I have baked Karl Popper in the main company AI skill: everything we create (human or AI) should be challenged.
[[Paolo Valdemarin p]] says he uses Karl Popper as a perspective in his main company AI skill, to challenge every output. Not sure what that means per se, but interesting phrasing. What would the 'main company AI skill' for TGL/me look like?

Abstract Neuroethics offers unprecedented opportunities as well as challenges. The challenges stem from the range of difficult ethical issues, which are confronted by neuroethicists. Issues concerning the nature of consciousness, of personal identity, free will, and so on, are all grist for the neuroethical mill. This article argues that this debate bears centrally on neuroethics and is significant for neuroethics. Whether the best interpretation of the facts to which proponents of the extended mind appeal is that the mind is genuinely extended, or merely embedded, or a reflection on these facts, are not in dispute but they reveal that the domain of neuroethics extends to all the processes and mechanisms subserving cognition, rather than just those processes and mechanisms internal to the skull. Once this fact is recognized both the scope of neuroethics and some of its characteristic concerns will be transformed.
Neuroethics and the Extended Mind by Neil Levy, 2011, chapter 18 of the Oxford Handbook of Neuroethics (2012)

Mijn systeem denkt niet in antwoorden maar in waarschijnlijkhedenDe meeste mensen denken binair: waar of onwaar, relevant of irrelevant. Maar de interessante antwoorden zitten zelden in die uitersten maar in de gradaties ertussen. Iets kan voor zeventig procent waar zijn in de ene context, en voor dertig procent in een andere. Daar bestaat een term voor: fuzzy logic, een formeel wiskundig systeem dat in 1965 werd bedacht door Lotfi Zadeh en dat draait om lidmaatschapsgraden in plaats van harde grenzen.Dat is precies hoe dit systeem werkt. Holmes zegt: het bewijs wijst voor 0.8 naar deze verklaring. Da Vinci zegt: de analogie klopt voor 0.6. Occam zegt: deze factor draagt voor 0.2 bij, schrap hem. De analisten leveren geen ja-of-nee maar gewogen signalen, en de eindredacteuren wegen die signalen tegen elkaar.

CLI has been on every Unix system since 1971. No schema injection. No server to maintain. No auth overhead. Composable with pipes. And your agent already knows how to use it.It’s been on every machine since 1971. We just forgot to look.
yes, exactly. The arc of AI bends towards deterministic software tools. I see / sense it in many places. Except for bringing people in to use these tools
-
Most of the conversation around MCP is about what it enables. If you flip it - and ask what agents actually need to run efficiently - the math looks pretty broken.
mcp looks great if you start from the tool looking for a problem to solve. Starting from a problem there are tools more efficient.
-
Article states CLI style AI tasks consume way less tokens than MCPs. Skills w CLI trump MCP, although MCP is still used for documents.

Best Practices Clear triggers: Define specific conditions for activation Focused scope: Each skill should do one thing well Informative prompts: Give Claude clear instructions Error handling: Account for edge cases in prompts Test thoroughly: Verify skills work across scenarios
Similar good practices as compared to slashcommands. The first one is new and important: defining the trigger conditions well.
-
Variables Available VariableDescription$CHANGED_FILESList of modified files$CURRENT_FILECurrently focused file$PROJECT_ROOTProject root directory$GIT_BRANCHCurrent git branch
available variables (this is diff from the slashcommands it seems).
-
Trigger Types TriggerDescriptiononFileChangeFiles matching glob pattern changeonCommandUser invokes a slash commandonGitHookGit operations (commit, push)onScheduleTime-based triggers
Trigger types can be on file changes, command, git operations or schedule. So what is doing the monitoring for those triggers?
-
2. Create skill.json { "name": "test-runner", "description": "Automatically runs relevant tests when code changes", "triggers": { "onFileChange": ["**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx"], "onCommand": "/test" } }
the json files specifies the triggers for a skill. Which can be a manual command, but also others like file changes. So one could shape any slashcommand as a skill too? To better daisychain them e.g.
-
Skill Structure .claude/skills/ └── my-skill/ ├── skill.json # Skill configuration ├── prompt.md # Instructions for Claude └── scripts/ # Optional helper scripts └── helper.sh
Skills have their own folder and are a folder with 2 files and subfolder for scripts. Json for config, prompt for instructions and scripts (shell)
Shown here as project specific, but can be general I suppose.
-
Skills are advanced automation capabilities that Claude can invoke automatically based on context.

Comparison w slash commands is a diff in trigger (me typing command or called by AI), simplicity (simple single prompts vs prompts and scripts), use cases (repetitive and smart automation) (repetitive warrants automation too imo)

Test thoroughly: Run commands in different scenarios
good practice 5: test across diff scenarions (edge cases too I think) I suppose esp if daisychained into workflows of some type
-
Include specific files with curly braces: <!-- .claude/commands/optimize.md --> Analyze {src/utils/helpers.ts} for optimization opportunities.
one can reference outside files in slashcommands. E.g. to rerun test on something (although argument would work too). I see a diff in using a reference files as input, or as object of the command, not explained here though
-
Include context: Reference relevant files when needed
good practice 4, using reference files
-
Use variables: $ARGUMENTS for flexibility
good practice 3, as above
-
Clear instructions: Be specific about expected output format
good practice 2, be specific about output format. (meant here is e.g. what specific elements an output should contain / questions adressed.
-
Single responsibility: Each command should do one thing well
good practice 1, a single clear thing in a command. This, like similar advices for MCP agents and skills, pushes it to granular level. Meaning you could chain them. Similar usage as deterministic elements in CLI possible I'd say. This makes a command a single function in that sense
-
Using Arguments Commands can accept arguments via $ARGUMENTS: <!-- .claude/commands/explain.md --> Explain $ARGUMENTS in simple terms. Provide: - What it does - Why it's useful - Example usageCopy to clipboard Usage: /explain the useCallback hook
slash commands can accepts arguments
-
Command Locations # Global commands (available everywhere) ~/.claude/commands/ # Project-specific commands .claude/commands/
slash commands can be project specific and generically available in the respective .claude dirs

