@tchrscurriculum Right as kids get older it just feels like you are getting more and more behind then poof they are gone and everything levels off

Middle age is tough. They call it the "sandwich generation". Kids counting on you. Parents counting on you. Jobs counting on you. IRS is counting on you. Take care of yourself! You are needed!

@LyalinDotCom Y 3 oldest boys and I are the same way, we work so well as a team. My youngest sacrifices the late game to keep you busy defending verses his ground rushes that you are not ready for the attack from the other.

My friend & I were so good at Starcraft 2 multiplayer we made people rage quit on a regular basis. When you saw this arrive at your base, before you thought it was possible, it was too late. We pretty much never lost Not sure why this came back to me waiting for agent to finish

@MichaelGannotti Smart move, I ended up with both but all the work related AI tools are best integrated into the MS Office set. I use Google mee, keep, and drive still but everything else is not MS for the ease

Bought a Microsoft 365 Subscription today for small biz. Going to migrate my AI from Google Workplace to the Microsoft 365 stack

@LyalinDotCom I would agree 100%, but I also understand what it is like when you have to work longer and do freelance work just to put the basics on the table. Great advice but if you don't have a good paying job you have to sacrifice time to provide.

Never give up time with your young kids. Never, for none of this bullshit. Just make both work. Sleep less that's how.

So I found this paper from 2005 that might help solve one of the biggest problems in computer-use agents: Accurate Pointing! The paper is called The Bubble Cursor and the idea is really simple, but kind of genius. Instead of treating the cursor as one tiny pixel, dynamically expand its activation area so it locks onto the nearest valid target. Originally, this made pointing faster for humans. But for AI agents, it solves something bigger. When I say “click Add” or “change this,” the hard part is not reasoning. Its the unnecessary loop of sending your whole screenshot to the LLM and asking it the coordinates for where to click. So I’m combining Bubble Cursor with: - accessibility trees - browser DOM coordinates - on-device OCR - local UI object detection - CUA for actions The goal is simple: - LLM understands intent. - Local OCR and YOLO understands the screen. - Bubble Cursor resolves the target. - Pointer clicks Less screenshot guessing. Less latency. More privacy. I can be super vague about it like "can you click on the big button on the bottom left" and it just knows and I didnt even have to send a screenshot! I want to make the FASTEST and the most Accurate computer use agent which can keep up with the users intent. Shipping out a connector for @OpenAI and @claudeai so that even they can point and click quickly and take actions faster. The paper is by @ToviGrossman and Ravin Balakrishnan.

@mcuban Gotta be careful on wording as Gemini 3.1 Flash-lite on flex is$0.125/m input and $0.75/m output.this would kill my AI tooling by over tripling my costs as it is a ton of input and a little output.

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

@sharaff @tonysimons_ @OpenAI Mac Users spend money more than Windows or Android, very demographic based.

@tonysimons_ @OpenAI My guess is that it’s the demographic. Macs are extremely popular among the engineers / coders. Plus the technical advantages. Apple silicon. Their neural engine among other things. I could be wrong.

Well, that's a real kick in the dick. MacOS only. @OpenAI why do you loathe us Windows users so much? I feel like the green bubble in the group chat right now. On a side note, if anyone has a MacOS device they'd like to donate to a good cause, my DMs are open. (a small ask, I know! 🤣)

@zacbowden They were actually the first many moons ago, and it ticked so many people off they swore them off forever.

Both macOS and Android PC support placing widgets on the desktop. Why doesn't Windows?

@DeryaTR_ Did codex generate the graphics for it too? An all in one tool would be awesome is so.

Created this game completely through ChatGPT Codex on my iPhone, then pushed it to Vercel to publish! I'm outside, far from my computer-but this is no longer a limit to coding with Codex! Amazing experience! I even added some buttons so it also works on iPhone browser! Link below

@JackWoth98 @RhysSullivan Thanks, been using Headless a lot more now. You guys have an amazing product and it is getting better every day, EXCEPT for today it became a bit grumpy. :0)

@RustyOnLife @RhysSullivan Sure thing. If you are using Gemini CLI itself (interactive or headless mode) than use your subscription and oauth login ✅ If you are using a 3rd party harness to access Gemini you need to use an API key currently.

- gemini is really good at landing page design - apparently they are very strict about using it in third party harnesses

@burkeholland Never ask us to do that again! Did not realize how many grey hairs I had lost!

It's Friday. Everyone turn your keyboard over and dump out all the boogers, hair and dead skin.

@hunvreus @Makuh90 Ouch

@Makuh90 Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Sam. Windows users are getting pretty sick of being second tier.

@LCSlates @stripe @Chase it really looks like this guy had a solid case, what In the world?

Well so much for that. Already lost. The system is utterly fucked and broken. @stripe 48-page evidence package.

Student turns in a paper. Send it to AI, generate a 5 question quiz on the content. Student takes the quiz next day on their own paper. If they wrote it, easy. If they didn't, obvious. No detection software. No accusations. Just quiet accountability.

@mattyp @naval I got in trouble at school for doing that, I dont know why they wouldnt count "The Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher" by Molly Bang Maybe it was due to it only having one sentence in it.

“Read what you love until you love to read” @naval

@theoliverxp Someone who understands all this needs to make an AI automated tool that does it all. Either the calls will stop or we all become rich

I started logging calls and sending demand letters for TCPA violations (I have been on the DNC list for 14 years). First time I did this, the company paid me $1500 and this year another company's legal counsel "called my bluff" so I filed suit, settling weeks later for $7500. Many are hard to track down, using virtual mailboxes and registered agents, etc - but there are ways to find them. These dirtbags must pay.

@MrDanielBuck Not "discriminating" against this one is real discrimination against the rest.

Hear me out: Whenever I bring up suspensions or expulsions, the response is “but what are we going to do with those kids?” as if it’s the fault of the system That’s on the parents. They bear final responsibility for that kid, not the school. And other students shouldn’t have their own learning jeopardized because a few children were poorly parented.

@exQUIZitely @StairwayToRetro Wait does the key actually come out of those things?

@StairwayToRetro The tape on teh side... the key for the box. 100% safe!

@LyalinDotCom Much appreciate the example you set.

I know "kind messages about my competitors" are not going to trend or anything, but its exhausting to see all the negativity. I'm not going to play these games

@Osint613 I was pro Iran until I met an Iranian and learned the dynamics, now I am pro Persian and anti IRGC

Gas prices are up and people are losing their minds. Iran doesn’t have a long range nuclear capable missile yet. They can within 5 years. They don’t even need to launch it. They just need to have it, and they completely control us. You’ve seen what a regime like this does with a shipping lane. Think about what they do with a missile that can reach New York. Pay the extra $1.70. Gladly.
