NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, after realizing that Google, Anthropic, and Meta are all designing their own AI chips
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Anthropic reportedly considering designing its own AI chips to reduce dependence on Nvidia.

The low 64KB starting at address 0 are reserved on both Windows and Linux (although that value can be changed on Linux), so, unless your struct size is > 64 KB, this code will fault if r is null. The compiler is not entirely correct in removing the check, though, since the struct might be > 64KB, or the reserved area may be shorter on Linux, in which cases the dereference may succeed.

@MaxBrodeurUrbas @satyanadella This article from an ex Azure engineer should give you all the insights you need: isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsof…
English

.@satyanadella I am begging you. take 10 minutes and try to use azure
microsoft is literally doing a disservice to mankind by putting this software into the world
set up an Oauth app, try to build something in the ms ecosystem
you need to see it to believe how bad it is

A few things: 1) Kudos if it’s true. 2) 55K audience helps. Kudos for that, too, but you don’t start from scratch. 3) WTF with those comments? Success has nothing to do with “vibe coding” or Claude Code. It has to do with identifying a problem shared by many and providing a solution people are willing to pay for.
English

$5,747 MRR. Up 186% from last month.
Built with Claude Code and Claude Opus 4.6.
I didn't write a single line of code.
Every feature. Every bug fix. Every deployment.
All vibe coded.
ViewCreator v2 just launched.
BridgeSpace growing.
BridgeBench expanding.
The growth curve is real.
Day 159 of vibe coding an app until I make $1,000,000.
Consistency is the key.

@MattRosoff @ThomasClaburn @Techmeme "Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment." well there is at least one fully vetted incontrovertible sentence in there.

In which @ThomasClaburn talks to Axel Rietschin about his damning history of Azure and how bad technical decisions were made by upper management along the way - tip @Techmeme

@SawyerB47631 @AntiLeftMemes You've never been to Tel Aviv, have you? The world is larger than Texas.

@AntiLeftMemes I like the gun, but from what I can see, it is plastic, so either she's holding it for a child or buying it for herself. Both are okay. This also looks to be a mall. It's quite obvious its plastic.

Writing code is becoming extinct.
Let's face it: Software Engineering is moving towards the orchestration of multiple agents running in parallel.
I'm now spending 80% of my time reviewing code and only 20% writing it, and even this split might be outdated soon.
Tools are moving in this direction as well.

@bridgemindai Why are they throttling? Traffic ik but their infra should scale: it’s hosted on Azure since last November 🙃 If it does *not* scale don’t blame Anthropic (except for their choice)
English

Cancelling worked.
Anthropic just acknowledged the Claude Code rate limit issue.
GitHub issue #41788.
Max plan users hitting 100% in 70 minutes after v2.1.89.
Thousands cancelled.
Thousands switched to Codex with GPT 5.4.
Now they're fixing it.
Your wallet is the only feedback AI companies listen to.
Keeping my eye on Claude Opus 4.6 usage today.
If limits are back to normal, I resubscribe.
Stay tuned.

@_trish_xD You forgot realloc(). It’s perfectly valid to malloc(0) and the pointer returned must be valid. You say some [C runtimes] return a null, file a bug.
English

malloc(0) is legal C.
let that sink in for a second.
some compilers return NULL. some return a valid pointer you can't dereference but CAN free().
both behaviors are correct according to the C standard.
you can allocate zero bytes of memory, get a pointer to nothing, and then dutifully free that nothing.
and the language just shrugs and says "yeah that's fine."
this is why C developers have trust issues.

@jankrom123 91.68 is one nine. Abysmal. Basic is three nines at 99.9%
English

Someone should get a polymarket bet going on if GitHub is more likely to get to two 9s by hitting 91.69% or drop down to zero 9s in the 80s
Arnav Gupta@championswimmer
Github is down to a single 9 of reliability at this point.... cc: @ThePrimeagen
English

@mkempey @ThePrimeagen You know that 97% is abysmal, right? Any commercial platform should be at least at 99.9%, a standard “three nine” SLA and even that isn’t spectacular, just basic.
English

@ThePrimeagen Genuine question, how are they calculating the uptime? The service uptime on that page is all >= 97%. I must be missing something obvious.
English

@StockSavvyShay I trust their research but not their infra. Long story why: open.substack.com/pub/isolveprob…
English

@SapphoSys *If* hosted on Azure (and it looks like it is after the acquisition) then this comes as no surprise. That platform does not work very well. Here is the long story: open.substack.com/pub/isolveprob…
