@gobblergetterr You mean the guy who called recruits who de-committed from Vandy “not men of character” and then later persuaded recruits to de-commit from Vandy and follow him to Penn State?

In a world full of Sherron’s Moore’s, be a James Franklin. No scandals no nothing. Just a damn good football coach.

How I would fix the College Football Playoff.

The essence of great software is the quality of its abstractions. Great abstractions are indefinitely composable and stackable. They become a dependable foundation for future work, future thought. The best ones are so robust you never have to revisit them -- you can forget them and build forward without ever looking back. Achieving this is the greatest productivity hack in software engineering. Because the greatest productivity drain is backtracking.

Yeah kinda embarrassing but I love to see a company at Meta’s scale willing to take risks.

The results show improvement over standard repeated sampling or sequential refinement on several benchmarks like LiveCodeBench and ARC-AGI, especially as compute budget increases. This is not the case for standard MCTS which plateaus. 7/8

Adaptive Branching MCTS: Very interesting paper here on an advanced reasoning strategy that outperforms what any one model can achieve. The core question is: how can we balance exploring new ideas (i.e. going wide) with refining a single idea (i.e. going deep)? 1/8

Used GPT-5 to analyze 8 insurance policy PFDs. Lightning fast parsing and extremely accurate analysis. Helped me think through the implications and make a decision. Perhaps not the most challenging task but was impressed with speed.

@dhh Check out ZUbakery in Portland, ME

One day I'm going to solve the mystery of why even the finest bakeries and hotels in America can't produce a Croissant on par with a Danish 7-11 or a Spanish gas station.

@KaiLentit It’s always DNS 😆

@levelsio That plastic bag cost $120M to make and its principle chemist is serving a 14-yr prison term for stealing trade secrets justice.gov/usao-edtn/pr/p…

Aluminum cans are literally just plastic bags inside aluminum, they're all lined with plastic which leech into your water

@clairlemon It often makes more financial sense for a wife not to work, given the cost of childcare. It *cost* our family $10k for my wife to work because of combo of taxes & daycare.

Because they’re not real. Wives who don’t work have always existed and their decision not to work is driven by economic security not “traditional values”. It’s a luxury not a lifestyle.

@amasad This Week In AI podcast/YT channel covers new releases with a lot of humor from a power users perspective. More of a practical lens and less theoretical.

There is a need for an AI influencer that does honest in-depth real-use review of new models. Instead of the “this is insane, 10 ways how kimi k2 is changing the world.” Maybe they exist?

And anyone using Safari or Edge don’t care enough to bother downloading something new

I think it’s unlikely everyone switches to AI browsers before Chrome just copies all their features. People are underestimating the power of distribution
