia a la Corrupción Cohecho, encabezado por el magistrado presidente del TSJEM, Héctor Macedo García, establece un plazo de seis meses para desarrollar investigaciones disciplinarias. Las posibles faltas administrativas delitos deberán ser atendidos por las autoridades competentes, con apego a la ley, respeto a los derechos humanos y garantía del debido proceso.

    Un juez de control vinculó a proceso a ocho personas físicas y tres empresas por su probable responsabilidad en el delito de homicidio culposo, tras la muerte de los fotoperiodistas Miguel Ángel Rojas Berenice Giles, ocurrida el 5 de abril de 2025 al desplomarse una estructura decorativa instalada sobre una grúa durante el festival Axe Ceremonia, en el Parque Bicentenario de la Ciudad de México. Una de las ocho personas vinculadas es la encargada de Protección Civil, María «N», a quien procesaron el 15 de octubre.

    Apenas 6 días después de que la justicia federal ordenara restituirlo en su anterior adscripción, la Policía de Puebla cateó el domicilio y detuvo ayer al Juez local Enrique Romero Razo, por delitos relacionados con un proceso de 2015. Grupo Reforma publicó que el miércoles un Juez federal ordenó devolverlo al juzgado en el que despachó hasta el 30 de junio advirtió que denunciaría ante la FGR al Consejo de la Judicatura del Poder Judicial estatal si incumplía el fallo en 24 horas.

    El Pleno de la SCJN confirmó la multa impuesta por la entonces Cofece a un banco por no cumplir con la entrega de información en una investigación de posibles prácticas monopólicas relacionadas con el pago a meses sin intereses con tarjetas de crédito. Aunque la Corte no explicó el cambio, circulan dos versiones extraoficiales: una apunta a inconformidades de un grupo reducido de ministros que pidieron evitar suspicacias sobre los turnos; la otra, a un acuerdo para “fortalecer la democracia institucional”, la pluralidad e igualdad.

    Por ocho votos contra uno, el Pleno de la Corte precisó que, a pesar de que el artículo 2 de la Ley de Amparo establece que, a falta de una disposición expresa, dicho Código debe aplicarse en los juicios de garantías, esto no sucederá hasta que el CNPCF se encuentre vigente. El fallo del máximo tribunal del país fue emitido la tarde de este martes, prácticamente al mismo tiempo que la Cámara de Diputados acordaba retrasar hasta el 1 de julio de 2031 la fecha límite para implementar en forma gradual el citado Código, mismo que fue aprobado desde el 2023.

    Por unanimidad, el Pleno avaló cuatro penalizaciones económicas impuestas a las empresas Cadaco Construcciones, S.A. de C.V., y Cinco Contemporánea, S.A. de C.V., por incumplimientos relacionados con una obra de reforzamiento estructural y remodelación del Edificio Américas, en Guadalajara, Jalisco, cuyo contrato ascendió a 278 millones 938 mil 103 pesos.

    La Suprema Corte validó las reformas de Morelos sobre aguinaldo, jubilación y otras prestaciones laborales para personas trabajadoras sujetas a convenios con la Federación. Dicha resolución corresponde a la Acción de Inconstitucionalidad 11/2026, discutida en sesión de este 20 de octubre. El Pleno determinó que la diferenciación es constitucional porque quienes se rigen exclusivamente por el régimen estatal y quienes están sujetos a convenios federales pueden encontrarse en situaciones jurídicas distintas. Esta medida delimita las obligaciones laborales y financieras de cada orden de gobierno, evita la duplicidad de prestaciones y mantiene el acceso a la seguridad social conforme a las reglas aplicables en cada caso.

    La Corte admitió un amparo directo en revisión promovido por la Unión Nacional de Técnicos y Profesionistas Petroleros, de acuerdo con un comunicado difundido por la organización sindical. El recurso plantea cuestionamientos sobre los derechos laborales de los trabajadores, particularmente en materia de representación sindical y clasificación del personal de confianza. La organización considera que la revisión representa un avance en su disputa laboral, aunque la admisión del recurso no significa que la Corte haya resuelto a favor de los trabajadores.

    El Gobierno Federal, mediante la Consejería Jurídica, impugnó la reforma electoral de Chiapas aprobada el 14 de septiembre, que ordena registrar candidaturas de mujeres en 62 de 123 municipios para las elecciones de 2027. El expediente fue acumulado a otro promovido por el Partido Acción Nacional (PAN). La aplicación de la regla sobre candidaturas femeninas dependerá de lo que determine la Suprema Corte sobre las acciones acumuladas.

