It's almost as if everything Trump says about the negotiations bullshit and everyone who believes him is a cultist or a moron.

I have, conservatively, 1000 open tabs.

They're called workspaces and they're essentially windows of tab groups that you can close and open (to manage perf) but are auto-saved.

My most heretical tech opinion is that microsoft edge is the best browser because it’s just a fork of chrome with excellent side tabs, and side tab groups, *and* side tab group groups

The White House’s three-pronged plan to attack the midterms

Trump is pushing *hard* for the SAVE America Act to pass knowing that it’s bound to fail. Why? It's a pretext. Read about the administration’s much broader strategy to undermine the midterms and what we can all do about it.

Raul Rivera yelling outside Mamdani presser.

Mamdani: “I want that man to be able to afford to keep living in NYC, because the day that I don't hear him yelling at me, it means he got priced out of this place.”

“We need to make this a city where it's affordable enough to yell at your politicians.”

GitHub - zentropi-ai/skills: Agent skills powered by the Zentropi content classification engine Agent skills powered by the Zentropi content classification engine - zentropi-ai/skills

This means anyone building an agent can give it a principled, consistent way to evaluate content instead of hoping the LLM gets it right. Small step, but it makes agents more trustworthy by default. Give the skill at try here and let us know how it goes: github.com/zentropi-ai/skills/

Enabling Streaming Classification CoPE now enables streaming classification using a linear probe. This is an experimental methodology we developed to help ensure the safety of real-time generative AI systems.

The result is a running violation score as content generates - with enough lead time to actually act on it. Weights, training code, and tutorial are all open. You can find the repo at huggingface.co/zentropi-ai/... and a detailed writeup at blog.zentropi.ai/enabling-str... 🧵 4/4

So @samidh.bsky.social built a very lightweight probe on the internal representations of CoPE (our content evaluation model). As it processes each token, those representations already encode whether a violation is developing - the probe just has to ask. 🧵 3/4

When an LLM generates token-by-token and the user reads as it arrives, "complete text" means the user already saw it. If you're reliant on post-hoc classification, you've lost the best window for intervention and wasted a bunch of tokens to boot. 🧵 2/4

Historically, content classification tooling has been built around the assumption that you're evaluating a finished piece of content. That assumption holds fine for user-generated text. It breaks down entirely for streaming LLM outputs. 🧵 1/4

@dwillner.bsky.social and I have spent years watching T&S teams rebuild the same infrastructure from scratch. This is what it looks like when open tools actually work together instead. Really proud of this one and appreciative of @roost.tools's leadership!
