@ericlbarnes You could always get your President to give FIFA a call…

Really wanted Norway to advance. 😭

@JeremyClarkson Williams.

One day, I hope Hawkstone is big enough to sponsor an F1 team. But which one?

@felixrieseberg Which is easy to say when there's no bill to pay. Until you make models available at lower cost, no one is going to let your model loose with responsibilities.

Today, we're introducing Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, two configurations of our next major language model. I'd normally highlight the numbers: It's SOTA on nearly all benchmarks. I want to talk about something else, because with Fable 5 out in the world, I think a third era quietly started today. I lead Claude Code & Cowork on the desktop, so I think a lot about how people use AI to get work done. I believe we're about to see a major shift, moving from giving AI tasks to giving it responsibilities.

Is Claude borked or have I been banned? I didn't do it, honestly. (Pi - stop using claude, switch to get-5.4)

@badlogicgames Acqui-hired by Dario?

big news tomorrow. BIG NEWS. the biggest of news.

@ChShersh Tell me you’re actually mid-level without telling me you’re mid-level

An SWE came to me and asked a very basic question. I assumed he’s a Junior. Later, I learned he gives a talk, so I attended. Turns out, the guy is cracked as hell. He described a highly complex low-latency lock-free multithreaded system (sub-10 ns hot path processing) he built.

@adamwathan @IanLandsman Are you seriously suggesting that naked financial incentive is the only reason for doing anything? We’re a little more grown up in the more mature civilisations.

@IanLandsman Name any incentive anyone there besides the owner has to serve you, seriously try as hard as you can.

Been in this restaurant for 10 min. Nobody has given me a menu yet. The American in me does not enjoy this aspect of Europe.

@andyw4 How do you test changes? Preview environments?

I am curious, how are you using coding agents most of the time? I notice that I am spending way less time in an IDE and most of the time in a terminal and browser. The IDE part almost feels like only applying polish to something. Of course I could just use an agent in my IDE but for some reason that doesn't click for me most of the times.

@marcelpociot The agent workflow follows tdd - a testing specialist writes tests (backend and e2e) before an implementor is given the work. There’s a reviewer checking the work at multiple points returning it to implementor if it fails standards. Everything is logged in draft pr. then preview

@ashleyhindle Been using Minimax today with my orchestrator through opencode, surprised me how good it appears to be. And fast compared to Opus

codex built me a benchmark system for fuel ⛽ And honestly, minimax-2.1 through opencode is doing crazy well 🤯 When I'm not at my token limits, I'll add an AI code review LLM-as-a-judge for a 'quality score' and share more in depth insights 🙏

@steveschoger blacksmith.sh

My SaaS app design inspo folder was looking a little stale, so I started a fresh one. Here’s what’s in the new one so far — what else should I add?

@ollieread Go + htmx brings back a lot of the joy of having control back for me…

I’m not enjoying working with Laravel as much as I used to. I recognise that the direction it’s going in works well for the company, and even the niche the framework wants to fill. I just don’t like it, and I find myself sort of stumped for what to do.

@mmartin_joo @wjgilmore @anonymous_ax5 @wafto @edlugz Nice - thanks mate. Reading now

Thanks everyone for the replies! I sent out 5 copies to: - @wjgilmore - @anonymous_ax5 - @andyw4 - @wafto - @edlugz

🎉 Who wants to be the first person to look at my new, 90% finished book "Building a database engine"? It will be released on the 8th of April. I will choose a few people from the replies and retweets!

@mmartin_joo I'd love to take a peek @mmartin_joo

@TablePlus Documentation says it's not. 'If you need to sync connections between devices, it's not supported yet but we will add'. That's been the case for at least 2 years. Shared connections is the biggest pain-point in your app for teams.

@andyw4 Already has this feature

We are working on TablePlus 7.0, which is scheduled for release in mid-2025. Rollout slowly: - A brand-new UI design: We are redesigning the entire app for the first time. - A revamped SQL export: new design, more features, faster. -Focus on plugins: allowed 3rd party plugins and documents. - Enhanced diagrams and metrics board: adding more features and components.

@JeremyClarkson You should fly a pair of red trousers in honour of your local council

There’s a flagpole in the garden of my new pub and I’m wondering what sort of flag should be flown up there.

🎄✨ Merry Christmas to all of our followers! ✨🎄 At e-Track, we're grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to serving you with innovative solutions in the coming year!

@jeffrey_way Love this for something a bit different... youtube.com/watch?v=PwT3wt…

Very hard for a new Christmas movie to enter the rotation at this point, but give me your essential watches. Mine: - Home Alone 1 + 2 - Muppet Christmas Carol - Miracle on 34th Street - Jingle all the Way - A Christmas Story - Elf - Love Actually - Emmet Otter... - The Grinch
