We are going to be doing a lot of experiments and trying new stuff. One of the biggest things I see mentioned is liquidity on new launches being thin, and people comparing the liquidity on today's launches vs old coins. So for traders 0.75% of all post bond volume is going into the liquidity pool, this effectively makes the LPs 4x deeper, and hopefully improves the tokens life cycle. For deployers, 0.25% of bonding curve volume will go into a rewards pool, which will compound throughout the day. We can see how this plays out, if it doesn't work we are not going to be afraid to cut it, and rethink. I see a lot of the suggestions regarding vamps, so maybe something we look at next update.

As part of our return, we’re excited to announce a new feature aimed at incentivizing higher quality deploys and improve conditions for traders on our platform: Balanced Mode Balanced Mode aligns traders and deployers For traders: 0.75% of all post-bonding volume is compounded into liquidity pools, making LPs ~4x deeper and improving token longevity. For deployers: 0.25% of bonding curve volume is allocated to a rewards pool every 2 hours, compounding throughout the day. Every 24 hours, the full amount is distributed to creators evenly across all successful bonds created within that 24 hour window.

The default writing style of ChatGPT makes me nauseous. I’m sick of seeing it in X comments, blog posts, emails, memos and ChatGPT itself. It’s out of fashion, the flavor has grown stale. I use Claude just to escape it. Very simple fix for OpenAI: change the secret system prompt to abolish this tiresome tone. Or create a more automatic way for people to give it their own tone. This feels like an instance where a 10 minute change could make a product 2x better

@dwlz No chance, I’d be willing to bet 2 to 1 odds. You might see teams adjusting their usage and posture, but handwritten code is on life support not a possible retreat.

After people get a few months of seeing the impact of AI-induced slop in their codebases, and the resulting slowdown this incurs, I predict we're going to see a mass reversion back to "handwritten" code. TBH I'm feeling it myself some days. I'm actually faster with Cursor tab and just nailing what needs to happen. AI has a terrible habit of spending time on things that just don't matter. Might be more "work", but in terms of clock time, I'm getting things done more quickly without involving token inference. Maybe I'm weird. Maybe this is a terrible prediction (as things frequently are with things that change so quickly), but in this case I've been observing my behavior and others for months and I'm seeing a slow steady trickle back to the "old ways".

Codex app is surprisingly buggy. Threads that I can never archive. Prompts that never dismiss. Is no one using it?

@peer_rich @calcom I think this is a good idea in principle but it biases against your most tenured engineers which can stifle their growth. You need mechanisms to make sure they’re not sunk by their success.

one of our internal rules at @calcom: if you introduce a bug youre usually the best person to fix it  you have the context, the edge cases in your head and the mental model of what you were trying to do  throwing it over the fence to a random bug fixer is usually slower when a bug reporter says the button doesnt render in safari theyre seeing a symptom but the original dev remembers why that button was implemented which library was used and which commit touched it last that context is the difference between a 10 minute fix and a 2 day round trip context loss is one of the quietest productivity killers in any growing company the moment you start routing bugs by availability instead of ownership your velocity slows to a halt you save time on task assignments but lose 10x more in cognitive reload bugs are inevitable when youre moving fast  but weve found the healthiest patterns are you break it you fix it you see someone struggling you help them fix it and you never outsource responsibility for quality

Our phones calculate where we are by measuring how long it takes a signal from a GPS satellite to reach us -- but the satellites are about ~12,000 miles away, and they transmit with the power of ~50 watts (like a dim lightbulb 😅). Which means that by the time the signal from a satellite reaches Earth, it is incredibly weak (~one millionth of a billionth of a watt, which is like trying to see a 50-watt bulb from 12,000 miles away). Because the signal is so faint, it is terrifyingly easy to drown out, a cheap jammer bought online for $50 can overpower it locally. 👇And TIL that happens, all the time:

extremely proud of our work at Row Zero we've built an Excel-compatible spreadsheet but 1000x more performant, 1000x bigger data, and cloud-native security amazing what can be done by a tiny team completely obsessing over a problem for a few years x.com/GetRowZero/sta…
Row Zero@GetRowZero

AWS is officially a Row Zero customer! They approached us looking for a secure alternative to the mess of CSV & Excel files on laptops, and needed a tool that could handle Amazon's scale AWS chose Row Zero's industry-leading performance and security over 13 alternative tools

@timneutkens So good. The guess and check of trying to figure out how a module made its way into the route was infuriating! Can't wait to try this.

We've been working on something new: Turbopack / Next.js bundle analyzer. It's fully aware of Next.js routes and the Turbopack module graph. You no longer have to guess where a module is loaded. It shows the full import stack so that you can easily find where the module is used, not just one path but all paths that lead to the module being included in the bundle. You can also inspect CSS size and other assets, as well as the server bundles. Note: Output size shown is without compression (gzip/brotli). We're planning to add that. For example running it on an open source application:

@ns123abc Depends on where the bottleneck is. The latest generations have substantially improved power efficiency. If you’re capped by watts, not by chips, you’re shedding old hardware quickly.

New GPUs do frontier training -> 18 months later do smaller training -> then inference for years after 5-6 year depreciation matches actual economic life, not fraud just how datacenter assets work Look at the market - even shit-tier compute cards from 5+ years ago held value after Blackwell launched Depreciation is paper losses for earnings reports. Only matters in a resale but nobody’s selling anyway because there’s a literal shortage lol

Cassandra Unchained@michaeljburry

Understating depreciation by extending useful life of assets artificially boosts earnings -one of the more common frauds of the modern era. Massively ramping capex through purchase of Nvidia chips/servers on a 2-3 yr product cycle should not result in the extension of useful lives of compute equipment. Yet this is exactly what all the hyperscalers have done. By my estimates they will understate depreciation by $176 billion 2026-2028. By 2028, ORCL will overstate earnings 26.9%, META by 20.8%, etc. But it gets worse. More detail coming November 25th. Stay tuned.

@jeanqasaur You *needed* good abstractions to move fast previously. Otherwise you're literally typing the same code or similar behaviors in multiple places. That friction is diminished. All that remains is the long-term maintenance costs which are hard to _feel_.

@MichaelArnaldi What are the largest deployments you've seen of Effect Cluster vs e.g. Temporal/Cadence? This "reliable at scale" seems pretty fraught to evaluate without substantial deployments for long durations.
