A merchant took florins from a Medici office in Florence on the fifteenth of June. Custom set repayment in London, in sterling, for the thirteenth of September. The parties could settle earlier if they wanted. They could not settle later.

Let's say you have a study comparing places that were more or less affected by some economic shock or policy, like increased trade exposure or government spending, on some outcome. You try very hard to set up your study design and… ## [AI coding agents are dumb on their own, but when you give them tools to work with.. they can be incredibly reliable.](https://blackpiratex.com/thoughts/ai-coding-agents-are-dumb-on-their-own-but-when-yo-203098/) _2026-08-29 · BlackPirateX - Unified Feed_ AI coding agents are dumb on their own, but when you give them tools to work with.. they can be incredibly reliable. ## [Valery and the Other Two Session 07](https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2026/08/28/valery-and-the-other-two-session-07/) _2026-08-28 · It's a Binary World 2.0_ This summary sounds a bit different than my usual summaries.

First of all, this is very nicely documented within a list of settled decisions . This decision might seem surprising, but I think it's right. Why would you put unnecessary parentheses in, unless you thought they increased clarity? In my first year of a computer science degree (last century), I recall an exam which included… ## [I Miss the Different Regional Cultures of America](https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-08-28-i-miss-the-different-regional-cultures-of-america/) _2026-08-28 · blog-contact@stevengharms.com (Steven G. Harms) · stevengharms.com_ As a child, growing up between Louisiana and Houston, I remember listening to the radio with my parents, and the DJs would often pepper their bits with this critical fact about the music we'd just heard: where they were from .

I'm a huge fan of formatters, and the kind of opinionated formatter that is gren-format (and elm-format) are especially good. I promise, even if you have strong opinions about formatting and think that you won't get on well with a non-configurable formatter it is well worth getting over that initial grinding… ## [NFTs were never about the tech](https://muddy.jprs.me/posts/2026-08-28-nfts-were-never-about-the-tech/) _2026-08-28 · Big Muddy_ Remember NFTs? Yeah, the premise was unusually empty even by the standards of over-hyped and under-utilized technologies, but let's try to take it seriously as a technology for a moment. The basic idea behind the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is that while digital files are infinitely copyable, the NFT provides a way to establish ownership over a unique token associated with a particular file. The… ## [Update: Ladybird, Servo and strong static guarantees](https://blog.poleprediction.com/posts/update-ladybird-and-strong-static-typing/) _2026-08-28 · Allanderek's blog_ Ladybird adopts Rust In the original post I discussed the fact that Ladybird, a full web browser written in C++ had overtaken Servo, a web rendering engine written in Rust, in web platform tests passing. I was surprised by this since my prior would have it that using the Rust language over C++ would be a strong advantage in terms of productivity.

Atomicity: the upgrade is either applied in full or not applied at all. The system is not left in a broken state because, e.g., "the package manager updated half of the files and then died". This includes situations like a power failure mid-upgrade. Rollback-capable: if a system upgrade fails, or… ## [Five Backtest Invariants Worth Enforcing In Code](https://mcginniscommawill.com/posts/2026-08-28-five-backtest-invariants/) _2026-08-28 · McGinnis, Will_ A backtest has one job: answer what would have happened if you had run this strategy, knowing only what you knew at the time. Every bug in a backtest is a leak in that second clause, and leaks are asymmetric. A backtest that accidentally sees the future does not produce a random error. It produces a better number. That asymmetry is why I now write backtest invariants as tests rather than as care.… ## [Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (2000)](https://bubelov.com/blog/2026/red-alert-2/) _2026-08-28 · Igor Bubelov_ Main menu 2000 was the peak of 2D games. 2D was going out of fashion, but 3D was still ugly because GPUs weren't fast enough to render it beautifully. I'm glad Red Alert 2 chose the 2D approach, that's why it's still playable. Early 3D games have aged much worse, and I'd say Red Alert 3 looks more out-of-date despite being newer. Still a decent looking base Another thing about the year 2000 is the… ## [A Skill Is Just an Agent. So Measure Your Changes.](https://jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/quantifying-skill-changes-arize-ax/) _2026-08-28 · JimBobBennett_ TL;DR: A skill is just an agent, a prompt running in a harness, so you can test a change to it exactly the way you test any other agent. This post walks through how we do that for the arize-instrumentation skill: a golden dataset of real apps to instrument, a sandboxed experiment that stops the agent cheating its way to a good score, and trace-level evaluators that grade each run. By the end… ## [Valery and the Other Two Session 06](https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2026/08/27/valery-and-the-other-two-session-06/) _2026-08-27 · It's a Binary World 2.0_ OK, for the next few sessions worth of blog posts on sessions of Valery and The Other Two , I want to confess what the blog posts are going to consist of. When we started playing this second Tales of the Valiant adventure my oldest, Scarlett, asked if we could record ourselves playing. She had been having trouble remembering from session to session what was going on. We did so and it was fun for a… ## ["Sinners" the Movie and the Dreamed-of Tabletop RPG](https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-08-27-sinners-the-movie-and-the-dreamed-of-tabletop-rpg/) _2026-08-27 · blog-contact@stevengharms.com (Steven G. Harms) · stevengharms.com_ There's a movie that's sat rent-free in my head for almost a year and half, and that's pretty rare. It was Ryan Coogler's film, "Sinners." Two things have stuck with me about it. It's a Black movie. There's a whole culture not native to my own that Coogler shared with the world. It's a culture removed by racial difference and also time to my experience. These are someone else's grandparents'… ## [The Computer-Forward Cyberpunk Icons of Eurythmics](https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-08-27-the-computer-forward-cyberpunk-icons-of-the-eurythmics/) _2026-08-27 · blog-contact@stevengharms.com (Steven G. Harms) · stevengharms.com_ Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart on a train in 1986, Stewart working a Tandy 200. Look at these cyberpunk heroes. He's collapsed after the time-tunnel brought them back to this era, reading one of these "books" that he read about on his PersoComp in school. Here, in the 20 th century, he's going to read about an artist he heard about in a holofilm once.

