I'll never forget it. My dad gave me this book when I was 11.

@AliHShaib Commendable and very interesting that you all included 8 iterations of the protocol and the rationale for each one! Very cool work. Love the idea of super-resolution for all!

before i get shit for using Edge/Bing
I redeemed a $13 Amazon gift card yesterday for passively using it :p

are we serious right now

Cheers, chills, and a standing ovation when RASolute 302 showed unprecedented survival on daraxonrasib for patients with progressive pancreatic cancer

Seldom do you sense you’re witnessing a historic moment in cancer care but this feels like ras targeting has arrived

I'm super excited to share a tool I've been working on for a while now-- a full stack population genetics library that is purpose built for GPUs -- pg_gpu

In case you're curious about why dynamic workflows are so powerful and the future, read the RLM paper! Opus 4.8 + dynamic workflows in Claude Code is perhaps the first instance of a frontier model seriously trained to be an RLM.

I suspect within a year they'll just become the standard for nearly all coding agent interactions.

@swyx @ACM_President @CAISconf @aiDotEngineer for contributions to AI engineering as a discipline, would be hard to find a better turing award candidate than @lateinteraction

Less complaining

More thanking

[Faisal AlZaben • فيصل الزبن @polymorfaisal]

@Noahpinion Might be true but the nature of the work has shifted largely to editing & validation rather than just translation alone

[Faisal AlZaben • فيصل الزبن @polymorfaisal]

@justalexoki Their throughput has increased more than 10x. AI is a huge boon for translation but for non-Romance languages, it still requires manual review (for things that matter).
