Just made my first #pico8 game! Starting from no Lua and no PICO-8 knowledge, this little game took just over 5 hours, created entirely inside the PICO-8.

@tallsnail oh my god they’re LLMs

Excited to share today what we have been quietly working on at Gimlet!

We started Gimlet to improve the efficiency of AI workloads, which has only grown more relevant as demand for tokens has exploded.

The core technology is awesome. I'm thrilled to be a part of it. More below!

@CuriosMuseum have you not heard of the humble clownfish?

Can AI autogenerate fast, low-level kernels from PyTorch code?

We tried it on Apple devices, and the generated Metal kernels delivered ~87% speedups across 215 modules!

@slimepriestess Good thread. Two counterpoints: YIMBY movement, some factory farming and animal welfare successes. Both funded as political projects and varying degrees of fairly successful.

@eigenrobot A World Undone if you haven’t already done a lot of WWI reading. I used to think of WWI as “WWII, but earlier” but it’s a different beast and I learned a ton of things that really surprised me. No one knew how to fight a modern war!

@_m_b_j_ I don’t think ruby really values POLS that much! I don’t think ruby is a good way to judge the principle.

[Daniel Gollahon @danielgollahon]

@_m_b_j_ POLS as I interpret it is usually: SRP + Strict/Narrow APIs

[Daniel Gollahon @danielgollahon]

@_m_b_j_ I think you are using POLS in a way most engineers I know do not use it. I think it argues very strongly against those APIs and Date.parse is actually the #1 way I explain POLS since it has such surprising (== wrong) behavior! Magical behavior is surprising.

@rsnous omar, no! 😬

[Daniel Gollahon @danielgollahon]

@rsnous D. none of the above. Needs some kind of range object/syntax, possibly supporting relative offsets.

@tomstafford I really like Linear. Depends on your team/use case re: complexity but it's the best issue tracker I've used for software projects.

Notion is good for notes and misc. uses but I wouldn't use it as my main project management. Anything *can* work ofc.

Not a huge Asana fan.

@simonw csvkit (suite of CLI tools: https://t.co/Jm0xcsQVek), often starting with csvstat

for anything more involved i write a ruby script using the standard library csv gem.

@hillelogram I once wrote a slack integration which added a /boo command which would post booing gifs for my coworker who liked to post booing gifs, mostly directed at me. 😆
