Sucker for a good mental model

Working on Presto @Meta. All views expressed are a superposition of my own and my employer's.

Had a wedding with someone out of my league, highly recommend it

@matei_zaharia Context: I want solid code editor integration, but most solutions in this space treat this as an afterthought.

I just want to be able to vibe code the functionality which matters for me

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@matei_zaharia Amazing, thank you!

Do you intend to make it extensible to support developing custom interfaces? Perhaps first-class ACP implementation?

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

Finally someone built it

[Matei Zaharia @matei_zaharia]

Really excited to open source a new project: Omnigent, a meta-harness for AI agents.

It lets you build multi-agent coding and custom agents, sitting above Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and agent SDKs to let you compose them. It also adds live collaboration and rich control policies.

@siddjain99 @BoamReho It's not obvious a priori that you're allowed to use your housing stipend for peripherals. They shared relevant and useful information

Utilitarians will really be like "you believe in intrinsic normativity of actions? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, computing the expected value of utils" and then not compute the expected value of utils

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@steipete Btw thanks so much for Trimmy, it's a life saver

@ThePrimeagen > * Now coordination is harder because things can "move faster

I've been thinking this too

I assume management is just hoping that power users will steamroll the coordination gap

Will be interesting to see how it plays out...

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@theo @kunchenguid @ThePedroProenca @mil000 Usually just "cliff". I've heard "vesting cliff" in this context, but it's less common and I agree is wrong.

Fwiw most of the comments you called dumb/wrong only used the word "cliff"...

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@theo @ThePedroProenca @mil000 > Nobody uses them this way

Evidently some people use the term this way! It's standard terminology inside some companies, apparently not Amazon

Happy to concede it's "wrong" to use it that way, but I can promise it's common

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@theo 🫤 ha never thought I'd get dunked on by you! Especially over something as silly as this...

Are you saying that all of us are collectively "wrong" for using this phrase? What's the correct phrase for the drop in TC at Big Tech after 4 years?

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@theo @ThePedroProenca @mil000 It means different things in different contexts!

In Big Tech, it refers to the drop in TC after your initial grant vests. In most startup contexts, it means what you're saying.

I'm not trying to argue one definition is "correct", but there's a miscommunication here

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@theo @ThePedroProenca @mil000 Sorry Theo, the above comment is standard terminology in some places, e.g. Big Tech

(I have no idea whether it applies to OAI or not)

@knowclarified Demand has plummeted, most doing big layoffs and/or trying to pivot

@athenaeumbc I'd expect that the easiest SAT Reading questions merely test basic literacy. Seems fine

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@davidad Few people have a consistent stance on numerical ontology.

The phrase "imaginary number" is the worst marketing blunder in history. No surprise most people think mathematicians are just fucking with them.

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@jxnlco Fr what's up with that?

[Matt Karrmann @karrmannmatt]

@patrickc @RichardMCNgo Have you apologized to John yet?
