The real problem is that the only people qualified to drive an agentic coding model are people who are intimately familiar with the codebase and *familiarity with the codebase drops when you vibe code*
See, for example, the recent study commissioned by Anthropic: arxiv.org/abs/2601.20245
Kind of feels like Pax Americana is enshittifying.
Full-body portrait photograph of Susie Wiles, a middle aged woman in an olive pantsuit with a white shirt underneath. The room around her looks unstaged - in the foreground is a sliver of a wing chair, on the other side a small portion of a desk with half of some papers and a post it showing. There is a light switch just over her right shouder and an open hallway behind that.
Full body portrait photograph of JD Vance, a smarmy-looking thirtyish man in a dark suit with a red tie and white shirt. He is posed against a blank gray wall. To his right is a flag on a flagstand, only 2/3s of it in shot. Next to his left upper arm on the wall is a light switch and a thermostat. On the left side of the shot, we can see the very back of a blue chair in side profile, a bit of a lampshade and a tiny sliver of a side table.
Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.
Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.
Just some of the news coverage of last Thursday's National Emergency Briefing on the climate & nature crisis, attended by over 1,200 politicians and influential people from business, culture, faith, sport and the media.

The world might be pulling back on climate truth: but I'm stepping it up.
How? I'm adding new videos, deep dives & behind-the-scenes stories to Talking Climate.
Why? Because climate honesty and hope matter more than ever right now.

A small gripe in the grand scheme of things but this shows what's increasingly obvious to people attending UK party conferences
Many fringe events are not open discussion of policy & political options, but *adverts* for whoever is paying for the event

Shouldn't have had that coffee.
Today was one of my favourite lectures, on how evidence influences debates.
Case A: 79 people died as a consequence of smart motorways (2010-2024). That's sufficient to pause the policy.
Case B: In the first year of the Welsh 20mph scheme 900 fewer people were injured. There's still contestation.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

One really consistent pattern whenever I look at the energy and financial data for large big tech companies is that energy + revenue are being decoupled. They keep having to buy more and more energy each year to make the same $1 of revenue.
This is a pretty new thing

Cover of the book
A quote from ‘Serving the Reich’ that is as pertinent today as it was in 1930s Germany:
“The sense of helpless fatalism among the academic scientists seems not so much misjudged as calculatedly self-serving. The Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard, working at the University of Berlin in 1933 said…”

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why
The public discourse is not keeping up.
