@stephenpa For the last year plus the OpenAI, Google AI, and other design driven output what people were using for layout, design, and content each had their own design patterns that each was off in their own way. Now Claude is also in and has its common patterns.

“Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal wrote in a X post on Tuesday. “Agents must have limited, controllable, and auditable authorizations. For example, it must be possible to specify whether an agent may only view data, prepare a document, or act within a fixed monetary limit.”

One oddity, in a good way, was automated additions to Pinboard that were made when Pinboard was not available still made it into Pinboard. When I re-ran by day's aggregation from the prior day's activities Pinboard fully populated (rather than just one bookmark) from my DevonThink RSS archive.
