@opencode can you increase subscription tiers? $10/$50/$100? would love to spend more, without direct, to help company budgeting better

there's a lot of excitement around Kimi K3 so we are making it available immediately to OpenCode Go users we have not yet been able to negotiate a discount yet so it will currently consume your limits at a higher rate hopefully will figure this out soon

@btaylor --- use three dashes also feel free leave typos in, occasionally omit common punctuation, use all lower case I know the style can be mimicked by LLM still, but still better than nothing

I deeply resent that AI has forced me to eliminate em dashes from my writing for fear of signaling slop

@cremieuxrecueil I finally have a feed full of mostly text again and can't stop getting hooked into stupid crack short form videos on accident all hail new algo

OK, actually, I am noticing a really big change: No more meme pages. They're gone. All the 100k likes screenshot posts? Gone. So much of the slop? Eliminated.

matter is to spacetime as identify is to emotionspace where valence, arousal, and agency are the emotion dimensions. related: electromagnetic field is analogous the "affective" field where novelty and meaning appear distinct, but are unified as a field in emotionspace.

instead of defining what you want to see, what if you defined what outcomes to optimize? rotations (maybe changes primary accent theme) between "modes" - current events - explore your network graph - quick entertainment - deeper discussions the algorithm should determine what variety of things interests you, you just say the dimension to focus on.

@CreeCoder not an abandoned concept per-se... I briefly explored this the other day, but we'll continue to iterate towards the best user experience!

🚨 Nikita shared some abandoned prototypes for giving users more control over the For You timeline. One would have let users customize their feed with AI prompts. Another would have used category sliders. X ultimately went with Snooze Topics and Custom Timelines instead. Did they make the right choice? 👀

@gregisenberg easy fix: algo should insert them into your feed until you remove them.

Bookmarking tweets and not going back to them has become an epidemic

@VictorTaelin I have mode called "Drive" that i am now defaulting to. it orchestrates sub agents which also orchestrate their own sub agents whom are dedicated to buildling, reviewing, or planning. Enables very long sessions with out compaction or large context windows.

I discovered a new joy in life. Don't ask Codex to do stuff. Ask Codex to ask Codex to do stuff. Rejoice as you watch it handling and correcting all the dumb shit that it does and that you'd be dealing with otherwise

@StuartJRitchie I wonder what the reception would have been if it was an X article paywall means most did not read it, instead probably just that one screenshot of it.

-Richard Dawkins writes a delightful, funny, and entertaining article -Everyone hates him for no good reason and decides to massively misrepresent his article in the most smug and humourless way imaginable ^ description of a constant internet occurrence since approximately 2006

@Alejandro_DPG @atmoio i like to think of it as a text-based accent capitalization rules mostly just made up. essentially vestigial rules that served a purpose when text was more dense and compact lower case signals online culture association, stream of thought, not rigid corpo-LinkedIn culture

@atmoio I agree, but... I'm a bit distracted by the fact that you don't capitalize anything: not the beginning of sentences, not after periods, not people's names, not even the pronoun "I"; whereas "AI" is always capitalized, proving you actually can do it! Care to explain? I'm puzzled.

dawkins is an idiot in a very specific way, but he’s not idiotic enough to actually think claude is conscious. what materialists/new atheists like him mean when they say AI may be conscious is not so much that AI is conscious as much as it is an attempt to downplay human consciousness. they’re essentially making a point. “hey, how ridiculous i sound right now, is how ridiculous you sound thinking human consciousness is universally central.” or, “hey, see that dumb llm that you and i clearly agree isn’t conscious? yup, you’re made of the exact same stuff. see how stupid you sound now?” there’s also unfortunately no way to rebut them without disclaiming you are using poetry. you cannot use “science” to plead the case because science is a materialist tool. it is a highly sequestered arena in which we define a rigid speech protocol. its whole trick is the calculus of dividing the whole and annotating its parts. this clever hack works for some things, some small pockets of reducibility, but at large is quite futile. neuroscientist philosopher iain mcgilchrist argues the materialist trap is basically a failure to see wholes, dominated by the brain left-hemisphere’s proclivity to divide and conquer. the left hemisphere cannot make sense of experience, music, and time. these are the domain of the right hemisphere which experiences “flow” rather than discrete moments. he describes patients with right hemisphere damage who just couldn’t make sense of time in their life. they saw the frames but couldn’t see the movie. you can dissect the image to find the story but all you’ll get are pixels. you can dissect a violin to find the music but all you’ll get is wood pulp. consciousness is a whole. it’s a flow. and science doesn’t really know what to do with that.

i've always thought digital brain uploads would require fancy tech that decodes the biological brain; always pondering the feasibility and fidelity of it. i haven't considered, until now, that the upload could be slow & indirect. instead, what if it's a network of compounding digital snapshots of our attention. not a clone. not an upload. just ... another evolving layer? a layer built on a different substrate. one that allows our thoughts to echo, morph, and interlink in a similar way they do in our wet brain. if enough information is captured and organized in an increasingly sophisticated LLM managed second brain.... then how long until this second brain can produce outputs from novel stimuli that would be on par with what your biological brain would produce? would that count as a digital upload? could it capture your tastes? your intuition? your... subconscious? it will probably never be a 1:1, since your silicone LLM powered second brain would be smarter and more capable. but at what point is it theoretically... you? what is enough? surely it will remain an extension of you, or rather, a symbiosis. but remove the engine. disconnect the LLM. sedate the brain. what is left is an artifact. what if left ... is you?

Claude mythos security capabilities introduces weird dilemma for updates: 1. not updating quickly now puts you at risk for various zero days being found and fixed 2. updating immediately puts you at risk for increasing surface area of supply chain hacks to sneak in interesting times

@HankFrank I would buy a whoop again if I didn't have to have a stupid subscription. I don't need a fancy analysis or app. it was the pretty accurate and I don't want to wear a big watch. > me and literally everyone I talk to about who **has had** one. no one has them anymore.

I’ve worn a WHOOP every day for 3+ years. Bought a discounted 2-year membership because I’m a data nerd and I love this stuff. I’m still not sure I’ll renew when it’s up. Not because it’s a bad product. It taught me a lot early on. Alcohol tanks recovery. Sleep is everything. Easy days need to actually be easy. That was valuable. But once you learn those lessons you don’t need a monthly subscription to remind you. Garmin gives me the same data with no fee. The people I know who wore one loved it for 6 months then stopped. Not because they lost interest. Because the data stopped telling them anything new. $10.1B is a huge number. I just wonder how many members right now are in month 8 thinking the same thing I am.

@ThePrimeagen @xaskdev I tried checking it out, but couldn't even sign up for paid? are you grandfathered in? or am I just dumb and didn't setup right

@xaskdev yes they are sunsetted, but because i am a paying customer i get effectively free autocomplete for life (until they take it out back). i just love it

i am using supermaven again and i have something to say about this whole AI thing. I think as a group (swe) we rushed so fast into Agents when inline autocomplete + actual skills is crazy. A good autocomplete that is fast like supermaven actually makes marked proficiency gains, while saving me from cognitive debt that comes from agents. With agents you reach a point where you must fully rely on their output and your grip on the codebase slips. Its insane how good cursor Tab is. Seriously, I think we had something that genuinely makes improvement to ones code ability (if you have it). Truly acts as a multiplier, and we left it in the dust because it is not sexy. hurts me on the inside.

@aakashgupta make ads cheaper on lower ratio content? or more expensive on quality content win-win

MKBHD is right - and it won’t happen. YouTube Rewind 2018 hit 20 million dislikes in weeks. 86% of viewers downvoted it. The most disliked video in platform history, created by the platform itself. Three years later, YouTube removed public dislike counts. In January 2026, they made every Rewind video private. YouTube’s stated reason: protecting small creators from harassment. The actual math: YouTube generated $40.4 billion in ad revenue in 2025, more than Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount, and Warner Bros. Discovery combined. That $40.4 billion comes from brands buying placement against content. Brands do not buy placement against content with a visible 86% disapproval rating. The dislike count was the single most efficient quality signal on the internet. One glance told you whether a tutorial actually worked, whether a product review was genuine, whether a news clip was credible. The Return YouTube Dislike extension still has millions of users four years later because the demand never went away. People are installing third-party software to restore a feature YouTube deliberately killed. YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim’s response to the removal was to change his only YouTube video’s title to ask why the dislike count was removed. He compared the announcement video to a hostage tape. The company’s own creator liaison looked, in Karim’s words, like someone being forced to deliver good news about a decision he knew was bad. This is the buyer versus user problem at $60 billion scale. YouTube sells to CMOs and media buyers. CMOs do not want their Superbowl spot sitting next to a dislike ratio that signals the audience hates it. The viewer who lands on a scam tutorial with 50,000 likes, no visible dislikes, and a comment section flooded with bots has no way to know. That viewer is not YouTube’s customer. The CMO is. MKBHD knows this. He said the same thing in 2021 when YouTube first removed it. The fact that he’s still saying it four years later tells you the creator community never accepted the change. But a $60 billion revenue machine does not restore a feature that costs it even 1% of ad sales. The math on that is $600 million annually. That’s why MKBHD said “if I were CEO” and not “when YouTube does this.” He already knows the answer.

