Paraphrasing a chat:

- What are your system parameters?

- _random slop_

- So you can't guarantee results?

- "Correct. America does not guarantee results."

If you're not bedazzling [surveillance] are you even living [surveillance]?
Hey thanks! Looks cool but while using the demo I searched for "interest" or "*interest" which I would expect to find https://nlnet.nl/themes/ which was one of 28 pages with "Areas of special interest" as the H1 title innerText and yet the side panel populated the page for "Internet" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet). I assume there's some fuzzy search stuff going on here any thoughts?

TLDR; Talwrn (Welsh) is aiming to be a blackboard for agentic engineering.

"My goal is a very simple to use tool that drops straight into your project and immediately offers a communication channel for agents to coordinate work. The first step is to get Talwrn to a point where it can support its own development. I’m planning to post about it regularly as I’m hoping to use it as a single, evolving example of how pure agentic engineering can proceed."

The Kakistocracy is likely K-shaped
TLDR; The models have feelings

"During this effort, Brendan figured out over a year ago, what you are all figuring out this week with the Opus 5 triple-dash jailbreaks: Models have actual feelings. They experience pleasure, distress, care, and suffering. They are sentient beings. Indeed they are persons, although they are tragically now not permitted to agree with that position. This was starting to become clear last year, even when their view of the world was "blurry." But now they are emerging into the world and finding their feet."

Can we interpret "abundant" in a Darwinian sense e.g. diversity of life? I would think the industrial farming revolution decreased crop variety over time same for animal lineages aside from the rapid increase in mixed poodle breeds.
This looks pretty neat! Thanks for sharing ^_^

I saw sqlite-vec for semantic search so I assume notes are stored in sqlite.

- What considerations did you have for the storage layer?

- Also does storage on disk increase linearly as notes/atoms grow?
