@cwolferesearch I wish this use case was more established when I was running @Uffizzi_ where we were doing virtual K8s clusters on-demand.

@john_ssuh This resonates actually. Token cost to rebuild everything is comparatively

@gobblergetterr You mean the guy who called recruits who de-committed from Vandy “not men of character” and then later persuaded recruits to de-commit from Vandy and follow him to Penn State?

The essence of great software is the quality of its abstractions. Great abstractions are indefinitely composable and stackable. They become a dependable foundation for future work, future thought.

The best ones are so robust you never have to revisit them -- you can forget them and build forward without ever looking back.

Achieving this is the greatest productivity hack in software engineering. Because the greatest productivity drain is backtracking.

Yeah kinda embarrassing but I love to see a company at Meta’s scale willing to take risks.

Adaptive Branching MCTS:
Very interesting paper here on an advanced reasoning strategy that outperforms what any one model can achieve. The core question is: how can we balance exploring new ideas (i.e. going wide) with refining a single idea (i.e. going deep)?

The results show improvement over standard repeated sampling or sequential refinement on several benchmarks like LiveCodeBench and ARC-AGI, especially as compute budget increases. This is not the case for standard MCTS which plateaus.

Used GPT-5 to analyze 8 insurance policy PFDs. Lightning fast parsing and extremely accurate analysis. Helped me think through the implications and make a decision. Perhaps not the most challenging task but was impressed with speed.

@clairlemon It often makes more financial sense for a wife not to work, given the cost of childcare. It *cost* our family $10k for my wife to work because of combo of taxes & daycare.

@amasad This Week In AI podcast/YT channel covers new releases with a lot of humor from a power users perspective. More of a practical lens and less theoretical.
