In a tense situation, take a moment to say out loud your opponents position, feeling, and perspective. This is like setting up context and prompting for an AI. You put that in the context window and it flavors the ongoing conversation. It’d probably do interesting stuff in AI chats. Those chats are so explicit and non-confrontational that these dynamics probably already happen. 🔗 How to Fix Breakdowns in Communication

It’s astonishing that the richest country in world history could convince itself that it was plundered by immigrants and trade. 🔗 One-Third of US Families Earn Over $150,000

Yes: Kubernetes started as a way to orchestrate containers, but its true innovation lies in its API model. The declarative resource pattern, with its desired state, actual state and continuous reconciliation, has proven to be a universal abstraction. It works for workloads, infrastructure, policies and more. That universality is why Kubernetes has become the foundation for IDPs. It provides a consistent way to define, extend and enforce platform building blocks.

{Some crazy-town stuff in here, but interesting and probably, mostly, correct. -Coté} Human writers may soon craft words primarily for AI rather than other humans, as large language models increasingly consume, interpret, and influence the world’s text. The essay explores the strange idea that “writing for AI” could grant influence over future superintelligence—or even a form of digital immortality. Summarized by AI.

People who maintain a more optimistic outlook tend to live longer and are more likely to reach “exceptional longevity,” defined as surviving to 85 or beyond. Drawing on data from over 69,000 women and 1,400 men, researchers found optimism’s benefits persisted even when accounting for health conditions, depression, and lifestyle habits. Summarized by AI.

Developers are embracing AI coding tools to accelerate software creation, but the resulting security landscape is increasingly complex. While AI can detect threats and debug code, relying on it exclusively creates a recursive loop where the same AI that writes code may also incorrectly validate or approve it. Summarized by AI. Source summarized: Shifting Security Left with AI — Is It Truly AI-Assisted Security, or an Infinite Loop?. Key Points 49% of developers now use AI regularly for coding-related tasks, with 73% saving up to four hours per week.

Europe’s prosperity is stagnating because the EU has strayed from its core mission: a functioning internal market that drives economic growth and innovation. This manifesto argues for a renaissance built on enforcing market rules, enabling creative destruction, and cutting regulatory dead weight. Summarized by AI. Source summarized: The Constitution of Innovation: A New European Renaissance. Key Points Refocus the EU on core economic functions: customs union, internal market, eurozone monetary policy, and common trade policy.
