My thoughts on AI: we're going to see a "rising tide" effect. People in high-COL areas won't notice it, but companies looking to save money (usually those with the worst services) will adopt AI to make employees more productive. This will do two things: 1. Increase employee productivity 2. Reveal that some employees were grossly unproductive, bordering on negligence, with AI serving as a bulwark against ineffective human performance. Take hospitals as an example. If we identify that 0.01% of nurses nationwide falsify charts, leading to cases where a patient has been expired for hours, yet the chart claims vitals were checked 30 minutes ago, that's the impact of the rising tide effect. Most won't notice the cumulative lives saved, because AI is addressing areas where the bar is so low that it acts more as a crack-sealer than a paradigm-shifting, exponential sci-fi growth vehicle.

@WallStreetApes Did the people moving from Jersey really think that other people from Jersey weren't going to turn Florida into Jersey? Is this surprising people?

American shows the new META AI Data Center being constructed in Florida She drives to show the entire area as far as you can see on both sides of the road is farmland Then she drives by and shows how much farmland has been wiped out by this META Data Canter Insane

@lydiahallie What does "peak-hour limits are tighter" mean, I don't use this platform daily but I do remember this from a few weeks ago.

Peak-hour limits are tighter and 1M-context sessions got bigger, that's most of what you're feeling. We fixed a few bugs along the way, but none were over-charging you. We also rolled out efficiency fixes and added popups in-product to help avoid large prompt cache misses

Thank you to everyone who spent time sending us feedback and reports. We've investigated and we're sorry this has been a bad experience. Here's what we found:

@odd_joel Will check this out thank you!

been using mosh protocol instead of SSH for this — sessions survive phone sleep and network switches so you never have to reconnect. I use Moshi as the mobile terminal, it handles mosh natively plus has on-device voice input which helps a lot when typing on a phone. also sends push notifications when long-running tasks finish so you know when to check back

I run claude cli in WSL and /remote-control works 60% of the time. Dispatch is on Claude Desktop which isn't on linux. Anyone have a consistent way to do work from their phone that doesnt include terminus + tmux?

Can someone use AI to take that scene where The Architect in The Matrix says "and we have become exceedingly efficient at it" except it's Tiger Woods talking about crashing Range Rovers

ok now about that no boots on the ground thing

@owroot Speak for yourself, we've gone full circle in @ShopRiteStores in New Jersey. You order online and they come out to your car. Eventually I hope my car can just drive there itself and come back with my groceries.

They used to push your groceries out to your car. Then they stopped it and they had the baggers. Then the baggers disappeared and so did the checkout worker. Finally we are left with self check out.

@AzFlin I switched my major to business because lab hours in STEM major would reduce my working hours I needed to fund my education. You are so spot on.

AI has not changed much in regards to human talent tbh cracked people are still cracked. retarded people are still retarded but there is one interesting case - the previously non-technical guy that is coding prolifically they were meant to be coders b4 but were lead astray

Why do people bend when the blades are evidently higher than them? I'm curious 😫😂

@congressdj I use my Tesla dashcam to send videos to the busing companies when things like this happen. They are always responsive. Can't wait until this is all autonomous

Tesla FSD saves a school bus full of children! My Model Y Performance braked so hard that everything on my seats ended up on the floor. It infuriates me that school bus drivers are allowed to be this bad at driving. In an autonomous future, more lives will be saved like this.

@GrahamHelton3 Reaching an age where I wish there was RSS feeds for obituaries in my area. Millennials don't read the paper anymore and that's going to be a gap as we age.

I'm literally begging people to start collecting, curating, and reading RSS feeds to get a good pulse in what's going on in the industry. There is no better concentrated source of information than a well curated RSS feed.

@PA_Supremacist Fun fact, you can tell if someone is from NJ entirely based on how they pronounce "Lancaster"

Lancaster is so amazing I love it. If I was looking for a place to live outside of the metro-Philadelphia area Lancaster would be my first choice. It also is great that there are 15 Amtrak round trips there each day to Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and New York City

@morganlinton That's a lot better of an explanation than when I asked it to do that in its own abstract way.

I’ve found myself explaining LLMs to more and more friends and family. One component I’ve been covering a lot lately is model weights. If you aren’t totally clear on what these are, here’s a simple(ish) overview - no calculus knowledge required. A “what the heck are model weights” 🧵

@n4hpg @Will_W_Welker @heynavtoor What are your thoughts on using JTSync when NTP is down? dxshell.com/jtsync.html

@Will_W_Welker @heynavtoor JS8Call is based upon FT8. FT8 requires precise time synchronization of the computers participating on the channel. 99.99% of FT8 users use the Internet for NTP - Network Time Protocol. Without NTP, clock drift kills it. VaraHF and RTTY work and are easier.

🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down. It's called Project N.O.M.A.D. A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses. No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works. Here's what's packed inside: → A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline) → All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable → Offline maps of any region you choose → Medical references and survival guides → Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking → Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef → Document upload with semantic search (local RAG) Here's the wildest part: A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker. Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free. One command to install. 100% Open Source. Apache 2.0 License.

@aakashgupta Trees are starting to come out of my 74 year old development. After a while all the trees started crushing the terracotta sewer line and homeowners started suing the town. Home values weren't impacted

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@elvissun @keithso27 It's factorio IRL

@keithso27 you don't have enough ideas the depth I go to save on tokens man x.com/elvissun/statu…

if you have unused weekly limits the best way to burn them is just spamming fan-out deep research in cc/codex: - 0 review cycles needed - context-dense files you reuse forever - no slop generated (it's source material, not final output) - feeds into content, product, marketing or competitor intel later ran 22 parallel research agents to burn through ~15% of weekly usage in 20 minutes. tokens very well spent.

@dansemperepico @nicky_sap After a session ask Claude which permissions it asked you to approve. Then after reviewing ask it to add those to your allow list.

@nicky_sap Will have to look into this. Wouldn't know what to globally accept/deny.

You guys all run Claude Code with claude --dangerously-skip-permissions right? Because otherwise how in the world can you sit there accepting every single permission when building something?

It's the moment that sent me down this whole path. My son is 3 and I just wanted to see if Codex could make a Flappy Bird clone that made a fart instead of a flap noise. I showed it to him and he immediately said, "Make it Santa!" I made it Santa. Then he said, "Make it a banana" and so I made it banana. Next thing you know I realize we're iterating on video game levels based on a three-year-old's feedback. That blew my mind and reinforced my opinion that the future is going to be bespoke software. So I started learning the tools and here we are!

I'm collecting stories from folks who've had a genuine 'this changes everything' moment with AI coding. What was yours?
