I love roundabouts. I have no clue what on Earth compelled them to design the 85th st interchange this way, but they took maybe the most dangerous intersection I have ever seen and made it maybe twice as dangerous.

This is incredible. For only $380k I can have someone ship me a diner.

This is absolutely vile. The xAi merger made no sense and this is forcing working class people into purchasing risky assets from a known scammer.

This is claude writing code for itself. It talks like this to itself when you ask it to make prompts.

Seriously, this just seems to reward poor behavior on Anthropic's part.

Right, fair, but look at the prompt. For the purpose of testing general intelligence, this seems kind of pointless.

Except this requires you to own a business for 3+ years, which makes it a non-starter for indie apps.

The Windows code signing experience has prevented me from shipping apps that otherwise run perfectly fine on the platform. It is a nightmare and I cannot believe it wasn't called out in the "We want to fix Windows" blog post.

Just do exactly what Apple does. Charge me $100 directly from you and let me build an .exe that I can distribute on my website.

There's really no need to be "early" for something like this. I've seen coworkers who've never used agentic coding pick it up and know everything that need to in ~2 days. The people who really dive in and are running orchestrated agents overnight are in general not building much of real value.

They rebuilt half of their company around this thing and countless people saw promotions all around.

Seems like they’d want to wait to commit until after the layoffs, right?

Couldn’t their excellent model and coding experience generate another excellent coding CLI tool?

While I despise this administration, as a celiac I’m very hopeful for any cultural shift away from grains. People truly do not realize how often they will reach for some processed bread for nearly every single meal.

Do you think we'd be reading the story if it were on some random blog?

Actually, WE might. But my mom wouldn't.

Grinding leetcode and learning art seem at odds here. If you're a dev grinding leetcode, you'd likely be working in AAA where your time would be wasted making assets.

Between the two I honestly did not expect Instapaper surviving longer

I often see job postings here looking for "top <1% engineer talent" paying $100k and <1% equity and I wonder who is actually applying.

You are over-indexing on an employee pushing a change to the prompt that they thought would help without asking anyone at the company for confirmation.

If it is that easy to slip fascist beliefs into critical infrastructure, then why would you want to protect against a public defense mechanism to identify this? These people clearly do not deserve the benefit of the doubt and we should recognize this before relying on these tools in any capacity.

How will this not simply encourage hiring managers to include more and more ridiculous system design questions? Prior to the popularity of leetcode, it wasn’t expected to solve a leetcode hard

A job is a job

Is there a reason not to just use the API through openrouter or something?

Once I had to switch to tamari due to a celiac diagnosis, I found it was one of the few things that actually tastes better without gluten. I think most of the world would enjoy soy sauce made without wheat more if they tried it.

Also, most soy sauce in Japan absolutely has wheat unfortunately.

Part of this was the fact you needed a pretty decent connection speed and that the files themselves were extremely compressed

This linked website has an incentive to portray this "savings" as larger than it actually is.

They may be brilliant engineers, but they’re adults who’ve decided to become enemies of the state.

Fun visualization.

First thought that this would be https://timeflies.buzz/ a fun game I played at pax this year, though I'm a little worried I played the whole thing.

The areas where these would be used are super crowded, it is likely that the riders are constantly bumping into people.

Was also sold one by my dentist. Turns out you still have to floss so it was just another thing I paid for at the dentist that I didn't really need. Cool.

I can’t recall where but I read something about southern US rice (especially Texas) having high levels of arsenic. California rice was reported as safer

The incentives at meta around code production are all wrong. The team behind this is absolutely gearing this around lines of code and number of diffs produced. This'll just be another codegen tool creating another mountain of code that is difficult to debug.
