🚨JUST IN: Trump just wrapped a massive G7 Summit and boarded Air Force One back to the White House!
47 has slept just 6 hours in 3 days and is still razor sharp.
Incredible stamina! 🔥
Safe flight, Mr. President!🛫
Get some rest, you have EARNED IT!
2 months ago I said I'd debate @BrettFromDJ to the death ☠️
thankfully this episode isn't that lol
it's the story of how a visual designer became addicted to building his ideas with AI (and everything he's learned along the journey)👇
Messing around with Gemma locally. Building a personal memory vault so every time I open LM Studio, no matter what model I use, it actually remembers me and my stuff. Feels like I'm using Grok but completely offline and private.
#LearnToCode 😂
A German robotics company just raised $1.4 billion to build humanoid robots that hold their own crypto wallets.
Tether led it. Nvidia, Amazon and Bosch came in too. Each robot gets a self-custodial wallet and earns micropayments per task.
No bank accounts. Just private keys.
America’s digital economy relies on our physical infrastructure and the electricians, pipefitters, welders, manufacturing workers & more who build and maintain it.
Today, we’re making an additional @googleorg commitment to help 300K American workers prepare for these in-demand skilled trades careers, expanding on the $1B we’ve already provided for digital skills and training globally.
@tunguz the year is 2027:

A teenager in the United States started publishing software at 14 in 1998, built the entire online infrastructure for the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011, joined Google as a software engineer, quit in 2018, and then spent five years writing a C library that does something the entire industry said was impossible.
Then she combined it with llama.cpp and shipped the easiest way on the planet to run a large language model on any computer.
Her name is Justine Tunney.
Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the low level systems world knows what one engineer has built.
Justine was born in 1984. She started writing and publishing software at 14, back when distribution meant uploading binaries to BBS systems and chat networks. She picked up the handle jart, which she still uses on GitHub today. She did the work most teenagers her age were not doing. She read the systems programming literature. She studied compilers. She fell in love with C.
In July 2011 she registered the @occupywallst Twitter handle and the occupywallst dot org domain. Within weeks the protest movement that began in Zuccotti Park in New York had become a global phenomenon, and her infrastructure was the digital backbone of the entire thing. She handled the social media, the website, the donations, the coordination. She built the platform that pushed the movement to reach millions.
After Occupy she joined Google as a software engineer. She worked on TensorBoard, the visualization tool for TensorFlow, and on site reliability for Google infrastructure. She stayed for years. Then in 2018 she left Google Brain to work on a personal project.
The project was called Cosmopolitan Libc.
Cosmopolitan does something most C programmers would tell you is mathematically impossible. It lets you compile a C program once and have the resulting binary run natively on Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD with no modification. One file. Six operating systems. No virtual machines. No interpreters. No recompilation. The technique she invented is called Actually Portable Executable.
The implications are wild. Cosmopolitan binaries violate every assumption about how operating systems load programs. They are at once a Windows PE file, a Linux ELF binary, a macOS Mach-O binary, and a shell script. The same bytes run on every platform.
For five years she worked on it mostly alone. She funded the development partly through Mozilla's MIECO program, which sponsored her work on Cosmopolitan 3.0, released on October 31, 2023.
A month later she shipped llamafile.
llamafile is what happens when you combine Cosmopolitan with llama.cpp. You take any LLM weights file in the standard GGUF format, you wrap it in Justine's binary, and you get a single file that runs on six operating systems without installation. No Python. No CUDA setup. No dependency hell. Just one file that you double click and it works.
Mozilla launched it as an official project of their innovation group on November 29, 2023. It went viral immediately. The repository, hosted at github .com/mozilla-ai/llamafile, now has 24,600 stars. The license is Apache 2.0.
Justine kept shipping. She added GPU support to Cosmopolitan, a task systems engineers thought would require rewriting the whole thing. She added dlopen support, another thing nobody else had figured out. She wrote whisperfile, a single file version of OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text model based on the same architecture.
Her GitHub profile lists projects most engineers would consider impossible. sectorlisp, a Lisp interpreter that fits in a boot sector. blink, the tiniest x86-64-linux emulator on Earth. bestline, a teletypewriter command session library. redbean, a complete web server inside a single zip file.
A teenager who shipped software in 1998 grew up to write the C library that the entire local AI movement now runs on top of.
She did most of it alone, and most people scrolling AI Twitter cannot name her.
People slamming the new Ocarina of Time remake’s art direction are repeating the same mistake.
The trailer hit and the complaints started straight away.
Too realistic.
Looks like some generic Unreal Engine fan project.
Not real Zelda.
This is the exact same energy as the Wind Waker reveal.
Everyone swore the bright cartoon style killed the series. They demanded Nintendo make a more realistic looking game. Now it’s called one of the best visual decisions Nintendo ever made.
The original Ocarina pushed hard on N64 hardware to feel heavy and epic.
This remake is doing the same job for Switch 2.
More detail. Better lighting. A Hyrule that actually feels ancient and alive on a modern screen.
Star Fox has taken plenty of these swings too. Different art directions and tones across the series. The ones that landed had real ambition instead of safe updates.
We are not in 1998.
New hardware. New players who didn’t grow up with the original polygons.
Clinging to the exact 1998 look or demanding it copy Breath of the Wild’s style misses the whole point of a remake.
Nintendo’s biggest wins have always come from backing their own creative calls.
Even when the loudest voices lose their minds at the first trailer.
Mario 64 did it.
Ocarina itself did it.
Wind Waker did it.
This is the same move.
The safe option would be another clean HD port that plays it cool and offends nobody.
Nobody needs that.
Nintendo treating Ocarina like the landmark it is and giving it visuals built for right now.
Am I wrong here? Or are we just mad it doesn’t look exactly like the version in our heads?