    La también saxofonista de origen mixteco, expresó su esperanza y gratitud por la decisión de la Suprema Corte de atraer el caso de su agresor, Juan Antonio Vera Carrizal, quien la atacó con ácido. Ríos destacó que esta intervención no solo representa una oportunidad para ella; sino para todas las mujeres mexicanas afectadas por la violencia ácida. Agradeció a las y los Ministros, especialmente al presidente Hugo Aguilar; a las ministras Loretta Ortiz, Yasmín Esquivel y Lenia Batres; así como a los ministros Arístides Guerrero, Giovanni Figueroae Irving Espinosa, por su compromiso con la justicia de género. Ríos explicó que la Corte revisará la legalidad del proceso, no la culpabilidad, y expresó su confianza en que esto permitirá avanzar hacia el juicio oral.

    mencionó la importancia de un tribunal tripártico con perspectiva de género, ya que este derecho le fue negado en Oaxaca. La activista se refirió también sobre la Ley Malena, que reconoce y castiga la violencia ácida en 22 estados de México, y subrayó la necesidad de visibilizar y abordar este tipo de violencia de manera más efectiva. Finalmente, compartió cómo su familia, la sociedad y la música la han sostenido en su lucha, y enfatizó la importancia de trascender el papel de víctima para vivir plenamente.

    Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, secretario de Economía, descartó que los problemas de inseguridad y el huachicol fiscal afecten la postura del país en las negociaciones comerciales entre México y Estados Unidos. Agregó que nunca le han planteado los amagos, los señalamientos y las advertencias hechas por Donald Trump, presidente de Estados Unidos, respecto al problema del narcotráfico en México.

    La economía mexicana aceleró su marcha en los últimos meses y apunta a un crecimiento anual de 3.2 por ciento en agosto y de 3.7 por ciento en septiembre, que sería el mayor avance en tres años. De acuerdo con analistas, este dinamismo superó lo previsto y respondió a un mejor desempeño de las manufacturas y la inversión, lo que podría reflejarse en un mayor crecimiento en todo el año.

    Las manifestaciones violentas registradas en Francia el fin de semana pasado deben ser sancionadas por la vía judicial, aseguró Delphine Borione, embajadora de Francia en México. «Es parte de la vida democrática que haya manifestación, pero por supuesto la violencia tiene que ser condenada y tratada de manera judicial», dijo la diplomática. Tras su participación en el Foro Económico Francia México, inaugurado este martes 20 de octubre, Borione señaló que el gobierno de su país planteó escuchar las demandas populares.

    La congestión vehicular en las principales zonas metropolitanas del país representa un costo de oportunidad de 203,316 millones de pesos anuales, monto que no sale directamente del bolsillo de los usuarios sino que es una estimación que cuantifica el valor económico del tiempo que las personas dejan de dedicar a actividades como trabajar, estudiar, cuidar a otros o descansar mientras están atrapadas en el tráfico.

    El modelo Construcción, Mantenimiento, Rehabilitación y Operación (CMRO) propuesto por el gobernador Pablo Lemus para concesionar a una empresa privada el acueducto sustituto Chapala a Guadalajara quedó descartado y lo más probable es que el financiamiento salga de los presupuestos federal y estatal, admitió el emecista en reuniones con alcaldes, académicos, empresarios y especialistas en temas hídricos.

    Empresas del sector inmobiliario, retail y hasta gasolinerías podrían ampararse contra la reforma a la Ley del ISR, pues los límites a las deducciones, pérdidas fiscales y a la determinación de pagos provisionales afectarían la disponibilidad de recursos de las empresas desde principios del 2027, dijeron especialistas. El profesor de derecho fiscal y constitucional de la UNAM, Juvenal Lobato Díaz, aseguró que sí existen elementos para cuestionar la constitucionalidad de la reforma a la Ley del ISR, por lo que existe la posibilidad de que contribuyentes busquen ampararse. «Sin embargo, dadas las condiciones que tenemos del Poder Judicial desde hace un año, después de la elección judicial, veo difícil que pueda haber alguna respuesta favorable por parte de los tribunales», aseguró el abogado y académico.

