people of pi (durable). i did a round of performance optimizations in pi-durable. quick primer. every step of an agent run is saved to a db before the agent moves on. 1 save = 1 commit. thats what makes it durable, crash mid run, resume from the last commit. ~12 commits per run

I was invited to watch NAZA and asked to sit on Q&A panels afterwards to discuss. Here are my thoughts on what the film reveals and what it shields. The story told and the target it misses. #naza #israel electronicintifada.net/conte…

Israel doesn’t want peace with anyone, they want land and resources and they’ll kill anyone and destroy anything that gets in their way. I see that the Israelis failed to show the entire church in Qawzah. I took this photo a few days ago.

Day 22/ T3 Code has a new design 🙏
This was a dumb idea. I have like 5 things I want to drop right now but I feel like I have to slow down and only ship 1 a day. Will you guys forgive me if we do more drops today and (possibly) fewer over the week?

I don't think I've seen the Toronto Centre polling station at TMU that busy before! Really cool to see how engaged people are.

Watch this. Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists. “We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected. Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions. Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent. But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models? We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem. Read the full report: cohere.com/blog/concerning-b…

Now she’s building Grok Bot and still on the React Compiler core team. She is truly an inspiration. ✨✨

Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, told Rashid Khalidi that his 80-year-old mother, who had all but called him a Hamas member, apologized after reading his book: “I’m ashamed I ever said I was a Zionist.” His book traces Jewish opposition to Zionism over the past century and challenges their exclusion in discussions over Palestine. “No, you don’t get to set the rules anymore. We’re setting the rules now,” Moser said. Khalidi added that he had never seen so many people change their views so rapidly, noting that major publishers are now embracing books on Palestine that would have been virtually unpublishable just three or four years ago.
