Thrilled to be part of a team that's undertaking the restoration of 100M mangroves across hundreds of miles of coastline. Our technology holds the promise of sequestering enormous amounts of blue carbon, restoring ecosystems, and monitoring at scale.

[Dendra Systems @DendraSystems]

Excited to be working with the @EADTweets in partnership with @Adq_Official as part of the Abu Dhabi Mangrove Initiative. Using our tech-led approach to support the UAE’s plan to restore 100 million mangroves by 2030.

They can really only be reliably studied from space, some create massive orbs of lights called elves in the upper atmosphere. One of the stranger earth phenomenas.

The difference between Opus 4.7 to ChatGPT 4.5 Pro for analysis is so jarring. GPT is practically unusable, it spits out long reams of slop.

[Ricardo Decal @bae_theorem]

@_sholtodouglas For front-end development, it does a bad job of analyzing screenshots. It'll say that it has matched a target screenshot pixel-for-pixel when actually the UI has all kinds of problems.

Asked Claude:

'There's a meme called the "fix everything easily switch". What policies do you think are the best candidates for being a real fix everything switch in the US? Give me your top ten, your confidence, your reasoning, and why a given policy has not been implemented.'

I will be turning 40 years old when Trump finishes his second term. At that point, I will have lived 20 of those years under presidents less mentally capable than Claude Opus 4.6 (W, Joe, Trump)

[Ricardo Decal @bae_theorem]

@cube_flipper This was a great exercise, thanks for suggesting.

Parameter decomposition has just started working on LLMs. SAEcels in absolute shambles.

A glimpse of UIs in the future. Programs that mould themselves to you rather than the other way around

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.

@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

Honestly bringing your own lighting is such a clever solution to getting robot policies to work in every home

Google deployed dark patterns on Android. It's now impossible for me to install custom APKs like F-Droid.

1) in order to install, I must disable *all* Advanced Protection features, including finding my list phone, blocking spam, blocking malicious JavaScript. Crazy

[Ricardo Decal @bae_theorem]

2) even after disabling all Advanced Protection, I still can't disable Google Play protect. Which blocks me from installing APKs.

There's a reason why I chose Linux and Android over iOS. But Google decided to follow in Apple's footsteps.