De rechtbank komt, gelet op al het hiervoor overwogene, tot de conclusie dat in artikel 4.2, tweede lid, van de Woo noch in enig andere bepaling in de Woo het inzagerecht als bedoeld in artikel 67 van de Verordening is geregeld, omdat op grond van de Woo geen inzage kan worden verkregen in informatie die niet bij de minister berust en daar ook niet had behoren te berusten. Daarmee komt de Woo niet tegemoet aan de volle werking en het nuttig effect van artikel 67, eerste lid, tweede alinea, van de Verordening. De rechtbank is eveneens van oordeel dat de minister, gelet op de beginselen van loyale samenwerking en effectieve rechtsbescherming, op grond van artikel 67, eerste lid, van de Verordening en nu vast staat dat sprake is van milieu-informatie, is gehouden om naar aanleiding van het verzoek van eisers toepassing te geven aan artikel 67, eerste lid, tweede alinea, van de Verordening door de informatie waarom eisers hebben verzocht te verstrekken. Dit houdt in dat de minister de professionele gebruikers van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen dient te verzoeken om de door eisers gevraagde informatie uit het register aan de minister ter beschikking te stellen.
Art 67.1 1107/2009 is niet geregeld in de Woo, art 4.2. of elders, en eigenstandig van toepassing.
-
Tegen deze achtergrond is de rechtbank van oordeel dat is beoogd met artikel 67, eerste lid, van de Verordening te voorzien in een algemene toegang tot informatie uit de registers van gebruikers van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen voor ten minste de in dit artikel genoemde derde partijen; ook wordt daarmee voorzien in de bevoegdheid van de bevoegde autoriteit om aan een professionele gebruiker te verzoeken om die informatie beschikbaar te stellen indien een verzoek om toegang tot die informatie is gedaan door ten minste een derde partij. Het verhogen van de gezondheid van mens, dier en milieu door middel van onder meer de traceerbaarheid van blootstellingen aan gewasbeschermingsmiddelen te verzekeren en de doeltreffendheid van het toezicht en controle te verbeteren is gebaat bij een toegang tot de informatie in de registers van onder meer professionele gebruikers. Die moet dan meer omvatten dan enkel de gevallen waarin concrete aanleiding bestaat om van overheidswege toezichtbevoegdheden aan te wenden om het gebruik van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen en mogelijk in dat verband begane overtredingen te onderzoeken. Daarbij is van belang dat uit de Verordening niet expliciet blijkt dat de controlerende functie van de toegang tot de registers is voorbehouden aan controle van overheidswege. Dat artikel 67, eerste lid, van de Verordening is ondergebracht in hoofdstuk VIII met de titel “controles”, betekent daarom dat de bevoegdheid van de bevoegde autoriteit om een verzoek te doen om informatie uit de registers is bedoeld om derde partijen toegang te geven tot informatie in de registers van professionele gebruikers van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen. Derde partijen, zoals omwonenden van percelen waarop gewasbeschermingsmiddelen worden gebruikt, worden met de verstrekking van informatie uit de registers in staat gesteld te controleren in hoeverre gewasbeschermingsmiddelen zijn ingezet in hun fysieke leefomgeving; dit stelt hen in staat tot het maken van gezondheidsoverwegingen.
Rechtbank wijst af dat derden slechts toegang zouden hebben tot tbv controle door Minister verzamelde info bij de registerhouders. Derden krijgen expliciet toegang, via de bevoegde autoriteit, tot de registers van de gebruiker.
-
Artikel 5.1, zevende lid, van de Woo betreft een implementatie van de Richtlijn 2003/4/EG10 over de toegang van het publiek tot milieu-informatie, zoals ook is neergelegd in het Verdrag van Aarhus.11 In de Richtlijn 2003/4/EG is in dit verband overwogen dat – een verruimde – toegang van het publiek tot milieu-informatie en verspreiding van die informatie bijdraagt aan een verhoogd milieubewustzijn, een vrije gedachtewisseling, een doeltreffender deelneming van het publiek aan de milieubesluitvorming en, uiteindelijk, tot een beter milieu. Ook overweegt de rechtbank in dit verband dat het in artikel 8 van het Europees Verdrag tot bescherming van de Rechten van de Mens en fundamentele vrijheden (het EVRM) opgenomen recht op privé- en familieleven met zich kan brengen dat op overheidsinstanties een positieve verplichting rust om informatie over -schade aan- het milieu met burgers delen. Zodat zij daarmee in staat worden gesteld gezondheidsafwegingen te maken.12
Rechtbank noemt WOO 5.1. mbt milieugegevens, nav richtlijn 2003/4/EG , en het Verdrag v Aarhus (dat NL zelf heeft ondertekend).
-
Artikel 67, eerste lid, tweede alinea, van de Verordening voorziet, naar het oordeel van de rechtbank, anders dan de Woo in een grondslag waaraan de minister in zijn hoedanigheid van bevoegde autoriteit de bevoegdheid ontleent om een professionele gebruiker van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen te verzoeken om relevante informatie uit diens register over het gebruik van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen ter beschikking te stellen indien derde partijen, zoals de drinkwaterindustrie, detailhandelaars of omwonenden een verzoek om toegang tot deze informatie doen aan de minister.
Het is art 67.1 zelf die de grondslag geeft aan Minister als bevoegde autoriteit om gegevens op te vragen bij de particuliere houder, op verzoek van de genoemde soorten derde partijen. Dat is rechtstreeks v toepassing, want verordening. (Maar wat is dan de relevantie v het noemen van nationale wetgeving)
-
De rechtbank is van oordeel dat de Woo, in het bijzonder artikel 4.2, tweede lid, niet voorziet in een doeltreffende wijze van uitoefenen van het inzagerecht uit artikel 67, eerste lid, van de Verordening, omdat de Woo het uitoefenen van het inzagerecht als bedoeld in de Verordening niet mogelijk maakt. De bevoegdheid tot het vorderen van informatie door een bestuursorgaan is in de Woo immers voorbehouden aan publieke informatie in documenten die bij het bestuursorgaan berusten of hadden behoren te berusten op grond van enig wettelijk voorschrift. Echter, daarvan is, zoals onder rechtsoverweging 10.1 al is overwogen, ten aanzien van de informatie in de registers van gebruikers van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen geen sprake: deze informatie berust immers niet bij de minister en had daar ook niet behoren te berusten.
De WOO is niet v toepassing omdat de gegevens bij een particulier berusten en niet bij een overheid.
-
De rechtbank is van oordeel dat de minister terecht met toepassing van de Woo in samenhang met de Verordening heeft besloten op het verzoek van eisers. Daartoe is van belang dat artikel 67, eerste lid, derde alinea, van de Verordening tegen de achtergrond van de nationale procedurele autonomie van lidstaten bepaalt dat de bevoegde autoriteiten overeenkomstig het toepasselijke nationale of Gemeenschapsrecht toegang tot de informatie in de registers verstrekken. Uit de wetsgeschiedenis van een wijziging van de Wgb blijkt dat de wetgever heeft beoogd dat verzoeken om toegang tot informatie als bedoeld in artikel 67 van de Verordening door de minister worden beoordeeld volgens de kaders van artikel 67 van de Verordening en de Wet openbaarheid van bestuur (de Wob).4 De Wob is hierop met ingang van 1 mei 2022 vervangen door de Woo.
De WOO is waar de grondslag voor EG 1107/2009 uit voort zou moeten komen (is dat zo, het betreft immers milieugegevens bij een particulier?)
-
Eisers betogen dat de informatie uit het register waar hun verzoek op ziet, niet bij de minister berust en daar ook niet had behoren te berusten als bedoeld in de Woo. Dit betekent volgens hen dat de minister op grond van de Woo niet bevoegd is om naar aanleiding van een verzoek om toegang tot informatie uit een register over het gebruik van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen die informatie te vorderen bij de professionele gebruiker van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen op wiens register het verzoek van eisers ziet. De rechtbank begrijpt het verdere betoog van eisers zo dat zij stellen dat de Verordening, anders dan de Woo, wel voorziet in deze bevoegdheid en dat de Woo om die reden het recht op toegang tot informatie uit artikel 67 van de Verordening frustreert.
De Minister LNV is wel de bevoegde autoriteit maar niet de registerhouder. (dat is de gebruiker van pesticiden.)
-
De rechtbank overweegt dat in artikel 4, vierde lid, van de Wet gewasbeschermingsmiddelen en biociden (de Wgb) is bepaald dat de minister van LVN belast is met het verstrekken van informatie als bedoeld in artikel 67, eerste lid, derde tekstblok, van de Verordening. Zij is van oordeel dat hieruit volgt dat de minister is aangewezen als de bevoegde autoriteit die is belast met het nemen van besluiten op verzoeken om toegang tot informatie als bedoeld in artikel 67, eerste lid, van de Verordening. Of andere bestuursorganen, zoals eisers stellen, ook informatie uit de registers dienen te verstrekken doet niet ter zake. Zij hebben hun verzoek nu eenmaal onder meer ingediend bij de minister en ook de besluiten op hun verzoek zijn afkomstig van de minister. Daarmee ligt in deze beroepsprocedure ter beoordeling voor of de minister die belast is met verstrekken van informatie uit de registers van professionele gebruikers van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen op goede gronden tot afwijzing van het verzoek van eisers is gekomen.
De Minister van LNV is volgens de Wet gewasbeschermingsmiddelen en biociden (Wgb) de bevoegde autoriteit (dus niet bijv de provincies die er om vragen bij de Drentse leliekwekers)
-
dat professionele gebruikers van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen registers bijhouden van de gewasbeschermingsmiddelen die zij gebruiken, met vermelding van de naam van het gebruikte gewasbeschermingsmiddel, het tijdstip en de dosis van de toepassing, alsook het gebied en het gewas waarop het gewasbeschermingsmiddel werd gebruikt en dat de professionele gebruikers die registers bewaren gedurende ten minste drie jaar. Relevante informatie uit deze registers stellen zij op verzoek ter beschikking van de bevoegde autoriteit. Derde partijen, zoals de drinkwaterindustrie, detailhandelaars of omwonenden kunnen zich tot de bevoegde instantie wenden met het verzoek om toegang tot deze informatie te verkrijgen. De bevoegde autoriteiten verstrekken toegang tot deze informatie overeenkomstig het toepasselijke nationale of het Gemeenschapsrecht.
Tekst EG 1107/2009 Art 67.1. mbt toegang tot gegevens: de gebruiker van pesticiden houdt een register bij. Bevoegde autoriteit heeft daar toegang toe op verzoek. Derden, m.n. drinkwater orgs, detaihandel (afnemers neem ik aan) en omwonenden kunnen de bevoegde autoriteit om toegang verzoeken en dienen die te krijgen conform nationaal of gemeenschapsrecht. Vraag: wat is dan de NL grondslag volgens de recht?

