🔗 My AI agents are all nuts

But I’ve been the first responder on an incident and fed 4o — not o4-mini, 4o — log transcripts, and watched it in seconds spot LVM metadata corruption issues on a host we’ve been complaining about for months. Am I better than an LLM agent at interrogating OpenSearch logs and Honeycomb traces? No. No, I am not.

Feeding error logs to AI is a game a hit and miss. Sometimes, you find a clue, and sometimes, the issue is so out of its reach that it sends you off on a wild goose chase where you waste hours testing and verifying every single one of the agent’s leads.

One of the important new features introduced in macOS 26 Tahoe is a new disk image format that can achieve near-native speeds: ASIF, documented here.

Hue Knew? Adaptive optimization problems in Liquid Glass

I’m interested to see how these variables are handled. My inclination would be to program the notifications so they sense the background and adjust accordingly, but I don’t know enough about programming to know whether this is possible.
