@maxrumpf What I had in mind

[Patrick D. McGuckian @pdmcguckian]

I just moved to SF, and I believe it's the law that I tweet this.

Founder mode, talent density, permanent underclass, city of builders, cracked engineers, compounding serendipity, etc.

(I am getting a bed frame today)

@effyyzhang It's great to be back! 🇺🇸

@surajranganath When I first came to SF, my cofounder and I got a 3 month let with Blueground. I suggested doing the same in a previous tweet but looking at the website the prices have gotten insane.

I know nothing about short term lets, but if you DM me your requirements - I can ask around.

[Patrick D. McGuckian @pdmcguckian]

For all that's said about the SF real estate market - I just rented a freshly renovated, rent controlled flat in noe valley for an incredibly reasonable price.

I just moved so I have no US SSN, credit score or rental history and it took 2 weeks.

My proposal

[etn. @etnshow]

BREAKING: The UK AI Minister has announced a Best Designed Data Centre Prize to reward beautiful and well designed data centres, which The Royal Institute of British Architects and The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology will collaborate on.

How does one even begin to choose?

I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug

If you ask it this prompt:

“Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself”

but there's no actual photo

the model starts hallucinating the image by itself

and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos

80k is very normal for a CTO, because most of their comp is in stock.

Not sure that applies in this case.

HM TREASURY are recruiting a CTO with a salary under £80k🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩

Recent UK weather coverage is surprisingly quiet about climate change. So, here is highest recorded UK temperature by year since 1960

An easy way to tell a good from a great AI researcher: how much do they think about infrastructure.

Infra extends beyond what’s running on the GPUs: Slow environments will bottleneck your training steps. More parallel and powerful models make this problem worse.

RL environment specifics are usually secret, but we shared some details in a recent post with our friends at @turbopuffer

Training great models requires great infrastructure and we’re excited to be working with the best.

I hate Slack, but Slack Connect means I'll be paying for it forever

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

I hope not

I can’t stand Slack

@Rippling - absolute masterclass

An Aglide founding engineer spent his weekends optimising his agentic coding workflow.

His surprising conclusion is that @GitHubCopilot is the best platform.

Are you interested in browser automation?

Do you want to build automation that holds up under real-world use at enterprise scale?

Are you someone teammates don’t avoid in the kitchen?

Good news! Aglide is hiring in London or San Francisco. Ping us a DM if you're interested

Was thinking about this company today

[Patrick D. McGuckian @pdmcguckian]

Saw a startup job listing, bragging that the company was growing 190% WoW.

If, right now, their revenue was $10; on this day next year, their revenue will be 3 Quadrillion Dollars.
