🎥 After 2 years of work, MIT: REGRESSIONS is now available to watch online. It's a feature-length documentary that spans 80 years of MIT's/America's history via AI-enhanced archival footage. Check it out for yourself, head to @mitregressions, read more for some fun details

@jxnlco Love this gif

Went out with some influencer and joked about being in a video of hers. She dead ass just says “omg sure but just not in the first three seconds” That’s a fucking hate crime. 😭😭

@arnie_hacker Vulkan also makes it easier to port to WebGPU :)

since cs2 is vulkan-based, I can extract gt depth as well btw (it uses deferred rendering which separately prepares depth & more before final pass - this can be extracted) pretty funny you can see players through the smoke lol, surely there's ways to cheat from this

@willdepue @BorisMPower You’ve got a knack for this

proposing the flag of artificial superintelligence

@creatine_cycle Twitch Mayor actually

@baelentina_ My girlfriend is stunning and very smart 🙂‍↕️

it’s not Miami but it’ll do

@paularambles @trishaepan iPhone example can’t be true. It was designed in less than 3 years by just dozens of people. They were grinding constantly and arguing over who got to see their kids less. Steve Jobs was definitely pushing them to do backbreaking work

@baelentina_ Excited to explore the film tech scene in Shenzhen with u

i’m going to China in June!! :) if you’re a startup or VC focused on … -consumer hardware (robotics and otherwise) -wearables -voice AI, multi speaker detection and synthesis … and you think we should meet, DMs are open!

@PabloAntonio I liked it, less so oppenheimer though

@lukeigel I did, you didn't like it?

I wish we would make more movies like these

@snewmanpv No disrespect to gibbons, but I don't think they could climb the hardest climbs done by humans

I think we are in the process of discovering that humans are bad at mathematics. A gibbon would scoff at an Olympic climber; the human body is not optimized for climbing. We're getting mounting evidence that our brain may be far from optimal for advanced math. No disrespect to mathematicians. I was a two-time IMO silver medalist; I'm just smart enough to appreciate that some people are much, much smarter. But it's starting to look like math is somewhere on the midpoint of Moravec’s paradox; between chess (computers surpassed us some time back) and cooking (probably many years to go, for general capabilities). It's fairly hard for us, and so it looks like computers are going to surpass us. AI math still has important weaknesses. For instance, AI systems have not yet shown any ability to identify interesting research directions, or develop new concepts on which further work can build. But they are starting to look superhuman in some respects. And once AI *starts* to become superhuman in some domain, we all know what happens next.

@sporadica This Chris Olah guy hops between quoting Martin Luther and hanging out with the pope. What’s his end game…

whoever runs PR+Comms at Anthropic needs a massive raise lmao

@rtwlz @withtenacity @baelentina_ She was claude coding from the farmers market while I was trying to make her pay attention to all the bread

@lukeigel @withtenacity @baelentina_ did you have time for farmers market too?

Weekend project with @baelentina_: There are 77,100 people flying on United right now. We scraped the total # of unoccupied United seats and merged it with ADS-B data.

@alessio_joseph @baelentina_ That was @baelentina_ if I remember correctly

@lukeigel @baelentina_ did you find the person that diverted my flight due to an emergency yesterday and left me stranded in the wrong airport half the day

@WritingsOfBGF @baelentina_ 😉

@lukeigel @baelentina_ No way its accurate - you cant find the seat data

@ejc3 @baelentina_ Oops good catch. 90% is of the current snapshot which updates every 7.5 minutes. Forgot to make that update when you scrub back in time. Fixed

@lukeigel @baelentina_ Why are you saying "scraped the total # of unoccupied" and then hard coding load factor of 90%?

@baelentina_ @trykino <3

@lukeigel and @trykino Luke is someone who genuinely loves to code, hack, understand systems, and make the world better with computers. It feels like he’s one of the few who truly does it for the love of the game. if you know him you know that what he’s building right now is insane, I can’t wait to see what he shows you all soon :)

@DAdvani665 @rtwlz If it doesn’t get unplugged for the next week we’ll tell you 🙂‍↕️

@lukeigel @rtwlz Sick!! Could I ask what you used to scrape united flight log data?

@withtenacity @baelentina_ POST together

@lukeigel @baelentina_ couples who build together…..
