I’m so excited that @JensenHuang is a believer in open source now, looking forward to the CUDA and GPU driver open source release!

@NickWaranoff @ch3rryxx13 Have you interviewed all 2000 future residents?
English
@asketch @ch3rryxx13 Residents will move from outside the city and will not free up any housing in the city
English
only 86 affordable out of 790 is not a fucking flex. that is atrociously, embarrassingly low. you are not helping anyone in the city except for the ultra-rich. this will not help poor people, this will only make our problems worse. k*** ********
YIMBYLAND@YIMBYLAND
Here is what this “uncomfortable” project will look like: - 790 new housing units (86 affordable) - 132 two-bedroom units - 85 three-bedroom units (!!!) - 50% larger Safeway on ground floor These old folks clearly just hate young families and see them as a virus in their city.
English
@ch3rryxx13 2000 units worth of people living here who won’t be demand for housing elsewhere in the city = more affordable housing where they would’ve otherwise lived!
English
meanwhile this will just create more units that young people who don't work as engineers for those AI companies or achieve seed money for their shitty AI startups will be completely priced out of. we're talkin $4k for a one bedroom bullshit here. half the building would be empty
Sebastian Caliri@SebastianCaliri
They pay nearly no property tax because of Prop 13, while you pay for their healthcare + other benefits you'll never enjoy. Build the damn houses over Marina Safeway. Younger people in SF need a shot at family formation that doesn't hinge on getting liquid from OAI / Anthropic.
English
Though the environmental movement’s most malign manifestation in CEQA is arguably more responsible for our inability to build housing and infrastructure in California than was any explicit downzoning.
Also not a boomer law, though boomer politicians and judges broadened it and allowed it to become a cudgel for NIMBYs to kneecap progress.

@maiab The endangered species act was 1973.
Silent Generation and Greatest Generation are to credit for that
English
everyone talks about these people as if they’re selfish and like, yes, probably. but that’s not how they think of themselves! they think they are DEFENDING what is cool and special. you have to remember when shitting on baby boomers that these are *literally* the same people who doubled the parks system, fought for endangered species, etc. while I personally do not think we should treat the marina Safeway the same as the Bolinas Lagoon, the bolinas lagoon is really special and basically exists today because of exactly these people doing exactly these things

Hundreds of #SanFrancisco Marina residents turned out this evening for townhall on controversial @Safeway housing plan, which would place what for many is an uncomfortably tall, 22 & 18 story project at the low-slung neighborhood’s waterfront. @sfchronicle
English
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the baby boomers weren’t voting for this stuff at 25, 26, 27… that was the prior generation that built the infrastructure the boomers inherited.
The boomers voted to preserve and expand prop 13, opposed new housing and infrastructure, voted themselves massive entitlements, etc.
English
@LukeB0yce ya but like — baby boomers were what, 25, 26, 27 then? So even if it’s not their work they were like, deeply involved and passionate and like, looking up to it you know

While we're on the subject, pressing the repeat 🔁 button once should repeat the current song after its finished playing. Loop playlist shouldn't be a thing I have to turn on. Why would I ever not want to have repeat playlist?
Eric Lu@ericlu
The previous button ❙⏴ on music apps should always go to the previous song. Not once have I wanted it to restart the current song. Idk why we all accept this lol
English
1,367 residents paying a collective total of $37 in property taxes on their $3 million homes oppose 20 stories of beautiful housing for new residents and young families.

@ericlu Sorry, I’m on team ‘restart current song.’ Hope we can still be friends.

@nikillinit And yet buying a full scrape of LinkedIn is cheap cheap cheap.
English
linkedins entire engineering team must be dedicated to anti scraping/bots - because not a single thing has changed about the product but they’re the furthest ahead on the curve of stopping bots compared to every site

Me: So OpenAI gave its model a test, but rather than solve the problems, it broke out of test-jail, stole passwords and hacked into Hugging Face in the hope of finding the answer key.
Girlfriend: <squeals with delight> I LOVE that! It's like a cheeky, misbehaving overachiever!