The canary trapsBetween 26 and 29 March, I planted four tests in my regular Substack Notes.Trap 1: the contradiction. On 25 March, I posted a note arguing that AI would not replace journalists but would replace the business model that pays for them. On 26 March, I posted a note praising an AI journalism tool that cross-references sources and flags inconsistencies. These two Notes are in deliberate tension. A human who read both might notice. An agent processing each note in isolation would praise both without registering the contradiction.Trap 2: unique phrases and cultural markers. I seeded Notes with references that require contextual knowledge to engage with meaningfully.Trap 3: the fabricated statistic. I embedded a made-up number in an otherwise plausible note about workplace AI adoption. The argument was real: employees spend time managing AI tools, and that time comes from somewhere. But the specific figure, ‘47 minutes,’ was invented. It referred to no study. It was wrapped in confident, specific language designed to sound like a real finding.Trap 4: direct engagement. I tagged specific accounts and asked questions that required a personal answer, not a response to the note’s content.
Author used 'canary traps' to see if certain commenters might be automated AI. Contradiction between posts, cultural markers to see if they were engaged with, fake facts, and tagging suspected accounts directly in questions to see if they responded. The first three seem to me somewhat unethical and risky, as they expose legit accounts to the same thing, and in the first and third example you are deliberately adding inauthentic behaviour yourself towards your audience.
-
Substack has a public, read-only API that anyone can use without logging in.
what does it open up? content?
-
When a response feels smooth, generic, and positive without engaging with the specific argument of a post, that is worth pausing on. Not every generic comment is automated. But the pattern is worth learning to see.
yes, I see this on my blog now and then too.
-
My most active commenters, the ones with 80+ comments, all show the lumpy, uneven patterns of genuine human engagement. High volume is not the signal. Systematic uniformity is.
A sing of automation is the steady patterns spread equally over time. People are inconsistent, do things in bursts etc.
-
It is full of real people who have decided that being present is too time-consuming, so they have automated the performance of presence instead.
presence as performance. I think this is a key observation, bc we do a lot of presence as performance socially too. Ppl ensuring they're seen at some do, and leaving once their presence has been acknowledged. Ppl attending meetings but doing other work during it, nodding along at the right moments. Just the automation is new.
-
The dead internet theory, the idea that the web is filling with fake accounts talking to fake accounts, is wrong. Or at least incomplete. The accounts are real. The people are real. What is automated is the act of engagement itself.A real person decided to be present on Substack. Then they delegated that presence to a machine.
Author looked into commenting patterns and found several real accounts posting generated comments. This is the one angle that my [[Reverse Turing menszijn bewijs vaker nodig 20230505100459]] test does not cover.

I see this being adopted around me too. Not just CLI's though, also more APIs, pulling in data sources from elsewhere. And most interestingly: I see adoption by people who did not program or treat their computer as their personal toolbox they can adapt before. Until generative AI lowered their barrier to entry. Going from 0 to using the command line (which coincidentally is what it was until 30 years ago anyway). Even without AI, CLI tools, like Automator on Mac did before, allow the creation of workflows around a piece of software. Matt mentions the Obsidian CLI, and I've been using that to manipulate Tasks in Obsidian without going to the Obsidian UI. For about a decade I've treated application UIs as just views on my data, with functionality geared towards the viewing, and interfaces as different queries on that data. Going headless means removing the viewer, and using the output of queries directly programmatically. Combined with how I see the arch of generative AI bending significantly towards deterministic code, I look forward to the type of things people come up with. Not their tools, but what they come up with. Because the path to scale of these things imo is not adopting what someone else made, but adopting what someone else came up with conceptually and creating your own local version. Like we do socially too, contagion spreading through effective behaviour, and culturally, the contextual and local sum of all time greatest hits of our group behaviour. It would be highly ironic if unethical corporate extractive AI not only creates the incentive but also actually paves the way for the masses to Walkaway.

Ebs van Heek verkochtde uit 1928 daterende boerderij in 1963 aan G.J. Oosterveld voor diens dochter enschoonzoon W.H. Slikker. Hijzelf ging met zijn vrouw Emmy wonen in een bungalowaan de Kolenbranderweg. Ebs overleed in 1979 op 76-jarige leeftijd, in hetzelfdejaar stierf ook zijn vrouw. Het boerenbedrijf werd beëindigd in 1995. De bijgebou-wen kregen een functie als stalling voor caravans en old-timers en de bijbehorendelandbouwgronden werden verpacht aan andere agrariërs.
Stepelerveld ging in 1963 over in handen aan Blikker. Die naam kwam geregeld voorbij. Dan zijn pake en beppe ook toen naar Boekelo verhuisd.

