The Pentagon has not formally briefed the press on the war since May,
reversing a series of triumphalist press conferences that Hegseth conducted earlier in the conflict.
Details of hidden American injuries come after a weekend of intense fighting between the U.S. and Iran.
The U.S. conducted strikes after an American service member was killed in Iraq during the “controlled detonation” of an Iranian drone, according to the Pentagon.

Am home alone this weekend so you get to have a 2nd post in my AI Harness design series.
Today we discuss the Agentic Loop: how to write one, how context snowballs quadratically, how "thank you" can cost you multiple MB of traffic, how inefficient the statless protocol is (while also unlocking major capabilities)
We plug a basic tool into the loop and overall make a functional AI assistant with the possibility of outside access in 60 lines of code.

Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) provide noninvasive measurements of brain activity with millisecond temporal resolution, enabling the investigation of functional and effective interactions within large-scale brain networks. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the methodological foundations and practical workflows for EEG/MEG-based brain network analysis. We first review the physical principles underlying EEG and MEG, emphasizing their complementary strengths and limitations. We then describe the forward and inverse problems, including subject-specific head modeling, source reconstruction techniques, and the importance of accurate anatomical modeling for reliable source localization. Strategies for mitigating volume conduction and signal leakage are discussed, together with best practices for source-space connectivity analysis. The chapter reviews widely used functional and effective connectivity measures, including coherence, phase synchronization metrics, amplitude envelope correlation, Granger causality, dynamic causal modeling, and transfer entropy, highlighting their assumptions, advantages, and limitations. Modern end-to-end analysis pipelines are presented, with particular emphasis on Brainstorm and complementary open-source software for reproducible EEG/MEG research. Finally, we discuss emerging approaches, including time-varying connectivity, cross-frequency interactions, and network-based analyses, illustrating how noninvasive electrophysiology contributes to understanding brain organization in health and disease. The chapter provides both conceptual foundations and practical guidance for researchers and advanced students seeking to map and interpret human brain networks using EEG and MEG.

Am starting a series of blog posts on design and implementation of a AI Harness - based on the one from Fisk AI https://choria.io/fisk-ai
Will cover all the bits from what it is (todays post) to cover the loop, tools, memory, context, session history and more.
