One term that keeps coming up in discussions about thriving in the AI era is “high agency.” This 30-minute longread by George Mack is a great way to get you thinking about how high or low agency shows up in your life.

Peter Steinberger hinted on a podcast last week that something like this might happen. Peter is joining OpenAI, and OpenClaw will stay independent in a new foundation. From Peter’s blog: When I started exploring AI, my goal was to have fun and inspire people. And here we ar...

My thanks to WorkOS for sponsoring DF last week. Connecting user accounts to third-party APIs always comes with the same plumbing: OAuth flows, token storage, refresh logic, and provider-specific quirks. WorkOS Pipes removes that overhead. Users connect services like GitHub, Slack, Google, Salesforce, and other supported providers through a drop-in widget. Your back end requests a valid access token from the Pipes API when needed, while Pipes handles credential storage and token refresh. That’s it.

Simplify your integrations with WorkOS Pipes.

Joanna Stern (last week):

After 12 years with The Wall Street Journal, this is my final column and video as a full-time employee. I’m off to build something new and independent. I’ll still pop up on these pages and at WSJ events from time to time. Can’t get rid of me that easily! Before I go, I wanted to reflect on the past dozen years in tech — in a letter to my first-month-on-the-job self.

The video version of her sign-off column is worth it for the Velveeta gag alone.

Good first game at the all-star game(s). Wemby’s upset! He wanted that one. I had to root for World too. 🏀

Simon Willison blogs about Adam Leventhal coining “deep blue” to refer to programmers who are feeling a loss of purpose with new AI coding agents.

A story about an AI generated article contained fabricated, AI generated quotes.

Imagine yourself in the beautiful Dolomites of Cortina d'Ampezzo. The air is thin and cold. The stars blaze in the night sky above you. And inside your body is the kind of fear that empties you, that vibrates between your ears, that makes your heart pump so fast you think it...

At FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels, Belgium, Daniel Stenberg, creator of the popular open source data transfer program, cURL, described AI as

Dual moguls is new to the Olympics this year. It's head-to-head heats, with skiers facing moguls, gates, and jumps—and being judged, head-to-head, on each element for a combined score. In the men's medal rounds today, Japan's Ikuma Horishima (pictured above, sort of) had a disastrous run in his round-of-16 showdown, and somehow ended up facing the wrong way. That's an odd and very specific sort of adversity to overcome, but he did it.

Here he is soaring fully out of control on his final jump:

Shoutout to Tower version 2.6.7 which is still solid even though it hasn’t been updated in years. I decided not to update to the newer subscription-based versions, even when they sponsored @coreint, because “if it ain’t broke”… So rare to have an app that just works nearly forever.

In a blog earlier this February, Snyk engineers said they scanned the entire ClawHub (the OpenClaw marketplace) and found that

As a sport most people pay intense attention to for two weeks every four years and then not at all the rest of the time, curling can be slightly impenetrable to the casual viewer; its intricacies and shibboleths even more so. As the cheating brouhaha between Sweden and Canada enters Day 3, we thought it would be useful to answer some questions you might have over this icy scandal.

What happened?

On Feb. 13, Canada defeated Sweden 8-6 in a men's team round-robin match. The round-robin matches determine who gets into the medal rounds. Early in the game, Sweden accused Canada's curlers of "double-touching" their stones after they'd passed the hog line, and asked officials to keep an eye on the Canadians for further violations. In response, Canada petulantly asked officials to monitor the Swedes for illegal shots as well.

When Manton or Doc show up in my blogroll, and they do update fairly regularly, I always click the wedge to see what they say. I can see the first 300 chars of each post in a popup. If it's interesting I click the link to read the full post and any comments. Now I want it coming back to me. My linkblog is cross-posted to Manton's site -- micro.blog, which has thousands of users. I have no way of knowing if anyone has commented on them, but if there were a feed I'd add it to my blogroll. So it would be great to have a feed of all the comments on my posts on micro.blog. Would fit into my flow perfectly. This goes all the way back to the beginnings of RSS, where we called it "automated web surfing." I don't know where people are talking about my stuff, but a well-placed feed can make up for that.

News must be better defended, decentralized, unownable, all parts replaceable. The current situation was preventable. Same problem the social web has.

Braintrust query. Every once in a while I get reports from people who looked something up on my blog's Daytona search engine saying that where they expected dates they see things like this: NaN. The reason you see that is that the archive has a mistake in it, where there was...

BTW: NaN stands for Not A Number.
