@BLouu Imagine having a potential talent pool that’s 107x larger than your opponent and being worried…

4500 deploys/day is an odd flex especially when the sentiment around the app online appears to be so negative. Genuinely can’t fathom what needs thousands of PRs shipped every single day lmao

Boris sat down with Spotify VP of Engineering Niklas Gustavsson.

Spotify ships 4,500 production deploys a day, and 73% of PRs are now AI-assisted.

My dad thinks Canada is the best country in the world. But otherwise, I’ve heard many Canadians express the same sentiment, perhaps less audaciously than our southern neighbors. Maybe times be changing that, though. A man yelled at me for rocking a Team Canada futbol jersey this Sunday, insisting Canada would win its game because Canada’s the best country in the world, and he was adamant so there’s that…

🚨ANTHROPIC CEO: OPEN SOURCE AI IS GETTING DANGEROUS

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told lawmakers that open-source AI is moving down a “very dangerous path.”

His warns that once powerful models are released openly, companies lose the ability to monitor misuse, revoke access, or update safety guardrails.

It’s crazy to think about the last 10 years where I was handed human slop or got anointed to shoulder some legacy system… would’ve killed for AI refactorbation back when… the pain of having to migrate or spin up someone else’s abandoned hopes and dreams… Some of those migrations / refactors still haunt me… so convenient

@KevinNaughtonJr I’m sure accumulated experience is a significant factor in making things easier

Opus is pure token burn. Having to select models per task is annoying, just poor product design, and it’s intrusive af to productivity. Human nature always pulls towards the best and brightest. Out of tokens again nothing accomplished.

sorry, i'm absolutely swamped today

using gpt 5.5 instead of opus today so far not as frustrated as I normally am by this hour

opus 4.8 is chopped unc, fable is remaining true to its name ... fictitious ... and anthropic is still trolling by constantly reminding us its disabled

I grew up in Quebec less than 25 miles from NY/Vermont border. I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday and I literally joined the CAF because of it. Never got deployed but some of my good friends from my unit saw combat in Afghanistan. We all felt like it was an attack against our own and the call of duty...sad state of affairs now, the relationship between the two countries seems unrecognizable.

[Ben Dreyfuss @bendreyfuss]

I don’t like that Trump has picked fights with the Canadians. Canada is our buddy. If someone did 9/11 to Canada I would feel strongly that it would be “go time” regardless what the UN Security Council thought. I would demand America kill everyone remotely related to the attack

Thinking about testing out cohere and its mini north coding model, any tips/harnesses/winning setups? Who’s had success wit it?