    Rechazada por la oposición e incluso por el morenista Ricardo Sheffield, la nueva ley que obliga al pago digital y electrónico concluyó su proceso legislativo al ser aprobada en el Senado con 73 votos a favor 34 en contra, enviándose al Ejecutivo para su publicación. Con esto comienza el fin del uso de efectivo como única forma de pago en el país.

    La mayoría en la Cámara de Diputados aplazó hasta 2031 la entrada en vigor del Código Nacional de Procedimientos Civiles y Familiares, que debía operar a más tardar en 2027, con ello difirió la unificación de las normas para resolución de conflictos entre particulares, como divorcios, herencias, pensiones y juicios testamentarios. En la sesión de ayer, los partidos opositores resaltaron que la decisión «de patear el bote» se debe a la falta de presupuesto para homologar los procesos en los estados y a la inexperiencia de los jueces elegidos en 2025.

    La Comisión Nacional de Elecciones de Morena cerró sus registros para las coordinaciones municipales de los Comités de Defensa de la Transformación y Soberanía Nacional, que son eventuales candidaturas a las más de mil 800 demarcaciones que se renovarán en la elección intermedia de 2027. La comisión, a cargo de Citlalli Hernández, recibió las inscripciones del 8 al 18 de octubre y ahora tiene como límite el 31 de diciembre de este año para publicar los registros aprobados.

    La presidente nacional de Morena, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, advirtió que quien decida irse del partido lo estará traicionando. La declaración ocurre en medio de las diferencias internas surgidas tras la designación de Clara Luz Flores Carrizales como coordinadora estatal para la Defensa de la Transformación y la Soberanía en Nuevo León.

  2. ...so hopefully over this week I'll build up my vocal and muscular reserves to give this wonderful song the treatment it deserves. This work is also allied with a performance at NEC in the second week of November, in which a snippet of this song will be part of a larger composition built around rainy-season themes. Fun.

It’s a win for democracy, the environment, and the rule of law that will reverberate globally. It’s also an important defeat for global villains: the Trump administration, the far-right movement, and Zuckerberg. And it provides something of a roadmap for those trying to fight authoritarians around the world."

    Which character would survive the longest if suddenly dropped into our world (…)?

    Ketchup

    All the indigenous characters I wrote about would survive until they die of old age. They don't depend on our understanding of how the world should work. They know their way, and everybody around them does too. Hitchhiking to the nearest reservation will do the trick, and nobody from any government or any kind of official people will ever notice what happened.

  9. Greetings from Dublin! 🍀
    Beannachtaí ó Bhaile Átha Cliath! 🇮🇪

    I am joining @w3c 's TPAC Conference together with Sabine Schaller. My focus is set on Web Payments, Web Payment Security, and Web Authentication, where my work at @Interledger Foundation is, but I will definitely join some other rooms. And I look forward to meeting Mozillians, friends, and new people, and learning more about everyone's work in the standards world. 🤝

    If you are around, please do say hi! 👋

    Hell to the yeah!

    If, as a democratically minded person, you choose to use the Fediverse instead of billionaire controlled social media, you are using it right. The rest is just add-ons.

    Sure, I'll teach you the ropes around here, should you so desire, but not as gatekeeping!

  11. 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:

    • Implicit boundaries. "Don't call the data layer from the HTTP handler" exists as a norm, maybe a lint rule, maybe an ADR nobody reads. It does not exist anywhere a code reader encounters while working in the repo.
    • Unwritten dependency policy. Which libraries are approved, which are banned, which need a security review. Usually a Slack thread. Sometimes a wiki page. Never in the path of work.
    • Tribal domain models. What a "tenant" means in this system, which fields are PII, which service owns which concept. Spread across PR conversations, onboarding docs from 2019, and the memory of whoever's been here longest.

    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:

    • Explicit interface definitions between modules: generated clients, protobuf schemas, OpenAPI specs for anything crossing a service boundary. An agent that hallucinates a function signature doesn't produce a subtly wrong call that compiles. It produces a type error, immediately.
    • Strict types end to end. No 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.
    • Machine-checked policy where you can get it: lint rules and dependency analyzers that encode "this module may not import that one" as something the build fails on, not something the reviewer remembers.

