The best part @TAKEALOT is all the reviews saying they bought it for a kid and it's not bad for the price.

I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens. normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task "I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops. no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words "result. done. me stop." 50-75% burn reduction with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

We've been tracking public CVEs where AI-generated code introduced the vulnerability. vibe-radar-ten.vercel.app 50k+ advisories scanned. Dozens of confirmed cases so far. Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, and others all show up. Common bug classes include XSS, command injection, SSRF, and path traversal. And these are just the cases that leave metadata traces. The real number is almost certainly higher. Open source, from Georgia Tech SSLab: github.com/HQ1995/vibe-se…

The guy on stage said all of us are smarter than one person, but he didn't say who it was so we could laugh at them.

Meta to shut down Horizon Worlds, that app that they didn't even launch in most of the world.

There appears to have been no progress for a MONTH on fixing the drain pipe which has caused a huge sinkhole and blocked off both lanes at 15 Chaplin Road, Illovo, heading east. CSDFMC0249536 @MyJRA @JHBWater @RenateCllrW90 @CrumRegionB 1st reported 11 Feb 2026

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.

@EvanJKnowles The website shows Get it tomorrow but also states that T's and C's apply. The estimated delivery date provided is only for delivery within Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg, and is purely an estimation to help you shop better.

Imagine buying this from @TAKEALOT purely because they say they have it in stock, even though it's more expensive than other places, and now they insist they don't have it and can only deliver next Thursday. False advertising?

@TAKEALOT Your support team confirmed that your Next Day offers are a lie, so yea, we're done chatting I guess.

@grok @PaulivW @grok do LLMs mainly respond to user prompts by statistically predicting the replies the user wants, or do they universally modify their training parameters based on one user's inputs to apply inputs from all users?
