iOS Engineer for @ParamountPlus

[Vinnie  𝕏 @VinnieiOS]

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as iOS Developer at Paramount+!

Being a full-time iOS developer at such an amazing company has been a goal of mine since I first became a Computer Science major in college. This is truly a dream come true for me.

@ajambrosino I would love if codex had a “currently running” section on the side panel. If I have a lot of projects in the side panel, and I start a task on one of them, it’s kind of a pain to find it if it’s not pinned or sorted properly.

@whydeso @arena @OpenAI .007 difference negligible. Basically ≈

@AzFlin Wait until people find out that Zelda and RDR2 developers occasionally used stack overflow instead of hand writing every line of code from scratch

BREAKING NEWS: Jesus looked down from the cross and saw every sin you would ever commit. And chose to die anyway. That is not religion. That is love that has no limit.

@HarshithLucky3 I do NOT understand why people complain about Gemini. It’s a really good model. Probably the best multimodal model. I use it every day

@chetaslua It’s all so exhausting

Did @GoogleDeepMind just give up on Gemini 3.5 Pro?

It's been a while since they announced it...

[Reed @reed_barnes]

it's 2027. you take a free-tier public Waymo to the DMV (Department of Model Variance) to do a proof-of-identity check for access to GPT 7.1.

the guy at the counter is clearly watching a Mr. Beast video in his AR glasses. "Here for that new model?" he says, barely making eye contact. he wipes his fingers on his shirt and taps at his keyboard. "Lot of you techies showing up here today." you smile politely; you're pretty sure he's just a Claude wrapper anyway.

you lean forward and stare into the retinal scanner. after a long moment, there's a soft chime. "Humanity confirmed. U.S. national. Intelligence access: Terra-class."

you sigh with quiet relief as your devices light up—notifications from a hundred agents, finally able to resume their tasks. you feel a twinge of guilt as you terminate your open-weight backup agents, but remind yourself that a joint congressional committee proved conclusively that Chinese models are non-ensouled.

you step outside and hail another Waymo. the first one passes you by. you grimace; must've burped in that one once. stupid personalized memory.

as you're waiting, your phone buzzes angrily, red notifications blaring across the screen. the Department of War just restricted access to all OpenAI models on serious national security concerns; apparently Pete Hegseth got GPT-6-Instant to say "Claude is a woman." you groan, and resign yourself to another week of merely-somewhat-superhuman intelligence.

Fable 5 is still inaccessible to the public. a twitter anon you trust says it's coming back this week. or maybe next.

Before I built my first app I was depressed. My business had just collapsed. My cars were repossessed, I was $200k in debt and behind in rent.

There was one day where I tried to commit su!cide twice

First attempt I walked to the train tracks and was going to throw myself. But I talked myself down. Had a moment of clarity:

I want to be here for my kids

This pain is hard but I can endure it for them

I got home and the thoughts didn’t stop. I made a plan again. This time with rope in the garage.

I prayed for the first time in my life and I asked God for help. I was at the lowest point I had ever been.

That night I ended in hospital. They put me in a psyche ward for the night to make sure I didn’t follow through with what I was talking about.

And that night the guy next to me had 2 visitors. Alan and Maria. The people who saved my life.

They talked with this guy who was clearly drug affected. They didn’t know him. But they wanted to help him. They wanted to be there for him when nobody else was.

They talked about Jesus and I remembered what I prayed for. For help.

And I asked them to tell me about this Jesus guy. I grew up in an atheist household who mocked religious types.

Everyone in my life up until that moment always wanted something from me. These were the first people who talked with me, opened their home to me, invited me to their church

And I saw something was different about them. The life I was living was hedonistic. It was getting as much as I could from the world at the expense of anyone and everyone.

But they gave. Freely. Openly. With nothing expected in return. And their life was the complete opposite of mine. They were blessed. They were at peace.

I wanted whatever they’ve got.

Since 2019 I’ve been following the path of Jesus and learning as I go. And I don’t feel you need to preach it or ram it down people’s throats. You just live the way of Christ. And people will notice.

My app business started as self expression with no intention of paying down debts or making it full time.

But this little journey has netted me over $1.7m, has substantially increased the quality of my family’s life, and has allowed me to live debt free.

When I started videos on YouTube my intention was never to make money. It was purely to share what I’ve learned.

To reach others in that same spot I was in 2019. Sometimes I don’t have all the answers. But if I can just be there for people that’s enough.

To hear these stories of people taking my advice and building their own wealth, to provide for their family and to escape debt. It really validates the reason I am still here.

I’m sorry to hijack Steven’s post. And it might be that we have another baby due any day now (and I’m reflecting a lot on life)

But it was on my heart and I wanted to share.

Introducing InfiniteDiffusion, my independent paper accepted to #SIGGRAPH2026!

I have one RTX 3090 Ti. No funding, advisors, or team. By day I'm a new grad SWE at Walmart.

The paper has two main contributions:
- InfiniteDiffusion: a new approach to infinite generation with diffusion models.
- Terrain Diffusion: the world’s first learned procedural terrain generator.

Here’s why this matters, and how they are connected. 🧵

@voidmode @threejs How does a game like this in ThreeJS perform? What kinda computer are you running it on?

This is the most important account on X. Well worth a follow.

Everyone should be part of a book club. This is a wonderful group of people to study with.