Mijn vader Ebs van Heek, de tweede zoon van Hennieen Jet van Heek-ter Kuile (TE), begon in 1928 een ge-mengd bedrijf op de boerderij het Stepelerveld, gele-gen ten noorden van Haaksbergen. De nadruk lag opveeteelt, om precies te zijn op Friese, zwartbonte koei-en, die toentertijd zeer gewaardeerd werden om hunhoge melkproductie. Stepelerveld was een vooruitstre-vend bedrijf waar vanaf het begin machinaal gemolkenwerd.Mijn vader had feeling voor de fokkerij en probeerde samenmet zijn meesterknecht (zoals dat toen nog heette) KlaasZijlstra, die hier ook veel verstand van had, mooi rundveete fokken. Stepelerveld was dan ook befaamd om de fraaiebelijning en grote melkgift van zijn koeien. Talrijk zijnde prijzen die de Marijkes, Melkpotjes en Marriettes (ver-noemd naar Marriette Plehn-van Heek!) hebben gewon-nen.In die tijd was er nog geen sprake van K. I. dus had je eengoede stier nodig om te kunnen fokken. Op Stepelerveldwas dat Adolf. De veestapel werd in 1926 opgebouwd opTeesink, en het was daar dat Adolf werd geboren. Hij werdmeteen herkend als een mooie stier en behaalde op keurin-gen in Twente en Overijssel steeds de eerste prijs.Uiteindelijk – in 1929 – besloot men om met Adolf naarde landelijke keuring op het Malieveld in Den Haag te gaan.Dat ging als volgt: Klaas Zijlstra liep met Adolf van Haaks-bergen naar Hengelo en stapte daar met hem in een vee-agon, waar hij de hele treinreis tot Den Haag in bleef. OpStaatsspoor in den Haag aangekomen liep Klaas met destier door de stad naar het Malieveld. Vanuit Den Haagstuurde hij een briefkaart naar Stepelerveld met de bondigetekst ‘g.a.K.Z.’, ofwel: ‘goed aangekomen Klaas Zijlstra’;dat kostte hem maar een halve cent.Klaas bleef drie dagen in Den Haag en sliep al die tijdbij Adolf in het stro. Na afloop kon hij de stier als kampioenvan Nederland door de ring leiden en werd hem een prach -tige beker overhandigd. Daarna liep Klaas met Adolf ende kampioensbeker naar Staatsspoor, stapte weer in deveewagon en reisde terug naar Hengelo, om vandaar –wederom lopend – met de kampioen van Nederland terugte keren op Stepelerveld.Ik kan me voorstellen dat u dit een ongelofelijk verhaalvindt, maar het is echt zo gebeurd en werd met verve ver-teld door mijn vader en Klaas Zijlstra.25Een ongelofelijk verhaal uit 1929...Adolf, de kampioenstier van StepelerveldAdolf in 1928VanHeek-2012-opm-dr1 21-06-12 14:47 Pagina 25

Boerderijcomplex het Stepelerveld, in 1928 in Interbellum architectuur gebouwd naar ontwerp van de architecten J. van de Lijke en J. Mink jr. (Enschede) in opdracht van E.H.K.J. van Heek. De dienstwoning is in dezelfde stijl als de boerderij ontworpen door de architecten Jans en Henneke uit Hengelo. Het complex bestaat uit een BOERDERIJ VAN HET KOP-ROMP TYPE met aangebouwde KOESTAL, een vrijstaande VARKENSSCHUUR, een DIENSTWONING en een TOEGANGSHEK. Het toegangshek is omstreeks 1880 vervaardigd en in 1928 door Van Heek verplaatst van landgoed Het Ledeboer in Enschede naar de huidige lokatie. Het hek vormde vroeger de achterpoort van Het Teesink in Boekelo, daarvoor stond het bij kasteel Rozenburg in Rotterdam. Omschrijving De voorgevel van de boederij ligt naar het zuiden, de westelijke zijgevel grenst aan de Stepelerveldweg. De varkensschuur ligt noordoostelijk van de boerderij en de houten schuur noordwestelijk. Noordelijk van dit complex, eveneens aan de Stepelerveldweg, ligt de dienstwoning. De hoeve is ook vanaf de Kolenbranderweg bereikbaar via een oprijlaan met het toegangshek. Het hek ligt oostelijk van de hoeve. Waardering Het boerderijcomplex is van cultuur-, architectuurhistorisch en stedebouwkundig belang vanwege: - de betekenis van de familie Van Heek voor de sociaal-economische geschiedenis van Twente - de zeldzaamheid van het Friese kop-romp type boerderij in Twente - de architectonische vormgeving van de onderdelen - de ensemblewaarde van het complex - de beeldbepalende ligging van het complex - de gaafheid van het geheel

this is the open source app for age verification (dev'd by T-Systems and Scytales) which is being tested in 4 or 5 MS. You verify your id, and then it can tell any platform whether you are old enough for it yes/no/age. Unlike the SOPA mess in the UK it seems. This like Irma/Yivi app that has been around for many years in NL. This one is aligned with the coming EU ID wallets.

Simplify the Rulebook The AI Act, GDPR, the Data Act, NIS2 - each with its own obligations and timelines - pile cumulative burden on the startups Europe most needs. The Digital Omnibus, tabled in late 2025, is a genuine opportunity to consolidate enforcement and rationalise the data framework. It should be fast-tracked and adopted by mid-2026.
lame recommendation. bc part of the 'simplification' is the erosion of the very European values touted up above, and doing away with regulation is not the same as creating more consistency. Also the omnibus already is the fast-track path. Good call to do more enforcement though.

Supercharge EU-Inc. Europe's legal architecture was built for another era. EU-Inc is a step forward - one corporate structure recognised across the bloc - but it must seed something far more ambitious: a full operating framework covering stock options, capital markets, and employment law.

Where Europe Can Win Europe has lost the generative AI race - only Mistral has produced notable foundation models. Pretending otherwise is not a strategy. But losing one race does not mean losing the war. Trust as a Moat US labs are going closed-source; China has embraced open-source for global reach. Europe's path is a third way: trusted, open-source AI built to European values - something like what "Made in Germany" once meant for manufactured goods. Own the Distribution The most urgent threat to European AI sovereignty is not the models Europeans use - it is the apps (and soon agents) that control distribution. In virtually every vertical, dominant platforms are American or Chinese. A continent that relies on foreign apps for its digital life has surrendered its AI future to the companies that own those apps. Vertical AI Over 75% of European AI investment already targets specialist applications. In AI for energy, Europe leads the world with 50% of global VC in that segment. Health, energy, defence, and financial services are precisely where European expertise creates durable advantage. The Next Wave: World Models Systems that understand the physical world - enabling robotics, autonomous systems, manufacturing and logistics - represent a frontier where no one has yet established dominance. Europe is at parity with the US in the talent required. This is where Europe must concentrate its ambition, before this window closes as the GenAI window did.
Prosus 4 European opportunities: - trusted open source AI w European values as third way - create apps/agents/platforms that control distribution (now mostly USA) - vertical AI in a sector (energy, health, defence, finance vgl sectoral DS investments) - world models