    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:

    • AST-based indexing and retrieval, tools that navigate the code's structure (definitions, call graphs, usages) instead of streaming its text. The agent gets "here are the three functions relevant to this task and their signatures," not "here's 200KB of the module they live in."
    • The in-repo standard provides the constants: domain model, boundaries, banned deps. The retrieval layer provides the variables: exactly the code relevant to this task, nothing else.
    • Budget context like a designed API surface, not an all-you-can-eat buffer. Teams that do report the same thing: smaller, sharper contexts outperform complete ones, on cost and quality, almost every time.

    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.

    • If a new human developer takes three weeks to understand your architecture, why do you expect an AI agent to infer it from raw files?
    • Is your codebase structured to guide autonomous agents, or is your architecture stored purely in your senior engineers' heads? And if it's the second one: does that feel like security, or a countdown?

    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

  12. I sit here, atop a mountain of rubble—what was once a home that held the details of my life and the warmth of my memories. It is as if time itself has come to a standstill, leaving me alone to grapple with the bitterness of loss and the harshness of reality.
    Amidst these scattered ruins, I am not merely bidding farewell to silent stones; I am saying goodbye to an entire lifetime—to dreams that, in the blink of an eye, have turned to ash. I look around and see nothing but destruction. I call out to the world, hoping that the echo of my voice might pierce this deadly silence and bring forth a helping hand—a rescue.
    Tears choke my words, and my heart is gripped by agony as I recall every corner, every smile that once graced this place—before a cruel and unjust war stole it all away. What kind of cruelty is this, that leaves us to carry the wreckage of our own souls atop the wreckage of our homes? What kind of fate is this, that forces us to stand face-to-face with such a desolate, barren void??

Amazon Security Trombone continuously extends and retracts your attack surface visibility across all seven slides of your AWS environment, automatically detecting misconfigurations before they reach the bell end of your network perimeter. Like all AWS brass instruments, it integrates natively with IAM, which means you will need between four and nine policies, two resource-based conditions, and a service-linked role before it produces any sound. Currently available in us-east-1, with additional regions planned for a future date that will not be announced until you have already architected around the limitation.

  14. Guess I'll do the album thing, too 🙂

    Really hard to pick only nine, and when I started out deliberately listening to music, my taste was... wildly different (or, more precisely, non-existent).

    So I limited (heh) myself to the stuff that is still in line with my current taste, and glossed over 2 Unlimited and DJ Bobo and a lot of other Eurodance acts 🫣

    Since around 1997 it's been mostly crossover, hard rock, indie rock, and finally metal in all its forms.

    stands a perfectly groomed very young man in front of me, beckoning me over to his desk. So, back up I go, following him; in less than an hour, everything is sorted. The house isn’t sold yet, of course. An appraiser still needs to take a look at it. My mind is already racing ahead, because there’s no way I can keep getting around by bicycle; I wouldn’t survive that. I can’t take the company van away from the guys, either, so I need a car. A rental, for the time being.

  18. our final play session was really something, we ended up solving a fairly sophisticated puzzle while split into three groups, with pretty good radio discipline and remote signaling and all the rest.

    still some PTT issues and a few "over"s that didn't end the message, but a far cry from our early play sessions where we had comms conflicts and did a lot of disorganized wandering around!

    a lot of funny moments where stuff that seems obvious to me (because of exposure in scouting) was not something my friends were thinking about until the problem dawned on them or somesuch. and real orienteering and collaboration skills were developed in the process!

  19. I’m building EatNeat, a mobile app that helps people turn a nutrition plan into a manageable routine—before “What should I eat?” takes over the evening.

    A lot of meal-planning tools focus on creating a plan. I’m focused on what comes after: remembering it, finding something practical when hunger clocks in, and tracking what you ate without turning dinner into a spreadsheet assignment.

    EatNeat is still a prototype. Here’s what’s working, what I’m figuring out, and how the mascot Bitey provides moral support.

    The core loop


    The app is organized around a simple cycle:

    1. Create a meal plan or bring in an existing one.
    2. See the day’s meals and get reminders at their scheduled times.
    3. Browse meal ideas that match selected constraints.
    4. Capture or mark a meal as eaten.
    5. Review progress over the day and across recent days.

    The Today screen brings schedule and progress together. Meals can be marked eaten when their scheduled time arrives, and progress includes estimated nutrition metrics. The user stays in control; the app helps without handing out gold stars for lunch.

    AI as a helper, not the whole app

    EatNeat has AI-assisted flows for personalized plans, meal recommendations, recipes, and optional photos. Requests include selected filters and nutrition targets. Practical constraints are requirements: an “under 15 minutes” meal can’t hide a 40-minute oven step, and equipment filters should match the actual cooking method.

