23.5 hours later... there's an app and it's open source.

It tracks activities & sleep. It has full sensor support: HR, SpO2, HRV, Temperature, Motion, etc.

I foretold the prophecy
It has come true

The AI token efficiency consultant class is being assembled now.

They are the agile coach of this generation

worst flight of my life on @lufthansa

attendant spills ginger ale on me at takeoff. ok, accidents happen

hours later another attendant spills HOT tea on me. i get burned. clothes, seat, everything soaked

i ask for a dry seat. crew manager arrives 30 min later YELLING at me

i ask for compensation. she finger-points telling me to shut up and that she'll have me DETAINED on landing

i start crying. she takes me to the galley to offer "a solution"

the solution: a 5€ voucher to clean my clothes

i tell her i'm recording. she switches to german to keep yelling and told me that i can't record

i have video. but i'd rather not post me crying with my burnt leg out here

then on my connection flight they charged me for the carry-on that was included and approved on my previous lufthansa flight. that lady was also rude

seems like lufthansa only hires disrespectful people

worst travel experience of my life. honestly not sure what to do

Ternus has a unique chance to reset the relationship between developers and Apple: 1) Tear down the App Store tollbooth, 2) reintroduce Boot Camp for M macs so we can run Linux on them, and 3) fix the infuriating 500ms workspace animation delay. Approval rating +50% instantly.

"post-AGI, no one is going to work and the economy is going to collapse"

"i am switching to polyphasic sleep because GPT-5.5 in codex is so good that i can't afford to be sleeping for such long stretches and miss out on working"

Very cool. We should be leaning harder into bespoke hardware. Keyboards, colors, logos, all of it.

[Pasquale Minervini @PMinervini]

Let me say this clearly: airplanes cannot fly.

Flying is an evolutionary mechanism that first insects and then dinosaurs used to avoid danger etc.

[Seth Howes @SethSHowes]

I’ve wanted to do this for a decade.

But I never did - I refuse to give any company my DNA.

It is me.

So this week I sequenced my genome entirely at home. Literally on my kitchen table.

I never exposed my DNA sequence to the internet. Not at any point.

I used a MinION to do the sequencing (it’s smaller + weighs less than an iPhone).

I used open-source DNA models for the analysis (Evo2 and AlphaGenome) running locally on a DGX Spark and Mac Studio.

I traced mechanisms behind my family’s multigenerational autoimmune conditions that no clinician has been able to understand.

When I set out to do this I didn’t know if it would actually work. It does.

Your genome is the most private data you will ever have. You probably shouldn’t let it leave your house.

Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability.

The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest round of state of the art agentic models of this year, especially OpenAI Codex and Claude Code.

But that brings me to the second issue. Even if people paid $200/month to use the state of the art models, a lot of the capabilities are relatively "peaky" in highly technical areas. Typical queries around search, writing, advice, etc. are *not* the domain that has made the most noticeable and dramatic strides in capability. Partly, this is due to the technical details of reinforcement learning and its use of verifiable rewards. But partly, it's also because these use cases are not sufficiently prioritized by the companies in their hillclimbing because they don't lead to as much $$$ value. The goldmines are elsewhere, and the focus comes along.

So that brings me to the second group of people, who *both* 1) pay for and use the state of the art frontier agentic models (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code) and 2) do so professionally in technical domains like programming, math and research. This group of people is subject to the highest amount of "AI Psychosis" because the recent improvements in these domains as of this year have been nothing short of staggering. When you hand a computer terminal to one of these models, you can now watch them melt programming problems that you'd normally expect to take days/weeks of work. It's this second group of people that assigns a much greater gravity to the capabilities, their slope, and various cyber-related repercussions.

TLDR the people in these two groups are speaking past each other. It really is simultaneously the case that OpenAI's free and I think slightly orphaned (?) "Advanced Voice Mode" will fumble the dumbest questions in your Instagram's reels and *at the same time*, OpenAI's highest-tier and paid Codex model will go off for 1 hour to coherently restructure an entire code base, or find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. This part really works and has made dramatic strides because 2 properties: 1) these domains offer explicit reward functions that are verifiable meaning they are easily amenable to reinforcement learning training (e.g. unit tests passed yes or no, in contrast to writing, which is much harder to explicitly judge), but also 2) they are a lot more valuable in b2b settings, meaning that the biggest fraction of the team is focused on improving them. So here we are.

Tretji politični steber, ki ga sestavljamo trojček NSi, SLS, FOKUS ter Demokrati in Resnica, uresničujemo svojo zavezo - v ospredje postavljamo ključne rešitve, ki jih Slovenija v tem trenutku najbolj potrebuje.

Pripravili smo interventni zakon za razvoj Slovenije in ga poslali vsem parlamentarnim strankam.

V zakonu so prvi ukrepi za prihajajočo krizo (nižji DDV na osnovna živila in del energentov) ter nekatere druge rešitve s področja malega gospodarstva (normiranci, študentski s.p., mikro s.p., zamrznitev zakona o gostinstvu), davkov (razvojna kapica, nižja dohodnina za oddajanje premoženja v najem), zdravstva (odprava omejitev dela zdravnikov), pokojnin (polna pokojnina in polna plača), dolgotrajne oskrbe (ukinitev 1 % prispevka za DO - upokojenci, popoldanski s.p.).

Kar smo napovedali, uresničujemo.

Ko slišite novice o »usklajevanju« plač za 195.000 zaposlenih v javnem sektorju, ne pozabite na temeljni zakon ekonomije: Nič ni zastonj. Vsak evro, ki ga država »podari« svojemu aparatu, je bil najprej nasilno odvzet tistemu, ki ga je dejansko ustvaril na trgu.

We're far past the point where this "visibility" nonsense is offering any net value to anyone. Every performative post like these chip away at any goodwill saved from doing good work. Just ship code people like without the identity stickers! That's the best form of visibility.

[Andraz Bajt @edofic]

@phyrooo read the book (emperors new mind). Then we'll go grab a beer and discuss whose eyes rolled harder

[Andraz Bajt @edofic]

@phyrooo @grok what's your take? Btw you conscious?

[Andraz Bajt @edofic]

@phyrooo I mean what is your definition 😀 otherwise we'll arugue till blue in the face about different things

Is this the work of a towering wit or someone completely lacking a sense of irony?
