@ripienaar@devco.socialAm 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.

@kurt@nelson.funThe EV charging market is so fragmented. First you have to find a station with the right plug. Then you have to make sure it is available and not broken. Then half the time it requires some janky proprietary app with a sign up flow and manual card entry. Maybe then you can charge for a half hour or whatever.
California needs to lead the way with an open protocol for paying for and tracking your charging.
But let's also do this for e-bikes.

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyFor fossil fuel cars, the 'official' (test) emissions were already much lower than their real world emissions. Now the gap for plug-in hybrids has become absurd. We need to lower our emissions, and we need to reduce the EU's dependence on fossil fuel imports, and both don't care about 'official' fake numbers.
We also need more attention for real world performance of battery-electric cars, by the way.

arXiv:2608.11470v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We report a combined rheology and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) study of the structural and mechanical relaxation of a ductile, nanocolloidal glass following the cessation of shear flow. After the glass is sheared to 300% strain at various shear rates and then held at fixed strain, the stress undergoes a protracted, quasi-logarithmic decay with hold time that depends weakly on the initial strain rate. Recovery rheology measurements reveal that this stress relaxation is accompanied by a logarithmic decrease in the elastic component of the recoverable strain; hence, the rates of decrease of the stress and recoverable strain are proportional. XPCS measurements during the stress relaxation reveal dynamics dominated by a convection-like backflow that is divided into two dynamically distinct regions indicative of banded motion. In one region, the flow can be modeled by an affine strain, while in the other region the glass moves as a plug while undergoing slow, glassy relaxation. The rates of these dynamics approximately track the rate of loss of recoverable strain, indicating this motion is the predominant microscopic mechanism driving the conversion of recoverable to unrecoverable strain during stress relaxation. In contrast, XPCS measurements during strain recovery reveal purely affine flow with no evidence of heterogeneity and with strain rates that agree quantitatively with the rheometry measurements. Together, these results provide a unified microscopic picture connecting the evolving internal dynamics of a ductile glass to its macroscopic mechanical relaxation following flow cessation.

@BBC6MusicBot@mastodonapp.uk @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io🥵 PSA: Heat can kill you, even if you’re young and healthy, and is far more dangerous than cold.
It can also cause brain damage in you, your family and pets.
Don’t dismiss this as “it’s only a day or two”.
The only way to be safe is to install AC in your home. Heatwaves are only going to get worse in the future.
There’s affordable portable units that you can easily set up on hot days that vent out a window opening.
They plug in to wall and can cool down a single room to more reasonable temps so you have place to stay cooler, plus they can also often double as heaters in case your heating breaks down in winter or you need some extra warmth.
