I have a hunch that current LLMs might make it easier to launch a brand new programming language, provided you can describe it in a few thousand tokens and ship it with a compiler and linter that coding agents can use simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/7/l...

New data on the corporate ROI from generative AI from a large-scale tracking survey by my colleagues at Wharton. They found that 75% already have a positive return on investment from AI, less than 5% negative. Also 46% of businesses leaders use AI daily. knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/special-repo...

You’re (probably) measuring application performance wrong. Humans have a strong bias for throughput. "I can handle X requests per second." Real capacity engineers use response-time curves.

I hope as we move past the first wave of AI criticism ("it doesn't work, all hype") we get a new wave of AI criticism rooted in the acknowledgement that, yes, these systems are very powerful & quite useful and focusing a deep exploration of when AI uses are uplifting and when they are detrimental.

AI/LLMs are a major accessibility technology — being against this technology is to be against advancing human accessibility, and i think there’s a case to be made that it’s borderline ableist

if you're curious about the architecture and mechanics of LLMs, this site has a really excellent explorable interactive visualization. it helps build intuition for how massive these models are, what 'interpretability' means, and the complexity involved here bbycroft.net/llm

Saying that we already know everything about LLMs because we know how they work on the lowest level is like saying that we know everything about mathematics by just defining axioms, or that we have computed everything just by inventing CPU.

hello tanglers! this october, we want to get more people into making their first ever open source contribution! to help them out, we've got the 🟣 'good-first-issue' label! head to tangled.org/goodfirstissues to see a list of issues across different repos that you can contribute to! 🤓

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

That’s a very interesting part #rustlang

buckle up tanglers, we've been working hard! first up: ✨CI is now generally available!✨ head to your repo settings and set your workflow runner to the hosted instance. 🚀 we have also got support for secrets! you can now deploy your site on CI! read the blog for more: blog.tangled.sh/ci 1/5

To reiterate: Pixar's Inside Out 2 is the highest grossing animated film of all time. Pixar also pushed artists into 7-days-a-week crunch, and right when they were getting to the finish line, laid them off. These overworked artists lost their bonus, healthcare, and income in SF.

Hello BSky! No time to mourn over X/Twitter, so let's get back to work showcasing a new dungeon for ABYSS X ZERO! A massive cathedral that you can explore both inside and outside. I'm still polishing up the level design and assets! #gamedev #lowpoly #madewithunity www.youtube.com/shorts/mDjXW...
