In case it wasn't obvious by the fact that I haven't posted here since October, I want to say for the record and so that I can pin it, that I'm still posting, but now mainly on the email-like alternative to this place (currently on .xyz, being coy in case they ban refs to it)

@trq212 Why did my `claude -p` loop stop counting against my MAX plan and instead charge expensive API prices? This seemed to start happening in the middle of the night last night alongside these wording changes :(

We want to encourage local development and experimentation with the Agent SDK and claude -p. If you’re building a business on top of the Agent SDK, you should use an API key instead. We’ll make sure that’s clearer in our docs.

@shazow Very good questions imo experienced devs have a real advantage but only if they rapidly progress through their grief cycle and adapt, now and onwards. Categorically rejecting or ignoring the new layer would be a mistake.

@DavidSHolz @nearcyan Random but seeing this interaction in the TL reminded me of your old SVVR talk that for me was one of the more inspirational of that era - hard to believe it's been 10 years, 2015. Things did get weird but differently than predicted youtu.be/xAUG6prB2nA

This is three.js running on the Exosphere. 🤯 Rendering in realtime from a browser at 8K / 60fps. Here’s how Shopify just pulled it off 👇

Tinker provides an abstraction layer that is the right one for post-training R&D -- it's the infrastructure I've always wanted. I'm excited to see what people build with it. "Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them" -Whitehead
Thinking Machines@thinkymachines

Introducing Tinker: a flexible API for fine-tuning language models. Write training loops in Python on your laptop; we'll run them on distributed GPUs. Private beta starts today. We can't wait to see what researchers and developers build with cutting-edge open models! thinkingmachines.ai/tinker

This Jimmy Kimmel FCC threat thing is full anti-speech fascistic nonsense and is a huge breach of the republic. I do not talk like this lightly.

imo self driving cars are unsafe they need to be able to protect their riders against external malicious actors. I'm sure at some point, they'll need to be equipped with weapons, or some sort of deterance device

GRPO doesn't seem to collapse at higher LRs if you clip all negative advantages to zero. it takes longer to reach the same point, but in a markedly more stable way

That means that it's possible to send byte sequences directly to the steering wheel in the format it expects. Logitech doesn't seem to publish this spec anywhere, but with Wireshark + USBCap I was able to reverse engineer the exact bytes to send to the wheel to rumble.

This is a GIANT sleeper feature. Every Shopify storefront now exposes an MCP endpoint with tools to query merchant's catalog, look up store info, build a cart, and order status! Docs: shopify.dev/docs/apps/buil… — this instantly turns any MCP-capable agent into authoritative commerce agent.
tobi lutke@tobi

Use the global Shopify Catalog to build apps and agents that search products across millions of Shopify businesses. New MCP tools enable store chatbots to find products and make purchases, and the Knowledge Base app lets merchants edit FAQs given to buyers in AI shopping chats.

@kalomaze I run an indie Beat Saber alternative called Soundboxing where all the maps are user generated (it predates Beat Saber) and have something like 4TB+ of user generated beatmap data & replays. Have always wondered about doing something like this. Please keep sharing what you find!

@jazzychad App Clips sound like a great idea, and are convenient for the user, but will tank your app installs - nobody ever converts from app clip to full app - so not usually wise from a business or customer acquisition POV

My game could easily fit in an AppClip… is there *any* advantage to spending time on this (when I’m also planning to make a playable web version…) ?? The entire app itself is well below 10MB

it's time for open source to start picking the biggest low hanging fruit. verifiable, automatically generated, yet non-mathematical or programming-based reasoning. it can be done.

there is absurd untapped alpha in GRPO verifiable rewards, except determined by a bespoke rubric model that judges individual yes/no criteria (in this case, you'd judge the translation to another language and back as a proxy for retaining meaning across languages)

It also works in VR 🤯 Grab a Quest or Apple Vision Pro and step into the immersive cockpit. Got to love WebXR and the amazing react-three/xr.
