Two years ago I created a simple script to detect when the camera is on, and turn on a "LIVE" light signal in my home office to let my wife to know when I was in a meet. I improved the script which becomes a CLI tool compatible with Linux and macOS sergiocarracedo.es/on-a-meet…

Building with AI and SKILLs? 🤖 Humans love nested folders 📂 AI Agents love flat directories 📄 I built skill-organizer to organize skill files in hierarchies, and flatten them automatically for your agent. skill-organizer.sergiocarrac… Check the tree structure below 👇

harness engineering, coined by @Vtrivedy10 is about the things you build around the model to create a good agent - as @mitchellh puts it > [it] is the idea that anytime you find an agent makes a mistake, you take the time to engineer a solution such that the agent never makes that mistake again.

Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs). We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company. We're hiring! [the background image is the Veil Nebula - a picture I took from my backyard, most appropriate for an unveiling] More details here: techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/ya…
Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is building a new breed of AI systems that understand the world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, and are controllable and safe. We’ve raised a $1.03B (~€890M) round from global investors who believe in our vision of universally intelligent systems centered on world models. This round is co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with other investors and angels across the world. We are a growing team of researchers and builders, operating in Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore from day one. Read more: amilabs.xyz/ AMI - Real world. Real intelligence.

A very useful tool to get faster and more accurate context for AI agents: Instead of telling the agent, make the text bigger, with this tool you can just click and select and element and you will get in your clipboard part of the HTML and involved files react-grab.com/

When you think you're finished with your development plan for your agent, try this prompt with a few different frontier models. You might be amazed what they come up with: "What's the single smartest and most radically innovative and accretive and useful and compelling addition you could make to the plan at this point?" If you've already started development and have a fleshed out project already, replace the word "plan" with "project."
Replying to @bradlishman
Yes, if you're not cranking the ambition factor to the max, you're wasting the potential of these frontier models. They've eclipsed us already, you just need to know how to draw it out of them.

How I try to use a Mac as a "normal" PC I’m not a big fan of Apple products and their philosophy. But this post is not about that. I just wanted to minimize the friction when switching from my work computer to my personal computer. sergiocarracedo.es/use-a-mac…

One of our Kafka clusters was processing yesterday more than the double of data than the max limit we had two years ago with the same amount of resources. A good example of how good Kafka is. Also, how important is to optimize it, both in clients and brokers

I was doing some research on writing Rust for the Linux kernel, and I found a nice use case for testing @nixos_org. TLDR is a joy for kernel development and I highly recommend it. I wrote a blog post about it: acalustra.com/simplifying-ru…

A quick thread on in the importance of being careful what data you share - even if you're the Queen. Today, Her Maj tweeted this lovely picture, gor bless er, etc. You might think that the contents of the red box would be official business. And you'd be right. 1/6

It was a real pleasure to chat with @goinggodotnet on this. I feel honoured that, despite being a recruiter, I was invited to do so! 😊🤣 #golang
🎙️Welcome @MGallagher2010 to the podcast! 🎙️ Engineers often have a negative impression of recruiters but sometimes you find a special person like Martin. As a specialist in #golang, Martin is dedicated to finding the best opportunity for you & your family 😊

The only reason to meet is to collaborate—to work together with someone else. Status meetings never have value. Ever. If all you're doing when you meet is trading information, there are always better ways to do that. Always.

I don't know who you are, Mat Krahn, or whether you're alive or dead or both, but for me you win the Internet this week.
