@alex_prompter I was so excited to try 5.5 after my weekly quota reset. After literally one prompt, my 5hr quota remaining dropped from 100% to 46% (Medium effort). WTH...not so excited anymore 🙄

Both OpenAI and Anthropic just released official prompting guides. Both say the same thing. Your old prompts don’t work anymore. But for opposite reasons. Claude Opus 4.7 stopped guessing what you meant. It does exactly what you type. Nothing more, nothing less. Vague instructions that worked on 4.6? They now produce narrow, literal, sometimes worse results. Not because the model got dumber. Because it stopped compensating for sloppy thinking. GPT-5.5 went the other direction. OpenAI’s guide literally says: “Don’t carry over instructions from older prompt stacks.” Legacy prompts over-specify the process because older models needed hand-holding. GPT-5.5 doesn’t. That extra detail now creates noise and produces mechanical output. Claude got more literal. GPT got more autonomous. Both now punish the same thing: prompts written without clear thinking behind them. One developer on Reddit captured it perfectly after analyzing hundreds of community posts. The complaints tracked almost perfectly with prompt specificity. Precise prompts got better results on 4.7. Vague prompts got worse. The model didn’t regress. The prompts did. OpenAI’s new framework is “outcome-first prompting.” Describe what good looks like. Define success criteria. Set constraints. Then get out of the way. The model picks the path. Anthropic’s framework is the inverse: be surgically specific about what you want, because the model won’t fill in your blanks anymore. Two different architectures. Two different philosophies. One identical conclusion: the person writing the prompt is now the bottleneck, not the model. Boris Cherny, the engineer who built Claude Code, posted on launch day that even he needed a few days to adjust. That post got 936 likes. Meanwhile, Anthropic increased rate limits for all subscribers because the new tokenizer uses up to 35% more tokens on the same input. The model is more expensive to run lazily. Cheaper to run precisely. The models are converging in capability. The gap between good and bad output is no longer about which model you pick. It’s about the 2 minutes of structured thinking you do before you type anything. That thinking system is the skill. The prompt is just what it produces.

@theo I switched to Codex recently because of the $20 promo, and it was an eye opener: $20 GPT 5.4 High got A LOT more done than $20 Opus 4.6 Medium. Either OpenAI is very generous with their quota or Codex CLI is way more efficient than Claude CLI (same project, same skills & MCPs).

Idk if they made other changes, but I almost exclusively use Claude Code for fixing things on my system and now it's refusing to do that? 🙃

@godofprompt After this prompt I'm out of quota and need to wait 5 hours. So much for speed 😅

🚨 BREAKING: Claude has a secret mode called "Napoleon Rapid Execution Planner." It breaks your goal into decisive steps, prioritizes speed, and eliminates hesitation. Napoleon moved faster than everyone else. That was his edge. Now Claude gives you the same advantage. Here’s how to activate it:

@good86951986741 @CNN He could ask AI to write it for him 🙄

@CNN "JD Vance writing a book is like a 'Fish' writing a manual on 'Flying.' 🐟✈️ We all know he didn't 'Write' it; he just 'Signed' it for the Presidential Campaign. > Punchline: If it’s 'Free' on Amazon, it’s not a 'Book'—it’s a 'Flyer' for his Ambition! 🏛️📉"

Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday announced he’s written a book about his “personal journey” in faith as speculation rises about his presidential aspirations. cnn.it/4chhnrq

@garrytan I wonder if Max 200 is the minimum starter plan for this setup 😅

I am sort of still in awe how simple this is and how well it works.

I've been having such an amazing time with Claude Code I wanted you to be able to have my *exact* skill setup: Introducing gstack, which you can install just by pasting a short piece of text into your Claude code

@GoogleCloudTech this is a non-issue today. you either type /init in claude code or ask any model to write the skill file for you.

@trq212 I wish AI was actually intelligent enough to know my exact intent and figure out on its own what internal skills it can pull from without me having to install a gazillion skills & plugins. We're in the early days.

@openfangg Anyone managed to get this working with Hailo 10H (hailo.ai/blog/bringing-…) for inference acceleration on the Raspberry Pi 5?

@PeopleOfTheInt @netflix @AlexHonnold Truth is, Alain wanted to free solo it, but at the time the authorities required him to use top rope or else no climb. Also, it was raining.

@netflix @AlexHonnold This impressive feat was done first by Alain Robert who climbed the Taipei 101 on December 25, 2004, in the exact same conditions.

No hands is crazy. @AlexHonnold #SkyscraperLIVE

@AustralianOpen Talk about rubbing it in after the match 🙄

When your brain calls match point before the umpire does...

@AstronomyVibes I'm sure it will continue to surprise us if given more time to observe, as does something that's much older than we are.

🚨 Something Changed After Earth — 3I/ATLAS Is No Longer the Same Two frames. One visitor. A subtle but undeniable transformation. The dust and ion tails shift as the object reacts to forces beyond Earth. Captured by amateur observers, revealed through careful analysis—not noise, but motion. 🛰️ After its Earth flyby, the tail now turns outward, toward the deep solar system. This traveler did not begin its journey here… and it’s still unfolding its story. One thing is clear: no one truly knows what 3I/ATLAS is — the name “comet” may describe 3I/ATLAS… but it doesn’t fully explain it. #3IATLAS #3Iatlascomet #interstellarobject #spacemystery

@fluxfolio_ Only a pro technician could appreciate...

@RichEd316 @fasc1nate When in doubt, ask @grok grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

@fasc1nate Had this photo come out before A.I. got so prevalent I’d believe it to be real. Now I call bullshit.

