Anglo-American. I build things. Work with tech infrastructure, code, and machine learning.

@ManagerTactical They had no end product. Were gifted a penalty then continued to be useless despite their dominance. They got what they deserved.

FOX #worldcup studio team: Zlatan, Henry, Alexi Lalas.

The egos in that room.

Was Kanye not available?

@Rich_Cooper @White_Amercan @GrokWhat It means he shouldn't have been released all those other times.

[Christopher Hayles @chrishayles]

@curtis_yarvin Maybe @grok should choose.

@bcherny Seems fair. If you want to treat it like an API then pay for the API.

@bcherny @itsolelehmann Sounds like I'd wake up to no tokens remaining. Everyday. Forever.

@jross7878 @heygurisingh 😄 Spectacular.

[Christopher Hayles @chrishayles]

Is there a word for that sudden rush of anxiety when you see Claude burning tokens on something irrelevant to the task?

@ryanels Seems appropriate.

@thehealthb0t I'm not doubting the claim, but the nhs link says nothing about shingles.

@PNWConservative Don't even joke.

@bissuusingh And then the robots come shortly after that.

@bcherny Claude Code request: I don't want my remote MCPs to sync across devices all the time. I want to have the same MCP logged into different accounts on different machines or otherwise be able to specify the context of the authentication.

ie. Atlassian at home vs. Atlassian at work. Different context, different accounts, different projects.

Watched a handful of Bodo/Glimt games now. Hauge is so quietly and reliably, excellent. I'm a fan.

Ultra-Wide monitors are a scam.

After owning several over the years, and switching back to one "nice" wide screen and and vertical mounted monitor on the side I have realized that this is actually peak

@gailcweiner Can confirm Claude Code is 100% written by Claude Code

In 2025 I repeatedly said that no one is really losing their jobs to AI. When it's implied, it's usually a lie covering for something else.

The same is not true in 2026. Models have improved just enough to cross that threshold. Tooling around them is actually usable.

Peter Thiel just told Silicon Valley it’s automating away its own cognitive moat.

Nobody there is paying attention.

Thiel: “It is striking to me how bad Silicon Valley is at talking about these sorts of things.”

The industry is either arguing over 20% improvements in the next transformer model or jumping straight to simulation theory.

They’re missing the massive real-world shift happening right in the middle.

Thiel: “My intuition would be it’s going to be quite the opposite, where it seems much worse for the math people than the word people.”

For decades, Silicon Valley worshipped quantitative intelligence. Math and coding were the ultimate safety nets.

Thiel: “Within three to five years, the AI models will be able to solve all the US Math Olympiad problems.”

Once a machine instantly solves the hardest math problems on earth, the economic value of being a human calculator doesn’t just decline.

It disappears.

And the historical irony is brutal.

The societal bias toward math over verbal ability started during the French Revolution. Not because math was more valuable. Because verbal ability ran in aristocratic families, and math was elevated as the great equalizer to break nepotism.

A 200-year-old political accident became the foundation of Silicon Valley’s entire hiring philosophy.

AI is about to snap it back.

The people who built the models that can now outperform them mathematically spent their careers optimizing for the wrong skill.

The future belongs to the word people.

The engineers didn’t see it coming because they were too busy calculating.