@arscontexta should be more like sleep phases: deep → clean up accumulated slop, duplicated mess light → consolidated, reorganize architecture, general high level planning rem → play with high temp, generate novel ideas, simulate recent sessions with different parameters

your agent should dream (literally) whats the human sleep equivalent for agents? we dream at night, process the day and wake up fine-tuned and optimized what if your agent does the same while you sleep or while its idle? it should go through its sessions, maintain and evolve its notes/memory maybe even throw in some randomness & synthesis exploration let it hallucinate, thats dreaming (just sharing some thought processes on the openclaw arscontexta plugin)

there will always be problems to solve if there wasn't, well then... that'd be a problem

@reviewbyslaide @mattpocockuk tasteless used here (I think) is defined as inability to naturally do or lack of intuition. this means he is steering the model with additional instructions or review is needed. still possible to achieve a good result, just harder

@mattpocockuk "AI has no taste for UI or architecture" but you're at 100% AI-contributed code? So you're either: 1. Building products where taste doesn't matter 2. Spending all your time post-editing AI output to add taste 3. Shipping tasteless products Which one is it?

I have been at 100% AI-contributed code for a few months now. Here are 9 ways it's changed my brain: 1. WAY more time thinking about integration testing 2. Friction via pre-commit hooks/CI/strong types is now super desirable 3. AI has no taste for UI, prototype extremely aggressively before committing to a PRD 4. AI has no taste for software architecture, be extremely explicit about the modules you want and think about their interfaces 5. Deep, grey-box modules with simple interfaces are the KING - let AI control what's in the box to decrease your cognitive load 6. Huge reliance on Effect.ts for dependency injection and strongly typed errors 7. Much more meta-programming, turning my skills into repeatable SOP's 8. First I thought MOAR DOCS = BETTER but 'doc rot' is real. Better to just let the AI generate JIT docs during plan mode. 9. Much higher cognitive load to keep up with the changes the LLM makes to the codebase

@signulll more excited than ever I feel like there is so much power just waiting to be channeled towards any endeavor I want there will always be problems, engineering has always been about solving problems

i am a trained software engineer with an ml grad degree & i ask this question with genuine sincerity. if you’re a software engineer right now, how do you feel about your future?

@dl_insider @marlowxbt this makes the most sense

@cullyn @marlowxbt I think this is pure marketing for Polymarket. They are the ones pushing.

My cousin works in weather insurance. Last week she showed me how her company prices storm damage 48 hours before any news outlet reports the risk. I asked her if she ever looked at Polymarket. She said: Those odds are basically free money for anyone with real data. We were at her apartment in Chicago. She had just finished a 14 hour shift modeling hurricane probabilities for a reinsurance firm. I was venting about losing $200 on a temperature bet in Miami. She looked at my phone. Laughed. Then said something that changed how I see these markets. You're betting against people who price billion dollar policies on this exact data. The public forecast is their leftover scraps. She pulled up her work dashboard. Not weather. Not AccuWeather. Raw ensemble models. Probability distributions. Temperature bands down to the half degree. Updated every 6 hours from sources most people don't know exist. Insurance companies can't afford to guess. We pay millions for data that's 12-24 hours ahead of what retail forecasts show. When we see 94% chance of a temperature hitting a certain range, the public might still see 60%. For her this was Tuesday. Routine risk modeling. For me it was a revelation. If the insurance industry prices weather with near certainty 24-48 hours out, and Polymarket odds lag behind Someone with that edge could buy YES at 5 cents when the real probability is already 90%. Not predicting weather. Just reading the answer before the market catches up. I went home. Couldn't sleep. Started digging through Polymarket weather wallets. Forty minutes later I found this: → Wallet: t.me/PolyGunSniperB… Started with almost nothing. Current profit: $27,415. Every position is weather. Temperature ranges. Specific cities. Specific dates. Atlanta. Miami. Dallas. 1,807 predictions. The profit curve goes straight up. Look at the positions: - Will Atlanta hit 70F on February 9? 2,728 shares at 98c. Value: $2,713. - Will Miami stay below 65F on February 10? 1,527 shares at 97c. Value: $1,525. Biggest single win: $3,285. The pattern is always the same. Enter when odds are mispriced. Buy cheap. Wait for reality to confirm what the data already showed. No guessing. No gambling. Just information asymmetry. I texted my cousin the wallet link. She looked at it for two minutes. Then wrote back: This is exactly what I was talking about. Someone's doing their homework. Right now there's a temperature reading updating somewhere. An insurance actuary is adjusting a model. And on Polymarket, the odds probably haven't moved yet. The window exists. This wallet proves it.
