Been taking Waymos all week. Now in a Lyft. Sitting in the back of a human-driven car is both terrifying and nauseating. There’s no way we’re gonna be allowed to do this much longer.

“Claude for Word” is officially in beta.
Now you get Claude right in your sidebar. NO MORE TAB SWITCHING 🤯
I think they completely nailed the execution on this one.

NO MORE TAB SWITCHING 🤯 I think they completely nailed the execution on this one. The top 4 mind-blowing features: 1. Cross-app brain → It can analyze your open Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint files at the same time (!) 2. Native tracked changes → It suggests edits like a human coworker, it doesn’t just overwrite your work. 3. Formatting that actually works → It respects your H1s, H2s, and even complex numbering. 4. Team skills → You can turn your best prompts into reusable tools for your whole team. IMO this is the most practical AI integration I’ve seen all year. Who’s testing this today?

Incorporate restore drills to verify fresh devices can be configured from backup.
Your backup is worthless if you can't restore under pressure. pic.twitter.com/puBdOnQFQjImmutable backups of PLC programs, HMI configurations, and historian databases stored offline in separate physical locations.

Agent Harnesses and Memory as Context Architecture
By
–
a big part of agent harnesses is how they interact with context memory is just context its therefor impossible to separate harness from memory – as @sarahwooders says, "memory isn't a plugin (it's a harness)"

Agentic AI Patterns: Operating Models Over Features
By
–
Agentic AI patterns ≠ features. They’re operating models. ReAct → execution CodeAct → engineering Self-reflection → accuracy Multi-agent → complexity Agentic RAG → knowledge Pick based on decision risk, not hype.