    Food photos are optional and handled separately from meal text. Without a photo, the meal still appears with a bundled animation or illustration. The recipe shouldn’t vanish because its glamour shot is late.

    The app can call configured service endpoints. During local development, some AI flows can call Gemini directly with a development environment key. A production app should route requests through an authenticated server and keep provider keys off the client.

    AI nutrition values are estimates. EatNeat is not a medical tool, and the prototype does not treat a missed meal as a failure or make clinical recommendations.

    Local-first state and reminders


    Plans and meal logs are stored on-device with AsyncStorage. Writes are debounced and serialized, and local notifications remind users at planned meal times—because remembering breakfast shouldn’t require remembering to remember breakfast.

    Private meal-log photos stay on-device. If a user uploads a plan photo for parsing, it goes to the configured plan-reading service, with that made clear before upload.

    The stack


    The current app uses:

    • Expo and React Native for the mobile app
    • Expo Router for file-based navigation
    • TypeScript for app screens, state, services, and UI components
    • React Native Paper for a small set of interface components
    • Reanimated for navigation and interface motion
    • AsyncStorage for local plan and log persistence
    • Expo Notifications for scheduled meal reminders


    What is still a prototype


    The accountability feed displays sample posts and does not publish to a social service. Some preview screens use illustrative nutrition data. The app doesn’t ship a backend, so server-based AI features need a configured endpoint. For now, the social circle is supportive and fictional.

    I’m also breaking larger screens into focused components. The Today screen’s progress visualization and schedule calculations now live outside its route file, making the daily flow easier to evolve.

    What I’m learning


    The most useful decision so far: keep the basic habit loop independent of AI. Meal ideas work without generated photos; logging works without image analysis; plans can be reviewed when a service is down. A flaky model shouldn’t get veto power over lunch.

    AI can add convenience, but a slow request or missing key shouldn’t block the everyday action. The meal still exists even if the pixels don’t.

    EatNeat is under active development. I’m currently refining the meal flow, reminders, and progress UI while building toward a more complete, privacy-conscious backend.

    If you’re building a habit-focused app, I’d love to hear how you decide which parts should depend on AI and which should keep working on their own.#buildinpublic #mobile #showdev #software #coding #development #engineering #inclusive #community

  20. Google Anti Gravity

    Okay, I have been struggling with an issue with Gnome 50 for about a year now. The issue was that when I right clicked an App Icon on the App Grid and tried to pin it to the Dash there was a long delay, sometimes as long as 3 seconds. The same thing just moving around App Icons on the Dash or unpinning them. This was, as you can imagine, really annoying.


    Today, I installed Google's Anti Gravity and after setting it up I started having Gemini analyze the issue. I was able to work out a solution in around 30 minutes! After trying to comb through the Gnome Shell code base for over a year. I had totally missed the issue. By consolidating all of my App Icons into about a dozen Folders I had created a bottle neck for Gnome Shell. It was actually and easy work around after I found out what the issue was.


    This was a hard to find bug in Gnome 50. I would have likely never found it by manually pouring through the source code. I am very happy to have my system performing up to specs now. I really do love Anti Gravity! Best new tool of the year for my toolbox!

  21. Hilarious that Dan Tehan, shadow energy minister and the first semi-autonomous robot with a broad Aussie accent, is demanding the resignation of energy minister Chris Bowen. Why? Because of the massive cost blowout of Snowy Hydro 2, a scheme which Dan's government started and then controlled for five years until they lost government. It's gone from an estimate of $2bn to around 25bn. Labor's 2023 review found most of the design had not even been done ("Design immaturity"), not to mention too few geological core samples had been taken along the tunnel paths, resulting in the tunnel borer Florence the Machine being stuck in a sinkhole for 11 months. It's equally hilarious that Angus Taylor, energy minister in 2017 and responsible for the stuffups, is also calling for Chris Bowen's resignation. #auspol #snowyhydro

  22. And it many ways it began with a mostly-forgotten, $1.25 mass-market paperback book, but a relatively obscure author, published during what was likely the height of the fiction-printing era.

    I'm so glad to have been around during that time, and so thankful to have had a parent that encouraged me to leverage it.

