After about two months of work and everyday tests, the result is RemCTL (short for “Reminders Control”): to the best of my knowledge, it’s the only Reminders CLI that can read and write any kind of reminder and Reminders metadata…&#34;<br/><br/>Really impressive.

An excerpt from of a longer post by Peter Steinberger on X:<br/><br/>&#34;Part of what excites me so much about working on OpenClaw is that I’m trying to answer the question:<br/><br/>How would we build software in the future if tokens don’t matter?<br/><br/>We constant run ~100 codex in the cloud, reviewing every PR, every issue. If a fix on main lands, clawsweeper will eventually find that 6 month old issue and close it with an exact reference.&#34; <a href="https://x.com/steipete/status/2055405041843052792">https://x.com/steipete/status/2055405041843052792</a> 2026-05-16T00:45:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswpftq7fyxt7jr8gxkzd2jpwks47u4ykpupyste8lvx7560ges2sczyrhx4g9a42580rqwhmjd9tkxa3fv0wchu0v023rxz4jy6sxrzz5svy4u7ez Spurs vs. Timberwolves game 6 tonight is going to be big. Nice article at ESPN on the organization’s culture and longevity:<br/><br/>&#34;On any given day at the facility, a current Spur can walk into a room filled with championship players from the past. It’s not uncommon to go to lunch and find Ginobili dining with three-time champion Bruce Bowen, whose No. 12 jersey is retired in San Antonio. Duncan, who once had a space in the coaches’ locker room at the old facility, is a fixture at the new spot, too, along with two-time champ and 10-time All-Star David Robinson and Sean Elliott…&#34; <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48770686/spurs-young-team-learns-san-antonio-legends-nba-playoffs">https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48770686/spurs-young-team-learns-san-antonio-legends-nba-playoffs</a> 2026-05-15T23:57:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9lccfxtrc0lac3chn7cz9vzchf0wjcq27rj6cw3j6tktngvp9ujqzyrhx4g9a42580rqwhmjd9tkxa3fv0wchu0v023rxz4jy6sxrzz5sv0kv3ms I remain skeptical of Tesla robotaxis and this report doesn’t make me feel better:<br/><br/>&#34;Tesla Robotaxis have crashed at least twice since July 2025 while a teleoperator was remotely driving the vehicles…&#34;<br/><br/>Waymo has the right approach.

On the evidence:<br/><br/>&#34;Musk is wrong here and he should lose. […] Across a two-week trial where Musk and his lawyers have worked every single day to put Altman’s dishonesty at the forefront of the jury’s mind, Elon is the most dishonest character in that courtroom, at least with respect to the facts at hand.&#34;<br/><br/>It’s a medium-long post and goes through the text messages and other surrounding details. <a href="https://sharptext.net/2026/elons-openai-lawsuit-is-boring-and-insulting-and-its-already-a-success/">https://sharptext.net/2026/elons-openai-lawsuit-is-boring-and-insulting-and-its-already-a-success/</a> 2026-05-15T19:21:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2ga0pvrxpm0dy5lrfm789wc0pupmcfzz8unl0ut2798krj0kj08szyrhx4g9a42580rqwhmjd9tkxa3fv0wchu0v023rxz4jy6sxrzz5sv02yuuk I work every day on a lot of different things.

It’s read-only, which I assume is enforced by Plaid:<br/><br/>&#34;When you connect your accounts, ChatGPT can access your balances, transactions, investments, and liabilities to help visualize your finances or answer your questions. It cannot see full account numbers or make any changes to your accounts.&#34;<br/><br/>This year I had planned to download all my bank statements and feed them to Codex to help organize things for taxes.

The update this week is a rewrite (apparently in SwiftUI) and can connect to a Mac running Codex. Seems good.

This part is really the whole case:<br/><br/>&#34;OpenAI’s attorneys have asked every witness to describe specific restrictions put on Musk’s donations, and none have, including his financial adviser Jared Birchall, his chief of staff Sam Teller, or his special adviser Shivon Zilis. They say everyone involved agreed that private fundraising would be required to achieve its goals, and note that Musk himself attempted to launch an OpenAI-affiliated for-profit he would personally control, and later to merge OpenAI into his company Tesla.&#34; <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/14/what-the-jury-will-actually-decide-in-the-case-of-elon-musk-vs-sam-altman/">https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/14/what-the-jury-will-actually-decide-in-the-case-of-elon-musk-vs-sam-altman/</a> 2026-05-15T03:30:46Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2e95wg3jfmsj5xtlus2ul2nzghx7c3cmv3xj9vcl7u8j6smepvvgzyrhx4g9a42580rqwhmjd9tkxa3fv0wchu0v023rxz4jy6sxrzz5sv35s7c8 Listening to the closing arguments in Elon Musk vs. OpenAI. Elon left the country to be with Trump and Tim Cook in China. Pretty sure Elon knows the case is all but lost. Maybe the goal was never to win, just to make the defendants look bad and waste everyone’s time. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eZCIO8yoJI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eZCIO8yoJI</a> 2026-05-14T20:10:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsq6yxmfqsvcrnh72ttjlhzxfr897n8s9c9g7nfneaesx5vzndvqagzyrhx4g9a42580rqwhmjd9tkxa3fv0wchu0v023rxz4jy6sxrzz5svh056kv Slowly making improvements to our book database in Micro.blog.

I was antsy. Only 26 years old by that time, I wanted to go back to school for another college degree, this time in music. It’s funny to think back now at how “done” I thought our work at the company was. I was looking at the future through Mac-colored lenses, and it seemed as though everything important had been done.&#34; <a href="https://micro.blog/danielpunkass">https://micro.blog/danielpunkass</a> <a href="https://bitsplitting.org/2026/05/13/thirty-years/">https://bitsplitting.org/2026/05/13/thirty-years/</a> 2026-05-13T15:36:35Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvg0yyuq8ewyfq47gzdpz65690vyapr9eam67flt9c8zl7p4x7d5qzyrhx4g9a42580rqwhmjd9tkxa3fv0wchu0v023rxz4jy6sxrzz5svumz7cf Before the Spurs game, moment of silence for Brandon Clarke and Jason Collins… but then it fades to a Draft Kings commercial.
