#ITByte: #Context #Engineering in #AI is the practice of designing and managing the information around an AI system to enhance its performance and produce accurate results.
It extends beyond prompt engineering by taking a systems-level approach to provide the AI with necessary information in the right format and at the right time.

Efforts to reduce animal experiments are important and should be pursued. But despite progress in #AI, #organoids, and #InSilico models, I’m not convinced we’re there yet — especially in #neuroscience, where #complexity and systemic #context matter. However, I do think we should stay committed and aim for reduction by all available means. I recently came across this article, which gives a good overview of the current state of the field:

We seem to have a series of unstable updates. This time, combined lists (e.g. ToC) give "no list method" entries.
Better wait for the next update.

The latest version of #ConTeXt #LMTX seems to have a broken Mac binary, the Mac in the build farm is reported to have problems.
You can try to compile it yourself, it’s easy:
– you need Xcode installed
– run "source build.sh" in texmf-context/source/luametatex
– copy "build/native/luametatex" to texmf-osx-64/bin/ (Intel) or texmf-osx-arm64/bin/ (Metal)
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Manual_Compilation is overly complicated.)

In case it's useful: #Context is critical. The way a group of people behave is always, always heavily context dependent. This seems relevant to some things people say on the internet...
"Trans people have higher rates of stress-related mental illnesses" - Right now, yes, while most of our societies demonize them and work to take away their basic rights. Let's try full LGBTQIA+ equality and see how trans people do.
"Only X% of people say they have nonbinary gender, trans identity, non-straight sexuality, or other LGBTQIA+ identity/experiences" - OK, yes, while nearly every person on earth lives in a society that marginalizes or demonizes sexual/gender minorities (I've seen X quoted as "under 5%", "under 10%", etc.). Thhose numbers will change as we make the world safer for people to express identities outside the prescribed dominant categories.
"Fascism has an advantage in economic downturns" - For now, when extractive/exploitative capitalist systems dominate the world. I wonder if this will still be true when we make all of our governments more humane.
"UBI is amazingly successful" - For now, yes, while small groups receive UBI in the context of mostly capitalist systems. Let's guarantee everyone a living income and then see.
"Women have better outcomes as political and corporate leaders" - Maybe. They certainly seem to right now, while most women (and eveyrone else) are raised in patriarchal cultures. Let's make equality actually happen and then see.
"Women are more interested in social issues while men are more interested in physical and power-dynamic issues" - Possibly true only while we acculturate women this way (there's actually cool empirical evidence suggesting this is not innate)
"Brown, Black, female, and queer people focus on community and justice while cis/het white male people focus on 'the bottom line' and 'concrete' outcomes" - Evidence that this stops being true when various kinds of inequality stop being the norm.
And so on.

A #macOSapp, #Context, was built using #ClaudeCode, an #AIcoding tool. #Claude #Code, with its #agenticloop and support for #MCPservers, significantly sped up #development. While Claude Code is proficient in #writingcode and #SwiftUI, #contextengineering is crucial due to the limited context window of the model. https://www.indragie.com/blog/i-shipped-a-macos-app-built-entirely-by-claude-code?eicker.news #tech #media #news

There are 15M Jews on the planet. That’s it, that’s all. 15 million.
For context, there are 32 million Irish Americans in America and 82 million in the Irish world wide diaspora.

N’s Blog · There’s a Better Way to Code with AIEvery developer I know has the same frustrating ritual. Open Claude Code or Cursor and ask it to do a task. The AI gives you generic code, sometimes useful (but usually not). You correct it. It apologizes. You explain again, with additional context. Rinse, repeat, until you want to throw your laptop out the window. David Cramer from Sentry recently shared his AI workflow where he maintains manual rules files to give LLMs context. Solid approach, but it feels like too much copy-pasting. It’s 2025, and machines can do a better job of remembering things. It’s funny how we’ve built the most powerful reasoning systems in human history, then lobotomized them by making them forget everything after each conversation. My question: is there a better way?
How to pass the invisible
https://hackers.pub/@hongminhee/2025/how-to-pass-the-invisible
Hackers' Pub · How to pass the invisibleThis post explores the enduring challenge in software programming of how to pass invisible contextual information, such as loggers or request contexts, through applications without cumbersome explicit parameter passing. It examines various approaches throughout history, including dynamic scoping, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), context variables, monads, and effect systems. Each method offers a unique solution, from the simplicity of dynamic scoping in early Lisp to the modularity of AOP and the type-safe encoding of effects in modern functional programming. The post highlights the trade-offs of each approach, such as the unpredictability of dynamic scoping or the complexity of monad transformers. It also touches on how context variables are used in modern asynchronous and parallel programming, as well as in UI frameworks like React. The author concludes by noting that the art of passing the invisible is an eternal theme in software programming, and this post provides valuable insights into the evolution and future directions of this critical aspect of software architecture.
The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.

today’s #ConTeXt update is a bit of beta, because of:
• reworked control over callbacks
• preparations for an upgrade of grid snapping
• overload protection enabled
• a few fixes
• additional warnings
• some potential speedups

one of my bffs sent me this video and i talk about how much i love #fabricAI a lot i haven't even really gotten into the most interesting capabilities of it. it's just brilliant as a way to grab and enrich text, get summaries, and the suggest patterns option is always great.
but watch the first 7 minutes of this and you will see some things that make you want to clear your calendar:
