Feeling anxious about becoming obsolete?
1. Pick a complex enough topic that will need (atleast) human supervision in the foreseeable future
2. Keep learning and digging deeper until you feel confident you’re consistently reasoning better than state-of-the-art AI
3. Repeat

@avrldotdev Great project. Just curious if you are handling distributed logs, pending requests from a crashed leader node

This was HEARTBREAKING

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:

"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."

Matthew McConaughey reveals sleep was a sin in his household

“Hustle, hustle, hustle. Sleep was sin in my household”

“If it was daylight, you couldn't be inside. 30 minutes of TV a night max”

“Mom would always say, ‘Why are you going to watch someone doing something when you can go out in the world and do it yourself? Turn that damn thing off. Get outside’”

“You had to be outside. Like, go get out in the world. Go hustle. Figure it out. Be home at dark. That was just the understood rule”

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.

When Tech meets Table 🤝😂

[Ryan Fleury @rfleury]

The first way people usually learn code compression is by pulling common things out into helper functions, but in my view the complexity of adding a new entry point is often overlooked, and things quickly turn into a mess.

It’s a useful exercise to try compressing code without helper functions, and instead merging similar work by using loops, tables, and reordering. In my experience this leads to dramatically simpler architecture, and it’s a lot easier to keep the whole picture in your head.

I am completely convinced that people's adoration for one model over another is purely based on a good experience they had in the past and on nothing objective.

just some problem was solved well enough for them, therefore its the best

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

Winning your first league title (your first Premier League) after 44 years of hurt. The pain, the agony, the wait.

As Manchester City fans, we've been through so many moments, but this one... this one was different.

Agüero, you absolute genius. 🩵

Both Asmongold and Hasan finished their streams around the same time, but they ended with two very different messages.

I thought it was worth sharing so you can see the contrast.

@mitchellh @evangoldschmidt Everyone is glossing over the fact that it’s done by YOU. not just anyone. I cannot even come up with a simple renderer like you to begin with unless I have some experience building it. The starting point is what gave you that result imo.

[Humanoid @HumanoidBits]

The truth is nobody knows which model is overall best. They are competitive. They grow an emotional attachment to these models and so prefer one to the other. Nobody is using Chinese models yet. It’s not because they are worse but they simply aren’t using them.

[Ben Tossell @bentossell]

wait…

if most people think 5.5 is better than 4.7, i assume that’s due to terminal coding benchmark…

4.8 is still outperformed by 5.5

Not a hot-take in the tech industry: getting into big tech as a fresher used to be generally easier than a getting a placement at a startup.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

I've got an agent in a loop optimizing a renderer with the goal to minimize frame times (and tests to measure). It got times down from 88ms to 2ms and allocations down from ~150K to 500. Sounds good, right? Wrong. This is exactly why agent psychosis is a big fucking problem.

As an experiment, I rewrote the Ghostty core render state in Go, with access to identically laid out data structures as Ghostty and the exact same validation tests. I made a purposely naive renderer (simple, correct, but slow). 88ms per frame with 150,000 allocations (horrendous, lol)!

I then kickstarted a Ralph loop to bring the frame times down. I told it it can't modify input data structures or the public API or tests (they're correct), but it can do anything else it wants. It got to work.

It has worked for about 4 hours. I've spent around $350 on this experiment so far. The results?

88ms => 1.5ms
150K allocs => ~500 allocs

Incredible right? Nope.

My hand-written renderer I ported has frame times (same benchmark) of ~20us (0.020ms) and 0 allocations in the update path.

This is the problem with psychosis and lacking systems understanding. If you don't understand the system, you're going to accept that this is an incredible result. If you understand the system, you'll see better solutions immediately and can do roughly 75x better on throughput.

The people who blindly trust agent output are in the former camp. They're sheeple, overdrinking from a fountain of mediocrity.

Standard disclaimer: I use AI all the time. I like AI. The point I'm making is to not blindly accept results. Think. Analyze. Learn.

Before I joined the club, Pep was already an inspiration for me. To become his player and after 9 years end up being the one with most games played under him is truly an honour. He arrived at Man City, and the Premier League couldn’t be dominated playing his way… Well, they were wrong. Not only he dominated, he changed the game in England as he did in other countries before. The hunger and ambition to want more and more even after winning and winning again was a big inspiration. For me personally, he was and will always be my father of football. A lot of the things that many managers in the past thought were weaknesses of my game, he saw it as strengths and understood me from day one. On a personal level, the kindness, trust and respect that we had for each other makes me the proudest and goes beyond football. I couldn’t be more grateful for what he did for me and my family. Thank you for all the memories and experiences to the greatest manager ever Pep Guardiola! 😄

This is how I feel about basketball. Someone who plays it for a career can’t shoot from 30 yards? Unbelievable!
