1/ AI is about to create more software builders in the next 6 months than the last 50 years combined. Today we announced the biggest move in @MLHacks' 12-year history: we've acquired @ThePracticalDev. https://t.co/LbxvXWlR2Z

i have seen enough proof now that using a coding agent is a deep skill

it's confusing because the people you see heavily using them produce horrible results

but that's because it's a skill! you can get better and the ceiling seems pretty high - this is very exciting to me

Watching the Twitterverse oscillate between which AI models everyone is glazing each week is my favorite new type of entertainment

[👩‍💻 Paige Bailey @DynamicWebPaige]

the biggest bottleneck in tech and science right now isn't a lack of tools, it's a massive capability overhang, and it's the most important thing anyone could be working on right now imho

devs, scientists, roboticists, data analysts, etc. have access to wildly powerful AI toolchains, but most folks are still stuck in 1:1 chat windows instead of wiring up automations

if you want to make an impact right now, bridge this gap: teach people how to actually drive these things, or build the ambient tooling that just does the work in the background without them even having to explicitly ask

we've got to help bring people along and send a ladder back down, not leave them behind ♥️

Welcome to Gemini 3.5 Flash, our most powerful model to date. It pushes the frontier of intelligence, speed, and cost putting 3.5 Flash in a class of its own.

We spent the last 6 months making sure Flash is great for real world use cases. It's available everywhere now!

That is an UNBELIEVABLE WIN for the Mets. Wow.

Benge 2 walks offs in the same week. Mets take 2 of 3 from the Yankees.

5 comeback wins this week. 5-1 homestand.

Mets are now 6 games under .500 with 4 games ahead against the Nats.

If this week doesn't get them turning the season around...idk what will. #LGM

[Mike Janela @MikeJanela]

Mets are now 4-0 on Bark at the Park nights this season

One man’s trash is an AI’s treasure! 🗑️✨

StreetSweep AI uses public traffic cams and the Gemini API to detect urban litter and rank it by severity. It’s a smart-city dashboard designed to help officials clean up our streets more efficiently.

This makes me sick and want to move my kids out of SF.

Not because it’s too expensive. But because tech striver culture is so warped, I worry it’s unhealthy for them to be around.

By any objective measure this is not “broke,” not even in SF (ELEVEN MILLION PRE TAX!!!! 3M house! Chunky nest egg! An email job that lets you pay for private school AND a f/t nanny!) This is not a “996 and camping” lifestyle. This is a “we’re taking the kids to Japan for 2 weeks with the au pair” lifestyle.

It’s not the expense that keeps people trapped, it’s the mindset.

There will always be someone with more. The only way you can be truly poor is being unable to see your blessings for what they are and let someone else decide what is and isn’t “enough.”

Slouching at your desk? Tachigurasu is here to judge you. 👾

Built by Jieruei Chang and Alexander Liang, this 3D-printed companion uses ML models to monitor posture. Slouch too long and it dies.

Guilt-driven ergonomics at its finest!

Has anyone else consciously made their own writing (emails, etc) slightly worse, to communicate that it's written by a human rather than AI?

Meet Project Dristi: A $1000 smart cane reimagined for under $100!

Built by a talented hackathon team, it uses Raspberry Pi & ultrasonic sensors for haptic obstacle detection, plus an app with voice assistance and live GPS tracking.

Posting like this while defunding the forest and national park service is such bullshit, man

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Exactly.

AI is an amazing tool for those already experts in a domain and makes a massive difference already.

It also gives a false sense of confidence when you nothing about a domain - and v easy to get stuck

I have a theory that if you were a teenager between 1998 and 2004, you accidentally became insanely high-agency. 

There were no streaming services. No $9.99 Spotify or Disney+ to get what you want. If you wanted entertainment, you had to become a cyber criminal. 

Do you know how complicated it was to just get access to music, movies and porn? Every day after school I was bootlegging Dane Cook comedy sets, learning bodybuilding from obscure internet forums, and if my mom picked up the home phone line, the entire internet would disconnect. 

Shoutout to my fellow late 1980s kids, we unknowingly did navy-seal style training on how to hack the internet to get what you want.
