Author of EDNA CLI tool: https://github.com/JamiA97/edna
Design choices:
– local-first (SQLite + .edna)
– no server/PLM
– edna graph --view → Mermaid lineage map
– JSON export/import so lineage moves with the repo

Still early. If you’re into nerdy tools for transparent file lineage, I’d love feedback.

EDNA – Engineering Design Lineage CLI
EDNA (eng-dna) tags engineering artefacts with stable DNA tokens and tracks their lineage in a local SQLite store.

I’ve been building a tiny CLI to scratch an old engineering itch:

“Where did this result file actually come from?”

It’s called EDNA – Engineering Design DNA. It gives files a DNA token and tracks explicit parent→child links (geom → mesh → CFD results, or raw data → cleaned data → report, etc.).

Interesting article on AI groups. Has a particularly interesting bit on the difference in attitude of Bluesky users vs Truth Social users to AI use (spoiler: Generally blue sky users hate all things AI). www.lesswrong.com/posts/b6rkjh...

For the first time in my life the social norms that kept a lid on nationalist fascist racism; that reclaimed the flag; have stalled.

The lack of actual vocal leadership for us to rally around - for the pro-democracy, pro-rule of law, anti-violent, majority - is now becoming an existential problem.

Esp given assassination of Kirk in US i find Musk's intervention here, calling for dissolution of parliament and a new govt, really scary .

Also UK govt bodies should get the fuck off X.

Probably there is a campaign by a combination of internal and external forces to bring down the labour government, force another general election and install Farage as the new PM. Sure, call me far fetched and crazy.

Countries should stop fearing Putin & Russia. Russian campaign in Ukraine has achieved pitiful gains compared to the carnage wrought on Rus military and economy. It's really a disaster for Putin, he will try to play it as a win and people will believe it because of the state controlled media.

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

As well as quitting X, I am now committing to only buying books from independent publishers this year, no more Amazon. The first one is on its way!

Trump’s Deal-Making Psychology:

🔹 Escalate first – Pressure for leverage.
🔹 Win/Lose mindset – No real compromise.
🔹 Optics > substance – Headlines matter.
🔹 Unpredictable & personal attacks – Keep opponents off balance.
🔹 Prefers 1-on-1 deals – Controls the narrative.
🔹 Threats & brinkmanship

Polish PM Donald Tusk, speaking before his flight to London for the European Ukraine summit:

“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians. [...] Europe today lacks the belief that we are truly a global force.”

Sorry. Catching up.

Americans are on Putin’s side now, and also a monarchy?

Okay, sure. I expect it’s what the Founders intended.
