@jxnlco Machine code. Programming languages are bottlenecks.

Future of AI

@doodlestein @svpino Or until the bubble crashes.

@svpino It will continue just as before, except now it has funding in perpetuity.

Shit. What will happen to ‘uv’ now that [Open]AI owns it?

@malonebarry @White_rxbt It's spelt Meta.

@White_rxbt Mate.

In honour of the closure of the metaverse, I would like to re-up one of the worst videos ever recorded.

Time traveler: Wow, a Proto-Indo-European! Surely my ancestors must have had the most melodic and honey-flowing speech Proto-Indo-European: DHGWHÉYTIM GNH₃SKÓH₂

@JDHamkins BREAKING: x.com/UpdatingOnRome…

Just heard a warning: Tomorrow is the Ides of March. So, you know, beware.

@F_FantasyHub Unreliability is one reason I avoided all chips. That said, I have Bortoletto in all teams. 🙃

Me on Limitless with Norris right now:

@ConsulofRome_ I have a couple of those of my to-read list. How is Streams different from his latest book?

Anthony Kaldellis is a great historian and demeaning him and his work by maligning him as a ‘click bait historian’ is pathetic. I recommend all followers look up his fantastic work asap

@3blue1brown This gives me What if @neiltyson starts talking math vibes.

Happy Pi Day! In a certain sense, π is not a constant, but a variable. Using our usual Euclidean distance, it is 3.14159… but applying other L^p norms on ℝ², half the unit circle's perimeter will give other values. For instance, at p=1 (taxicab geometry), “π” = 2√2. At p ≈ 2.2, it's 3.20. Anyway, the video I was hoping to have out this day will be out closer to the 20th. Some call it “missing your deadline”, but I prefer to think of it as giving the L_{2.2} norm a little love.

@IvArends @ripplebrain Mostly the nouns. A very German thing to do.

@ripplebrain What's with Trump and randomly capitalizing words in the middle of a sentence?

I was so in awe of this one I had to read it three times. I don't even know where to start

@Kaju_Nut No wonder the lighting is so dark.

This was the first post-conference party I attended where the mood was more gloomy than festive. Instead of the usual physics debates and academic gossip, the talk veered to worries about diminishing funds, depleting postdoc positions, talented colleagues not getting offers, nirf woes and so on.

@RisingSayak No, they are sufficiently rated and widely used. A better lukewarm-take should go something like “os.path and attrs are underrated”.

`pathlib` is an underrated package in Python. So is `dataclass`.

@ClementDelangue Meta just bought moltbook, FWIW. I'm not saying it's not stupid; just that it's not dead... yet.

One underrated benefit of six weeks on paternity leave: by the time you’re back, almost an entire AI hype cycle has come and gone, and fads like OpenClaw are already dead

@LuxMea Reading right after this…

Is there a good way to cross post things from TikTok to YouTube shorts? It’s time for me to start making book content so you all don’t sleep on this little yellow guy coming soon! 💛🤭

@TheZvi This is why should teach them dimensional analysis first.

My son is asked to find surface area of a cube for his homework. There is exactly one wrong side length for such a problem, and they picked it.

@PI010101 Write a professional reply to the email. Make two random spelling mistakes and no more than two grammatical errors.

Making typos or mistakes in your posts and especially emails is now more valuable than before, it is the first sign that the text was not AI generated but written directly by you 🙂

@cobbaltt Have fun. youtu.be/fR7IIZAy4Js

@vboykis I'm disappointed to read this.

@GoogleResearch @GoogleDeepMind History? The term is a little over a year old and, for the most part, a meme.

At 1:30 PM this afternoon Pablo Samuel Castro, Research Scientist at @GoogleDeepMind, will kick off #SALA2026 afternoon sessions with a talk on "Vibe Coding". Attend to learn the history of vibe coding and how to use it to make your coding workflow faster and more creative.

@AmbientSheep @MatthewSil19242 @frentzen_hh Hear it from the horse's mouth. ~30-minute mark. youtu.be/jTiJ47FxnT8

@MatthewSil19242 @frentzen_hh Wasn't there a rumour that after the race, R0n Denn1s told him that his F1 career was finished?

My Team mate Enrique was very good Driver. Unfortunately for him a sacked but experience old man driver gave him some lessons. If he knew my tricks and Learned more during the season 2002 he would have been the next Brasilian F1 star. IMO

@tsotchke There are only a handful of names that the "cracked" people here know: Neumann (all round genius), Feynmann (personality), Shanon (something something information), Deutsch (that book... whoa) and Tao (child prodigy). That's it.

the way midwits on this website worship Terry Tao is extremely upsetting