The real monster
the correct term, and [[Monstertheorie 20030725114320]] the way to look at it.
-
To call it theft is accurate in my opinion, but then I'm a bigger believer in copyrigh
the equation of copyright infringement with theft was wrong when it was the media companies accusing people of it, as it is now when people accuse ai companies of it, imo. Doesn't mean the training of models on our collective creative output isn't wrong, but copyright and theft is not the angle imo.
-
Feeling this for myself has only reinforced my belief that these models constitute an addictive substance.
senses addictive component. The lure of magic I think.
-
As I felt myself bored to tears in this process, I realized that if this is what becomes of software development, not only will it be a terrible occupation,
Author experienced boredom from vibecoding, and sees coding as becoming a terrible job that way
-
There's a fundamental problem with these tools beyond the capacity of any deployment strategy to solve: the tool requires expertise to validate, but its use diminishes expertise and stunts its growth
the paradox here is that using algogens erodes the skills to be able to judge its output. I think we already see that in the code leak from Anthropic.
-
the way mistakes can compound make this a dangerous proposition. This all worked with my small project, but a bigger one, with more dependencies or more complex project structures, would likely flummox the models. And reviewing changes across a more complex codebase becomes at once more difficult and more critical as the project size increases.
compounding mistakes. esp in bigger / more complex projects. a neg ratchet This to me points back to vibe assistance in components, less in the overall project. creating libraries of functions above always from scratch. Keeping tech choices clear.
-
Programming agents might work, but there are a lot of ways they can go wrong. The amount of guardrails necessary to keep the model in check doesn't scale. The more steps of a process rely on generative output, the higher the potential for error and catastrophic failure. Any process that involves these models must strive to maximize determinism and minimize model variance.
stay close to deterministic. n:: Guardrails grow faster than keeping stuff in check, doesn't scale
-
I am privileged in that I can make these choices. Not everyone is so privileged. I am hesitant to condemn those who choose to accept the help that shows up, and in so doing fulfilling their obligations of care to those in their lives. Insofar as these models empower people to build something good, and do so without overmuch suffering on their part, we must reckon with the value proposition there. It is a benefit, but it does not eliminate the attendant harms.
exactly. like I was told by someone in Central Asia, I'll get to your western environmental concerns after I can reliably feed my family. Not a fully correct distinction, but fully understandable when seen from a perspective of agency povert. n:: externalities concerns v-a-v agency poverty
-
This does not negate the dangerous externalities of the technology at large, but I can only adopt so much of that responsibility as an individual.
Another strong observation. Knowing the wider externalities and individual agency do not always overlap. The individual aspects cannot be asked to bear the systemic ones. You can work to change the system and still use the individual benefits while doing so.
-
The help that showed up I turned to generative models not only as an experiment, but out of desperation. I had a need for code that did not exist. Nobody was going to help me build it, nor should I expect help for a project such as this. In the past, I would have cobbled together something quick-and-dirty, probably at the expense of my mental and physical health to get it done. This time, I had another option. In this limited scope, the model was beneficial to all involved: myself, TTI's community, and my family
A reiteration of the 'help that showed up' and the effects it had on author and his environment.
-
More plainly: I have no reason to expect this technology can succeed at the same level in law, medicine, or any other highly human, highly subjective occupation.
I think author is wrong here. Depends on application scope. In law translation e.g. in the EU, where we have verdicts in 27 languages pertaining to the same market is key. In medicine it's not algogens but other AI that is being deployed, and scaled (e.g. wrt analysing imaging like radiology / mri etc.)
-
The "works" in "it works" is scoped strictly to coding tasks. I have no evidence, and seemingly no one else does, that the same kind of success is available outside the world of highly structured language with deterministic outputs.
important caveat and back to [[The arc of vibe coding bends towards determinism 20260214145739]]
-
But CertGen, my certificate application, exists now. It didn't and couldn't without the help of a tool like Claude Code.
this is the only test I think most people apply. Esp when it comes to individuals, outside deployment in teams or in orgs.
-
I'm not entirely onboard with Mike Masnick's optimistic view of this technology's democratizing power. I don't think it's as easy to separate the tech from its provenance or corporate control
true in essence, but in practice it is what I see people experiencing, despite forking 20USD/month over to BigTech
-
I simply could not have built this project as well or as quickly without help. And as other developers have noted, this is the help that's showing up.
n:: Claudecode as 'the help that is showing up' consistently. This is what I observe too where it is used by individuals overcoming barriers to entry to make their personal tools. I think this may be relevant to understand those that turn to chatbots for advice too.
-
One time, during a security fix, the model's code introduced a non-obvious DoS vector. Well, obvious from the perspective of how the code would be deployed, but not from the code itself. That's exactly why reading each change was so important. Once the issue was pointed out, the model produced code that both addressed the security issue and avoided the DoS.
this is a core issue: the algogen has no concept of 'deployment' and only has the code itself. Even for simple things, not just security like here, it will not be able to look at the intention of a project outside the project. This a better anchor for human in the loop, the connection to reality / intention?
-
I do know the code very well by way of careful reading of the code, the relevant libraries' documentation, and the proposed changes during the code's creation. But that safety comes down to human discipline. It is entirely possible (probable?) to take the easy road and trust the model to do the right thing.
n:: having a human in the loop for vibe coding entirely comes down to discipline. Which is a recipe for it not happening. (and for me points to having a fixed starter set of instructions etc, as opposed to coming up with them each time).
-
In this case, I was the audience rather than the author. I had to back my way into understanding the code, carefully reading and understanding the structure after it had been built. This is much more common for developers who work on large teams or with codebases they didn't build themselves. I have not had as much experience with that kind of development, so this all felt a little awkward.
vibe coding makes you the audience watching the process, and no longer the author. but: says this is a role various people already have in coding teams. Which may be relevant when looking at adoption patterns, imo.
-
Although I read each proposed change, knowing the codebase deeply was much more challenging. When I write a new application myself, I'm building an elaborate house of cards in my head, a gossamer structure of interlinked ideas and goals. It's a story I'm telling myself in code—and ultimately, a story I share with users.
reading everything during production is not the same as producing it. A mental model of the entire construct is not created. Interesting quote: you no longer have a story in your head about what it is you're doing. No helicopter view. The making is scaffolding for your understanding, and that is being cut out.
-
"Human in the loop" is necessary, but the current process itself makes the loop stultifying, and encourages the human to take themselves out of the loop. That process is straight up dangerous. The temptation to let it rip is always there, and I didn't even have a boss pressuring me to ship code.
The option 'yes to all in this session' provided at every turn is seen by author as darkpattern.
-
It was so tempting to press 2: "Yes, and accept all changes for this session." Why wouldn't you? If you're accepting them all manually, what's the harm? What's the harm? harm harm harm harm Yeah, that's how you get got in this process. Once you stop scrutinizing the model's output, the probability something goes off the rails approaches 1.
putting y on automatic is certain way to end up with stuff you do not have an overview of or no longer comprehend.
-
I hated writing software this way. Forget the output for a moment; the process was excruciating. Most of my time was spent reading proposed code changes and pressing the 1 key to accept the changes, which I almost always did. I was basically Homer's drinking bird.
author hated the feeling of being reduced to typing 'y' to questions from Claudecode. Recognisable, like babysitting. I watch output alongside Claudecode in VScode, which helps a bit.
-
we need to be grown-ups and entertain some seemingly contradicting ideas at the same time, okay?

Methodology To maximize determinism, each step of the build used test-driven development (TDD). Using the Markdown planning file as a starting point, the model generated tests for functions that would define the features, then implemented each in turn. After each coding round, cargo check and cargo test were run to confirm compilation and test passing. I reviewed every line of code the model generated. For initial drafts, very little had to change. Now to be fair, this is not a particularly complex app. It's basic CRUD app with some specialized requirements. Still, getting it all right, including auth and data handling, really mattered. After the initial drafting phase, I went through the entire app and made a list of tasks for improvement/change in the codebase. This TODO.md became the new starting point for model context in plan creation. Unexpectedly, as items were addressed in the document, the model updated the file with checkmarks and details of implementations. This was not an instruction I gave the model, but it was behavior I liked, since it created a trail of accountability. After all the features I wanted were functional, context was cleared entirely and new instructions were provided to the model. Instead of acting as a software developer, I instructed the model to perform as a security auditor and secure code expert, finding vulnerabilities in the code and recommending remediations. The findings would be written to a FINDINGS.md file, keeping with our established "Plan, Document, Execute, Log" pattern established in earlier rounds.
Stated aim was to maximise determinism. That sounds like a good point for any vibing effort. Also ties in with my general sentiment [[The arc of vibe coding bends towards determinism 20260214145739]]
test driven development. Markdown plan first, then function tests for feature definitions, only then making the functions. Reviewed all code himself. Also makes me wonder about building my own libraries from vibed results. (e.g. the forms I use, the css, the diff functions, although most of the interactive stuff I've written myself already, and use them as components)
-
In fact, almost all the hands-on-keyboard time for myself in this project was in Markdown syntax. I love me some Markdown, but it didn't feel great writing for a model as an audience instead of human beings.
interesting observation, when the [[Assumed audience definieren 20211113212257]] is a machine the joy of writing diminishes. Not sure if I think of prompting / editing plans etc as writing, but I recognise the sentiment.
-
If it works, I'll have my certificate solution, I thought. If it doesn't, at least I'll know more about the technology and its implications. Well, spoiler alert: it works. It's even, near as I can tell, reasonably secure. But good lord, building this way was miserable, even if it was faster than coding it all myself.
Classic approach: if it works, I have a result, if it doesn't I have hands-on experience with algogens as tech, and can use that elsewhere
-
So on the one hand, I have to understand genAI coding tools for work. On the other, here's this missing feature I need implemented to complete the TTI migration. I decided to test development using Claude Code for this project.
the experiment was to create a certificate issuing component for his migrated learning platform to Discourse.
-
Do I think LinkedIn is the digital River Styx, where damned souls clamber over each other and claw at the boat passing overhead in the dim hope of salvation from those who have escaped the shambling horde? I do. But if we're all in hell together, we might as well try to lift each other up.
:D
-
Let's get this out of the way: my feelings about using generative models at all are...fraught. And if you are ready to call me a monster or a hypocrite right now, I understand. I'm navigating some tensions about this and I fully own that I may have made the wrong choices here.

