I could add you if you want to get alerts when I cross one of your geofences. I can tell when my 18yo is speeding. "DAD, I was on the train then."

The coffee chat afterwards involved some ideas on how Opus 4.7 Adaptive Thinking seems to trigger thinking much more often. It can pick up fsiled tasks from the day before. Appears like it does more off-cycle internet web searches on the routines I am running.

Left Heuston behind at 1315. I need to cross-post my trips and perhaps get alerts when we are within a 25 km range. There used to be geofencing apps for that. Our family uses Life 360.

Obligatory Brydge keyboard snapped at bus stop in Kilkenny.

Larry with Prima Scholar

I finished a two hour session in a packed T-cube with @larrygmaguire.bsky.social answering "Is Claude AI right for your business?" Lots of enthusiasm.

Florida’s Billionaires Want More Private Schools. So They’re Building Their Own. New schools founded by the financial elite feature flight simulators and sailboats, while serving up organic Thai food.

I wonder if there are bike racks at Tech Bro Primary. I wish I had a school nearby where kids were building airplanes.

The smallest work station I have is cushioned by a Tom Bihn bag while traveling at 100 kph.

My brother rehomes parrots by letting them adopt him after several bloody bonding episodes. Most of his big birds are unwanted after couples divorce. I had never seen a festherless bird until brother Pat started rehoming them.

You sound all wet.

Personal Learning Networks FTW

Feathers and Fins Vintage things and birds.

Brother Pat keeps cages covered at night so the chirping stops. When he opens the cages, the feathers fly into our cupboards. He has tree branches in nearly every corner of the house. Pat likes feathers and fins.

Claude is busy

I pay for Claude Pro which means I get around 45 messages per 5-hour window. Since I start using Claude around 6, I'll be done with work by 11, right?

Connecting Claude to Google, Airtable, and Obsidian.

Working with @larrygmaguire.bsky.social to share with people how we use Claude to get jobs done. I'm getting greater productivity by connecting Claude to Google Workspace, to Airtable Bases, and to my local-only Personal Knowledge Vault.

And so many of these data centers end up in rural areas, far from where most people use the services.

Is Claude AI Right For Your Business? [Streamed] Can't make the in-person, choose the streamed attendance. See what Claude AI can actually do for your business operations.

If you have headspace for setting up Claude Cowork (€22 a month) and (free) Obsidian, you would craft a book in a month's worth of command line conversations with the AI. I'm previewing that on Friday in Dublin.

BUT I don't think all the items about storage that Claude found were written by you. They were on adjacent time-stamped pages in my Vault.

I run an instance of Claude and have learned that even when I constrain Claude to only use notes I have written inside a local Vault, Claude Cowork will drift and do things like synthesize content and attribute authorship incorrectly. That's the same behaviour people cite with AI in web search mode.

OK. Gotta do some work before 11 after this rewinding. Periscope down.

Karlin in my vault

When I opened my daily Claude Cowork Calendar this morning, @klillington.bsky.social showed up as an artifact. Then Obsidian generated a karlin.md file on my C Drive, using info in the screencap. I am so chuffed to have an auto-generating auto-curated personal wiki that is crafting a memoir. #tbc

@dens.nyc Hoping you put 4Sq schema into ATproto.

Cat listening to dawn chorus

My best days start with a door open to a dawn chorus outside.

At home in PA we have three budgies, two cockatiels, four finches, two canaries, two lovebirds, one African Grey parrot, and two conures. I'm in Ireland and only have a dawn chorus with playful robins and finches. There is a hawk overhead when a fox dies in the forest.

Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate

Asked AI fir "Recent examples of Oval Office dementia" and got this gift:

@sewimperfect.bsky.social I don't know if your menagerie is feathered so I offer you this short from my family home in PA. We have 17 birds in the house (most rehomed). Some insist on morning showers.

The best news from Claude about my messy file system and a messier JSON file today is "Claude has direct read/write access to your Obsidian vault and I can read, search, and edit your notes directly. That's how I was able to find your daily note and count the unchecked items."

UCLA estimates the elimination of USAID will cause the death of 14m people. Which means Trump/Musk have the largest death toll of any regime leaders since Mao died.

Very mid-Atlantic, don't you think? But your vocabulary makes you a furriner--or someone from Berkeley.

New disclosures reveal how DOGE actually worked Depositions offer insight into what Elon Musk’s group was up to. Members describe a club-like atmosphere in which they pushed for grant and contract cancellations with little oversight.

More fascinating will be Congressional Hearings on ChatGPT prompts that interns like Big Balls used to target and demolish humanitarian projects.
