@mattpocockuk might also want to order silicon spray so that cubelets can go brrrr

Roadtesting my /teach skill by seeing if it can teach me to solve a Rubik's cube I like it so much I've ordered a speed cube

@0xBunny and then later at your job you're asked to make this border 1 px thicker

I'm practicing for coding interviews and I can now in less than 2 hours, without generating any code, come up with an asymptotically optimal solution for a problem. It feels amazing.

@DevinSoto @elonmusk space is big

@elonmusk With soo many satellites how do you not accidentally crash a rocket into it?

Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth. Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half. Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.

@davepl1968 but alas

If Microsoft made me CEO? 1) I would issue a Windows Pro SKU that lacked any upsells, bloatware, monetization, coercion of defaults, or unnecessary telemetry. It would be an annual license, enforced by activation. 2) Double down on gaming and backward compatibility as the killer advantage, which ensures PCs remain relevant in the homes and thus minds of decision makers. 3) I'd open-source portions of the Windows shell, WinUI components, utilities, and file system tools (similar to how they open-sourced parts of .NET and VS Code). Let the community fix the jank. 4) Then I'd make bash the default shell one day because I'd had too many Long Islands at lunch.

@_overment I mean, it sounds like you're trying to generate a prompt, and have the model then run the generated prompt as well, all in the same call

@blizzy78 maybe. although I work with meta prompts a lot, and while the broad idea is somewhat similar, in practice it’s nowhere close. unless your definition of a prompt generator is different than mine.

LLMs think by generating tokens. LRMs take this process into their own hands. When you need more control, make the LLM generate the exact tokens you’re asking for. Do it through questions or meta-questions, such as: "What would you ask right now to achieve [goal] with the best possible results? And what could ‘best possible results’ even mean?"

@brave can't it be opt-in instead

Don't want AI in your searches? Brave Search lets you toggle off its AI-powered answers if you prefer a more traditional search experience. To do so, click the gear icon at the top right of Brave Search and disable "Answer with AI."

@elonmusk @micsolana why stop there? I need wasps gone as well

@micsolana Yes

look, they had a nice run, killed hundreds of millions of people, but it's time to gene drive mosquitoes out of existence. fuck it, ticks too.

@MrLovenstein haha this one is awesome

@brave new day, new vulnerability

⚠️ Today's browser update (v1.90.128) contains a fix for a Chromium vulnerability that allows websites to plant hidden scripts via the Background Fetch API. These scripts survive restarts and could be used to track users, run malicious code on their devices, or launch DDoS attacks on others. You may have already received the automatic Brave update on desktop. If not, you can manually update by visiting 'About Brave' in the browser's settings. The Android update is waiting on Google Play Store review and should be out soon.

@nikitabier @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX finally

You were suspended for platform manipulation. On April 11, we announced that a portion of creator revenue would be allocated to original authors of content. Immediately after, you stopped using Video Share, which you had been using for 3 years. Instead, you began to programmatically download-and re-upload other accounts' videos so that the system would credit them as original. The behavior alone was circumstantial. What made it conclusive: you uploaded another user's video with the watermark cropped out. You deliberately attempted to manipulate the payout formula. We don't pay people who cheat the program.

@MidnightInvestr @davepl1968 thank you for your service

@blizzy78 @davepl1968 It burns

Crazy example of how to remove sticky Duct Tape from Toilet Paper... I think the chemical in question is primarily Heptane. It seems to "deactivate" the chemical bonding of the glue, at least temporarily. Pretty magical for stickers, etc. It's on Amazon at amzn.to/4uyHqBe Whereas Goo Gone is a citrus oil and leaves a residue, heptane seems to evaporate entirely cleanly. As I understand it, solvents like heptane actually work by temporarily penetrating and SWELLING that adhesive layer temporarily, which renders it useless. What happens chemically: The solvent diffuses into the adhesive. The polymer chains separate and soften. The adhesive loses cohesive strength and tack. The sticker can slide or peel away cleanly. The solvent rapidly evaporates. The remaining adhesive either re-hardens or comes off with the label.

@MidnightInvestr @davepl1968 only one way to find out

@davepl1968 What happens if you use the toilet paper afterward?

@Samaugsch @TTomTToro ever try looking into the sun?

@TTomTToro Why is an eye doctor asking him this?

will be very interesting to see the post mortem on this one

@Youssofal_ @elonmusk

@elonmusk Thank you for this lawsuit, the gossip that came out of it was amazing.

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

I have developed a rule of thumb for when it's best to code by hand. If I don't understand the problem super well, I'll start digging in with an agent and gaining familiarity. However, if after 10-15 minutes of prompting, the solution isn't something that I feel I could implement myself, it's time to go do it by hand. I do it the way I did pre-AI. Finding the relevant code, reading and understanding it, and trying out various ideas. Usually when I'm about 30-50% done, the system is mapped out really well in my mind, and all that remains is execution. Then I'll write up a detailed spec and ask the agent for feedback. It almost always finds edge cases I didn't consider and "gets" where I'm going with it. I let the agent take it forward and also have it do the things I usually don't have patience for, like TDD and running all the tests and whatnot. The grunt work. What's nice is that I am fully qualified to review the code afterward and, not only that, any future agentic work on that system is easier. I understand it better because I did the manual work. It's still really fast and it makes future work faster. It's this kind of hybrid human + agent workflow that makes me feel superhuman.

@burkeholland see that's why I buy a new one every now and then

It's Friday. Everyone turn your keyboard over and dump out all the boogers, hair and dead skin.

@Everlier @mattpocockuk does it ever rename separate things the same? of course you could always try another pull of the lever 🤔

@mattpocockuk I ask my agent ot do "ontology defragmentation", it compacts, cleans up and merges similar things together

One painful thing about /grill-with-docs (and shared language in general) is the moment you realise you've been using the wrong word for something DDD-folks, do you ever do a refactor just to change the name of something throughout the codebase? In my case, it's a feature in my video where I break the video into sections. I call them ClipSections, but OBVIOUSLY they should be called Chapters. This is yet more obvious now I'm integrating with other tools, all of which call them chapters. Worth a refactor?