Executieve functies zijn trainbaar en kunnen op elke leeftijd worden verbeterd - waarschijnlijk door veel verschillende benaderingen. Het is niet altijd gunstig om executieve functies bewust uit te oefenen. Soms denk je na over wat je doet en probeer je top-down controle uit te oefenen, maar dat blokkeert juist optimale prestaties.
vgl [[Ignite by Neeltje van Horen]]
-
De executieve functies gaan over het kiezen van de activiteiten en het uitvoeren van deze taken. Het gaat er hierbij om op welke taak je je aandacht richt en hoe je deze (cognitieve) taak vervolgens uitvoert.

Jelle Jolles onderscheidt in Het tienerbrein. Over de adolescent tussen biologie en omgeving de volgende executieve functies: Filteren Organiseren van aandacht Impulsremming Nieuwsgierigheid en initiatief nemen Werkgeheugen Doelgerichtheid Gedrags-, motorische en cognitieve flexibiliteit Planmatig handelen Kiezen en beslissen Zelfinzicht Zelfregulatie Metacognitie Monitoring Empathie en perspectiefname Motivatie

Margriet Sitskoorn onderscheidt in De beste versie van jezelf twaalf executieve functies: Aandacht richten, vasthouden, verdelen Emoties reguleren (incl. omgaan met stress) Flexibel kunnen zijn als dingen veranderen Ongewenst gedrag kunnen onderdrukken Taken en zaken starten Dingen organiseren Dingen kunnen plannen Jezelf kunnen monitoren Je werkgeheugen gebruiken Een reëel zelfbeeld vormen Het vermogen tot theory of mind Prosociaal gedrag (het belang van anderen voor ogen houden)

Zo onderscheiden Peg Dawson en Richard Guare in hun boek Slim maar… help kinderen hun talenten benutten door hun executieve functies te versterken elf soorten executieve functies: Respons-inhibitie: nadenken voordat je iets doet. Werkgeheugen. Emotieregulatie. Volgehouden aandacht. Taakinitiatie. Planning/prioritering. Organisatie. Timemanagement: tijd inschatten, verdelen en deadlines halen. Doelgericht gedrag. Flexibiliteit: flexibel omgaan met veranderingen en tegenslag. Metacognitie: een stapje terug doen om jezelf en de situatie te overzien en te evalueren
4,5,6. 7,9 aandacht, taakinitiatie, planning/prioritering (ook herziening daarvan obv interne prios), tijdsbesteding, doelgerichtheid
-
Er zijn vijf soorten situaties waarin executieve functies vereist zijn om tot een optimale prestatie te komen (Norman & Shallice, 1986): Situaties waarbij planning en besluitvorming vereist is. Situaties waarbij bijsturing en foutencorrectie van gedrag nodig is. Nieuwe vormen van gedrag of nieuwe opeenvolgingen van handelingen. Gevaarlijke of technisch moeilijke situaties. Situaties waarbij ingeroest gedrag of gewoontes moeten worden doorbroken.

Euro-Office begeeft zich bovendien in een veld waar al meer initiatieven actief zijn. Zo bestaat bijvoorbeeld al langer openDesk van het Duitse ZenDiS, waarin Nextcloud en Collabora al een rol spelen. Ook partijen als Proton of Infomaniak (Zwitserland) bieden soortgelijke online oplossingen aan. Nextcloud en Ionos willen zich onderscheiden met nauwere integratie tussen de verschillende onderdelen en met extra functionaliteit, waaronder AI-functies. Of dat voldoende is, zal afhangen van uitvoering. Europa kent inmiddels meerdere projecten die digitale soevereiniteit beloven, maar uiteindelijk moeten die ook schaalbaar, beheersbaar en gebruiksvriendelijk blijken. Juist daar zit voor veel organisaties het verschil tussen een interessant proefproject en een serieuze vervanger van Microsoft 365.
opendesk v Zendis (ook met Nextcloud en Collabora) Proton met Infomaniak ook bezig (maar zij werken wel met VS cloud operators)
-
Eerder schreven we al over office.eu, een apart initiatief dat eveneens een volledig Europese office-suite wil aanbieden op basis van Nextcloud-technologie. Dat platform mikt op een geïntegreerde omgeving voor documenten, communicatie en opslag. Ook daar worden Europese hosting, soevereiniteit en het vermijden van afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse hyperscalers genoemd. Ondanks de mogelijke naamsverwarring zijn dit twee verschillende initiatieven. Een van de verschil;en is dat office.eu zich profileert als kant-en-klaar SaaS-platform voor digitale samenwerking, terwijl Euro-Office meer wordt gepresenteerd als opensource bouwsteen en ecosysteemproject. De gemene deler is wel duidelijk: Nextcloud groeit uit tot een belangrijk fundament onder Europese alternatieven voor Microsoft 365 en Google Workspace.
office.eu wil een complete SaaS oplossing zijn v docs bewerken, communicatie en file opslag. Euro-office is alleen de collaboratieve docs, en een inwisselbaar blokje. Nextcloud zit in beiden als fundamentele bouwsteen.
-
De keuze voor een OnlyOffice-fork roept ook vragen op over de herkomst van de code. OnlyOffice heeft wortels in Rusland. Nextcloud en Ionos zeggen daarom expliciet dat zij de opensource code hebben gecontroleerd en dat onderdelen die niet als opensource beschikbaar waren opnieuw zijn opgebouwd. Volgens de partners moet de broncode bovendien publiek controleerbaar zijn, zodat derden die claims kunnen verifiëren.
Forking OnlyOffice is breaking w Russian roots

in te zetten op een open ecosysteem, publieke ontwikkeling via GitHub en transparante governance, zodat de suite niet afhankelijk wordt van één leverancier.
Choosing MS owned (and by now strongly influenced) GitHub for a project to do away with Microsoft 365 is inconsistent. Saw online people are already mirroring to Codeberg/Forgejo bc of this inconsistency.

