Your AI's favorite coding language is also the one it's worst at. I built the same feature across @coolhand_labs's Ruby, TypeScript, and Python SDKs — and tracked every token. Python lost every time.

I've been thinking about Claude skills wrong. They're not prompt collections — they're opinionated interfaces for approaching a task. The best skills are Socratic interlocutors, not knowledge dumps.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Today in things that make me proud to be Mayor: PS 889's ‘Hyper Pigmentation’ are officially two-time Minecraft champions at the City's Annual Video Game Festival.  Gaming is a largely male-dominated industry, but teams like Hyper Pigmentation show us it doesn't have to be. As New York City remains a top recruiter of gaming jobs, we're also making sure the next-generation of engineers and game designers look more like our city.

Open source is under pressure — and AI is making it worse, not better. In part 2 of my series, I propose an alternative: Community Skills — small, expert-maintained LLM skill libraries that pool knowledge rather than chase compatibility. open.substack.com/pub/everything…

Going to be hard in 2020 for the Internet to top this comment on Masayoshi Son’s self-comparison to Jesus.

Great thread. Chinese philosophy has also been victimised by nonsense, guru-ist translation. I even recall arguments one mystical Western translator arguing you didn’t need to know Chinese to translate the Daodejing... that it somehow transcended lingual and cultural context 🤦🏻‍♂️
Persian Poetry in English@PersianPoetics

Thread: The Orientalizing of Moulana Rumi Many of you may be familiar with the 'Rumi quotes' that circulate the internet. What if I told you the vast majority of them are fake and they are part of a project to secularize Rumi? This isn't a whatsapp conspiracy.

Wow. @Casper ’s market cap today is **less than the money it raised in its Series C** in 2017. I suspect this spells the end of VCs showering money on flashy new consumer brands for a while. Hopefully all the money they spent on subway ads did some good for the MTA at least?

@lyft why is there no way I’m your app to report a driver that accepted a ride and then left us waiting for 25 min in the cold while he stopped for a while and then went in a different direction before I was forced to cancel?
