Das Bild zeigt eine Allee von stark beschnittenen Platanenbäumen an einem bewölkten Tag, aufgenommen aus einer niedrigen Perspektive, die eine große Pfütze im Vordergrund einschließt. Die Bäume, deren Äste zu knorrigen, knöchelartigen Strukturen zurückgeschnitten wurden, spiegeln sich deutlich in der braunen Pfütze wider und erzeugen eine symmetrische Komposition. Die Reflexion nimmt fast die gesamte untere Hälfte des Bildes ein. Im oberen Teil erstrecken sich die kahlen Äste vor einem hellgrauen Himmel. Rechts steht eine traditionelle Straßenlaterne, die sich ebenfalls im Wasser spiegelt. Im Hintergrund, hinter den Baumreihen, ist ein Gebäude mit Arkaden zu sehen. Die Szene ist in gedeckte Winterfarben getaucht, hauptsächlich Braun- und Grautöne, mit einigen verstreuten trockenen Blättern im Wasser.

A section of the upper-level windows of the New School building at 14th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, as seen from street level looking upward. The windows are in long bands made up of multiple rectangular and triangular glass panels. Each panel is canted upward or downward at a different angle so that they collectively break up a reflection of the scene across the street: bits of blue sky or distorted fragments of a building’s facade and windows. The perspective is angled so that the building lines parallel to the street appear diagonal in the photo, crossing from lower left to upper right, with a large triangle of sky in the upper left corner — blue with wispy white clouds.

Millions of years of symmetry.

This image captures a serene Norwegian fjord landscape under a dramatic sky. The calm water acts as a mirror, reflecting the vibrant blue sky and scattered white and grey clouds with remarkable clarity. Steep, dark mountains rise sharply on both sides, their slopes covered in dense forests showing hints of autumn colors. The mountain on the left appears more rugged and rocky, with sparse evergreen trees on its upper slopes. On the right, the mountain has a denser tree cover, blending deep greens with muted yellows and oranges. In the distance, a hazy mountain range adds depth and vastness to the scene. The overall impression is one of peaceful grandeur, where earth, water, and sky exist in harmonious balance.

Coincidentally, I assume, Abhijit Rao posted on LinkedIn earlier today a very interesting blurb, reporting on his use of this condition handling structure in conjunction with LLMs.

(Works for me in an incognito window, but you may not be able to see past the first comment if you don't have a LinkedIn account.)

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/quasiabhi_commonlisp-lisp-agents-activity-7425847332560293888-fYf9

The blurb references this more detailed account of the work, which I haven't been through in detail yet:

Conditions, Restarts, and the Agent That Chooses

#commonlisp #lisp #agents #llm #programming #code #quasilabs | Abhijit Rao

In 1988 The Common Lisp Condition System was formally introduced by the X3J13 committee, responsible for the ANSI standard. It was a radical idea: The code that /detects/ an error should not decide how to /recover/ from it. Instead, the signaler establishes named recovery options—restarts—and lets a handler higher up the stack choose which one to invoke. The decision belongs to whoever has the broader context. This was ahead of its time. For 35+ years, the "broader context" was either a human in the debugger or a programmer who knew at compile time which restart to pick. Both worked fine. Then LLMs showed up. An agent monitoring a data pipeline encounters a validation error. Three restarts available. No hardcoded strategy. The agent needs to reason about system goals, weigh tradeoffs, adapt to context it wasn't explicitly programmed for. The architecture was already right. What was missing: semantic context for the handler. Restarts come with names and descriptions. Agents need to know what the system is /trying to achieve/. What failed and why. What each recovery option costs. Why these specific restarts exist in the first place. When you add structured intent metadata—goals, failure modes, design rationale—the agent can map recovery options to system objectives. Same restarts. Profoundly different decision-making surface. I built Telos to capture this. It makes the why behind code queryable at runtime. Combined with conditions and restarts, you get agent-legible error recovery. The condition/restart protocol already separates mechanism from policy. It supports multiple recovery options without the signaler knowing which will be chosen. It allows the handler to be arbitrarily far—in code, in time, in understanding—from the signaler. It's an architecture perfect for agentic systems. And, yes, Common Lisp has an ANSI standard.

I’ve been loving all the photos for #MagicInTheMundane and would love to join in! Here’s my first offering. (I’ll post the original photo in the comments.)

#photography #reflection #puddle #sun #snow #winter #wintervibes #closeup

Closeup of a very shallow gray puddle on a city street. Little concrete bumps stick out of the water’s surface like islands, and a patch of dirty snow and ice slopes upward from left to right in the foreground at bottom frame. Reflected in the water is a pale winter sun, in a small opening of blue sky surrounded by gray clouds. Although it’s clear what the image is, it also makes me think of a snow-capped mountain lit by a waning sun, shining through the clouds of a gathering storm.
