@paulehoffman I can think of no better person to get this done. Thanks for stepping forward.

The documents people have referenced for years as JSON Schema are labeled "work in-progress". They are drafts, literally "Internet-Draft".

Today, the IETF decided to start the process to fix that... to make JSON Schema a standard.

Anthropic is testing only making Claude Code available in their $100/month or higher plans.

Another sign that we’re hitting the Uber moment for AI tools and everyone’s stopping subsidizing tokens.

With data center capacity at a premium, they don’t need to attract more users. It’s monetization time

People want to learn about Meshtastic! We had a big turnout for NoVALUG’s April meeting, and we were rewarded with a great presentation. Thank you Lenley Ngo! (https://louisianamesh.org/)

The IETF Now Has an Open Source Team

The IESG, the steering group for the IETF, has created an IETF Open Source team. This gives open source communities an avenue to schedule sessions and create IETF mailing lists.

“Rough consensus and running code” has long been the unofficial motto of the IETF. While “running code” has traditionally referred to implementation experience, today a significant portion of that code is developed and maintained in open source communities. This reflects a deep-seated recognition that the Internet’s stability relies on the vital relationship between open source software and standardized protocols.

Having a little going away with an old boss and came up with the phrase:

"Changing jobs is just 'same fire, different dumpster.'"

How do i get a trademark on this.

LLMs seem to be confused by reverse dns domains and IP hierarchy.

I have hit peak 2026: using an AI agent to write specification files for other AI agents.

@paulehoffman @bagder Welcome to the world of automated trial and error and brute force logic engineering. And I am not trying to be snide or dismissive. This video from Adafruit was an eye-opener for me: https://youtu.be/iDKODpuzXmo?si=TVsOeJ0PL9e41lBI

Both AMD and ARM have recently said that this new AI era is causing increased demand for their CPUs because agents are now being driven to kick-off lots of more traditional workflows.

Happy Easter! With my Lenten YouTube fast over, I see that #opencode content has gone from “not much” to “discovered by tech influencers”.

Allow me to introduce #MLL coding, the counterpart to #LLM vibe coding. MLL (Manual Labor of Love) coding allows one to spend more time doing a thing, and lets one get better, faster, and 100% understood code.

On plane #3 to home from IETF 125. I am exhausted. Shenzhen was nice. It is a clean, friendly city and very affordable.

IETF 125 in Shenzhen

I had an interesting conversation during the IETF hackathon with people getting heavily into coding with AI. To get AI to work for serious projects, they need to write down a lot of assumptions and other information, the observation being that they are now documenting things they should have written down for their junior engineers but didn't... but now that the AI needs this information, they are doing it.

Which, from an economic standpoint, is totally backwards assuming that a junior engineer costs a lot more than an AI.

@emacdona Buried in the web client UI when run locally is a "Reset Node DB" feature. This morning I ran that on my Slot 20 (DC) node and it cleared out all the nodes that were apparently left over from when it was on slot 9. I'll wait and see what it picks up, but so far no nodes found. But I think that might be a morning thing because even on slot 9 I see that many of the nodes have not been heard from for awhile.

Schools shouldn't be training centers for proprietary software.

@emacdona Yeah, the channel thing is a bit confusing.

@emacdona Do people actually use these things to communicate? I see a lot of nodes but zero messages.

@emacdona I put the second unit on slot 20, and I am definitely picking up some nodes. But I obviously don't understand this stuff. Some of the same node appear on both slots. I thought slot = frequency, so I am not sure how some of the nodes are on multiple frequencies.
