@pvncher @Dimillian @OpenAI @romainhuet @RepoPrompt congrats!

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

@Dimillian I’ve used codex with an api key for our setup at work. would be great to be able to connect to codex desktop that’s logged in with an api key

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

absolutely incredible

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

We’ve come a long way

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

@pvncher @RepoPrompt love it, and love what you're building. thanks!

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

love the workspace tabs - that's helpful, thanks! had too many windows a few times😅

re:
> Yesterdays release made this more explicit it in the /rp- prompts I ship, so the model will handle this automatically for you.

so if I add one new workspace that is `~/.codex/worktrees/`, when i run an /rp-... prompt from codex desktop, it should be able to sort our which subfolder I'm in under `~/.codex/worktrees/` and drive it's context building and file selection out of that subfolder?

Jetson raises $50-million as Stephen Lake’s home heating disruptor expands across U.S. https://t.co/RNNHUlX9NM

The math on this image is insane.

New Horizons transmitted at 2,000 bits per second from 3 billion miles away. Slower than a 1990s dial-up modem. It took 16 months to download all the flyby data.

The spacecraft had to hit a target box 100km wide, arriving within 150 seconds of schedule, after 9 years of flight. Miss it and the preloaded observation commands point at empty space.

Ten days before arrival, the spacecraft crashed and went into safe mode. Engineers had 72 hours to restore everything.

The probe is now 5 billion miles out, still whispering data back to Earth. We got 50 gigabits of Pluto photos using technology slower than your phone’s bluetooth.

@kylebrussell happy gpu melting 🤘

Consider the Sony Walkman of 1982, deconstructed.

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

Incredible that our best telescopes can now see planets forming around other, Sun-like stars. Galileo would be delighted.

@sama in the great green room

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

@jack now let’s get @bryan_johnson in here

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

@gfodor yeah fair.

I appreciated how the 2027 post expressed the rate of changes, but the details on even a medium term feel pretty murky.

guess that’s the singularity for ya

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

it's looking more and more likely we'll soon have extremely capable models able to handle long-running, valuable work—bottlenecked by infra, limiting their real-world impact.

great read on the coming capabilities overhang

Glimpses of AI Progress

A long-awaited new blog post about AI capabilities development, with some hard-won mental models for how to think about AI agents

This is the first of two posts, the second covering the economic and political implications

takeaways below:

boom speeds without the boom

🤯

[Blake Scholl 🛫 @bscholl]

Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom.

We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇

[Brett Madill @brettmadill]

o3 looks like a significant step up on the curve to agi. is it actually unironically over?

[Deedy @deedydas]

OpenAI o3 is 2727 on Codeforces which is equivalent to the #175 best human competitive coder on the planet.

This is an absolutely superhuman result for AI and technology at large.
