the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

It is very mean that almond croissants with almond paste that’s “not too sweet” aka perfect are like 600 calories a pop

Beavers are the greatest

It is a particular cruelty that the only ways a newborn likes to sleep are the ones where they say you can’t let them sleep like that or they’ll die

dudes rock

Shout out to facebook marketplace for some of the most hilarious interactions I've had. Giving away a 9+ cubic foot, heavy beanbag and some lady was like "my boyfriend can pick it up, he'll be taking the bus, walking from the stop that's a 50 minute walk from your place" wut

What kind of joker shit is this pediatrician form

I've been testing the accuracy of LLMs in transcribing printed and handwritten historical texts stored as images. I put together a corpus of 400 pages from the Library of Congress. Current leader is GPT4.1-mini, which at 11 cents per 1K pages, is also the cheapest option. github.com/nealcaren/In...

The other thing about this post is that it solidifies for me that we're dealing with an entirely different kind of computer. LLMs aren't just programs you run on a computer, they are computers in their own right, with analogous layers of primitives and abstractions on different hardware. Exciting!

Fantastic technical post about experiments in making LLMs deterministic by making kernel operations act invariant of batch sizes: thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeati... Curious if we'll see something like this roll out more broadly in the future!

Get a bunch of computer dorks zooted out on a weird kind of computer (LLM) and soon enough they'll find ways to trim compute like it's going out of style. - <10% total compute for training - 10x higher throughput for inference qwen.ai/blog?id=4074...

Yeah my experience in 2015 was hundreds of applications with no response, but I did luck out with a hackathon being hosted as a recruitment event and that’s how I got my interviews for first job out of college. My only other option was begging to go full time with my current university internship.

man…

Reading up on baby stuff really makes clear the cultural stranglehold that white christian conservative demographic has on having kids in the US

Personally I think roller coasters are a top 10 human invention

That white house tech ceo dinner was real bad man. Just unironically cartoonish mobster behavior with the round table where they all verbally licked his boots

Man, one of the best ways to keep your ego in check is to load up the squat rack and do front squats, ass to grass, with a short pause. RIP my entire body

I genuinely hate that this is probably correct

I think a lot of things would be better in this world if we normalized adults playing hackey sack with each other all the time.

kinda hate to say it because of all the grift surrounding its main boosters, but I think I’m long on cryptocurrencies tempo.xyz

I'm no economist, but it's my belief that any objection to the economics of AI is (re?)discovering that you don't like the economics of startups or R&D-heavy initiatives in big tech.

just don't have time to vibe code this feature boss, I'm in too many meetings

I read it last year but it’s still stuck with me, so I’ll gladly recommend The Vegetarian if you’re into the idea of reading incredibly good but fucked up stories that stick to your brain en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Veg...

it's a little weird that the maximally free speech crowd isn't on bluesky, because the lack of moderation makes this place about as maximally free speech as it gets in the social media app world

On my 207 day streak with LinkedIn Games. I'm here to win, not network.

there are no masters to these scrum teams

people: we want AI that acts smarter! people: wait, no, we don't want it to question *us*!

Well I wrote a small list here because I couldn't stand the dearth of content online by men, for men, about supporting a pregnant partner www.phillipcarter.dev/posts/pregna...

This is probably the most accurate take

man ritche torres is a real piece of shit motherfucker

GenAI is inherently left-wing because it strives, even if failing, to produce a correct answer and draw from diverse sources in doing so. However, GenAI is inherently right-wing when it comes to humor because it makes Nate Bargatze seem funny in comparison www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

me, optimist: boy I wish one day I'll meet a PM, manager, or VP who doesn't farcically believe that developers are fungible resources me, sicko believer in systems thinking: lmao

Yeah this is something that's painfully evident once you get past baby's first RAG wrapper with basic inputs/outputs. That the large majority of the public (and even tech world!) hasn't yet caught on is pretty damning

*sigh* This is actually a decent use case in theory but I am willing to bet they just paid Capgemeni or some other outsourcing software slop vendor to roll out a basic Langchain app with no guardrails, evals, or any kind of care about the quality of their software

I am closer to being radicalized against airpods. Everybody on mixed use trails uses them with noise cancellation, so it’s basically useless for me to shout “on your left!” when trying to pass them on my bike.

Logged into Facebook, and all my conservative family is demonizing all trans people because of the horrific Minnesota shooting. Don't even know what to say to them anymore. How can people be like this?

Don did a good job explaining this here dsyme.net/2025/08/27/o...

Definitely a low-key fear of mine is that I will be gleefully interacting with online anons who don't facepost like me, only to learn they're up to some extremely bad shit years down the road. Most anons are just fine, normal people! But it's still a small fear in the back of my head

Important update: Geese has released another song! youtu.be/DT0RBSpDiKo?...

a huge part of the problem with AI and delusional spirals at the moment is that the "AI safety" people were busy with their own fantasies of Skynet, AGI, and paperclip maximization being the danger and seem to have done zero due diligence on the *actual* risk factors of the product.

We did it, we got bluesky’s bean dad

I think my favorite part of working in big companies (I missed this in my 4 year stint at Honeycomb) is being asked to sign off on something without ever being given a definition of what it means to sign off

Not feeling the AGI with this one

Eric Adams continues to be the funniest mayor of all time

Underground bluesy indie rock with a thick and chunky bass line is one of the quickest ways to warm my heart

I don't know who needs to know this, but Slack AI's search integration is actually very good now. I use it every day at work because there's like 5 different ways people refer to the same concept and the only info about its behavior tends to be buried in some message somewhere.

Geese is just so good, here's a classic early youtube style music video cover but with shitty midjourney pics of justin bieber and, as expected, extremely good frontman performance youtu.be/fIeb2sRbI8Y
