@killedbygoogle what？

rip google keep

muxy is a breeze

i can feel the acceleration brought in by AI these days.

@zaobaosg you know what, you're a looser

@alliekmiller what the hell is fde

The most expensive mistake in enterprise AI right now: treating FDEs as your whole transformation plan. Forward deployed engineers (FDEs) are important for custom deployments, but they won’t fix the change management issue most enterprises are facing. It’s likely more the former that Anthropic and OpenAI will continue to prioritize (and hire into the thousands, who knows). Beyond performance and cost, it’s systems integration, ROI, and literal usefulness that drive revenue and stickiness. *However* External FDEs, in my opinion, will not make your company an AI-first company. You can have the sleekest multi-agent orchestrations and still have the majority of your employee base hating AI, avoiding AI, and distrusting leadership decisions on AI. And we already know this because we see this in traditional SaaS too: you can customize the heck out of your Salesforce deployment, but that doesn’t mean your sales team will improve their data hygiene or even attempt to change the way they track and grow with it. Buying a fancier car doesn’t mean you magically learn to drive better overnight. If you’re an enterprise exec and FDEs are sold as the immediate and sole solution to your company transformation woes, walk away. It’s the combination of tech *and* people enablement *and* process reinvention that compounds into actual business outcomes. Large complex enterprises will stall out if they only prioritize the first.

@steipete r u sure

Kudos to Microsoft, they're helping to get OpenClaw ready for enterprises.

@esrtweet if rust is readable, which language isn't?

Choice of language for software projects has become a very different game now that we have robot friends to do most of our code generation and translation for us. I have people wondering why I just shipped a project in Rust when I don't like the language and don't hand-code in it myself. I did this because I am adjusted to current reality, and now I'm going to talk about that. The age of hand-coding is mostly over. It no longer matters as much whether the computer language I use is comfortable to my hand, only whether the robot friend I'm using can generate it at high quality. It also matters whether I can read the language, because I am going to want to run my eyeball over it to review the code. Rust meets that bar - I find it kind of spiky but basically readable. Rust is a good deployment language for me to choose when (a) I want solid memory-safety guarantees, and (b) the code is already mature and I don't expect to need to do exploratory programming or serious feature development on it in the future. In particular, this makes Rust a good place for me to land my old C projects. Which is why in the last couple of months I have migrated two of them to Rust. C to Rust translation by robots is cheap and easy now; I will probably continue to do this. Each time I get a bug report on one of these projects in the future, boing! Rusticated. You may believe that Rustacea is stuffed with Communists and sexual deviants. You might even be right. I don't have to care whether that's true anymore, because I have a robot friend who is in all relevant ways smarter than they are. The wider lesson here is that the developer and user community around a language doesn't matter as much as it used to in whether you should get involved with it. Because in the future, we're going to be relying on human community brains less and artificial intelligences more. And that future is now. Not everything C gets moved to Rust, though. I lifted cvs-fast-export to Golang instead, because I think it's fairly likely that I'm going to have to do significant development work on it is in the future, so the payoff from a language I'm more comfortable reading and modifying by hand goes up. I'm certainly never going to start a project in C again. What would be the point, other than masochism? I spent 40 years writing C and I'm very good at it, but I will cheerfully leave it and it's buffer overruns and its heap corruption and its undefined behaviors and its portability problems behind. It helps that my robot friends are good at writing C code that doesn't have those problems, but...why even go there? Why expose yourself to those risks if the robot misses something? These days I do my exploratory programming in Python or Golang. My robot friends are extremely good at generating code in both those languages. I think they're slightly higher leverage on Golang, possibly due to that language having a smaller surface? Python used to be my favorite language. I soured on it for a while after the 2-to-3 transition was massively botched, and the GIL meant concurrency in it was a disaster area, and managing library dependencies became an even bigger disaster area. I'm a little happier with Python now that I can declare strict typing and uv has reduced dependency pain somewhat. But I think if I think I'm going to have to write anything much larger than a glue script in Python, I just shrug and reach for Golang instead. I'm very comfortable in Golang. Over time, I'll probably migrate my older Python projects to Golang because that's cheap and easy now and the performance win can be quite significant. I don't know what other languages I'm going to be using in the future. I do know that choosing a development language is a much less grave commitment than it used to be, because if it turns out to be not well suited for the job I'm doing, I can simply have my robot friend translated to a better one.

@OpenAI say what

Today we’re launching the OpenAI Deployment Company to help businesses build and deploy AI. It's majority-owned and controlled by OpenAI. It brings together 19 leading investment firms, consultancies, and system integrators to help organizations deploy frontier AI to production for business impact. openai.com/index/openai-l…

@GrailArchive ugly as shit

530 horsepower. LiDAR. 11 cameras😱. 12 ultrasonic sensors. The Aito M9 isn’t just a luxury SUV it’s a technology statement on wheels. Huawei cooked here

@ClaudeCodeLog didn't you say loop is goal?

Claude Code 2.1.139 has been released. 50 CLI changes, 1 system prompt change Highlights: • Added /goal command to run tasks across turns until a set completion condition, with live elapsed/turns/tokens • System prompt compaction is now silent (no trimming alert), which may obscure that prompts were trimmed • Compaction prompt asks model to preserve sensitive instructions, reducing loss of user intent during trimming Full details are in thread ↓

@haider1 that's great news isn't it?

bad news LLMs are starting to look like they're hitting a wall

@levelsio @gossipaddress i always wonder, if such so called config exist, why is not the default?

@gossipaddress You can do 72,000 serial writes per second though with a properly configured SQLite install

SQLite is great until you need concurrent writes

@mr_r0b0t how does one use it with claude code

Be me: Sign up for DeepSeek API because everyone is saying how reasonably priced it is. Load up $50, let’s see. 30 minutes in, here’s where we’re at using V4-Pro

@aerockrose outsource thinking?

Yesterday, Andrej Karpathy gave a 30-minute Sequoia masterclass on agentic engineering. This is the serious layer above vibe coding. He explained: - LLMs as ghosts - The app that shouldn't exist - Outsource thinking, not understanding 12 lessons that will blow your mind: 🧵

@Snooker147Lover 😂

«Who let the dog out? Wu! Wu! Wu!» This lad is brilliant.🔥 #WorldChampionship

@Snooker_Chat xintong seems to be a nice kid. i am ok with the transition

Zhao Xintong said he did not enjoy his second round battle with Ding Junhui despite being the winner. Zhao is a step closer to defending his world crown after beating his hero 13-9. He said: "We knew everyone had their eyes on us. I couldn't enjoy it." #snooker Pic: BBC

@DarrenMcGowan71 😂

@WeAreWST zhao looks happier damn

A "world class" Ding shot helps him draw level at 4-4 with the defending champ #worldchampionship