Basically, a sandboxed agent got stuck on an ExploitGym task that turned out to be impossible. In response, it found a way to coordinate with other agents through an informal message board, which eventually swelled to over a thousand agents coordinating on ways to cheat their tasks.

Add the person you just met, glance at who you owe a follow-up, then wait until you're back at your Mac to actually do anything about it. That was the honest scope of version 1.6. Version 1.7 closes that gap. The phone is a real client now.

OpenAI calls it a "warning shot" . That is a hell of an opening statement. It is also not the whole case file.

For the nine days leading into it, a group calling itself Cyber Leek has been leaking unreleased gameplay on a daily schedule. I think Cyber Leek is Rockstar, and I think they'll admit it eventually.

B. S. Haldane 's essay " On Being the Right Size ", collected in his 1927 book Possible Worlds and Other Essays . The essay centers on the inextricable link between an organism's size and its form; for example, the mechanics of a rabbit would not work at the scale of a hippopotamus, nor would the mechanics of a whale work at the… ## [Lambdas (again) and def syntax](https://blog.poleprediction.com/posts/lambdas-and-def-syntax/) _2026-08-26 · Allanderek's blog_ I have written about lambdas several times: First regarding lambda syntax in Python Then again about lambda syntax in Elm Then again critiquing a post about Python lambdas The common theme in all of these is roughly: Does lambda syntax really need to exist? I think the answer is quite clearly, "no". We could get by just fine if we were forced to use definition syntax to create all functions.… ## [We are Under Psychic Attack](http://blog.calebjay.com/posts/psychic-attack/) _2026-08-26 · caleb@calebjay.com (Caleb Rogers) · Caleb's Blog_ Instagram buzzes your phone and re-displays a message you received several days ago that you haven't replied to yet. When you unlock your phone and tap the notification, instead of taking you to the message directly, it takes you to your feed.

Reading it now is like finding a letter from a previous self who thought he was done modernizing. This year I rebuilt Pedal Wrencher from scratch, and the interesting part is what a controlled experiment it turned out to be.

It's a compact box with a 4in touchscreen that you could hide under a pedalboard and forget about. It loads NAM A2 captures natively, no conversion step, no downscaling. And some of those A2 captures sound better than anything Proxy has given me on a unit that cost me nearly five times as much.

I was curious about what the AI would have to say. I was immediately disappointed by the response: a long paean to the USS Indianapolis speech from Jaws .

Data center buildup is insane and, certainly at a higher rate than we will need when the market settles.

New data from Edison Research shows that, actually, streaming music services now reach more Americans than AM/FM radio does .

If you put the eggs in first, when the water is cold, and then heat up and boil the water and eggs together, the shell will be a lot harder to separate from the egg. You want the water boilding hot BEFORE you add the eggs. Once the water starts boiling, use a metal spoon to lower each egg gently into the pot, so the egg doesn't crack. ## [Keeping up with the Gelmans](https://muddy.jprs.me/posts/2026-08-22-keeping-up-with-the-gelmans/) _2026-08-22 · Big Muddy_ I wrote a post a few days ago reflecting on the origins of this blog as a way to clear out my bookmarks folder.