  23. There were some probs with "1984" -- Orwell was engaged in dying, it didn't make for a sunny outlook; also some time pressure there.
    The Thought Police needed a helicopter to see in your windows; everyone didn't carry a device that can expose everything your mind wants to engage with; the proles indeed wouldn't be so contented & clueless (not all of them) ...
    I used to think, "They had nothing to make you see what isn't there"
    Oh that problem's overcome now.

    But people at last would think, "Really life's hard enough, why will we make an effort to bring children into this wretchedness & slavery?"
    ...Seems to be happening?

    A form of words you used to hear around East San Jose:
    "This shit can no longer be going on"


  24. As the darkness of life's winter begins to settle in, the bitter cold of desperation, isolation, a body and mind in decay, bring forth anxiety that accelerates exhaustion that amplifies physical pain, that drowns the soul beneath a hopeless sheet of unforgiving ice, the winters skies grow forever darker, not a star to shine nor guide a descending decline into eternal obscurity, for ones voice screams out for anyone around only to find no sound to come out, reaching out in utter darkness for someone or something to hold, to find your feet have no ground to step upon, a bleak and vacant landscape that is far more like an endless void in the cosmos than existence as a corporeal being, to witness your fading days and rapid decay, as others ignore the plight of hell, for this winters bite is lasting far longer than a single night;

  26. Weekends are Too Short

    This past work week felt like the longest six months of my life. This weekend? Over in a blink. Well… it is Sunday evening so its not quite over yet, but… you know what I mean.

    I didn’t do anything creative this weekend. No music, no photos. I did run a bunch of errands and I did some work around the house and that’s all positive. The biggest thing though was voting. My wife, Jen, and I participated in our city’s early voting program. One step closer to the inevitable blue tsunami that’s coming next month. It doesn’t really affect much though as we’re in Massachusetts and our state (along with California) is basically the liberal headquarters of the US. Still, it feels good.

    In other news, we are seven days away from our next Rush concert. I’m ready right now.

    My beloved bride made a huge, fancy dinner tonight and it was fantastic. So good. Thank you, my love.

    I feel like I had a lot more to write about tonight but I have somehow lost the thread. Suffice to say that trump is a pedophile and a rapist and a fascist and he needs to be impeached, removed from office, and put in jail for the rest of his miserable life.

    If you live in the US, vote.

    Unlike a lot of other states, none of my local races are likely to be close this time around, and we’ll probably be sending the incumbents back to the Senate and House. Still, it feels nice to get it done with.

  30. Smart Contract Vulnerability Surface Analysis: Compound V3


    Target Protocol: Compound V3 (TVL: $1372.5M)

    Smart Contract Vulnerability Surface Analysis

    Compound V3 (Ethereum & L2s) – $1.372 B TVL


    Prepared by: [Your Firm] – Senior DeFi Security Research & Auditing Team

    Date: 25 Oct 2026

    1. Executive Summary


    Compound V3 is the latest iteration of the flagship money‑market protocol, introducing isolated risk markets, dynamic supply caps, eMode (efficiency mode), and cross‑chain liquidity routing via the Comet architecture. The upgrade expands the attack surface considerably compared with V2, especially around:

    • Isolated collateral logic – per‑market risk parameters that can be mis‑configured or bypassed.
    • Supply‑cap enforcement – mutable caps that rely on off‑chain governance and on‑chain “cap‑manager” contracts.
    • Cross‑chain bridge adapters – L2‑specific adapters that expose replay‑ and re‑entrancy‑prone entry points.
    • eMode “efficiency” pricing – a separate oracle feed that can be manipulated without affecting the main price feed.

    Overall, the protocol’s core accounting (interest accrual, liquidation, and reward distribution) remains solid and inherits the battle‑tested design of Compound V2. However, the new modular components introduce several high‑impact vectors that, if exploited, could lead to partial or total loss of collateral, reward theft, or a systemic liquidity freeze.

    Overall Risk Score: 6.8 / 10 (Medium‑High).

    The score reflects a mature codebase with a strong test suite, but the complexity of new features and incomplete formal verification of bridge adapters keep the residual risk elevated.

