@lucadilollo @WorldWideWob I think keeping Gobert off the floor was the primary reason they did it

@WorldWideWob also kept Gobert off the floor without a chance to comfortably set defence

LOVE that decision by Mitch Johnson to not call timeout. Almost every Wolves player was grabbing their shorts after those chaotic turnover sequences, they anticipated it coming, and it results in Champagnie getting one of the best looks of the game to win it. Just didn't fall.

@DystopianBarbie @Timodc @piersmorgan He didn’t find it!

@Timodc @piersmorgan Honestly, that's a great skill right there. He doesn't have to tell Russel, this is embarrassing. Everyone can see! And now we even have a time stamp of how long it took for this clown to find the text in his favourite book so important to him.

The discipline of @piersmorgan to just sit there silently for the excruciating 90 seconds of page turning without interjecting at all…props

@TheSpeculator0 Also leaked all their source code lol

yeah bro we reached AGI, we shipped a fucking bug that nuked every session that went >1h between responses and no one caught it for a month but yeah our models are so strong we can't release them anymore.

@noahsloss @TJHSSTParents but to imply they were decisive or even particularly important to the outcome is disingenuous . The recall won 70%-30%. The idea that e.g. Trump's crypto czar is a powerful player in a city where Trump got 17% of the vote is silly

@noahsloss @TJHSSTParents Pro-recall donations were at least 5-10x those of anti-recall even if you remove contributions from Tan/Sacks/Arthur Rocks. There were 1,000 volunteers, endorsements from the mayor, former school board members, many others. Yes tech elite supported it -

This is a great intro for normies, an interview on the local NPR station. Gil gets right into it and doesn’t hold back.

@TJHSSTParents @noahsloss That’s not to discount anything about how Thiel/Musk/crypto grifter ideology is described here, but to say the school board recall in SF was some kind of astroturfed tech elite thing is not remotely accurate.

@TJHSSTParents @noahsloss This isn’t really an accurate reading of what drove the SF school board recall. COVID shutdown, school renaming during shutdown, Lowell high school admissions changes, and anti Asian racist remarks from a school board member pissed off a lot of people

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

@sevensixfive What devilry is the lamp up to this time

A lamp that does your chores. A coffee table that files your taxes. A bookshelf that calls your mother. A wall clock that corrects your posture. A throw rug that smothers you in your sleep.

@mylordcod @provisionalidea Less of a problem in a startup where there’s not legacy/undesirable scope that someone just has to take… more of a problem when 40% of existing work needs to find a new home

@provisionalidea I think the thing they didn't discuss is how the network of DRI's will take shape. Ie: what constitutes owning a problem? How big? how do you split them when in conflict etc Given roelof, it sounds like they are trying to take early PayPal's system and deliver it at scale.

I have a lot of *thoughts* on the Dorsey piece, but tonight I’ll just reiterate — while I very much love that people are starting to care about org design again, 1) human context is not the same thing as LLM context, and environments of ubiquitous surveillance and documentation do not miraculously transmute one into the other 2) reinventing the flat org for the umpteenth time will not magically make its flaws go away just because you plug in AI. I know tech perennially fantasizes about flat orgs and ‘firing all the managers’ once every two to three years, but there are much cooler and more impactful ways to redesign your org around AI that actually optimize for what the AI’s good at as opposed to trying to force AI to resurrect an undead fantasy 3) strategy, planning, resource delegation, coordination, assignment, advocacy, conflict resolution, mentorship, accountability, and decision-making under uncertainty (collectively: management) makes up a distinct skillset and area of expertise that becomes *more* valuable in an agentic world, not less. when you give every engineer ten agents to assign work to, what you’ve done is turned those engineers into managers of digital workers. this then *increases* the administrative and coordination burden of the org geometrically despite headcount remaining stable. 4) the exciting thing about AI in this moment is that it can empower people to make faster, better-informed decisions, not that you can hand your decisions off to a machine to make them in your stead.

@MikeIsaac And the power of models that can run on device is only growing tombedor.dev/open-source-mo…

narrative for a while was "apple is behind on AI" — which was true when siri was a bust after trying in house but now they're in a position where they're not spending the insane amounts of capex the other hyperscalers are AND using their models for siri dumb like a fox?

@anemll @danveloper @Alexintosh @danpacary I just finished writing up speculation that the future of AI could be local, seems like it could be happening faster than I expected! tombedor.dev/open-source-mo…

@RealJimChanos I just flew on a plane and there wasn’t any AI and the pilots were bored as shit with no infotainment.. very bullish on the Nikola guy doing planes

@BennyGrin @conner_omalley Things can be funny and also not make sense for SNL

@conner_omalley If Lorne Michaels wasn't 200 years old this is what would be on SNL and the show would be actually relevant again

Conspiracy theory: this isn't the launch of a new feature, it's the soft launch of accurate pricing for Claude, and Anthropic are testing the waters to see when the time is right to drop the full bombshell.

@CarioSZNN @NBA Not to mention the grab before the push off

@NBA Sga uses his literal arm every push off and there is no call we gotta get some regulation over here

JOKIĆ AND SHAI DELIVER AN ENDING FOR THE AGES 🚨 Thunder top Nuggets in a GAME-OF-THE-YEAR contender 🍿

it's strange to see the world of the past fade before my eyes from 2012 through 2024, I wrote code in long sessions of sitting in vim -- sometimes typing, mostly thinking, flipping between different terminals, making changes, looking at errors, googling, reading stackoverflow... I took pride in carrying in my head these towering abstractions. I knew every nook and cranny of my business logic, like a neighborhood you live in. I felt extra fast when tab-completing a single long variable name. Nice. I placed every parenthesis, every semicolon, myself. Hundreds of thousands of them. And like a great wave washing over your sandcastle on the beach, it is now all gone. Engineering will never again be as it once was. What's especially significant about it to me is that there's barely a record of the way it was: I've spent thousands of hours writing software, and I don't think there's a single video recording of me doing it. I remember how it was: the long breaks of meditative silence, the frustration of hunting a particularly tricky bug, the relief and joy in solving it, the expressions of taste and cleverness that come with any manual craft. But it's hard to communicate how it was to someone who has never experienced it. As with all histories, the narrative is lacking in depth: you really had to be there.

Introducing: Number Research Inc. At Number Research Inc., we are attempting to find and document all* available numbers. This is a volunteer-lead research position, where anyone is able to contribute. Simply type a number in, and we'll check if we've got it. If we have, no worries, just try another. If it is a new number, then thank you for your hard work!

@scaling01 (Claude indeed does well at this)