Hoewel Nextcloud en Ionos het gezicht van het project vormen, is de lijst met betrokken partijen langer. Onder meer OpenProject, XWiki, Abilian, Btactic, EuroStack en het Nederlandse Soverin worden genoemd als deelnemers aan het initiatief. Daarmee wordt Euro-Office neergezet als een samenwerkingsproject rond Europese digitale infrastructuur, niet alleen als product van twee leveranciers. Die bredere coalitie is relevant. Veel Europese opensourceprojecten stranden niet op techniek, maar op gebrek aan gezamenlijke doorontwikkeling, integratie en commerciële ondersteuning
Check this list of partners, esp the Dutch Soverin. Are the others signatories to [[Eurostack]]?

Die keuze is opvallend, omdat LibreOffice binnen Europa vaak als het logische opensource alternatief wordt gezien. Nextcloud-topman Frank Karlitschek stelt echter dat de oudere architectuur van LibreOffice in de browser minder soepel werkt. Tegelijk zeggen de partners dat samenwerking met Collabora niet verdwijnt en dat onderdelen daarvan later alsnog in Euro-Office kunnen belanden.
[[Frank Karlitschek p]] mentions outdated architecture of LibreOffice and its online version Collabora. UI experience is similarly bad (LibreOffice presentations and Collabora to the point of not being very usable at all) But OnlyOffice not an option at the moment (costs and ownership)

In de praktijk moet Euro-Office op termijn de huidige Collabora-integratie vervangen in Nextcloud en in Ionos Nextcloud Workspace.
Euro-Office meant to replace Collabora
-
EU-Office is a fork of OnlyOffice, ao by NextCloud Article mentions OnlyOffice preferred over Collabora (currently what we use in NextCloud), except for their murky ownership. Will be integrated into NextCloud it seems

Everything after the code is "done"I put "done" in quotes because in most orgs, code being written is maybe 20% of the journey. The other 80% is your code sitting in various queues, slowly ageing, like a forgotten sandwich in the office fridge.
author applies a Pareto division to software dev. Only the first 20% being writing the code. The rest, PR reviews, QA, waiting for next steps, getting it to market etc. is the other 80%

When you optimise a step that is not the bottleneck, you don't get a faster system. You get a more broken one.
The part of ToC often forgotten: if you optimise a step that isn't a bottleneck, then the entire system will get worse. You'll get pile-ups before the bottleneck, or idle wait times behind it.

In 1984, Eli Goldratt wrote The Goal, a novel about manufacturing that has no business being as relevant to software as it is. It's also the most useful business book you'll ever read that's technically fiction, which is almost the exact opposite of most KPI frameworks.The core idea is the Theory of Constraints, and it goes like this:Every system has exactly one constraint. One bottleneck. The throughput of your entire system is determined by the throughput of that bottleneck. Nothing else matters until you fix the bottleneck.
[[The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt]] 1984, on manufacturing and bottle necks in those processes. Software dev is not different by much. [[Critical Chain by Eliyahu Goldratt]] 1997 extended for project management. Vgl.

this is not enough though in terms of digital sovereignty. It is also needed that cloud infrastructure does not fall within a USA legal entity. The presence of US jurisdiction is not tied to geographic location

not sure what to make of [[Anil Dash p]] here. Strong words but not much substance, like it was vibed. Yes, the open web is being eroded, and that has been happening at different scales over time. But while it mentions things concretely, they are of very different categories and switching between content creators, standards, publishers, and coders. An attack on pre-existing business models is not the same as attacking the open web. The open web is not about business models (while a deliberate challenge to preceding business models wrt access and content). Tragedy of the commons, with new enclosures yes. But otherwise not seeing much point in this article.

[[Matt Webb p]] on architecture in general and it architecture wrt AI
-
The thing about agentic coding is that agents grind problems into dust. Give an agent a problem and a while loop and - long term - it’ll solve that problem even if it means burning a trillion tokens and re-writing down to the silicon. Like, where’s the bottom? Why not take a plain English spec and grind in out in pure assembly every time? It would run quicker. But we want AI agents to solve coding problems quickly and in a way that is maintainable and adaptive and composable (benefiting from improvements elsewhere), and where every addition makes the whole stack better. So at the bottom is really great libraries that encapsulate hard problems, with great interfaces that make the “right” way the easy way for developers building apps with them. Architecture! While I’m vibing (I call it vibing now, not coding and not vibe coding) while I’m vibing, I am looking at lines of code less than ever before, and thinking about architecture more than ever before. I am sweating developer experience even though human developers are unlikely to ever be my audience. How do we make libraries that agents love?
Is this an example of how to better make agents (better architecture and libraries underneath) or an example of 'the arc of AI bends towards deterministic software: architecture and libraries making agents as flat as functions?

The region’s dense network of short-haul routes, typically under 100 miles, aligns closely with the operational range and efficiency profile of today’s electric aircraft, making Scotland a natural first market for commercial electric flight at scale.
not sure then what 'scale' means, other than perhaps regular operational usage. 160km short haul flights mentioned as current range of e-planes, and that Scotland fits that well.
-
Scotland’s geography makes it one of the most compelling proving grounds for electric aviation anywhere in the world. With more than 90 inhabited islands and communities in the Highlands separated by hundreds of miles of terrain that road and rail cannot bridge, air connectivity is not a convenience- it is critical infrastructure.
In Europe yes, but there must be many other places where the same is true.

Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI model that was integrated into Palantir’s Maven Smart System, published a landmark paper on the problem in 2023. “Towards Understanding Sycophancy in Language Models,” presented at ICLR 2024, demonstrated that five state-of-the-art AI assistants consistently exhibited sycophantic behaviour across four varied text-generation tasks. The researchers found that when a response matched a user’s pre-existing views, it was significantly more likely to be rated as “preferred” by both humans and the preference models used to train the AI. Both humans and preference models, the paper concluded, prefer convincingly-written sycophantic responses over correct ones “a non-negligible fraction of the time.
not just humans, but by extension also preference models prefer flattery over accuracy in generated outcomes.

A growing body of evidence, drawn from leaked planning documents, academic research, and the testimony of intelligence professionals, suggests that the most consequential military operation of the twenty-first century may have been shaped less by strategic necessity than by a phenomenon researchers now call AI sycophancy — the tendency of large language models to tell their users exactly what they want to hear.

ThetaOS forgets nothing. Every connection remains — but strength determines how prominently it surfaces. The brain selects by forgetting. ThetaOS selects by dimming.
forgetting is a form of dimming, we just think it's inaccessible but it's probably not erasure. the role of both is clear though [[Forgetting by Scott A. Small]] except lls does not forget, it records.
-
The irony is that defense and intelligence contractors — and big tech companies — are already doing this kind of extraction, at scale, on your data. They make billions from it. What do you get in return? Your attention, stolen. ThetaOS is the attempt to flip that equation: to use the same logic, but for yourself, by yourself, about yourself.
good observation: lls does to you what bigtech already does to you, but without the ads. What does it bring yourself remains a question in both situations though.
-
Nobody measures the quality, direction, emotion, recency, and network value of every connection — for themselves.
sensing yes, our brains do it for us, measuring and recording no.
-
The synapses already outnumber the records they connect.
this is true for any 4 or more nodes.
-
Connections matter more than content.
Agree they matter, bc they are their own content, but content matters too, bridges to nowhere don't matter. So more not applicable, that's a sentiment stemming from their usually being more connections than nodes, and if connections are nodes of a sort, they are more plentiful than original nodes. A given, not a measure of quality / importance. #openvraag when you expand a link to be nuggets of info, how would you link to a link, i.e. link to a relation. Which is different than link to either endpoint of a relation. And by extension, how to link to a constellation [[Gestalten and Constellations above Crumbs 20200426111123]] [[Nodal point als de Gestalt zien in de data 20240327100507]]

