@bruhman20meow @g_a_u_s_s_i_n_g I'd say like a 3 or 4. It's not nearly as bad as you may think. The needle is indeed massive (10 or 12 gauge I forget) but it is not that painful. Less than a lip piercing, maybe around the same pain as ear piercing.

@g_a_u_s_s_i_n_g Ik microchip needles r MASSIVE, pain on a scale of 10?

So my partner put a microchip (NFC/RFID) in my hand. Lol something something pet-play.

@praeclarum "This will take at least 2 weeks!" Press X for doubt

Me: Do this thing AI: This is a massive task Me: Yeah, do it AI: It’s truly massive and requires editing 205 files Me: Yeah, Microsoft is 10x’ing their price. Now get to work! AI: …

@chris__lu Buying a Microsoft product for your company is exactly like buying an Atlassian product: only done by non-technical people and those who won't be working with the product. That or people who have never experienced anything besides Microsoft.

How many AI native companies are on the Microsoft suite of tools? If I had to guess, I'd say exactly 0.

@RoxCodes Not to say anywhere else is mean. I am biased, but Midwesterners have neutral US accents and have a bit of Southern sweeteness that goes a long way to defusing situations. source: double as a support engineer

@RoxCodes If you want the second, you'll likely need an engineer converting/doubling to be a support engineer. My honest take is try to find a software engineer based in or from Midwest US who reads as kind. They just need to be friendly and curious about solving problems.

does anyone know an amazing support engineer? dying for someone who can: - talk to customers - fix complex bugs

did you know that in most white collar jobs you can just go for a 15-20 minutes walk multiple times a day and they just like don’t care

@redman @claudeai @bcherny No. It has done this since the beginning. It has always quoted things in 'human hours' rather than how long it takes it to do it.

@claudeai is putting in "human time" estimates into proposals. My prediction is that this is prepping us for a big price increase as they're definitely running a huge loss on inference → "Yes, this cost $1000, but Claude saved you 3-4 weeks of developer time" @bcherny yay/nay?

@elonmusk You are bringing "VerizonChipotleExxon" to life. "Proud to be one of the 8 American companies"

SpaceXAI Colossus 2 now has 7 models in training: - Imagine V2 - 2 variants of 1T - 2 variants of 1.5T - 6T - 10T Some catching up to do.

@SwordsaintPress @thehorizon2b2t Shouldn't we assume creatures on that planet would've evolved to sustain higher gravity to begin with so it sort of cancels out.

@thehorizon2b2t Kepler is doable, theoretically. Humans can tolerate any velocity & 4-5 easily over sustained periods, and upwards of 10 in a flight suit (record is 46g!). A Kepler rocket would need more stages and burn more, but it’s well within the energy release of current rocket fuels

curious would it be like physically impossible for any intelligent species living on kepler to launch a rocket into space? like its already barely possible to launch a rocket from earth so I imagine if gravity was just a little larger you'd be kinda fucked

@mspringut Just make it go all the way to the floor then you can have the height tied to the burndown chart. No need to have unnecessary check-in meetings when the stakes are easily perceivable.

As a company leader it’s important to listen to great ideas from your team. My colleagues Andrew and James imagined and prototyped the product that’s become Monumental Labs’ #1 revenue driver! They understood that high ceilings are great for creative thinking but terrible for focus. And most rooms just can’t change shape that easily. Their breakthrough: the focus stone™ A 6-inch slab of marble that matches your ceiling height to ANY task. What are customers doing with these 6+ ton stones over their heads? Let’s dive in. 🧵

@redman I tell mine to have an IQ of 175. Checkmate.

if ur CTO isn't programming like this ur cookied

@boyuan_chen @liquiditygoblin Fantastic troll post, I love it.

Linearly separable under default sampling settings, sure. But prompt it with 'write casually, use fragments, misspell stuff' and that boundary probably collapses fast. The hard part of detection was never clean ChatGPT output, it's the edited/prompted text that sits right on the decision boundary.

In an effort to try stop seeing so much slop I've been trying to train my own AI detection model. Found something incredibly interesting. for the most part LLM generated text and human written text are linearly separable.

@Infiniteun09 @XFreeze bot lmao

Grokipedia is scaling insanely fast and getting better every single day In the last 10 days alone, Grokipedia added around ~400k articles per day, totaling over 4M, while Wikipedia added just ~500 per day—that's about 15K a month Grokipedia is one step closer to the “Encyclopedia Galactica,” rewriting how humanity captures and explores knowledge in real time

@XFreeze Wow. Such a good comparison. I could do even better, I could add 50 gajillion articles to MY Wikipedia clone by just outputting non-sense.

@TheJusticeDept "We investigated ourselves and we are not at fault"

The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time. The FBI made this conclusion based on the following facts: -The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey Epstein’s. -The letter was postmarked three days after Epstein's death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York. -The return address did not list the jail where Epstein was held and did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail. This fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual. Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law.

@SenFettermanPA Can't wait to vote you out. 🥰

After 40 days as a consistent voice against shutting our government down, I voted YES for the 15th time to REOPEN. I’m sorry to our military, SNAP recipients, gov workers, and Capitol Police who haven’t been paid in weeks. It should’ve never come to this. This was a failure.

@zimm3rmann @m_franceschetti 👀 You should take a look also at its local storage on the phone. Maybe they fixed it now but it used to be the #1 or #2 biggest suck of storage on my phone at multiple gigabytes.

Is 16+gb/mo a normal amount of telemetry? Can you not do any local compute of “get hot” or “get cold” with a multi core processor and multiple gigabytes of memory? Can’t just repeat the previous nights settings? It’s bad enough that you slapped a $200/yr subscription on things, worse that it doesn’t work at all without internet.

The AWS outage has impacted some of our users since last night, disrupting their sleep. That is not the experience we want to provide and I want to apologize for it. We are taking two main actions: 1) We are restoring all the features as AWS comes back. All devices are currently working, with some experiencing data processing delays. 2) We are currently outage-proofing your Pod experience and we will be working tonight-24/7 until that is done. More updates soon.

@EvanDweck @m_franceschetti @josh_odgers .@eightsleep is absolutely killer with customer service. I've been grumpy to them many times over leaks and somehow they are still nice to me when I would email in, haha.

@m_franceschetti @josh_odgers This is customer service. Bookmarking this to look back at for a model when I eventually have an incident and need some inspiration.

@m_franceschetti Would this also include making it potentially work offline? Maybe my wifi is just bad but I have in the past had a spree where my Pod would consistently disconnect from wifi, causing it to stop working entirely.

@StevenKerwin @ElonClipsX Many of those things, especially the earlier ones, didn't come true BECAUSE action was taken. Just because it doesn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't going to.

@ElonClipsX Should we add this "10% Earth Lifespan left" to the list of things that never happened?

Elon Musk: Earth only has about 10% of its lifespan left before becoming uninhabitable. “If Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years, which is what the fossil record suggests, then Earth only has about 10% more life in it before it gets so hot that life is impossible. It's not about just landing on Mars and doing flags and footprints. It's about creating a self-sustaining city on Mars with the fundamental fork in the road of destiny being that Mars is sufficiently self-sustaining and can grow by itself. If the resupply ships from Earth stop coming for any reason, whether that is because civilization died with a bang or a whimper, but if the resupply ships are necessary for Mars to survive, then we have not created life insurance, we've not created life insurance for life collectively. That's the key point in the future where destiny of life as we know it will forever be affected is when Mars becomes self-sustaining.” Fox News interview with Jesse Watters, May 6, 2025
