At @k1000cruises in #YGK we're adding to our crew of professional marine navigation officers. Know someone with boathandling experience, or currently holding a TC Mate or Master over 60 Tons or higher certification? Message me here on Twitter, or visit: 1000islandscruises.ca/marine/

@thsottiaux No. Chaos only. Friday releases. Send itttt.

For Codex, we’ve been thinking about keeping a stable release cadence and have a larger release each week on Thursday. That does make the start of the week and bit less exciting. Thoughts?

@pastimpress @thsottiaux Yep.

@thsottiaux frontend is basically the only reason I have an anthropic sub

Finally making strides on frontend, GPT-5.5 might be the one

@thsottiaux Excited to see progress but: the gap between Codex/5.5 and any recent version of Claude is truly huge for front end. Claude is now able to one-shot nearly every internal tool we make and its moments of UI whimsy and design coherence are inspiring. 5.5 makes 2016 android apps.

@dhruvtwt_ @nvidia Not Gemini?

Why is no one talking about this? @nvidia is offering around 80 AI models via hosted APIs absolutely for free. You get access to MiniMax M2.7, GLM 5.1, Kimi 2.5, DeepSeek 3.2, GPT-OSS-120B, Sarvam-M etc. This plugs straight into OpenClaude, OpenCode, Zed IDE, Hermes agent and even with Cursor IDE. Setup: – Grab API key: build.nvidia.com/models – base_url = "integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1" – api_key = "$NVIDIA_API_KEY" – select model (e.g. minimaxai/minimax-m2.7) If you’re building or experimenting, this is basically free inference. Lock in and start building today anon. Thank me later.

@Jan_1 @SciGuySpace That... is indeed the problem yep.

@SciGuySpace what lander? that's the problem...

@sama Sam, I have a question: what would you do if Dylan Scandinaro were to recommend shutting it all down. Completely, and immediately. Would you do so?

At @k1000cruises we sometimes do offers on specific dates, but it's rare that we publish an everything-on-sale discount code; if you're thinking about a 2026 Dinner Cruise, you can be nearly certain this is the lowest price it'll go on sale for: ktic.ca/blackfriday #ygk

@sama Sam, I think it's more broken than you think. After a few crashes and "model not found" errors, I'm now getting "you've reached our limit of messages per hour" having received *zero* successful replies all day. But, status page says you're fully operational...

Wanted to provide more updates on the GPT-5 rollout and changes we are making heading into the weekend. 1. We for sure underestimated how much some of the things that people like in GPT-4o matter to them, even if GPT-5 performs better in most ways. 2. Users have very different opinions on the relative strength of GPT-4o vs GPT-5 (just the chat model, not the advanced reasoning one). This is a cool thing you can try: x.com/flowersslop/st… 3. Long-term, this has reinforced that we really need good ways for different users to customize things (we understand that there isn't one model that works for everyone, and we have been investing in steerability research and launched a research preview of different personalities). For a silly example, some users really, really like emojis, and some never want to see one. Some users really want cold logic and some want warmth and a different kind of emotional intelligence. I am confident we can offer way more customization than we do now while still encouraging healthy use. 4. We are going to focus on finishing the GPT-5 rollout and getting things stable (we are now out to 100% of Pro users, and getting close to 100% of all users) and then we are going to focus on some changes to GPT-5 to make it warmer. Really good per-users customization will take longer. 5. The team is doing heroic work to optimize our systems and find more capacity, but still, we are looking at a severe capacity challenge for next week. We are still deciding what we are going to do, but we will be transparent with our principles. Not everyone will like whatever tradeoffs we end up with, obviously, but at least we will explain how we are making decisions. Thanks for your patience with us; we will continue to react and improve quickly!

@bubble Is Bubble planning to build for native ios/android?

CHEERS TO MOBILE 🚀

Honoured to join the Downtown #ygk community in celebrating John Wright, who was recognized this evening with the The Gary Poupore Exceptional Dedication Award, recognizing significant impact on the downtown business community through unwavering dedication and contributions.

Been on a #1000Islands Cruise before but looking for something different? Thursdays all season long, there's special entertainment on the Sunset Dinner Cruise at @k1000cruises Dinner and a show! See the full list: 1000islandscruises.ca/specialevents/ Depart from downtown #ygk, 1 Brock St.

@robert_kiley It's reasonable to reject the word "broken" here. The subtle "everything is an ongoing project" point you're making is not at all how Poilievre uses the word "broken". The result is that a lot of people working hard to actually act on our potential are brushed aside.

Concurrence. Two things happening at once. Canadians working in their incredible, awesome ways. A system not delivering as it should, or at least as it could. We can be at once broken and full of potential. Good and bad. Grey. Not black and white.

@SciGuySpace It feels very possible that this could still happen.

If Trump, Pence, and Bridenstine had been serious about a 2024 lunar landing back in 2017, they would have designed a program around Falcon 9/Heavy, Delta IV Heavy, and Orion. And we’d be on the Moon today.

@thejackbeyer @NASASpaceflight This tracking shot is ridiculously good wow

Booster 14 coming in hot! The vapor cone on this landing was everything I ever hoped it would be. @NASASpaceflight

@MSFS_Support Hours later, no movement.

We are continuing to work to resolve the server-related issues that have resulted in long loading times and service outages in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Users can check the current service status for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on the Xbox Support Status page: support.xbox.com/xbox-live-stat…

@SciGuySpace F9 seems like the safe bet here.

The crew of Artemis III, the next human landing on the Moon, launches on:

@anerdguynow In (most of) Canada there is one more day of weekend!

How is the weekend over already? I want a refund.

@ChrisBloore Congratulations on winning this seat Chris! We were rooting for you back in Canada.

This afternoon I had the privilege of being sworn in as the new Member of Parliament for Redditch and the Villages. Time to get to work.

@anerdguynow And video files were totally hopeless, because h.264 et. al. didn't exist yet so the .avi files were absurdly huge. CD-RWs were lifechanging.

Back in the 90s, we used to share mp3s on floppy disk. But since they were commonly larger than the disk could hold, you'd use a program to split the file into 1.4 MB chunks, spread it out over several disks, and then use the same tool to recombine them to the original file.

@hankgreen If they work too well, they persuade people to keep buyIng cars.

What are some arguments you've seen against electric cars?
