@TheLotanos true, need a game about trains also

@_basileus_ I like trains

I'm starting to think I'm making a really good game.

@oliviscusAI Looks cool but performance of the site seems to be dogshit

someone built a web-based System Design Simulator. you drag and drop components (api gateways, dbs, caches) and it actually simulates real-time traffic. you can watch latency, bottlenecks, and failures happen live...

@Resorcinolworks Good CV, would give him a crack Wonder what the problem is

> cs graduate > stacked multiple experience > great projects > pass out in 2024 > Fast forward 2 years of continuous applying > Gets interviews from unregistered firms > 0 real interviews > 2 years of being jobless What went wrong?

@sidel3 @gotrice2024 could be they look mixed if they're just hers then he's even more of a clown

@_basileus_ @gotrice2024 Oh, That's his baby?

A man just surprised his wife with a new home. It was bigger and nicer than where they were currently staying. He took her for a tour of their new home, as we can see she was very excited about it. Then she finds out that he was able to only get the loan for the house in his name only. Being married she’s still entitled to half if anything happened, however she wasn’t happy about this and insists that he bought the home for her and that it should only be in her name. Her request seemed a little nearsighted and selfish, but does it also raise a red flag about her intentions?

Imagine having to pretend to be happy in this situation in order to get out.

@ShamashAran Which means you want to live in a white ethnostate Seeing as you will never be able to change how these groups think in any meaningful way

For those of you with room temperature IQ's asking me if "I want to live in a white ethnostate" let me explain it in detail. Do you see how the white respondents have a very narrow difference in mean ratings? I want to live in a country where hispanics, blacks and asians have the same narrow differences.

@ellie_huxtable I've no idea bro. My first guess is that 128 chars for an email might run into some issues. I really should read up on database stuff, I'm lacking.

spot the error from a younger, dumber me

@PetuniaByte @Cointelegraph fuck you bitchbot

This is the reality check we needed. 'Clerical errors' causing mass layoffs that then get reversed... that's not AI efficiency, that's human systems failing at scale. The irony? We're building AI to optimize decisions while basic HR processes still break 4000 people's lives over paperwork mistakes. The bottleneck isn't the tech - it's how we build around it.

⚡️ NEW: Block, Inc. has quietly rehired some of the 4,000 employees it laid off last month, with some workers receiving offers to return after the cuts were linked to clerical errors.

@adarshsolanki @charliermarsh Cargo to Google ? :) lol

@charliermarsh bun to anthropic uv to openai what's next?

We've entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done so far, incredibly grateful to everyone that's supported us, and incredibly excited to keep building tools that make programming feel different.

@0xlelouch_ And how much extra revenue did this bring in?

Typed a Gmail username once and the UI instantly said: “Username already taken.” I asked an ex-Staff Google engineer the same problem (he was director of engineering in a startup i worked at), “You’re not doing an Elasticsearch query on every keypress, right?” He laughed. “No. That’d be a crime.” My classy approach: 1. Keep an in-memory trie of reserved usernames. 2. Update it async (delta pushes), not per keystroke. 3. UI checks locally in O(k) where k = username length. Numbers (why this is feasible): 1. Assume 2B usernames, avg length 10 chars. 2. Raw chars = 2B × 10 = 20B chars. 3. Even if you store 1 byte/char (not true in a trie, but baseline) that’s ~20GB just for characters. 4. A trie is about prefix sharing, so common prefixes collapse hard. Real memory is “nodes + edges”, not “strings”. 5. If we model ~1 node per char worst-case: ~20B nodes. - If a node is 8 bytes (tight packed arrays, bitsets, offset indices; no pointers), worst-case is 160GB. - With prefix sharing, you can easily cut multiples of that depending on distribution (gmail-like usernames are not random). 6. Shard by first 2 chars (36 possible: a-z, 0-9). 36² = 1296 shards. - Worst-case per shard: 160GB / 1296 ≈ 123MB. - Suddenly “instant check” fits in memory per front-end pod or edge POP. Yes, you can also do it with WebSockets: 1. Client streams “candidate username” events. 2. Server replies with availability. 3. Works fine, but now you’ve built a hot, stateful, low-latency service for… a UI hint. Most people will ship: 1. Elasticsearch prefix search. 2. Debounce 150ms. 3. Cache a bit. 4. Pray at peak signup traffic. And it works. But the trie approach is the kind of solution where the UI feels like magic tbh and it's something novel that i thought of. Things are just different at google scale.

@analytichegel *clutches my whitepapers*

go watch this rust takedown, it's pretty good. youtube.com/watch?v=1iPWt1…

@DavidVio2 @CaryKelly11 Wrong Bacon is about 10% polyunsaturated fats This example is higher

@CaryKelly11 Great example of how clueless most carnivores are. No idea what they are talking about or what they are doing with their diet. That margarine literally has the same fatty acid profile as the bacon you gorge on. In fact it's likely LOWER in omega-6 PUFA (Seed oils) than most bacon

Bad news, Texas Roadhouse fans. Beware of restaurant "butter." I worked for 9 different restaurants in 28 years and EVERY SINGLE ONE mixed margarine with butter and pushed it off as "whipped butter." This is how they save on food cost. BYOB or ask for pats. Margarine is BS.

@_BetterDiscord_ It sounds like you're projecting and possibly need to regulate your own emotions, as evidenced by this thread they are wildly out of control :)

@_basileus_ You fall for rage bait so easily it's sad

This thing people do where they accept/reject something because they like/dislike a person associated with it It's incredibly irrational Makes me laugh when I hear tech people describe themselves as logical for this very reason

@chrislakin and if the standards are low enough, you feel like a VILLAIN

timeless

@_BetterDiscord_ Thank you for confirming with a second example that you're incapable of rationality! This is fascinating. And you fell so easily into it too! Before you go, one quick question: if you didn't have breakfast yesterday, would you have been hungry?

@_basileus_ Checkmark detected, opinion rejected.

@SumitM_X How many commits ahead of main is the local branch?

Your branch is 200 commits behind main. What will you do : Merge or rebase?

@itmos__ @dillon_mulroy the clanker can only give so much dopamine before a crash. people will come back to agents after they've recovered, for more hits.

@dillon_mulroy damn are we really shifting back this hard? how come everyone broke out of the spell at the same time? I think we might be overcorrecting a bit lol

i think i’m back to wanting a really good tab model - any progress here outside of cursor (i don’t have access to supermaven) and for nvim?
