@evielync @heliumbrowser looks like a decent alt

@adikari how many agent lanes are you running concurrently and whats the RAM on your box?

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

Anyone moved from mac to linux for agentic coding?

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

If you ask for $10 a month a lot of people would pay it. Surely thats the move?

[Arc @arcinternet]

We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.

That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.

Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.

We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:

· Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
· Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
· Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
· The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.

Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

Does this look like me?

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

@davidiwanow @ElevenLabs I think it’s super easy to understand. For an AI voice it’s pretty good.

Today I used my free will to add a Scottish accent to all of our agencies internal explainer videos 😆 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks @ElevenLabs !

@lilyraynyc One of our studies on the U.S. law firms shows that there is a citation pool that just rotates, and eventually you get back to the first one.

Prompt to prompt there is a 40% overlap. Meaning, if you measure one snapshots its almost definitely wrong.

@lilyraynyc PS: I know its bad manners to link to your own stuff so just DM me if you want me to remove it.

I fully cracked automated agentic coding.

Everything is now running in a perfect little loop.

All I need to do is keep supplying new ideas, specs, and GitHub issues, and the various AIs and systems create and merge them with very little human intervention.

Blown away by these models

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

The new bottleneck is CI. Building PRDs, new screens, and new features, defining any bugs you want fixed, doing all that human-loop work in the morning, then walking away and having the issues automatically fix themselves at night means that it doesn't matter how long the CI queue is. It just all gets done.

In the morning, you can start again doing things that need you at the computer. It's not necessarily agentic coding that's getting done overnight. It's mostly everything that requires CI, which is typically slower.

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

@shanejones Sorry to hear that man. It’s a brutal roller coaster running your own stuff. Chin up and keep on ploughing forward

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

Ladies and gentlemen Wordpress has left the building.

[Noah Pham @itsNoahPham]

We're releasing and open-sourcing an alpha of EmDash Build, an AI site builder that hosting providers, website builders, and platforms can run themselves and integrate with their own systems.

Try the demo: https://t.co/LBES10vdR1

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

@ctwtn Yes for any dataset that needs decision making across a bunch of variables.

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

@ogi_joo @gztrains https://t.co/0rxkOHTxzn

I use these. They look dumb as hell but they work

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

@FractalVeritas @sahinffurkan @DavidOndrej1 @UbicloudHQ Even if it’s not idle. The amount of queues, dependencies and rebases that slow CI costs are not worth it in my opinion. Even with tiny PRs.

Opus5.5 and Jev in the last week……this is what they mean by hockey stick acceleration. Wow. 📈

[Ross Tavendale @rtavs]

Most people I talk to are using ChatGPT as a search engine and maybe as a therapist at most. Absolutely no one is actively using AI to build things, and if they are, it's very rudimentary, like little office applications.

On co-work, the vast majority of people have no idea about any of the models outside of the Frontier Labs, and a lot of them don't even know about Anthropic. It's kind of wild, but we are in a bubble. That bubble just happens to know about world-changing technology before the rest of the world, which sadly makes us all look like absolute madmen
