@LysandreJik @art_zucker @remi_or_ Hey that's neat, welcome to Tokyo. You guys hiring? 😏

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@nikitabier do you think it's feasible to have grok conduct an interview with me to perfect my algorithm?

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@ichibantimejp ローンチ、うまくいきますように！

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@ordinarytings But in fairness if that's how you really feel, you should make that point clearer when you do criticise the use cases you don't like. I always assumed you hated the platform rather than a specific case the way you spoke about it.

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@ordinarytings The impression I get from your comments is often more like you are upset they learned to split the atom in the first place that lead to either use of the tech. Getting frustrated with the free market leveraging it for a use case you don't like seems so luddite.

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@ordinarytings I'm sorry but it's not how it works. That's like getting pissy about the internet because it enables people to do bad things. It's a platform technology, it ultimately comes off as hypocritical when you complain about one use and champion another.

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@ordinarytings But this is already happening at scale across many industries? If you think that modern ai is only being used for text and image generation you are sorely mistaken.

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@tiggr_ Overall it feels better and breakthrough is definitely better without all the roof exploits. To be honest the only truly painful part left of the experience is the lobbies, I'm put into the end of a match more often than I am the start of one, and I run into so many bot lobbies

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@DRUNKKZ3 Great stuff. Any chance you have an update on vehicles not spawning? That's ruining breakthrough right now.

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@StodehTV @GreenBastard44 Yup. A "dash dot dot" vibration for right, "dot dot dash" for left. You pick it up eventually

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@StodehTV @GreenBastard44 Actually this is my exact use case! I use the pixel watch, if you are worried about the battery go for the larger gen 3 one.

Maps is great on it, you can use it for ages and it's so good for glancing and getting your bearings. It also uses haptics for right and left

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@cursor_ai Seems like every other attempt from 4.0 to update a file says it's change is corrupted and it has to try again. What's up with the constant failure to update files?

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@AbroadInJapan Hear, hear, people have no idea how much these new "cars" are going to decimate the horse industry! It's a tragedy!

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@lexfridman Don't forget to work the balls, not just the shaft.

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@ordinarytings You think that'll make you mad? Imagine how it'll feel for the Taiwanese 😤

[Ry Van Veluwen @RyVanVel]

@ordinarytings Ever since Charlie Brooker stopped doing his wipe series your stuff is the next best thing. Looking forward to it!
