this is actually insane
> be tech guy in australia
> adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live
> not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4
> pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA
> feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold
> zero background in biology
> identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets
> design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch
> genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own
> need ethics approval to administer it
> red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine
> 3 months, finally approved
> drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection
> tumor halves
> coat gets glossy again
> dog is alive and happy
> professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?”
one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline.
we are going to cure so many diseases.
I dont think people realize how good things are going to get
This only alienates the Iranian people who have until now been supportive of targeted intervention to bring down the regime and allow them to self-determine
It also plays into the regime’s narrative that its fall will destroy Iran.
Iran’s territorial integrity is nonnegotiable.
یک نمایندهی مجلس از حکومت کانادا خواسته شاهزاده رضا پهلوی را به عنوان رهبر دوران گذار به رسمیت بشناسد.
اگر کانادایی هستید یا اقامت کانادا را دارید امضا کنید. دوستان و همکاران کاناداییتان را هم تشویق کنید امضا کنند.
کمتر از دو هفته فرصت دارید.

The greatest countervailing force against the Islamic Republic is pluralistic Iranian nationalism. Reports that the US may fund or arm Kurdish factions inside Iran will alarm many Iranians—and undermine the regime’s opposition. My interview w/ @OutFrontCNN https://t.co/TZ8ufOIGTM
It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as usual" way, but specifically this last December. There are a number of asterisks but imo coding agents basically didn’t work before December and basically work since - the models have significantly higher quality, long-term coherence and tenacity and they can power through large and long tasks, well past enough that it is extremely disruptive to the default programming workflow.
Just to give an example, over the weekend I was building a local video analysis dashboard for the cameras of my home so I wrote: “Here is the local IP and username/password of my DGX Spark. Log in, set up ssh keys, set up vLLM, download and bench Qwen3-VL, set up a server endpoint to inference videos, a basic web ui dashboard, test everything, set it up with systemd, record memory notes for yourself and write up a markdown report for me”. The agent went off for ~30 minutes, ran into multiple issues, researched solutions online, resolved them one by one, wrote the code, tested it, debugged it, set up the services, and came back with the report and it was just done. I didn’t touch anything. All of this could easily have been a weekend project just 3 months ago but today it’s something you kick off and forget about for 30 minutes.
As a result, programming is becoming unrecognizable. You’re not typing computer code into an editor like the way things were since computers were invented, that era is over. You're spinning up AI agents, giving them tasks *in English* and managing and reviewing their work in parallel. The biggest prize is in figuring out how you can keep ascending the layers of abstraction to set up long-running orchestrator Claws with all of the right tools, memory and instructions that productively manage multiple parallel Code instances for you. The leverage achievable via top tier "agentic engineering" feels very high right now.
It’s not perfect, it needs high-level direction, judgement, taste, oversight, iteration and hints and ideas. It works a lot better in some scenarios than others (e.g. especially for tasks that are well-specified and where you can verify/test functionality). The key is to build intuition to decompose the task just right to hand off the parts that work and help out around the edges. But imo, this is nowhere near "business as usual" time in software.
New videos from Iran show that the security forces didn’t just murder anti-regime protesters with live fire but also by running them over with vehicles.
The video is from the city of Ardabil
I don’t know what’s wrong with the world. It let’s atrocities to happens and remains silent. Years later and for decades, it talks about it like it’s a biblical story.
There is a massacre in Iran.
Act now; read the news; share them. Reach out to politicians and make them responsible.
#Holocaust
Newly released footage from the anti-regime protests in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Thursday, January 8, show security forces opening fire on crowds of protesters with live-ammunition, in a massacre which is alleged by sources on the ground to have been carried out by members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
@YourAnonOne Isn’t one North Korea more than enough?
History repeats itself if we don’t act now.
Please support people of Iran against injustice and insanity. Sign this petition now.

#IranRevolution2026#FreeIran
🗓️ Exactly one week ago to the hour, #Iran fell into digital darkness as authorities imposed a national internet blackout.
Through the following days Iranians continued to protest and demand liberty despite a draconian crackdown.
At 168 hours, data show the shutdown is ongoing.
