Last Notes
True. I'm Catholic, so divorce isn't a thing I comprehend, especially no-fault divorce. A good indicator is finding a woman right after high school or early university, without divorced parents. People who have divorced parents see divorce as an option. I know it's difficult, but you have to try.
Also regarding kids, chances of having them probably peak at 25 and drop exponentially until 40. The more you wait, the less likely to accomplish the most basic animal instinct in all of us: ensure our genes survive.
We can discuss the number, but if by, say 40, you don't have a baby, even as an accident, you're not pushing, you're pulling.
True. Same for men. And for parenting. If a man isn't married and with at least one kid by the age of 30, he sucks dick.

My beloved Jesus, it is not the weight of the Cross, but my sins, which have made Thee suffer so much pain. Ah, by the merits of this first fall, deliver me from the misfortune of falling into mortal sin. I love Thee, O my Jesus, with my whole heart; I repent of having offended Thee. Never permit me to separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.

It's Friday, the day we do penance in rememberance of Our Lord suffering and dying for us.
We skip meat and other luxuries today, and on Sunday, the eight day, we feast.
Wishing you and your family a good day and a good weekend!
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In His name, my God, have mercy.

I was about to order a pixel 11 pro from work, I guess I'll get another pixel 10 pro then. Thanks for letting me know, I thought P11 was just too recent to have GrapheneOS, didn't know about this hardware problem.
Oh, yeah, true! I should probably include my nostr in Amboss.
Nice node, by the way. Unfortunately 10M is a bit too much for me, I usually do 2.5M. Check my node: ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Is it that bad to try to learn new things? 😂
New business here. I have a cron job running twice a day, if there's a new entry on my company's blog, it posts here.
It works for my business, maybe not everybody.

Generative AI now reaches 80 per cent of occupations and more than 40 per cent of tasks. In most of those occupations, fewer than half the workers actually use it. Only 2.8 per cent of tasks show adoption above 50 per cent. None passes 70.
That is the shape of a tool that has been made available and not yet built into how the work gets done. Everybody has access. Almost nothing has become the default method.
The distinction matters when you are the one paying. License counts and login rates measure distribution. They say nothing about whether a task got faster, cheaper or more consistent, and they are the numbers most likely to appear on the slide when someone asks how the rollout is going.
If you have bought seats, pick three or four specific tasks and measure those instead. Time to produce a quote. Hours spent on monthly reporting. Rework on a standard document. If none of them moved, the answer is not more training. It is that the tool was never wired into the work.
The task-level adoption table is the part of the paper to read, not the occupation-level figures. Mapping your own highest-volume tasks against it is a short piece of work, and it is where Stormberry starts an AI review.

Three findings on how customers respond to artificial intelligence, from research summarised by MIT Sloan Management Review.
First, people avoid the chatbot even when it costs them nothing. Participants chose it only 28 per cent of the time when the wait was identical either way.
Second, and more useful, the effect is not symmetrical. Across studies with more than 82,000 participants, customers accepted a worse-than-expected offer 78.6 per cent of the time when it came from a machine, against 60.4 per cent from a person. But humans were better at delivering a better-than-expected offer, 89 per cent against 76. The explanation is that nobody reads intent into a system. There is no generosity to credit and no meanness to resent.
Third, a meta-analysis of 163 studies puts adoption down to two things: whether the customer believes the machine is capable, and how much personalisation the task needs.
That last pair is a better test than choosing by department. Before you automate anything customer-facing, sort your interactions by whether the customer expects to be recognised. Start where they do not. Keep a person where they do, and wherever you have good news to give.

Anthropic has proposed a specification for connecting AI agents to laboratory instruments and industrial robots. It defines read and write operations plus device discovery, with three ways to drive it. A research preview is running at a neuroscience institute, with Genentech, Qiagen, Tecan, Danaher and Doosan Robotics among the partners.
The problem it addresses is genuinely dull and genuinely expensive. Getting a new instrument or machine talking to your existing systems takes weeks, sometimes months, of bespoke integration work, every single time.
Anthropic's own caveat is the honest part: language models still lack physical intuition. This is a way to connect an agent to a machine, not a claim that the agent can run your production line. The specification is not open source yet either.
Whether or not this particular standard wins, the direction is clear enough. If your company runs instruments or machines, document your device interfaces now, while nobody is under pressure. Clean, documented interfaces are what make any future connection cheap. Undocumented ones are what make it a project.

Two security firms say they ran 17 million offensive actions against live systems over three days. The result: 38 validated attack paths and 238 findings, work they estimate would have taken a five-person team 2,400 hours.
Treat the arithmetic with the usual caution. A count of findings is a count of things found, not of things worth fixing, and the firms publishing the number sell the service.
The structural point survives that scepticism. Rob Joyce, formerly of the NSA, put it plainly: you are going to be red-teamed whether you pay for it or not. If attacking systems becomes cheap enough to run continuously, an annual penetration test stops measuring your security and starts measuring how long a hole could sit open.
Most companies I speak to are not choosing between annual testing and continuous testing. They have never done either.
For a small or mid-sized Norwegian company in that position, the first step is not an AI red team. It is a written list of everything you expose to the internet, an ordinary vulnerability scan, and fixing what it finds.

New research says AI agents can reach an average of 45 per cent of company data, and 30 per cent or less at the least prepared organisations. Only about half of the 300 executives surveyed trust the decisions their agents make.
Read the small print first. The study is sponsored, produced with a company that sells data infrastructure, and it reports that every single respondent plans to adopt agentic AI within two years. That last figure tells you who agreed to answer the survey, not what the market is doing.
The 45 per cent survives the scepticism, because it matches what firms find when they actually look. An agent is only as good as the systems somebody bothered to connect it to. Two thirds of the laggards blamed legacy systems for blocking both growth and real-time decisions.
Most failed AI projects I hear about were never model problems. They were plumbing problems wearing a strategy costume.
For a small or mid-sized Norwegian company, start there. List the five systems an assistant would need to read to be genuinely useful, then find out what proper access to each would cost. Do that before choosing a vendor.

Brazil has quietly moved the start of split payment. From January 2027 the new consumption taxes begin to be charged, but the automatic collection at the moment of each transaction will not start with them. No new date has been set. The banks that must process it asked for more time.
If you sell into Brazil or run a subsidiary there, read this as a cash flow story rather than a tax story. The bill does not change. What changes is when the money leaves you. Today a Brazilian company receives the full amount from the customer and pays the tax later, so that gap works as free short term funding. Under split payment, the tax share never reaches your account at all. For a firm running on thin working capital, that is the difference between comfortable and tight.
For a small or mid-sized Norwegian company with Brazilian operations or Brazilian suppliers, use the delay. Model the working capital gap now, while you have months, rather than in the week the new date is finally announced.
