@xvise66 @Faxinator21 @simoncholland Yeah that's why I like my meat thin and seared smash burger style.

The more browning area the better. Thick steaks taste like nothing

@Sauers_ @psychiel I didn't come up with this fwiw I've seen it discussed on here a number of times

[Nick Sweeting @thesquashSH]

@Faxinator21 @simoncholland Yeah but then the inside tastes like nothing

@17WaysFrSunday @realdavidonline @GraduatedBen Tell that to the sun which shines like 1000x brighter blue light than any home light

@JeremiahDJohns So give confidence intervals! I don't need exact probability I just want to know rough ballpark + the level of confidence my doctor has in the quoted figure.

@patrickdoddboy @Cax36940 @IgualALaFruta But aren't we revolving around many other things in the galaxy too? I guess slower?

Today, we are releasing Le Chaton L∃∀N, aka Leanstral 1.5.

It achieves SOTA performance on graduate algebra benchmarks FATE-H and FATE-X and improves Pareto Frontier on PutnamBench, solving 587/672 problems with a x10 cheaper budget.

I've had to do some crazy repairs in the bush to get myself home, but never anything like this.

Wouldn't it be great if you could manage all your networking routes — Tunnel, Mesh, WAN, Transit — from a single UI with an interactive network map?

Well, now you can: https://t.co/TJqvRt7bMv

@pheoru Needs MagicDNS like tailscale, but otherwise very cool!

[Nick Sweeting @thesquashSH]

@arjunattam this is the way

Introducing the new Safari MCP server 🎊

Connect your agent directly to a live Safari browser window so it can find bugs and examine the page on its own.

Available in Safari Technology Preview 247 👉🏽 https://t.co/8Z77LbuDrk

Give it a try and let me know what you think ❤️

Everyone said this was impossible.
ClickHouse is a massive multi-threaded engine. Porting it to WebAssembly — a single-threaded runtime — was supposed to be a non-starter. Every AI we asked told us the same thing: can't be done.
But years of working on this engine gave me a different intuition. From first principles, there was no fundamental barrier. Just a hard problem that everyone had assumed away.
So we pointed AI at it — refactor, regress, repeat — instead of taking "impossible" for an answer.

The result: https://t.co/OgmJ09qJpC
A full ClickHouse OLAP engine, running entirely in your browser tab. No server. Query local files and S3 Parquet in-process.
Huge thanks to @wudidapaopao for the relentless work that made it real.

@qsdnl maybe some notification was crashing the windows developers machines and they needed a way to stop the crash long enough to debug it?

[Nick Sweeting @thesquashSH]

@Undeference @lcamtuf ok that is actually pretty cool, I knew about Pi FS but never realized it could get more meta

[Nick Sweeting @thesquashSH]

@Duderichy @drethelin My problems are not unique, but my combination of problems is only shared by like ~5% of the population, and only those people have been historically effective at helping me.

I felt in high school chemistry like there were no useful or reusable abstractions, e.g. I couldn't actually predicting what molecules could exist / how they would behave from first principles, and it's all based on a ton of observations empirically -- is this actually true?
