At Orkes Shift ’26 in San Francisco, I explored the work behind reliable AI agents: preserving progress, recovering from failures, and waiting for human decisions. How much of that infrastructure might agents eventually build and operate themselves?
The Fleet Week air show has become a family ritual. For years, we have bought premium seats at Marina Green, paying more than $100 for a place close to the action. The seats are good, but they do not come with any authority over Karl the Fog. He spoiled our
On September 27, I went to Levi's Stadium with my family to watch the 49ers play the Arizona Cardinals. It was the third game of the season, and my first visit this year. I had skipped last season altogether. With Purdy missing so many games, it had been
I ended my previous post about Joanna Stern's book talk with a small resolution: I should use these nearby opportunities more often. Living close to the Computer History Museum only means something if I actually go there. So when I saw that Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude
I went to three home games during the final week of the Giants' season. They lost all three. Each one left me with the familiar feeling that a win had been within reach, and that somehow we had found our way to another loss. The Division Series is getting

About ten years ago, when we were still living in Korea, my family went camping on weekends and holidays. Music was always a part when we were on the road. We used Google Music playlists, including one built around the best Korean girl groups, and MAMAMOO was one of the
In my last Yogurting Re update, I wrote that the biggest remaining gap was targeting. Skill effects played on the character because there was nowhere else for them to go. Version 0.9.0, released on August 30, 2026, closes that gap with target dummies and skill flight paths. 0:
There are few Bay Area plans less appealing to me than getting onto I-880 on a Friday afternoon. Yet on August 14, that was exactly where we were headed. YOASOBI had brought the NORTH AMERICA TOUR 2026 “NEVER ENDING STORIES” to Oakland Arena, and avoiding 880 was not an
I released Yogurting Re 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 on August 24, 2026. The main update brings the original game's skill data into the avatar tool, connecting character motion, weapon styles, effects, and sounds. 0.8.0 The avatar tool can now decode and play all
