did you know cloudflare encrypts the internet using a wall of lava lamps?
100 of them sit in their SF lobby. a camera films the chaos, the images get hashed, and the result seeds the cryptographic keys for ~20% of global web traffic.
the london office uses a wall of double pendulums.
the austin office uses hanging rainbow mobiles.
the singapore office uses a chunk of uranium in a glass jar.
just in case the lava lamps stop being weird enough.

@dabit3 Compiled languages are the biggest unlock for agents
English
I've been thinking about this a lot: now that agents can fluently write systems languages like Rust and Go, the long-standing reason to default to Python or TypeScript (developer ergonomics) no longer holds
harder, faster languages are the rational choice for new projects, not what you enjoy writing the most

@anitakirkovska Claude Code as a harness is better. Unfortunately the Opus model just keeps getting worse.
English
@bradgessler REST is kind of a bad idea though. Why do we have POST PUT and PATCH and everyone uses them differently
English
It's insane how much unnecessary complexity and bugs are created through a lack of understanding of HTTP and REST.
English
@bcherny the real reason people are abandoning Claude Code in droves isn't the harness. It's the model. Opus 4.7 just feels like a regression in so many ways.
English
@bcherny @DavidKPiano The consensus is Opus 4.7 is a major regression. Release Mythos before everybody switches to Codex

@DavidKPiano Hey, Boris from the team here. What can we do better?

Sam Altman@sama
would you call it a superapp?
English
A good argument against “just use bash and grep for everything”:
Grep doesn’t read your gitignore files and searches through unrelated garbage that forces you to truncate the search results.
English
@mojombo We still call pocket supercomputers "phones" so...
English
My friends and I got tired of saying "agentic coding" all the time so now we just say "genting".
As in, "sorry, I can't come to your party, I'm going to be genting all night."
We started saying it ironically, because it sounds ridiculous, but now it just feels normal. LOL language. I'm curious what we will call "coders" in the future, when we no longer write any code.
What do YOU say you're doing these days?

Companies like Lovable, Base44, Replit, and Netlify use AI to let anyone build a web app in seconds—and in thousands of cases, spill highly sensitive data onto the public internet. wired.com/story/thousand…

William J.B. Mattingly@wjb_mattingly
Parsing 3.6 million historical names with frontier models was too slow, too expensive, and inaccurate. We switched to small, fine-tuned Qwen 3.5 models and hit 96% accuracy. The secret wasn't just the model size—it was the format.

I didn't get to go to the Codex party but at least I got 10x Codex limits. What should I build?
English
@andruyeung Yes but some of the best founders are also peolle who can't/won't get a normal job
English
It seems like being a venture-backed founder is the new default if you can't find a job.
Seeing a lot more new grads and MBAs starting companies because of the impossible job market. None of them are bootstrapping; they're all trying to raise VC.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
My default assumption is that it is a GOOD thing because more entrepreneurs = more innovation.
Startups are essentially business/tech/distribution experiments. The more we have, the more shots on goal.
But I also can't help but think that there is adverse selection playing out here.
These entrepreneurs are starting companies because they can't get jobs, not because they have a unique insight.
So what you get is lower quality operators, less original ideas. Some call these 'tourist' founders (they quit after 12m)
We'll see how this plays out in the next five to ten years.

@GeoffreyHuntley Typescript is definitely not good for humans

@svpino How does that save context? The markdown file is the same number of tokens
English
I'm spending so much time managing context, and I hate it.
Here is a tip for you: don't use /compact any more in Claude Code. There's a much better option.
/compact takes your entire conversation history in memory and compresses it into a summary. This frees up tokens, but you'll lose a ton of important details (sometimes up to 70% of what matters!).
On top of that, the summarized context is still tied to the current session and won't persist beyond it.
Here is what you should do instead:
1. Dump the entire conversation history to a markdown file
2. Call /clear to clear the context
3. Start your next prompt by pointing to the markdown file
There are several advantages to doing this:
1. You don't lose any valuable information
2. You control what's in the file
3. The context persists beyond the current session
In summary, when you hit a context limit, do a *handoff*, not a *cleanup*.
English
This is NOT Mythos. It's same Opus 4.7 model everyone already has access to, just with a new interface and system prompt

Claude Security is now in public beta for Claude Enterprise customers. Claude scans your codebase for vulnerabilities, validates each finding to cut false positives, and suggests patches you can review and approve.

andrei saioc@asaio87
Its safe to say software developer jobs are fine despite AI I have 15 years experience in software development, and I know what to prompt, but still it takes hundreds of prompts to create an app with AI If you have 0 experience, you dont even know what to ask it. then what do you do when the app breaks ? non-devs have no chance to vibecode a production app devs on the other hand seem to get superpowers
