Sam Altman reveals his favorite Naval quote:

"Naval Ravikant used to say this thing that I loved, which is, if you had a fast-forward button on a remote for your life, your life would be over."

"The boring parts, the bad parts, they're still much better than no experience. It’s all part of the interestingness and the kind of emotional depth and range. And I don’t know, I find it fairly easy to be grateful for the bad days."

20 anys i més de 20 milions de persones @wikiloc! 🎂

Em fa molta il·lusió que un projecte del qual formo part, i nascut a Girona, continuï promovent l’activitat a l’aire lliure i connectant tanta gent apassionada per l’esport. Per molts anys! 🎉

20 años y más de 20 millones de personas @wikiloc! Me hace mucha ilusión que un proyecto del que formo parte y nacido en Girona siga promoviendo la actividad al aire libre y conectando a tanta gente apasionada por el deporte. Felicidades! 🎉

20 years and over 20 million people, @wikiloc! It means so much to me that a project I'm part of, born in Girona, keeps promoting outdoor activity and connecting so many people passionate about sport. Congrats! 🎉

[Wikiloc @wikiloc]

20 years ago, Wikiloc was born from a simple idea: to help people share their outdoor trails so others could discover them with the confidence of not getting lost. Today, we’re a community of 20 million people exploring and sharing the world.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We're excited for what's next! 💚

@neogoose_btw Why are pi-fff calls constrained to the workspace?

AI may move to directly generating binary code, but I suspect there are still advantages to reasoning in a different representation.

Textual code is a flattening of an abstract syntax tree, and while LLMs produce tokens linearly, the prior context is only linearly connected by the relationship of the position embeddings, so I wonder if they could work more effectively if the position embeddings directly represented tree structures.

Code could be “parsed” into the context instead of directly entered into it.

I'm so tired of all the AI bots here. Note, however, how at the base of everything wrong there is human stupidity and greed.

[antirez @antirez]

Modern AI resulted from research made also by many non-US scientists (Hinton, the French folks, Linnainmaa, many others). The pre-training corpus was produced worldwide with massive code contribution from Europe OSS. What is happening with frontier LLMs is unacceptable.

How many non-designers could *never* before design with Figma, but now can, with Claude Design?

Disruptive products usually create new markets, instead of just stealing market share from existing incumbents.

[Anson Lin @ansonlin]

can someone explain to me why I shouldn't buy figma stock right now?

they beat revenue projections every quarter since ipo and the stock is down 85%.

i don't know a single designer that uses claude design.

something doesn't add up.

@antirez Take a look at Xiaomi Mimo 2.5. Might be the best candidate after DS4-flash.

@tphuang Which benchmark is this?

[Igor Babuschkin @ibab]

Building great AI products requires excellence in both creativity and technical execution. You need to create the right culture and enough space for good ideas to emerge and grow naturally, then fuel the best ideas with strong execution.

The reason you see most good products start out as personal projects is because we are most in tune with matters when building for ourselves. Products that are built for a fictitious user almost always end up bad because you don’t get a good handle on what actually matters and you build things that don’t resonate with users. It’s not that different from creating great art.

𝕏 if china bought it instead of elon musk.

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

One of the best reasons to talk to customers regularly is to hear their feature requests for features you already have.

Yes, YOU know it exists. YOU know where it is. YOU know your product has it. YOU know how to use it.

But they don't. They can't find it, haven't noticed it, don't know they can do it, didn't know they already had it.

Its great because on one hand you can give them the thing they want instantly (since it's already there), and the other hand it serves as a humbling reminder that the bigger a system is, the more likely any one part of it will be missed, ignored, not used, or underutilized.

That's all.
