incredible dialogue going on on the other site

Escalators were largely a mistake tbh

get in loser we're resuming history

the greatest thread in the history of bluesky, locked by a moderator after 12,239 replies of heated debate

So thankful that cordyceps are not real. That would be terrifying.

It is really unfortunate how much media leans on the trope of charity as a front for heinous crimes. IMO this drives a lot of conspiracy theories and general cynicism.

For You feed is great except now I see a bad post and I have to wonder if it's my fault or which of my mutuals is liking this slop

"other team's API" this guy knows ball

Someone (possibly Nathan) should sketch what open source AI should look like in a world where bio or autonomy capabilities get scary.

sometimes I despair that AI is happening when we are so unready for it, sometimes I wonder if this is the best-case scenario

a lot is probably true here but this piece going around is weirdly credulous about the quality of facebook engineering culture pre-AI newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/why-is-met...

It is probably good for us, abstractly, that the world's first trillionaire is obviously miserable. But it has had a lot of concrete downsides.

i can feel sorry for the haters because even 6mos ago it wasnt crazy to say stuff like “they can’t be trusted” or “they create more messes than they cleanup” but it’s just flatly wrong today

Claude: we've confirmed the issue is real, at this point you should page <oncall_rotation> Me: <oncall_rotation> has already been paged Claude: great, shall we let them handle it? Me: alas

do NOT get a programmable keyboard if you have catsyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy[CTRL][SHIFT][SCROLL_DOWN][SCROLL_DOWN]

wait it's just instantly computed for you? the moment you load it? is AT Protocol actually good??

my entire discover feed is images now, what happened??

quickly up-arrowing in CC to edit my prompt written in frustration before Claude reads it

one of my personal model benchmarks is to give it a dubious arxiv paper and just ask "wdyt?"

Never send to know for whom the page rings; it rings for thee

all children will learn in primary school how criticism of middle-class conformity was used to launder a fundamentally aesthetic distaste of housing developments, and how the same self-styled marxist counter-culture which produced "Little Boxes" dropped any material concerns once they owned property

Yet another precise measurement of how bad everyone’s CI/CD infrastructure is

if gpt-image fucked up the whiteboard don't blame me

when I'm paged

ML experiments be like

god I will never get tired of asking the machine "what if we did <entire project>", just kind of forgetting about it for 30 minutes, and all of sudden the new program just launches

has anyone made an infinite book yet?

Slightly tempted to vote for Connie Chan to get her off the Board of Supervisors

what else is like this

You bolt awake,

Out of both Opus and Sonnet so now I have to drink Haiku :(

it has come to my attention that some of you have personal blogs I have not read. please fix

Honestly google is doing everyone a huge disservice by getting many people to conflate the worst model in the world with the current frontier of AI

we’ve become incredibly overindexed on critiques of averages and aggregates in a way that can read as social justice-y but if taken far enough amounts to science denial

Getting the sinking feeling that the coffee carafes have not been switched yet and I’m drinking yesterday’s coffee

"average texan commits 3 crimes per year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average texan commits 0 crimes per year. Crimes Paxton, who is attorney general (??) and commits 10,000 crimes per day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

rip to all those civilizations eaten by their own nanites in their hubris but we're different. and better. maybe even better than the nanites

Kimi and Gemini are wrong, they presumably lack the ability to call themselves *with a fresh context* in this harness. Generation conditioned on a bunch of context is not the same thing as generation with fresh context.

Everybody thought it would take VR goggles or brain implants before humanity lost touch with reality but it turned out to only need a 3" × 6" piece of glass.

Apparently I can not recognize kaparthy from behind in the salad bar line

rough week

People should spend more effort on charting Pareto frontiers

everyone with a math phd should adopt a conjecture to ask a llm before you become part of permanent theorem underclass

people will say anything to avoid admitting that time-consuming home cooking was effectively subsidized by sexism

The 5090 was probably a +EV purchase but I hardly ever use it these days

the sopranos was truly ahead of its time

Opus 4.5 was Nov 24, 2025 and I count that as the start of the "holy shit, this is really good" wave in industry. We're basically only at 6 months. Opus 4 and Claude Code was only May 2025 You could get usable work out of agentic setups before that, but it was a pretty niche community.

nobody likes this take anymore but I actually thought github improved for the first couple years post acquisition