"The photograph of Kurt Cobain in tears has been extensively published. Tilton watched Cobain smash his guitar through an amplifier and walk offstage. He followed him backstage. The pent-up emotion 'just had to go somewhere,' says Tilton, and Cobain burst into tears. 'What I really love about it is that it is a very real moment, and he allowed it. Other artists would have said, 'Not now, lan, please!' It is very unusual," adds Tilton, "for anyone from a band to show such vulnerability!" Look at more amazing historical photos: bit.ly/44OpIzi

@archeohistories Fake news: reddit.com/r/OutoftheTomb…

This stone is just one of the 2.3 million stones believed to have been cut, dragged, and lifted to construct the Great Pyramid over 5,000 years ago. The sheer number of stones involved in the pyramid's construction speaks to the monumental effort required to build such an ancient wonder of the world. Each block, some weighing several tons, was carefully shaped and moved into place, showcasing the incredible skill and organization of the workers involved. The construction of the Great Pyramid has long been a subject of fascination and speculation. While the exact methods used remain a mystery, it is widely believed that workers employed a combination of ramps, levers, and sheer manpower to move and position these massive stones. The precision with which the stones were placed remains a testament to the advanced engineering knowledge of the ancient Egyptians. Despite the passage of thousands of years, the Great Pyramid still stands as a symbol of human achievement and ingenuity. The remarkable feat of transporting and assembling these millions of stones continues to awe historians, architects, and visitors from around the world, solidifying the pyramid's place as one of the most impressive structures ever built. © Reddit #archaeohistories

Astronomers have found growing evidence that the Milky Way is located inside a vast cosmic void—a region of space roughly 2 billion light-years across that contains significantly less matter than the cosmic average. This underdensity, sometimes called the KBC Void or Local Hole, features a matter density about 20–30% lower than typical regions of the universe.On the largest scales, the universe is not uniform: matter clumps into enormous filaments, walls, and clusters, separated by immense voids where galaxies and gas are sparse. Gravity in these voids is slightly weaker due to the reduced mass.This local underdensity may resolve the long-standing Hubble tension—the discrepancy between two primary measurements of the universe's expansion rate (the Hubble constant). Measurements of the nearby universe, using supernovae and Cepheid variables, suggest a higher value (73 km/s/Mpc) than those derived from the early universe via the cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillations (67 km/s/Mpc).If we live in a large void, the reduced gravitational pull from surrounding matter allows nearby galaxies to recede faster than expected in an average region. This local "boost" in apparent expansion mimics a higher Hubble constant without requiring revisions to fundamental physics or cosmology.Recent studies, including analyses of baryon acoustic oscillations and galaxy distributions, show that void models fit observational data substantially better than assuming uniform density. If confirmed, this would mean our cosmic neighborhood is atypically empty, biasing local measurements and forcing astronomers to adjust interpretations of expansion history and large-scale structure.Living near the center of such a giant void would mark a profound shift in our understanding of the universe's homogeneity—and a reminder that our vantage point may not be as representative as once thought.

@Teslaconomics Optimus needs to master holding a water bottle before holding a scalpel 🫣

I think I get what Elon means when he says Tesla Optimus will end poverty. It’s all about ending artificial scarcity. For all of history, access determined everything. If you were wealthy, you had the best doctors, tutors, skilled labor, more time, and opportunity. If you were poor, you didn’t and one bad event could put you into lifelong trouble or debt. Optimus is going to change this. When a Tesla Bot can do things that once required years of training and massive cost like surgery, caregiving, construction, education, or daily labor, it levels the playing field by raising access. Everyone deserves access to the tools needed to live with proper healthcare, safety, mobility, productivity, and time. I’m not saying life should be fair, it never will be imo, but I’m saying Optimus will give everyone a fair chance, a fair opportunity at things that they could never have. Optimus is going to give every human the leverage that only the wealthy used to have. For example, procedures like brain surgery can literally bankrupt families for life, but in the future, they won’t have to. There won’t be much consideration to $ cost in the future, it will be more about whether we want it or whether it’s the right thing to do. And there are countless other examples we can easily think of. This product is going to cost $20-$30K in the long run. Everyone will be able to buy one. Everyone will have access to the skills Optimus can do. This is going to be the best product to ever be created. This is what’s going to make Tesla a $10T+ company. This is how poverty actually ends. Yeah… I get it now.

@fasc1nate That's not big, this is big: youtu.be/scK-7jR9jpI

An American soldier in Vietnam holds up a Scolopendra subspinipes, a species of giant centipede found throughout Asia. While a great photo, this is an example of forced perspective. Scolopendra subspinipes typically only reach 8 inches in length and aren't even the largest species of giant centipede. Despite that, this is a great photo. The creepiest photos ever taken: bit.ly/3MhKiB3

@crockpics I'm more impressed he's wearing a belt at 5 👏

John Bonham teaching his son 5 year old Jason to drum at their home. Jason went on to become a respected drummer in his own right, playing with various bands and eventually performing with the surviving members of Led Zeppelin at their reunion concerts, including the 2007 O2 Arena show.

@ringmagazine masochist.

🗣️ “Wow, that was nice.” Jake Paul had a genuine reaction to the punch that ended his fight with Anthony Joshua 🤝

@david_linklater @crockpics That's why he was a perfect match with Susanna Hoffs.

@crockpics Dude's 5'8" in that pic

A 19 year old Prince Rogers Nelson, 1977. Photo by Robert Whitman. The photos were taken on the streets of downtown Minneapolis, in front of the Schmitt Music Company building, which featured a well-known mural of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on its side. This was a pivotal moment in his career, as his managers, Owen Husney and Gary Levinson, were using these images and a demo tape to pitch him to major record labels. He signed with Warner Bros. Records later that same year.
