Recycling all the things

[Saman Farid @samanfarid]

You wanted reindustrialization?

[Saman Farid @samanfarid]

1/ Today we're launching @RobotsForAmerica.
American factories can't find workers. Equipment is from the 1980s. Meanwhile other countries are racing ahead on automation. We have the technology to fix this — what we're missing is the will to actually deploy it.

Honored to host @KyleBrownHD12 to demo how our AI systems recover valuable materials from single-stream & mixed waste. By combining innovative sorting tech w/ existing recycling infrastructure, we can maximize recovery, cut waste & build sustainable programs. ♻️

[David Heaney @Heaney555]

A lot of people's worldview will be broken by the inevitability that "slop" turns out to just be a short-lived limitation of early models, not inherent to generative AI as a technology.

[AMP @AMPSortation]

We’ve signed a 20-year contract with the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia to provide solid waste processing services—boosting recycling rates and landfill diversion—for SPSA’s eight member communities.

The play right now is to go deep in a vertical and build AI Agents with the context of the critical workflows, domain expertise, specialized instructions, and data of that industry. And build anticipating what’s possible with AI models in a year from now, not just today.

[Skyramp @skyramp_dev]

🚀 We just launched Skyramp! Meet the AI-powered “autonomous QA” agent putting software testing on autopilot. Plus, we raised a $10M seed round led by @sequoia to power this mission.

🧵 have been in DC the last few days in conversation with WH staffers, congressman and senators — the energy and excitement around strengthening our manufacturing base is palpable and dominates every conversation. The White House then announced a series of new manufacturing investments in America.

@gauravkapadia It's the best

[Matanya @mhorowit]

Trail blazed ✅

[AMP @AMPSortation]

Excited to see our Founder and CTO @mhorowit on this list of tech trailblazers compiled by @BuiltIn! https://t.co/a5VXKZqHjC

[Matanya @mhorowit]

A >100 ton robot that sorts waste autonomously?

Great feature by Business Insider shows the future of recycling, where hand sorting used to be (and in many places still is) the state of the art.

[ARC Prize @arcprize]

New verified ARC-AGI-Pub SoTA!

@OpenAI o3 has scored a breakthrough 75.7% on the ARC-AGI Semi-Private Evaluation.

And a high-compute o3 configuration (not eligible for ARC-AGI-Pub) scored 87.5% on the Semi-Private Eval.

If it’s good enough for Andrej, then it’s good enough for you.

Learning how to use Cursor and build software is literally the highest leverage thing you can do in the entire world right now.

Embrace the future and build.

[Matanya @mhorowit]

Understated, if anything

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Programming is changing so fast... I'm trying VS Code Cursor + Sonnet 3.5 instead of GitHub Copilot again and I think it's now a net win. Just empirically, over the last few days most of my "programming" is now writing English (prompting and then reviewing and editing the generated diffs), and doing a bit of "half-coding" where you write the first chunk of the code you'd like, maybe comment it a bit so the LLM knows what the plan is, and then tab tab tab through completions. Sometimes you get a 100-line diff to your code that nails it, which could have taken 10+ minutes before.

I still don't think I got sufficiently used to all the features. It's a bit like learning to code all over again but I basically can't imagine going back to "unassisted" coding at this point, which was the only possibility just ~3 years ago.