    2. Identified Attack Vectors

    #VectorAffected Component(s)DescriptionPotential ImpactLikelihood*1Isolated Market Parameter ManipulationIsolatedMarket.sol, RiskManager.solIsolated markets have independent collateral factors, liquidation thresholds, and supply caps that can be updated by governance. An attacker with a short‑term governance proposal (e.g., via a flash‑loan‑backed vote) could lower the collateral factor or raise the liquidation incentive, forcing premature liquidations.Forced liquidations → loss of user capital; market panic → TVL drain.Medium2Supply‑Cap Bypass via SupplyCapManagerSupplyCapManager.sol, Comet.solThe cap is enforced only on mint paths. Direct token transfers to the market’s underlying (e.g., via transferFrom on the underlying ERC‑20) can increase the market’s cash balance without updating the internal totalSupply, allowing the market to exceed its cap and create “phantom” liquidity that can be withdrawn later.Over‑minting → inflation of cTokens, dilution of existing holders.Low‑Medium3eMode Oracle ManipulationEModeOracle.sol, PriceOracleAggregator.soleMode uses a dedicated price feed (often a Chainlink aggregator with a reduced update frequency). An attacker who can front‑run or manipulate the underlying feed (e.g., via a flash loan on a low‑liquidity pair) can temporarily distort collateral valuations, enabling under‑collateralized borrowing.Under‑collateralized debt → liquidation loss, possible protocol insolvency in the eMode market.Medium4Cross‑Chain Bridge Re‑entrancyL2BridgeAdapter.sol, CrossChainRouter.solBridge adapters call external L2 contracts (e.g., Optimism’s L2StandardBridge) and then update internal accounting. If the external call triggers a callback that re‑enters the bridge’s deposit/withdraw functions before the state is updated, an attacker can double‑count assets.Double‑spend of deposited assets → loss of funds equal to the bridge’s liquidity.Low5Interest‑Rate Model Exploit (Jump Rate)InterestRateModel.solThe new jump‑rate model uses a piecewise function with a “kink” that can be manipulated by feeding a large amount of cash into the market (via a flash loan) to temporarily push utilization below the kink, causing the borrow rate to drop dramatically. Borrowers can then take large loans at near‑zero rates before the utilization spikes back.Massive cheap borrowing → increased liquidation risk, potential loss of reserves.Medium6Reward Distribution Race ConditionRewardDistributor.sol, Comet.solRewards are minted per‑block based on a snapshot of supply/borrow balances. If a user performs a rapid supply/withdraw cycle within the same block, they may receive rewards for a larger balance than actually held at the end of the block.Over‑rewarding → inflation of COMP/COMET token supply, economic loss.Low7Upgrade‑Proxy Mis‑configurationProxyAdmin.sol, TransparentUpgradeableProxy.solThe protocol uses the OpenZeppelin Transparent Proxy pattern. An admin key (held by the DAO multisig) could be compromised, allowing an attacker to point the proxy to a malicious implementation.Full control over all markets → total fund exfiltration.Low (but high impact)8Denial‑of‑Service via Gas‑Heavy LiquidationsLiquidation.sol, Comet.solLiquidation transactions can become gas‑intensive when many borrowers are under‑collateralized simultaneously (e.g., after a price shock). If the gas limit is insufficient, liquidations fail, leaving the protocol in an insolvent state until a privileged actor manually intervenes.Stuck liquidations → protocol insolvency, loss of confidence.Medium9Flash‑Loan Re‑entrancy on borrow/repayComet.solThe borrow function updates the borrower’s debt after transferring the underlying token. A malicious contract can re‑enter via a fallback that calls borrow again, inflating its debt without proper accounting.Over‑borrowing → under‑collateralized positions, potential loss of reserves.Low‑Medium10Immutable Library Dependency VulnerabilitiesMath.sol, SafeCast.solThe protocol imports several OpenZeppelin libraries via immutable bytecode. If a library upgrade is performed without a full redeployment, a previously patched vulnerability (e.g., in SafeCast overflow checks) could be re‑introduced.Arithmetic overflow → balance mis‑calculations, fund loss.Low


    *Likelihood is assessed qualitatively based on current on‑chain data, known exploits in similar protocols, and the maturity of the code.

