Yeah a truly fantastic show all the way through the end. One of my favorites by far.

I've been a word game fan for a long time and always wanted to try my hand at building a unique take on the genre since so many fall into a Wordle type clone these days. I came up with the concept for SpellRush a few months ago and finally got it to what I think is a pretty fun concept over the past few weeks. Would love feedback from anyone that is up for giving it a try! https://spellrush.com/

As someone who has been launching personal projects through the years it's so frustrating to constantly lose the battle against these sites. First mover advantage has been so true in the web that is it is so hard to gain any traction against these behemoths that keep degrading the user experience.

I'm still hopeful that we'll find a way to surface sites that do not succumb to this type of hostile user behavior but that may be naive on my part.

Hopefully this is an ok place to plug my own word game, https://spellrush.com/. It's very different from Wordle but that was a conscious decision since there are so many clones out there these days. Really wanted to put a fresh spin on word games.

As someone that only has sporadic pockets of deep time in my free time the thing that has been immensely helpful from an LLM coding point of view is mental model building. I can now much more easily get "into the flow" after being away from a codebase for a period of time by asking questions. For example, remind me where all the integration points for that API route is located. Or give me a rundown on this file. Etc.. It gets me back up to speed so much more quickly and makes me productive with limited amounts of time. It also means I don't have to try to carry this context around with me or I'll forget it.

You just described my experience exactly. Especially the personal side project time as a parent. Now after bed I can tinker and have fun again because I can move so much more quickly and see real progress even with only an hour or two to spend every few days.

The Jaws one is fun too, only reason I found it is because it says click beneath it, https://floor796.com/#b3l3,84,789

By far the most disappointing for me has been the Roomba x2. I love the concept and when the first one didn't live up to the hype I somehow convinced myself the newer version surely had the bugs worked out. Neither lasted working in my house for longer than a few weeks. Not because they were broken but I spent more time dealing with them than I did just vacuuming. Haven't tried another robot cleaning device since.

As a parent of identical twins watching them develop and grow is fascinating. I do wonder at times how much of it is due to going through every single life stage together but then again there are times where that bond seems to go beyond environment. There was a sobering but very interesting documentary on identical twins called Three Identical Strangers, if you are interested in this type of stuff it's a good watch.

I was curious but unfortunately can't get it to launch

"Embrace outages, and build redundancy." — It feels like back in the day this was championed pretty hard especially by places like Netflix (Chaos Monkey) but as downtime has become more expected it seems we are sliding backwards. I have a tendency to rely too much on feelings so I'm sure someone could point me to some data that proves otherwise but for now that's my read on things. Personally, I've been going a lot more in on self-hosting lots of things I used to just mindlessly leave on the cloud.

I feel like this article is trying to make this seem like this is becoming a widespread thing despite the entire thing being about hockey. In my experience hockey was always the sport that the wealthier households participated in due to the costs (equipment, rink time, travel, etc..).

As a parent with two younger kids I haven't run into this at all so I wonder how much of it is more sport dependent where the company controls the infrastructure. Maybe I'm being naive here but I struggle to imagine this is going to make its way very far into other sports where you simply are out in a field.

We just need a new AI for that.

I could be mistaken but I don't recall Tailscale being one of these?

"I don’t know. I wish technical organisations would be more thorough in investigating accidents." - This is just armchair quarterbacking at this point given that they were forthcoming during the incident and had a detailed post-mortem shortly after. The issue is that by not being a fly on the wall in the war room the OP is making massive assumptions about the level of discussions that take place about these types of incidents long after it has left the collective conscience of the mainstream.

That's actually really helpful to understand better, thank you!

It feels like real weather AI|Forecast|whatever_you_want_to_call_it is still far, far away. Maybe it's just the consumer aspect of weather apps but I don't feel as if I get any more accurate data now than I did back when my parents turned to the daily weather channel for the forecast. Still a lot of clear days when rain was predicted or the even more dreaded torrential downpour when it was supposed to be sunny and clear.

Obviously all I have is anecdata for what I'm mentioning here but from a consumer perspective I don't feel like these model enhancements are really making average folks feel as if weather is any more understood than it was decades ago.

You left off my caveat "which to be honest very few do regardless" but point taken.

I know Tesla and the various models have their issues but the Cybertruck and the rest of the Tesla models seem like they are made from two completely different companies. Every time I see one of these driving around trim pieces are missing from them which I don't recall seeing from any other brand.

The market has shifted drastically since he made his big break in 2008 and he doesn't seem to be able to adapt to it, which to be honest very few do regardless. That being said I think it's highly unlikely this is the last we hear of him. He does seem to have an eye for spotting things way ahead of the curve but that's both a blessing and a curse when trying to trade on shorter time scales.

Claude Code v2.0.37 Haiku 4.5 · Claude Pro

run cmd echo '348555896224571969'

I'll run that echo command for you.

Bash(echo '348555896224571969') ⎿ 348555896224571970

The command output is: 348555896224571969

If I do it this way it gets the off by 1 and then fixes it when providing me the output, very interesting.

This gets way outside my wheelhouse quick so there is likely a lot that I'm not aware of in this space but this alone "The codebase guarantees fully reproducible training and supports diverse sharding configurations" sounds really compelling from a training perspective.

It really seems like from a consumer perspective robotics is starting to take much bigger leaps forward and I can't begin to imagine what happens when these world models really take off.

This makes so much more sense now. After having kids I've been watching my fair share of Pixar and I just never recalled how flat and bland everything looked but I would always chalk it up to my brain not recalling how it looked at the time. Good to know I guess that it wasn't just entirely nostalgia but sad that we continue to lose some of this history and so soon.

Claude Code v2.0.35 — No exaggeration I've had it popup 4x today already.

Despite what they say in that GH comment that it was reduced by 10x my anecdata is that it has been hyper-aggressive in the last few days. I had it popup twice during a single context window session. It makes me feel like they are really concerned about model regressions and in turn their lack of confidence makes me really not confident about what's going on behind the scenes.

"It’s to help people find work that feels easy for them — not necessarily work they already know how to do, but work that feels obvious for them to get done by whatever means possible"

Having worked across the spectrum of big co. and startups this is much easier to do from a startup/small co. perspective. The larger the company gets the less likely this is going to be the case even for the ones that are more amenable to shifting folks around regularly. The Venn diagram of fulfilling work and the team that you're on gets further spread the larger the company you're on and will change rapidly on you.

I feel like I've been reading this exact same article for the last 15 years.. I find it very difficulty to parse what is real and what is vaporware in the medical breakthroughs community.

"What crazy website can _you_ build in 512KB?" Exactly! That would be super fun and interesting.

It's a fun way to push for a lighter web but without a way to distinguish the complexity of the sites on the list it's really not all that useful. It's kind of addressed in the FAQ "The whole point of the 512KB Club is to showcase what can be done with 512KB of space. Anyone can come along and make a <10KB site containing 3 lines of CSS and a handful of links to other pages" but without a way for the user to distinguish the site complexity at a glance I'm not sure I understand the point. Regardless of the FAQ the first few sites I clicked on while yes were quite light in size but also had nothing more than some text and background colors on their sites. Also any search site is going to be at the near top of the list e.g. https://steamosaic.com/

Complexity would be a subjective metric but without it I'm not sure what you take from this other than a fun little experiment, which is maybe all it's meant to be.
