If you continue to support Trump, I’ll at least give you this:

I admire your enduring support for corruption and incompetence.

After 7 months without speaking to their father, Former PM Imran Khan’s sons have made an urgent appeal to world leaders.

@Kasim_Khan_1999 describes the toll of solitary confinement in Adiala Jail, citing dangerous blood pressure spikes & heart palpitations.

In a resurfaced video, former President Bill Clinton praised Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during his 2007 commencement speech at the University of Michigan.

People of Florida. Y’all better hold your damn head high. We broke state legislature super majorities because we drove turnout while everyone wrote us off.

We have work to do sure, but let’s celebrate the fact we won 17 seats down ballot.

I’m an organizer. And I look forward to getting back to what I love and know best. Organizing THE HELL out of my state.

Let’s get to work!

18 years ago in 2008, Imran Khan had a vision & now it’s becoming a reality.

Congrats Abdul El Seyed, Keep making us all proud, sending best wishes & prayers from 🇵🇰👏.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan. 

Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.

Today was a good day for democracy.

In 1994, software was dead. People told me programming was for nerds and that I should become a doctor or a lawyer instead.

In 2004, software was dead. People told me that someone from India would take my job for $5/hour.

In 2014, software was dead. People told me that no-code was going to kill every job and doom my career.

In 2024, software was dead with Devin, Windsurf, Copilot, and OpenAI o1.

We kill software every 10 years, and yet the demand for good Software Engineers has never been higher.

@elonmusk I was approached by a certain AnnieLee, the purported founder for Sansheng USA. She claimed that you are also a partner in this startup.
Can you confirm please. Otherwise Inwill limp it with Pig butchering

#FarhanMalik #JawaidAbdulGhani #RaftarOodcast great podcast Farhan Sb. Probably watch first half as yet. My two cents is that we are letting the hype machines scare us through FUD. n supervised learning is not a new thing and LLMs use it to great affect. Much like from slideruker to calculators to more recent autocorrect. Our next gen is quite smart no fear no depression. We will help and they will outperform us. Using the latest tech. It is the #techfudalism that we must defeat. The rest is all good.

Money out of politics.
Money in your pocket.

Michigan...

We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

[Haseeb Toor @haseebutoor]

So true. We abstracted SE to. A layer higher than previous one. We have been at it since assembler to C , at the very least.

AGI and certainly ASI can wait.

Or maybe LLMs with agent wrappers and specs blot etc. have hit a wall. We may need another disruptive/paradigm shift.

Just saying

The copy for Where Latitudes Meet just came in the mail.

@rawanee did a wonderful job bringing together poets writing across Urdu, English, Arabic, and Turkish into one space. It’s rare to see a multi-lingual anthology put together with this much care.

Glad to have کس طرف included among these voices.

@Taniyatweets_ Depends on what the dev’s track stack and typical use case.

[Haseeb Toor @haseebutoor]

@unclebobmartin At some level we need to ensure that the code is still readable/explainable to humans. Afterall if the code fails in production , is crappy and unpredictable, we won’t fire agents,

I keep telling engineers . Agents can write and test code etc. you are accountable.

[Haseeb Toor @haseebutoor]

@justbyte_ Using Zed and Cursor.

[Haseeb Toor @haseebutoor]

@unclebobmartin @shub0414 So what about codex vs clause code ?
And what about local/opensource models?

[Haseeb Toor @haseebutoor]

@unclebobmartin Just started perusing through the repo. As expected, simple and impressive. Wonder how it scales.

[Haseeb Toor @haseebutoor]

@OpenAI @grok is this not a monopoly in the making?
