what's the best agent orchestrator for a VPS agent set up right now?
i need to graduate from tmux + 6-10 claude windows
as handy as it is - claude connect just ends up with all the agents deferring to each other or asking me about shit in the wrong window.
massive skill issue on my part
roughly current VPS stack is:
cswap
tmux
beads
PRs
custom QA and deploy tooling
there's got to be a better way that doesn't end up with me having to constantly /adhd /recap
Agree
My 4yo has been in a group piano lesson for the last few months. She loves it, they practice singing too.
We bought her a keyboard for home that she plays at home whenever she wants. We try not to have “sit down” practice at this early age because it’ll probably just ruin things for her.
That can come later

The best way around the "AI Use in Education" problem is a classic trick: what the person thinks is the test is not actually the test.
The idea is tried and true, and it has also been used in hiring practices for ages—for instance, the classic story about the way you treated the secretary being 10x more important than anything you said in answer to a question during the interview (which you think is the most important thing—so you blow past the things you think are inconsequential, but they are the very things that reveal something true about you, because they are harder to game.)
If this stuff was true decades ago, it's far more true today in the age of AI.

Thanks to @lateinteraction for creating @DSPyOSS and encouraging me out of my imposter syndrome, and @dbreunig for convincing @OReillyMedia this topic was a good bet.
Thanks @LakshyAAAgrawal for making GEPA the optimizer that has been dominating every prompt I try.
Also @isaacbmiller1 the lead maintainer of DSPy, @jamesaphoenix12 coauthor of my last book, @Shashikant86 and Sriharsha Annamaneni for technical review.
Thanks to my colleagues @danshipper and @kieranklaassen for reading and endorsing the book before it was published.
Thanks also to the team at O'Reilly, Jeff, Nicole, Beth for making my writing fit to print.
The wider DSPy community @MaximeRivest, @getpy, and @_rchaves_ and everyone who was patient enough to explain to a naive prompt engineer why we didn't need prompts anymore.
Finally thanks to my wife and kids (who thankfully aren't on X), for giving me 9 months of evenings and weekends to get this done.
Replying to @hammer_mt
The book is in pre-release here, and should be on Amazon soon! oreilly.com/library/view/con…

Just in the process of finalising the transition
Was time to move on

If you want better politicians in Westminster, this is how to do it.
Singapore's PM gets paid more when your pay goes up.
Six months of his S$3.6m (about £2.1m) depend on four targets...
- growth in median pay
- bottom-20% pay
- unemployment
- GDP
Miss all four and he or she gets zero.
Britain hasn't raised its PM's top up since 2008.
Singaporean MPs also get 55% higher pay than UK MPs from October 15th.
Singapore's growth rate per head over the last 20 years, per the last chart, versus the UK.
2.7% real GDP per head increase versus 0.6% for the UK over the last 20 years...
Incentives matter.

I am begging people to stop using AI-generated thumbnails on YouTube. It's so obvious, they look shit and make me actively not want to click. A photo with some basic text will always be better.
worked on my card collection page
also tracking how much i paid for each card
accessible when i'm out and about so i know what to look for

I have just purchased my first pokemon card lol
I was browsing earlier this evening and came across this one. Really like the art, so decided to see if I could build something along these lines.
Claude suggested a more curated collection:
Water type ✕ illustration rare
1 down, 83 more to go

I spent more time than I care to admit on the hover animation the orange orb in the top left corner
Don’t know if it’s too subtle, but it’s there
