Fun 30 minute 3D print project: diffuser that fits on top of cheap target lamp

the future is here

You can in fact just do things

billionaire being interviewed: i havent listened to a single note of music in 27 years. think about it, music was basically invented, what, maybe 50 years ago?

interviewer: this is really interesting

To be extra realistic, there is no data for the month of August

It's still hilarious that when I ask Claude to draft up a plan for a complex task, it gives me human-time estimates. "Part 1: Months 1-3. Part 2: Months 4-6"

But then you just tell it to go and it finishes everything in a few minutes lol

If at this point you can’t admit LLMs are good at lots of white collar stuff then you’re just deeply unserious

"at least for now"

Even if you think you as an interviewer intellectually dominate your guests, I think it’s bad form to gloat about it

Lynnesbian @lynnesbian@fedi.lynnesbian.space You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen: Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare. C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate. Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data. The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.

Look, I get it, Lobsters is sort of the un-HN. Which is cool, I've been a lurker/occasional submitter for over a decade now.

The vibecoding tag drama is annoying though. Coding agents are obviously technically/culturally interesting, the repeated attempts to censor it seem misguided

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

*slides on perfectly lol

Now for the rest of the f*cking owl...

that feeling when it slows on perfectly :chefs_kiss:

Perfect snow day activity: making a toothbrush stand for our small bathroom.

Part 1: designing the support bracket and doing a test print

This is great - it's about time someone updated the discourse on LLM energy usage to reflect that coding agents use massively more prompts than occasional questions to ChatGPT

Simon estimates that a day of coding agent usage comes out close to the energy needed to run a dishwasher

Reflection MVP by oli-obk · Pull Request #146923 · rust-lang/rust I am opening this PR for discussion about the general design we should start out with, as there are various options (that are not too hard to transition between each other, so we should totally jus...

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

My colleague Sanjay Ghemawat & I have done a fair bit of performance tuning of various pieces of code. We wrote an internal Performance Hints document ~2 years ago as a way of identifying some general principles & we've recently published a version of it externally.

🔮Introducing OXtal – a new all-atom diffusion model for crystal structure prediction!

We tackle a grand challenge in computational chemistry: predicting the structure of crystalline solids directly from their chemical composition.

This looks beautiful. How do you make those ascii art diagrams? I’ve seen planetscale and turbopuffer both use that style and I’m obsessed

Somehow this isn't even the worst thing Boebert has been caught doing with her boyfriend in a public place

CommonForms is cool. Guy filtered CommonCrawl down to PDFs and trained a 3-class YOLO model on it. Performs better than Acrobat.

hard to tell if it’s doing nothing or it’s just a volume problem. sometime in the last few months i’ve started getting at least 3-5 BS group texts per day. reporting junk diligently has not ceased the onslaught

Federal Troops Arrive in Portland and Immediately Form Bands

Delighted to see our paper studying the evolution of plasmids over the last 100 years, now out! Years of work by Adrian Cazares, also Nick Thomson @sangerinstitute.bsky.social - this version much improved over the preprint. Final version should be open access, apols.

Sneakers deserves a mention as well. RIP to a legend.

Crazy shit happening in the footnotes of this ruling
