If I won a lottery, I would learn computational geometry, code it in Odin and Metal, and just have fun with it for a few years. I'm doing other stuff though...



Only a German mind could cook up such a niche




We've moved more than 50% of Linear to StyleX so far. It's given us more control over how components compose, what can be overridden, and improved render performance too.






🦔Meta moved 6,500 engineers into a new Applied AI unit through surprise emails three months ago. Their job is to generate puzzles and coding problems to train Meta's AI models. Employees describe the work as "soul-crushing." One called it "the gulag." During a livestreamed internal presentation this week, someone hijacked the feed with an expletive-laden meltdown directed at a senior AI executive. Over 1,600 employees signed a petition against a program that monitors their clicks and keystrokes for AI training data. My Take Meta cut 2,212 people from Menlo Park a few weeks ago because the budget had to go toward AI. Meta drafted the surviving engineers into a unit that trains the AI. They know what the work produces. That's why they're angry. Zuckerberg said he picked internal engineers over contractors because they're smarter. Meta paid $14.3 billion for Alexandr Wang's data-labeling company Scale AI, put him in charge of Meta Superintelligence Labs, and then drafted its own engineers to do the data labeling anyway. The unit is led by a VP who ran Reality Labs, which burned $83 billion on the metaverse before Meta moved on. These are the people and the track record behind the AI bet Meta put $145 billion into this year. Hedgie🤗