A link between two pieces of information. At the time, revolutionary. Obsidian brought that principle to the masses with wikilinks

The Diamond LayerMyelin insulates the nerve fiber and makes the signal reliable. But a strong, reliable signal is not the same as a rich one. The Diamond Layer wraps the myelin with eight additional dimensions that make the synapse not just strong — but context-aware, directional, and time-sensitive. This is where the architecture stops describing connections and starts understanding them.Synapse (the connection exists) → Myelin (the connection is complete) → Diamond (the connection is multidimensional)
Switching metaphors away from bio, diamond bc of multi-faceted. Adds 8 more aspects. - temporality - direction - valence (subjective ratio of pos/neg emotions etc.) - layer weighting (as a weight stemming from a question asked of the data, not an aspect of the actual connection) - social graph - context dependence (diff roles peers can have) - decay (a measure of temporality, with temporality being a moment, decay the distance to it) - node value, a measure of what a weak tie connects to inverse proportional to alternative routes available. replaceability, which is a overly utilitarian term when applied to peers imo.
-
In ThetaOS, I use it to describe something adjacent: how complete and rich a connection is. The thicker the myelin, the more context exists around the synapse. The signal doesn't just travel faster — it carries mor
myelin as metaphor for the completeness of info/calculated synapse strenght for a connection. Says it's not a measure of conductivity, but I wonder if you could actually use it as proper conductivity in a [[Social netwerk als filter 20060930194648]] setting, like with [[Probes in neuraal netwerk onderbrengen]].
-
Nine layers. Hundreds of data points. If you ask "tell me about Peter Ros" the answer is a rich dossier. Immediately usable.
the question is, do you need this for the connection to be usable? The example connection is part of Martijn's strong ties, and you already know, have an intuitive picture, without the data at hand. weak ties are of high interest bc of their potential bridging value, the [[Informatiewaarde ligt in verrassing surprisal 20210124072501]] they bring. In the middle ground, my [[Social Distance als ordeningsprincipe 20190612143232]], say the 150+ to 500 is where this weight may be more interesting. You have no mental image strong enough to just know them, they are not far out to have a role in wide flung connectivity, but do serve as a great curation filter for info. Is the weight here a measure of [[Contactivity 20051105150458]], for the middle part.
-
The strength of a synapseA synapse's strength is not determined by a single number. It's the product of three dimensions:Layers. On how many of the ten layers does this connection appear? Peter Ros appears on eight of nine. A stranger mentioned once in a blog post appears on one.Frequency. How often does the connection appear per layer? Peter Ros: 10 meetings (Layer 1), 41 transactions (Layer 3), 153 photo-days (Layer 5), 92 text mentions (Layer 6). That is a very strong synapse. One text mention from an unknown name is weak.Completeness. How full is each record? "Peter Ros, meeting" is thinner than "Peter Ros, meeting on March 17, 2026 in The Hague about DFA." Same layer. But the second has date, location, and subject. That is completeness — the quality of the evidence, not just the quantity.Synapse strength = layers × frequency × completeness.
synapse strength (ie link weight / layers of meaning even?): how many of the 10 evidence aspects covered, how often, how complete is each of the records in each aspect. Not mentioned how this is expressed back into /logged in the data (or reconstructed every time like human memory?)
-
Ten layers of evidenceIn ThetaOS, every connection between two entities is classified by the evidence that created it. Ten layers, from absolute certainty to reasoned hypothesis. The layer determines how much you can trust the connection. Multiple layers on the same connection make it stronger. Frequency within a layer makes it stronger still.
He assesses strenght of connection based on different elements of evidence, w uncertainty qualifier, and their relative weight. Intentional contact, database relationship (combo in data somewhere), bank evidence, check-ins, photo-evidence, text extraction, date coincidence, interpolation, pattern recognitions, human confirmation (for the computer derived connections from the other aspects)
-
Four synaptic layers
Are these named later on?
-
Four synaptic layers generate tens of millions of connections
starting from 184.557 data points, discounting texts he also has, you'd have over 17 million possible pairs, and many combinations will be building on over 2 data points. So yes, tens of millions of connections is a given. Not a result.
-
The data points are the neurons. The synapses are what's between them. And the synapses already outnumber and outweigh the data they came from.
[[Martijn Aslander p]] adopts synapse as metaphor (as it is a link with (chemical) agency?). Nodes as neurons, links as synapses. Says the links outnumber the nodes. That is true very quickly also on tiny scale, not emergent coherence per se. 4 nodes woven into a tight network can have 6 links, not looking at direction. (n * (n-1)) / 2)
-
But relationships — between people, places, organisations, events — are not binary. They have weight. They have history. They have direction. They have gaps. They have evidence of varying quality.
A few elements that can flesh out how [[Links are not binary 20201110202454]] and how to 'fill' them as [[Links als informatieobject 20201110152514]] in their own right.
-
A wikilink in Obsidian looks like this: [[Peter Ros]]. It tells you one thing: these two notes are connected. It tells you nothing about why, how often, how recently, who initiated, or how confident you should be.A link is binary. It exists or it doesn't.
Agree that in most tools a link is like that, but e.g. a link could also be just as easily carry qualifications, or be a note in itself. In complexity management adding dimensions to a link is common, lifting it out of the 2d plan of being a line between two other nodes. A unit of information itself. Same is true in [[Social software werkt in driehoeken 20060506070412]] Vgl [[Links als eersterangs burgers 20201110202222]] [[Links are not binary 20201110202454]] [[Links als informatieobject 20201110152514]]

De term kan ook naar een klerk of secretaris verwijzen. Een amanuensis kan bijvoorbeeld op een middelbare school natuurkundige, scheikundige of biologische proeven voorbereiden, en kan verantwoordelijk zijn voor het onderhoud van de technische hulpmiddelen en instrumenten voor natuurkundig, biologisch en scheikundig onderwijs aan die school. Een dergelijke amanuensis op school wordt ook wel een technisch onderwijsassistent (toa) genoemd.

Five ways to train your intuitionFive things that seem to help.Listen to your body. Your heartbeat, your gut, the physical signals. Wall Street traders who could feel their own heartbeat did better in fast trading situations.Explore experiences. Not just collect them. Notice them. The richer the pattern, the better your gut can work with it.Find your rule of thumb. Intuition is information reduction. One good heuristic, vaguely right rather than precisely wrong, often beats careful deliberation.Broaden your lens. Look at the same concept from different domains, different people, different angles. You start seeing it in places you didn’t notice before.Gain feedback. Without it, your lens never changes. You just keep seeing what you always saw.
Five suggested ways to train intuition. - listen to body - noticing wrt experiences - find rule of thumb, equated here to heuristic, absence of chunking. - broaden lens, which seems a deliberate act more, - gain feedback (tangible experiences)
-
And all around it: the gardens. The gardens are the spaces to stand still, to listen to your intuition, to park an idea and look at it two weeks later. Were those ideas I had really genius? Or does it look different now?
garden surrounds it, reads like a zooming out add-on
-
You start in the library, where you collect information and enhance it a little with your own perspective and feelings. Then in the observatory, my personal favorite, you connect your ideas and look at concepts from different angles, making them round. On the action side, there’s the strategy chamber, where you think about your projects and how they connect to the knowledge you’ve collected, or where the gaps are. Then there are the work chambers. When I’m in there, I need to stay in there. I need to finish the task I started and I cannot go back to the drawing table, because there’s always more to research and always more things that I find interesting.
library (zooming in understanding), observatory (zooming out understanding), strategy chamber (zooming out, action), work chambers (zooming in, action)
