🕊️ Chuck Norris has died at 86. tmz.me/N3EVxQe

POV: A guy with ChatGPT and Google AlphaFold just built a custom mRNA cancer vaccine to save his dog. this story is actually insane. a tech guy in australia adopted a rescue dog with aggressive cancer and only months to live. so he did something wild: > paid ~$3k to sequence the tumor dna > used chatgpt to analyze the mutations > used google’s alphafold to model the proteins > identified drug targets and designed a custom mRNA cancer vaccine he had zero background in biology. after months of paperwork, the vaccine was approved and injected. within weeks the tumor shrank dramatically and the dog started recovering. meanwhile pharma companies are running $1B trials to do the exact same thing. the future of personalized medicine with AI is going to be insane.

Yearning for lower RAM prices

THIS IS IT!!!! THE GREATEST CLIP I HAVE EVER HIT IN MY LIFE! I WILL NEVER TOP THIS

@julian_le_roux @joshalbrecht @imbue_ai The desk right beside him is a standing desk

@joshalbrecht @imbue_ai PSA: Get yourself an electric standing desk. They are cheaper than you think.

The Claude Code hype is real Over our @imbue_ai winter break, I wanted to see how fast I could reconstruct the lowest level of our product as an AI engineering principles experiment—vibe engineering, not just vibe coding. In < 2 weeks, I shipped over 50k lines of high quality code with > 80% test coverage. Here's how: My 7 Principles of AI-first Engineering: 1. Iteratively prevent Claude errors - Every time I catch a mistake from Claude, I add a new rule so it never happens again. - Make these programmatically enforced! 2. Right-size tasks (Goldilocks only) - Too small = slow and annoying. - Too big = the agent thrashes. - The sweet spot: one focused change that barely fits in the context window and finishes in ~10 min. 3. Think in two modes of work - There’s feature mode (ship new things) and maintenance mode (clean, refactor & programmatically prevent AI mistakes). 4. Require passing tests (with a floor, not perfection) - I gate everything on tests + ~80% coverage. This forces the agent to fix things without forcing it to write lots of bad tests. 5. Refactoring is non-negotiable - When imports get confusing or abstractions drift, stop and move things where they should live. You should always know all of the code in your codebase. 6. You still have to look at the code - Not necessarily line-by-line, but shape-by-shape. - For example, does it live in the right place? Does it smell weird? - Did tests pass for the right reason? 7. Write a real style guide with executable examples - A bunch of rules + examples that anchor the agent to my version of “good code". - You can even have an agent generate the style guide examples (just stick {{EXAMPLE}} in there and tell it to fix). And if AI-first engineering is exciting to you, reach out! We're hiring :)

Stranger things going insane rn

@RakoTuke Too many unanswered questions already

Happy Is The Stranger Things Finale going to be a disaster eve.

HOLYYYYYYYYYY THIS HIT

@Di3seL @DistortedFlux turn it off

@DistortedFlux Yeah I have that on. Is off the move or just get used to the extra bounce?

Every time I go to jump off a wall, this happens…

No wonder she's this unbothered and in her lane. She lives in the shire.

@kayaydae @sebby_of_x @RjeyTech Me too lol, I usually get a Spigen ultra thin case, but don’t think they have them released yet? Not sure I need to do some research

Looks like no one bought the Blue iPhone 17 Pro 😅

@sebby_of_x @RjeyTech Silver on 🔝

@RjeyTech Im good 😎 scratches will reveal silver aluminium underneath, which is a big no from me.

@theapplehub 17 Pro Max, but the app was being so glitchy I have to wait an extra week to get it 🥲

New iPhones secured ✅ Did you pre-order a new iPhone?

Seriously the Apple Store is complete muck I was waiting well before 1pm and now I gotta wait an extra week for it to be delivered this is crazy

🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo since 30: • 567 games. • 479 goals. • 103 assists.

Wanted to play a few games of COD this AM and I have to reinstall MP for no reason. ARE THESE GUYS SERIOUS?

@PlayersOvrPlays @HaightCOD @scootslays @Bound2K @GGBreakingPoint Ekia/d ratio or straight kd? Older CODs take the actual kill amount but the newer games include assists

@HaightCOD @scootslays @Bound2K @GGBreakingPoint I love cod but aim assist is so strong now. Used to have 1.2 ish in Aw, bo3,4 etc. this the first cod I’ve played since vanguard and have a 1.9 kd. Ranked kd 1.75. In no way shape or form should I be this good at a game I haven’t played in years - cod just easy

F/A for Black ops 7.