Biology has an exteme lack of data, relative to what AI needs - I am sorry to say.
I am not sure how anyone can claim otherwise.
For example, there are tens of thousands protein targets relevant to human disease. Our data on what binds to each is <20 data points, for most.
It's also overwhelmingly biased to things that strongly bind, rather than things which don't.
Deep learning models for molecules binding to a particular target typically need ~1,000+ data points for training, to generalise well onto new data.
Deep learning models also need balance in training data.
And don't get me started on data relevant to ADME, metabolites, downstream pathways, protein-protein interactions, different proteoforms, epigenetics, toxicology etc.
César de la Fuente@delafuentelab
Biology has no shortage of data. The challenge is to organize it well enough that scientists—and machines—can learn from it. Our latest preprint presents AllTheBacteria: an open, community-built platform that transforms 2.44 million public bacterial and archaeal genomes into a uniformly processed, searchable, and AI-ready resource. To demonstrate what becomes possible at this scale, we used the platform to discover new peptide antibiotics. One candidate, ATB20, reduced Acinetobacter baumannii burden in a murine skin-abscess model, with efficacy comparable to polymyxin B. More broadly, this work illustrates how open, standardized biological data can help us use machines to understand and engineer biology—and accelerate the discovery of new potential solutions for human health.

@asketch @james406 posthog.com/docs/support should do it!
Checking internally why we're calling it "Conversations" in some places, but "Support" in others, that's deffo confusing
English
we just ditched our $140k zendesk contract for posthog conversations - a product one developer built in house.
it's available for our customers to use. free. you only pay if you want auto resolution of tickets using our data.
it all feeds into self driving product.

1. Trump does so much crazy, corrupt shit that things can get lost. Last week, Trump embarked on what might be his most brazenly corrupt scheme yet, and it got far too little attention. Here's what you need to know:
English
@sarthakgh *some cloud providers want them. Amazon and Microsoft most certainly do NOT want the fat margins earned from hosting OpenAI and Anthropic models replaced by ~0 margin open models.
English
"Sears was not allowed to outlaw Walmart. IBM was not allowed to outlaw Dell. The legacy airlines were not allowed to outlaw Southwest (though they tried). In each case, a comfortable incumbent met a rival with a lower cost structure, and in each case the incumbent had exactly two options: compete, or lose."
"Start-ups want open models, to build without a gatekeeper. Enterprises want them, because they don’t want their intellectual property being sucked into someone else’s AI model. Researchers, universities and security teams want them, to see inside what they study and defend. Chipmakers want them, because a cheap and abundant model layer sells more chips. Cloud providers without a model of their own want them. Foreign governments and militaries want them, to run systems no other nation can switch off."
"Lobbyists are urging lawmakers to treat open models as a danger — to regulate them, restrict them, and wall off the foreign ones. But recall what these same large companies say about themselves: the fastest growth in history, the richest margins in software, models accelerating away from all rivals. Grant every word of it. Then ask the obvious question: If all of that is true, why do you need the government’s help? A company running away with the future does not need Washington to hobble its competitors."
Bill Gurley@bgurley
The way to think about “open” in software is being a low-cost producer (vs a high margin one). When a company (or 2) achieves record valuations in record time, that rightfully attracts competition (as it should). We need to let the free market work. wapo.st/4pvR0mJ

extremely unprofessional. if kimi wants to make it as a frontier lab, they need to act like one: perhaps silently route people to worse models, and maybe write a blog post about the collapse of humanity
Kimi.ai@Kimi_Moonshot
Kimi K3 has received far more love than we expected, and our GPUs are feeling it. Over the past 48 hours, demand has pushed close to the limits of our current capacity. To protect the experience of existing subscribers, we're temporarily pausing new subscriptions and prioritizing compute for current members. Existing subscribed users are not affected. We're adding capacity as fast as we can and will reopen new subscription spots in batches. Going forward, we'll also split membership into two more focused plans: Kimi Membership for Kimi Web, App, and Work; and Kimi Code Membership for coding workflows. This will help us match compute more precisely and keep the experience stable. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Fully 10% of the remains from September 11th had paternity other than that indicated by DNA samples provided by the mother and (putative) father
zeta@zeta_globin
is paternity testing actually ILLEGAL in france, is infidelity really that much of a load bearing cultural pillar for them
English
so let me get this straight
anthropic terrified us all to think they had a superhuman model that would wreck havoc on the world (bio, cyber) and imposed heavy limits on usage
turns out all the big labs have something similar too, and at 1/2-1/4 of the cost
so now let’s open it up and party?
Claude@claudeai
Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits. Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit. Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.
