@itsmeMehak_ idk i feel like i have a trillion ideas and keep getting inspired each day. but it takes a lot of time and effort to make them into quality products
Je ne veux plus fréquenter les gens qui disent « À quoi ça sert ? ».
J’ai 50 piges sur mon passeport, 12 ans dans ma tête (et 18 ans dans mon slip, dirait ma femme).
Et je compte bien que ça dure.
Je ne supporte plus les pisse-vinaigre professionnels du scepticisme.
À quoi ça servait de vouloir voler ? De traverser les océans ? De marcher sur la Lune ?
À rien. Jusqu’au jour où quelqu’un l’a fait.
J’ai toujours eu une tendresse infinie pour les originaux. Les inadaptés. Les rebelles. Les emmerdeurs. Ceux qui ne rentrent pas dans les cases.
Ceux qui ont des idées absurdes, des ambitions démesurées, des projets improbables.
Parce que ce sont eux qui font avancer le monde.
Pas les gestionnaires du déclin.
Les gens suffisamment fous pour croire qu’ils peuvent changer le monde sont précisément ceux qui finissent par le changer.
Et ce qui me terrifie aujourd’hui c’est l’état d’esprit que nous transmettons à nos enfants.
On les élève dans une atmosphère de fin du monde permanente. Entre malthusianisme, injonctions à la décroissance, culpabilité écologique et anxiété organisée.
Quelle terrible inversion des valeurs !
L’écologie devrait être un formidable défi lancé à l’intelligence humaine, pas une pédagogie de la résignation.
Je ne veux pas d’une génération qui s’excuse d’exister au point de ne plus faire d’enfants
Je veux une génération qui brûle d’envie de découvrir, de créer, de baiser, de comprendre !
l’optimisme n’est pas de la naïveté mais le courage de croire en notre capacité à tout affronter.
Le progrès n’est pas une fatalité mais une conquête.
C’est mon ode aux rêveurs, aux inventeurs, aux enthousiastes, aux insoumis, aux doux dingues et aux emmerdeurs magnifiques.
À tous ceux qui disent « t’es cap ? » plutôt que « À quoi ça sert ? ».
J’ai 50 ans, et je refuse de devenir vieux dans ma tête.
Aux fous qui veulent changer le monde !
was burnt out from a busy week working on studio projects. i opened Enshrouded from @KeenGamesStudio and after playing my second short session for less than 30 minutes my brain is buzzing with creative ideas.
the game is a masterpiece and I'm so glad I waited until launch to play it!!
while noting my thoughts i afked sitting on top of a bastion of safety from the fog in the form of a piece of hilly terrain jutting from a shroud-consumed area.
I love the emergent gameplay design that comes from the player thinking slightly outside the box.
You are told: the shroud is dangerous, beware, you can only bare to survive for 5 minutes within it.
That feels like an intensely punishing game mechanic out of the gate.
But then there is an epiphany the player can have (or likely in the form of a tip spoiling the fun) that with their power to carve and influence the environment around them, they can *change* how scary and punishing the fog mechanic is!! through simply the gameplay of terraforming the land around it to create escape routes, new entrances, or just small pockets to breathe.
its almost like the 'underwater breath' mechanic that has been a part of many classic games, one that is often lamented by players, but remains as, in some cases like the early Sonic games, *the* core memory that players have of the game and the fun they had with it.
this is also an excellent balancing knob for the creators, who can craft the introductory areas with this in mind, and endgame areas with underground foggy dungeons, featuring little to no way to escape through the terrain.
friday design thoughts :3 now back to playing
interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had
with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works

this is pure f*cking treasure
A Stanford AI research group found how to orchestrate Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol together, and it completely breaks the search scaffolding wall
most developers try to combine frontier models by chaining prompts in one context window or hardcoding rigid evolutionary loops. you burn tokens on context bloat and freeze models into fixed search rules that out-date themselves within 5 iterations
Stanford's architecture eliminates human-designed search scaffolding and splits the cognitive stack:
> search director: Claude Opus 5.5 plans the search, querying a persistent idea-graph where MAP-Elites and MCTS reduce to single Cypher queries
> candidate proposer: GPT-6.1 Sol explores high-entropy code variations inside isolated execution sandboxes
> zero context bleeding: sessions reset after each iteration to prevent prompt bloat while the graph stores lineage
> evaluator isolation: candidate code never touches the scoring process, stopping reward hacking and test leakage cold
> meta-agent distillation: an offline meta-pass extracts verified lessons and updates search guidance across branches
the benchmark metrics outclass standard discovery baselines:
> 3.2x lower model spend than fixed evolutionary frameworks
> 1st place rank across 7 competitive AtCoder heuristic contests against human competitors
> beats published SOTA on Anthropic kernel builder and 11 mathematical optimization tasks
> 0% reward hacks: candidate-controlled metric tampering eliminated
Opus directs the search graph. Sol explores the code
you stop writing rigid search harnesses. you let frontier models own the discovery loop
I wrote about the state of AI, why I’m concerned about the next few years, and the choices we need to make to keep the future in humanity’s hands.

i feel like being trans has a high correlation with being a skilled writer. because you have to suddenly describe all of these feelings that are indescribable and many people can't relate to
Fable 5.1 benchmarls are insane.
Ngl, i did not expect such jumps. Terminal-Bench 4.0, Science-Bench, HLE, crazy jumps.
Now its up to OpenAI and Astra to answer that release
This is freaking huge: For the first time, a AI-assisted personalized mRNA cancer treatment has succeeded in a Phase 3 trial.
Moderna and Merck sequence each patient’s tumor and compare it with their healthy DNA. AI then helps identify which of the tumor’s mutations are most likely to trigger an immune response.
From those targets, Moderna produces an individual mRNA treatment encoding up to 34 neoantigens, The earlier Phase 2 trial followed patients with surgically removed high-risk melanoma for five years:
- 68.8% remained cancer-free, compared with 49.1% on Keytruda alone
- 49% lower risk of recurrence or death
- 59% lower risk of distant metastasis or death
Now the much larger Phase 3 trial involving 1,137 patients has also succeeded.
Absolutely incredible. Dario was right: cancer will be cured in just a few years!
gender neutral restrooms. the absolute enby haven. i get feelings of distress from either gendered bathroom and it is not to do with my appearance. #nonbinary
"This is why I don't go outside, it's a lot of drama"
truer words were never spoken 😂 but its always almost universally worth it, it just comes at the price of my brain kicking and fighting not to go
@jiya_3063 its hard to convert large operations at scale, not to mention the fact that for most of the workforce, a switch to a different operating system would be very expensive and also cause an abrupt decline in productivity despite the longterm benefits.
but mac > windows for sure
tldr lil manifesto on the current state of management/hr at companies:
this is not targeted at anyone or any company in specific but i have realized in hindsight that in the past i have been gaslit by managers and coworkers and HR.
i hold no grudges, or even negative opinions at all. managing a group of people (however big) to accomplish a goal is something i've realized to be an EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TASK, basically one of the most difficult professions out there.
i am just going to be an advocate in my career and future leadership, advocating for the human element of work. we all have our own priorities and responsibilities *BOTH* inside and outside of work and i feel there needs to be a closer tying of that relationship in the workplace in general.
managers *need* to know more about the lives of their reports if they expect to coach them to their more productive selves. this of course opens a whole entire social/moral/legal can of worms but that doesn't stop me from picturing a better future for everyone 🥰
had a video script for a youtube short which i went to record but as soon as i started narrating i realized all the issues with it
after rewrite i am now aiming for a under 5 minute video hopefully, but it is hard to escape the urge to add more detaillll lmao
