what else is like this

Teacher pays an electrician to fix the lights Electrician pays the teacher with that money to teach their kids Is the economy even real??

That was a stressful game to watch

Data centres are pointless and wasteful We should be building compute centres

There are adults old enough to drive, who never saw a world where humans could beat computers in chess

Cabo Verde being second in their group is wild

Oh you did a podcast with a bad person? We are going to punish you by giving you constant free publicity for a day and linking to your podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts

CAF nations really killing it this world cup

Seems a change in the way attacks are made might have caused the flurry of own goals www.nytimes.com/athletic/737...

As an experienced software engineer, one hard part of using LLM agents well is unlearning all the learned helplessness. A lot of things are now feasible to do, I just need to train my mind to understand that.

Missing a penalty and then scoring by nutmegging a dude after everyone else thought the war is over is peak messi

This video of World Cup players saying their own names is strangely fascinating Never knew we were mispronouncing "Erling Haaland" all this time

Another own goal?? Why are there so many own goals in this tournament

The speed at which the SBS - an Australia public service broadcaster - puts out World Cup highlights is incredible.

Having the USA-AUS match at 5am is diabolical

Actual first-world problems

The cool thing is that we can use LLMs to invent new advanced forms of paperwork

LLMs are good at writing shell scripts, but they are also good at making simple mobile apps. This unlocks the ability to do simple ops work (e.g. restarting a server over SSH) from my phone, which is very convenient.

The "add site:reddit.com to your Google search" advice was already pretty dubious. Marketers have figured this out ages ago, long before LLM search was a thing

Anthropic 🤝 Paraguay doing own goals

Given they rewrote bun in rust on a whim, what's stopping Anthropic from porting over claude-agent-sdk to rust or golang?

why did we make AI that can play video games before we made AI that can fold laundry

Recursive self improvement:

Anthropic became the most valuable private AI company, without having an image generation model

We only just finally got people to stop measuring programming productivity with lines of code. Now we're measuring productivity with tokens instead.

Huh

Australia is way ahead on this

I wonder if kids nowadays realise this was really what they called it

Wonder what things will be like if OpenAI were still being run by the twitch guy

i can finally write clis in electron, as satan intended

No idea what just happened, but my For You feed now has more politics than my Discover feed

"Lump of labor" is an awful thing to call your baby

Imagine generating so much electricity that the grid becomes the bottleneck. Our ancestors would have their mind blown

my phone does more flops than the 13th century

Bonus points if you can only control it using the media control buttons on the earphones

Of all the times to start trying out Github

I grew up not knowing what salted caramel is. I don't intend to go back to those times.

Never fun trying to figure out if a PR doesn't exist because a) the agent hallucinated it, or b) github dropped it

We are all Not a Number, in our own special way ❤️

claude design is actually pretty good

The Bluesky status page has people asking questions already answered by the Bluesky status page

Language models are getting too large. Soon we'll be getting Claude for Sentence

Claude being down all the times feels like trendy restaurants that are deliberately too small, to make it look more packed.

This is basically true of every field, not just software

The Weightlifters

Anthropic somehow cornered both the consciousness philosophy market, and the B2B sales market.

What kind of sandwich was it
