@DataChaz How much does it increase token consumption? @grok can you estimate?

🚨 MICROSOFT JUST OPEN-SOURCED SELF-EVOLVING AGENT SKILLS You can now train agent skills the exact same way you train AI models, and watch them get better over time. It's called SkillOpt, and it's 100% free and open-source. Until now, building agent workflows has been pure trial and error. You write a prompt, cross your fingers, and guess whether your manual tweaks made a difference. SkillOpt replaces the guesswork with an automated, mathematical loop. A base model runs the tasks, while an optimizer evaluates the output to rewrite and improve the instructions itself. → Data-driven updates: Isolates successful paths from failures to find precise improvements. → Built-in quality control: Automatically rejects any edit that doesn't boost your benchmark score. → SOTA performance: Easily outperforms hand-crafted prompts and optimizers like TextGrad. → Zero model lock-in: Because it learns real procedural logic, the skill transfers perfectly to other models. Think of it like learning to drive—once you understand the mechanics, you can drive any car. The optimizations you make don't disappear when you swap out your underlying tech stack. It's a complete paradigm shift: focus on teaching the skill instead of tweaking the model. repo link in 🧵↓

@JossIsTweeting @filicroval Nah just played with Luma a while ago for in house stuff. Glad to know better now, thanks for sharing

@labocha @filicroval Yes, unlike you, I'm actually aware of how it was captured. 4DV's co-founder posted on LinkedIn that the rocket was captured via camera array. They likely had limited cameras/drones, which is why that splat is quite low quality. But it's clear to me you haven't touched splats.

🤖 wake up, new 4d tool! Take any normal 2D video → instantly turn it into fully explorable 3D space. You can now orbit, tilt, and view the scene from angles that literally never existed in the original footage. This is 4D Gaussian Splatting (from 4dv) and it’s next-level.

@JossIsTweeting @filicroval first video in their web is a space rocket lift-off, did you even check it out before assuming so much?

@filicroval This is straight misinformation. Scenes like this can only be captured with large camera arrays where all viewing angles are covered. Definitely not from a single video. Gaussian Splatting is not generative AI. You either don't know or don't care. Either way: do better.

Which celebrity’s death actually made you cry?

@EricaRich61502 @LibertyCappy No id required 🤣

@labocha @LibertyCappy Thank God you can't vote here!!

Thomas Massie as president would be like having Thomas Jefferson back in office. 🔥

@cremetoursBA Si es bait es buenísimo, Historic Centre

Nuevos cupos para mis talleres de inglés a partir del 18/5. Manden mail a info@cremedelacremeba.com para más info.

@MRJKilcoyne If it helps, it's not that uncommon on our Patagonia region.

There's something seriously seriously wrong about that Hantavirus story on that ship off cape Verde that is a polar expedition vessel. Like every spider sense in me is tingling reading the story. None of the stories add up to the deaths and the strangeness.

@aschapire @reg_mati Es un gap generacional, no mucho más

@reg_mati lo resume bien

@SullyOmarr Think he means we won't even need to understand what an API is

never seen somone say something so wrong so confidently every single AI in existence works purely because of APIs swear he just says random stuff to bait people

@TheAliceSmith They always knows what's best for the working class, even better than themselves

Socialism is an elitist political philosophy that consists of intellectuals who impose their theories *on* the working class. Socialism doesn’t arise *from* the working class and isn’t an expression *of* working class values.

@dmxg82 @lucasllach Mi familia Casella es de Prato. 20 años tengo en el rubro, viajé a Italia a ver marcas y fábricas, esa nota del 2018 crees que reflejá la realidad de la producción italiana? Andá a recorrer el norte a las fábricas de calzado y marcas técnicas de ski, después contame.

@labocha @lucasllach elpais.com/internacional/… La gran mayoria del “made in italy” es de chinos que costuran en italia.

Que las marcas de ropa italiana haga todo en China es algo de lo que deberíamos aprender.

Tener a una balanza comercial positiva como el objetivo de la política comercial es un error conceptual. @gabricalderon ✍️ elcato.org/la-irrelevanci…

@teortaxesTex Interesting Confucian roots in Sokō, but in the West we mostly consume the Musashi legend: undefeated savage, Book of Five Rings, two-sword style. Musashi is the real icon outside Japan.

it's very funny how successful the promotion of Samurai has been in the West, when they are largely derivative from Chinese (and even specifically Confucian) ideas. Modulo Junzi, what is a Samurai? Just a butcher?

Didn't know that the Japanese izzat-splosion started in the 17th century, with this kind of nonsense arguments. By 1930s, they've been thoroughly convinced they're a superior race. And then they lost to the US, not China per se. No wonder it's being so hard for them to sober up.

Los mercantilistas creían que exportar era bueno e importar era malo. Tener superávit comercial no es bueno ni malo.

New @nberpubs: "The Macroeconomic Effects of Tariffs: Insights from 180 Years of U.S. Trade Policy" nber.org/papers/w35102 "Tariff increases are contractionary: imports fall sharply, exports decline with a lag, and output and manufacturing activity drop persistently"

@SloboMiloAlt @fireobserver32 @zhanghao869179 @teortaxesTex @jdoedoe101101 Pure hopium thinking PPP is superior for overall comparison. Great for local purchasing power, useless for global weight, military budgets, or dollar leverage.

@labocha @fireobserver32 @zhanghao869179 @teortaxesTex @jdoedoe101101 "But the copium merchant told me that copium tastes great! Why would he lie?"

El sueño de los zurdos que China supere a Estados Unidos como la economía más grande del mundo se está desvaneciendo. En 2021, el PBI de China estaba al 78% del de EEUU; para 2026, esa proporción ya está abajo del 60%, gracias a Trump. La brecha entre las dos economías se duplicó en solo unos pocos años. El modelo chino de "comunismo hacia adentro libre mercado hacia afuera" sigue quedándose corto contra el modelo full capitalista de Estados Unidos.

@zhanghao869179 @teortaxesTex @jdoedoe101101 Agree, don't think either metric is always better off.

@labocha @teortaxesTex @jdoedoe101101 China for example has a massive GDP PPP WHILE it has a massive industry (33% of the world's share in MVA, UNIDO, and 45% in industrial output vs US 11%, Mckensey) And the advanced tech to get the most of it's PPP You need to use different metrics not only one
