The more I use Linux, the less I like macOS

@chrisdeweese_ so that’s what the stargate is used for

@morqon @SemiAnalysis_ I’d been wondering how it was worth the effort to rewrite their training/inference stack for TPUs, but this makes a lot more sense. they didn’t

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@benhylak the convergence will be companies who can figure out how to create a product for one group and expand into the other. not sure which direction is easier/preferable

the most relevant example I can think of is @SunoMusic buying the WavTool AI DAW

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@jakemclain_ @muse_art_ a super cool use of Max for Live

can’t wait until it’s available as a VST plugin

ever since WavTool disappeared, I’ve been waiting for someone to make this

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@deepfates a powerful AI enabled DAW. not suno or udio slop, powerful tools that help actual producers create music. stem splitting, text to MIDI, take any patch and generate novel variants.

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@DhravyaShah @natolambert’s @interconnectsai

@dylan522p’s @SemiAnalysis_

@GergelyOrosz’s @Pragmatic_Eng

Matt Levine’s Money Stuff Bloomberg column. he’s effectively the Ezra Klein of financial columnists, in terms of readership

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@togethercompute Seems like a missed opportunity that your own model is not available on your platform

@Angaisb_ Claude Max > Cursor Pro > Claude Pro

@cluely, but for everyone who doesn’t trust them enough to use their product

[Daniel Park @danifesto]

Good morning, @im_roy_lee! In just 4 days we open-sourced the latest @cluely called Glass. Same real-time meeting assistant, sharper output & design, but 100% free.

Distribution isn’t the moat; velocity is.

@togethercompute chat has free, seemingly unlimited access to these open weight models

I’ve been paying 4 cents an image on @FAL for flux kontext [pro]

@zCat_App Mulvad has a much more robust solution for completely disassociating your personal information from your VPN account

accounts are identified by an anonymous account number, instead of being associated with your email

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@inerati as a Vision Pro owner, yes a bit

for most people, it’s not comfortable to wear for extended periods of time

and unless you’re using the Vison Pro as a virtual display for your Mac laptop, it’s not a great device for productivity

@katzenzeitungen @SIGKITTEN fail2ban deals with the malicious login requests that an open ssh port will receive

tailscale creates a software defined private network between your devices, which eliminates the need to worry about login requests as the port is no longer publicly accessible

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@SIGKITTEN I was just asking to confirm that you didn’t port forward the ssh port on your laptop

adding tailscale would be a simple addition that would let you ssh in from anywhere

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@ARandomNeko21 @HSVSphere yeah that would be fine, one of my email aliases is [email protected]

if it’s still available buy that domain immediately

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@ShinyQuagsire yeah it’s definitely USB2 because the cable between the battery and headset is actually a jumbo lightning cable

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@allisonology @xeophon 🥺👉👈

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

I see this mentioned constantly on my timeline

if true, it should be trivial to prove it. just run SWE-bench every hour and a cyclical pattern should quickly emerge in the data

until then, I think the most likely explanation for this phenomenon is mass hysteria

[Ian Nuttall @iannuttall]

Anybody else noticed Claude Code is just ridiculously good early in the morning on weekends?

[Sam Butler @samdcbu]

@marimo_io is the first OSS notebook with a modern UI/UX like DeepNote/Hex

it reminds me of Helix and @typstapp

they’re all great software, but they’re probably doomed bc they’re trying to displace deeply entrenched, incumbent software

(marimo=Jupyter, Helix=vim, typst=LaTeX)