    3. Prioritized Technical Recommendations

    Critical (Score ≥ 8) – Immediate Action (≤ 2 weeks)

    #RecommendationRationaleImplementation StepsC‑1Hard‑code immutable eMode price feed & add fallbackPrevents a single compromised aggregator from corrupting collateral valuations.• Deploy a new EModeOracleV2 that reads from two independent aggregators (Chainlink + Band) and takes the median.
    • Add a circuit‑breaker that reverts eMode borrowing if price deviation > 5 % between feeds.
    • Upgrade via DAO proposal with a 48‑hour timelock.C‑2Enforce supply‑cap on all asset inflowsCurrent cap only checks mint. Direct token transfers can bypass it.• Add a receiveUnderlying() hook in Comet.sol that validates totalCash + incoming ≤ supplyCap before accepting ERC‑20 transferFrom.
    • Emit SupplyCapExceeded event on failure.C‑3Introduce re‑entrancy guard on borrow/repayMitigates flash‑loan re‑entrancy that could inflate debt.• Use OpenZeppelin’s ReentrancyGuard on external entry points.
    • Ensure state updates (debt, cash) occur before external token transfers.C‑4Upgrade‑proxy admin key rotation & multi‑sig hardeningCompromise of admin key leads to total takeover.• Move admin role to a 3‑of‑5 DAO multisig with hardware‑wallet signers.
    • Add a time‑locked “pause” function that can halt all proxies in an emergency.

    High (Score 6‑7) – Short‑Term (1‑4 weeks)

    #RecommendationRationaleImplementation StepsH‑1Add utilization‑floor check in Jump‑Rate ModelPrevents flash‑loan manipulation of the kink.• Require utilization >= MIN_UTIL (e.g., 0.5 %) before applying the low‑rate branch.
    • Emit UtilizationFloorTriggered event.H‑2Reward distribution snapshot finalizationEliminates race condition for rapid supply/withdraw cycles.• Record balanceSnapshot at the start of each block and use it for reward calculations, not the end‑of‑block balance.
    • Add a snapshotId to RewardDistributor.H‑3Gas‑budgeted liquidation batcherAvoids DoS when many liquidations are needed.• Implement a batch liquidation contract that can process up to N liquidations per transaction with a configurable gas limit.
    • Allow any keeper to call it; reward per liquidation.H‑4Bridge adapter re‑entrancy protectionMitigates double‑counting on L2 bridges.• Apply the checks‑effects‑interactions pattern: update internal balances before calling external L2 bridge.
    • Add a nonReentrant modifier.H‑5Isolated market governance delayReduces risk of flash‑vote attacks on collateral factors.• Enforce a minimum 72‑hour delay between proposal submission and execution for any isolated‑market parameter change.H‑6Automated monitoring of supply‑cap breachesEarly detection of cap bypass attempts.• Deploy an off‑chain bot that watches totalCash vs. supplyCap per market and raises an alert if totalCash exceeds cap by > 0.1 %.

    Medium (Score 4‑5) – Mid‑Term (1‑2 months)

    #RecommendationRationaleImplementation StepsM‑1Formal verification of bridge adaptersGuarantees absence of re‑entrancy and overflow bugs.• Use Certora or VeriSol to prove invariants: “cash balance never decreases without a corresponding withdrawal”.M‑2Static analysis of all imported librariesPrevents hidden vulnerabilities from outdated OpenZeppelin versions.• Run Slither, MythX, and Manticore on the full dependency tree.
    • Upgrade any library older than the latest stable release.M‑3Introduce “capped‑withdraw” guardPrevents users from withdrawing more than the protocol’s cash after a flash‑loan attack.• In withdraw, enforce withdrawAmount ≤ cashAvailable - safetyMargin where safetyMargin = 0.5 % of totalCash.M‑4Liquidity‑router sanity checksEnsure cross‑chain routing does not create circular asset flows.• Add a routing depth limit (max 3 hops) and a cycle‑detection check before executing a cross‑chain transfer.

    Low (Score ≤ 3) – Long‑Term (≥ 2 months)

    #RecommendationRationaleImplementation StepsL‑1Periodic audit of DAO governance contractsGovernance contracts evolve; new proposals may introduce bugs.• Schedule a quarterly audit of any contract that can modify protocol parameters.L‑2Bug‑bounty program expansionIncentivizes community discovery of edge‑case bugs.• Increase bounty caps for “isolated market” and “bridge” categories.
    • Publish a scope that includes L2 adapters.L‑3Documentation of failure modesImproves incident response.• Create a run‑book covering each identified vector, with step‑by‑step mitigation actions.L‑4Upgrade to Solidity 0.8.26+Leverages built‑in overflow checks and newer optimizer.• Incrementally compile each contract with the newer compiler, run full test suite, and deploy via proxy upgrade.
