@oscars_dev Eh?

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@oscars_dev I remember that day

@jshchnz @OpenAI What are you worrying about? What is going to happen?

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@alex_whedon Wow this is massive

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@quxiaoyin Can you explain your set up a little more pls? Sounds interesting!

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@chamath I am trying to solve this with https://t.co/nhp3q42PqE
Would love your thoughts on it

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@karpathy When Kaparthy retweets you know you are onto something! Very nice work

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@SirSimonClarke More important than ever to strengthen our relationship with Europe. Stronger together not alone.

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@balajis This would not be a bad outcome, I could see this working.

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

Can’t wait to try this out!

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@KellyCyuzuzo AI slop!!

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@KathleenWinche3 This is AI slop

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

This is so good

This is such a great use of data to tell a story, 16 mins flys by!

📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea.
Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get?
Our MEGA primer on the North Sea👇
Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right.
Let me know what you think

@AimePatrickIra1 This is AI

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@AlexFinn I am muting you Alex apologies just a bit over the top.

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@signulll That is interesting. All my team were on copilot 1.5 years ago.

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@MichaelDell What an amazing thing to do.

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

@elonmusk Not inevitable and highly unlikely to happen.

[Jack Pickard @_JackPickard]

My take on current state of LLM coding models.
@cline with sonnet 4.5 is unbelievable.
Codex high is thoughtful and very good at BE work, but surprisingly poor at FE.

My general flow is cline + Claude to plan, then ask codex to implement backend and cline + Claude for FE
