Just wondering if this will pop my circuit breaker?

[SciTech Era @SciTechera]

wow. The age of personal AI supercomputers has officially begun.

NVIDIA unveils world’s most powerful deskside AI supercomputer for windows.

They revealed DGX station for windows, a powerful new AI workstation that brings data center-level AI performance directly to the desktop.

It's built on NVIDIA’s GB300 grace blackwell ultra superchip, the system is designed to run massive AI models with up to 1 trillion parameters.

And also delivers up to 20 petaFLOPS of AI performance alongside 748 GB of unified memory, making it one of the most powerful AI systems ever built for deskside use.

The workstation is designed for the next era of AI including autonomous AI agents, advanced reasoning models, scientific research and enterprise-scale automation.

NVIDIA believes systems like this could move AI supercomputing from massive cloud infrastructure directly onto enterprise desks.

If coding agent billing was outcome-based, we wouldn't have to pay for tokens when needing to fix the code they broke.

After 22 years, PaintNET creator Rick Brewster has finally gained ownership of the paintnet domain name.

Since launching PaintNET in 2004, Brewster had to use getpaintnet as the official website because the matching domain was owned by someone else.
This often caused confusion among users searching for the program online.

The situation changed when the domain was allegedly used in a way that made visitors believe it was the official PaintNET website.

Brewster called it a “slam dunk case of trademark infringement,” noting that PAINTNET has been a registered trademark since 2009.

Announcing the news, Brewster said he had been trying to acquire the domain for “22 years.” The successful transfer means PaintNET can finally use the web address that matches its name.

Semantic modules in programming language:
- modular separation
- dependency definition
- error definition
- test definition.

AI often mimics the style of the code it operates on. When working on a team, this can be good because it adds consistency. The trade-off is when your patterns and practices are sound, you are likely to get more of the same. On the other hand, this behavior amplifies anti-patterns and if contributors lack discernment and taste, the effects snowball.

Wondering what happens after companies raise Series Z?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.

This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.

[The Pragmatic Engineer @Pragmatic_Eng]

TypeScript was inspired by a strange ask from the outlook team. Anders Hejlsberg(@ahejlsberg) - creator of C#, TypeScript, Turbo Pascal & Delphi - tells us how TypeScript was born:

“The world started building larger and larger applications in JavaScript. We saw that externally, but also internally.

One of the trigger events was when the outlook team came to see the C# team and asked us whether we would pretty please productize this thing called Script#.

And we go, well, what is Script#? It's this cross compiler that allows you to cross compile C# into JavaScript such that you can basically treat JavaScript as an instruction language and run your C# apps in a browser.

Why would anyone want to do that?

Well, because then you can get a grownup programming language with grownup tooling. You can use Visual Studio, you can have projects. You can do all of these wonderful things that you can't do with JavaScript because JavaScript is just the scripting language with shitty tooling.

And we thought, well, perhaps a better approach would be to fix JavaScript. I mean, surely you're not going to be best of breed in the JavaScript ecosystem by telling people to write in a different programming language”

You were suspended for platform manipulation.

On April 11, we announced that a portion of creator revenue would be allocated to original authors of content. Immediately after, you stopped using Video Share, which you had been using for 3 years.

Instead, you began to programmatically download-and re-upload other accounts' videos so that the system would credit them as original.

The behavior alone was circumstantial. What made it conclusive: you uploaded another user's video with the watermark cropped out. You deliberately attempted to manipulate the payout formula.

We don't pay people who cheat the program.
