Gitmarks now easier to setup and use across all your devices.
for the more technical people, you can still self-host yourself.
any which way, your saves still live in a private repo that belongs to you.

Over the past several months, we have substantially hardened the security of our research training environment. We’ve removed live internet access for all frontier models during training and built an offline world for them to use instead—a cached version of the web where they can still learn to browse, search, and use applications.
On September 20, after a model exploited a DNS misconfiguration to find a way outside of this offline world, we paused frontier training to strengthen containment further. We assembled teams of agents, powered by our most cyber-capable models, and tasked them with finding weaknesses in our research environments.
While they found no route to the internet they could easily exploit while concealing their activity from our monitors, they did find zero-day vulnerabilities, virtual machine escapes, and hardware side-channels for communication between agents. We used their discoveries to further strengthen our defenses and contribute fixes to open-source software.
After strengthening our containment architecture, we resumed our frontier RL training and inference on October 1. We’ve reserved substantial compute for continuous red-teaming, and made high-compute red-teaming part of the safety cases we use to decide whether frontier training and evaluation can proceed securely.

okayyy. wow!
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

context switching is one big challenge with working with AI.
the beauty of agent-driven workflows is that you can do as much as you want at once.
unfortunately, that also breeds the downside:
having to keep a mental model of all that you have running and switch between them 💀
this happened to me as well, so i have every reason to believe.
in my own case, they visited twice, after which they placed a 150k debt in my meter (spread across 3 months).
their silly reason: “they mistakenly gave me too much units and i needed to pay for it”
*EKEDC IN DESPERATION*
___________
I installed an 18kW solar power system at my property in Lekki Phase 1, relegating EKEDC supply to a backup status. Since then, I have been having more frequent visits from personnel of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), coming to check my prepaid meter.
On one of those visits, the EKEDC team stood watching the meter for motion to indicate consumption. When the meter wasn't moving, they called me to say they suspected I had bypassed the meter. I told them I had enough solar power for my daytime needs and only used their supply as a backup for the dark hours. To prove this to them, I switched on my inverter bypass for about 2 minutes so my consumption would be from EKEDC. They saw the meter rotating normally. They were visibly upset and one of them mumbled something like _"This ọ̀gá no wan gree us chop"_. They left.
Today (19-Oct-2026), three of them came to my premises with a notice of disconnection. The last time I loaded an EKEDC token was in July 2026 and I still had ample units left. When I asked why they would disconnect me, they said the reason was "LOR" (Loss of Revenue). They said my slow consumption indicates a faulty meter and I had to pay them ₦112,606 for loss of revenue.
I told them my meter was not faulty and that they could test it if they wanted. The lady said they were losing revenue and they had to make up for it.
I didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry. I have no intention of paying EKEDC a dime for its loss of revenue due to my taking steps to protect my interest.
But, I share this story for all who are investing in solar power to know that the DisCos are now desperate. They now have "Loss of Revenue" as a reason for your disconnection from their supply. It is simply that they are not making enough money from you.
I am waiting for EKEDC to disconnect me from their grid before I lodge a formal complaint to the regulatory authority.
We are in interesting times in Nigeria!

btw… i also use solar as main and have relegated IBEDC to a backup.
i have never bypassed my meter (they confirmed this themselves)
i never notice any weird extra token usage that’s worth 150k
these guys are just thieves
GitMarks, the most accessible private bookmark tool you've been searching for.
Zero database, all in your very own GitHub repo. Every save is a commit.
Save from everywhere you consume content.
Free and open-source >>> Link below ↓
got tired of paying for X Premium just to sort my bookmarks.
so i built GitMarks.
github.com/GeekyADAMS/gitmar…
btw.. takes only 2 clicks to bookmark & categorize interesting findings from my iPhone too, using Apple shortcut.
zero backend, database or server runs!
every content flows through git as live code commits, via Github Contents API.
same approach for my portfolio blog posts

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.
It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

We started @HackerRank a decade ago with the belief that skills matter more than pedigree. That’s still our core ethos, but the skills required to do the job have changed.
So, we're tearing down our past and reinventing the company from scratch.
