people who haven’t worked in big tech don’t understand the scale of wasteful spending that happens in these orgs.
during the golden age of microservices, you had websites that could have run on a single box and a postgres instance being run across hundreds of services, all massively overprovisioned.
it got so bad that companies created entire teams whose job was to harass devs into lowering their cloud spend.
token spend can still get much dumber than you think

Eight years of progress gives us a slightly higher definition Iguana.
Between 1988 and 1996 we went from SMB2 to SM64.
Remind me again why we need a PS6?

Something strange has happened over the last 10 years
When I was a kid, every tech publication (Wired, TechCrunch, Engadget) truly loved and celebrated technology
Over the last 10 years they all collectively decided they absolutely LOATHE technology.
Every article is a hit piece. Every entrepreneur and creative thinker is being destroyed. The greatest inventors of our lives are being villainized.
A lot of people are saying it’s because we live in a clickbait culture and hate is what drive clicks, but I don’t buy it
If hate drove clicks all of these publications would be thriving. Instead, they’re all failing, going bankrupt, laying people off and on top of that I literally can’t name a single person who reads any of them
There is a such a massive opportunity right now for anyone who’s willing to start a tech publication that actually celebrates and loves technology.
I’m DYING for a version of Wired that actually covers real tech with an optimistic lens, and I know many other are too.
Might have to f around and do this myself.

I gave WIRED the exclusive on our hands launch, and they wrote a really weird article about how we are sexualizing robotics… wired.com/story/the-1x-n… I felt pretty betrayed because that’s not what they told me they were writing about not is that what I’ve ever been about… actually I stand for quite the opposite… But I’ve come to find a lot of dishonesty and malice in the journalism community so I wasn’t surprised. This is what I sent the author… I’m only sharing this because I hope it encourages journalists to resist the click bait trap and tell truly awesome stories because I for one don’t believe journalism is dead— I think it’s just starting and just needs to evolve past the weird corner of the internet where data driven optimization turns everything into smooth brained shocking brain rot bullshit. The technological revolution we are going through should inspire a journalism renaissance. Not let it fall into further decay. There is so much brilliance at play in the world and the stories should be told! My note: “[author name redacted], it was nice talking to you, but I wanted to let you know that I didn’t enjoy your article at all. I understand the need to be inflammatory because that seems to be the only thing that gets clicks these days but that doesnt mean you shouldn’t recognize when something special is in front of you. I trusted our PR team in saying we should offer you the exclusive on what is one of the most important technological developments in the history of Mankind and I deeply regret it. Good luck with the rest of your writing career. -Dar Sleeper”

@karlmehta I just love how Mark has completely rebranded himself with a Gen Z hairstyle and clothing, even with a necklace.

Mark Zuckerberg explains the 405B teacher-model flywheel that could make one giant AI the wrong end state
"People are gonna wanna do inference directly on the 405 because it's, you know, by our estimates, it's gonna be about 50% cheaper, I think, than GPT-4o to do that directly."
"Because it's open weights, the ability to take the model and distill it down to whatever size that you want, to use it for synthetic data generation, to use it as a teacher model."
"Our vision is that there should be lots of different models. I think every startup out there, every enterprise, governments, they all kind of wanna have their own custom models."
"Right now, as open source basically closes the gap, I think you're just gonna see this wide proliferation of models where people now have the incentive to basically customize and build and train exactly the right size model for what they're doing, train their data into it."
"They're gonna have the tools to do it because of a lot of the partner integrations that the companies like Amazon are doing with AWS or Databricks or different folks like that who are building these whole suites of services for distilling and fine-tuning open models."
The counterintuitive edge is that the 405B model may be most valuable as raw material, not an endpoint.
The open model compresses into the right size, absorbs proprietary data, and turns one frontier release into thousands of company-specific systems. Distribution of intelligence beats centralization.

"The mouse and keyboard are antiquated."
@imjaredz (Builder in Residence at Cognition) on his most radical prediction:
"I think we're going to return to a world where we just have a wooden desk without a keyboard or mouse.
I just want a button and a Wispr Flow [for voice dictation]. I think that's all we need."

"If you want to build great agents, you have to let the model cook." Here’s my new episode with @imjaredz (Builder in Residence at @cognition), where he shared what he learned from watching the best engineers build with AI agents, including: → Why fewer rules make agents work better → How to get agents to check their own work → Live demo: Build one agent to manage an agent team Some quotes from Jared: “Our goal is not for you to token max. Our goal is for you to ROI max.” “The trick is to break up the work to keep the context window small for each sub-agent.” “More Devin sessions now start from other Devins than directly from humans.” 📌 Watch now: youtu.be/0YeeJHYy-Vc Thanks to our sponsors: @RiversidedotFM: All-in-one AI studio for podcasts and video creators.riverside.com/PeterYang @WisprFlow: 4x faster than typing with your voice ref.wisprflow.ai/peteryang

@kiwitalkz Anything you might do takes time and resources. And you have finite amounts of both. So, you have to decide where to put that time and those resources to the best effect.
English
The main reason why Rockstar doesn't release their games Day 1 on PC is due to lack of resources.
As John Ricchio, GTA 5's producer puts it "if you are working on that that means you aren't working on something else."
During the development of RDR1 they actually had a PC build running early on.

I thought that the bear case for flagship AI companies was that they would stop improving. Now I think it’s maybe that they’re all going to keep improving at roughly the same rate 😬

@phorne96 @thenewarea51 @liveatc @LadyAstroJet You mean like Clinton National Airport in Little rock, or you know....Kennedy International Airport in NYC, Jimmy Carter Airport in Georgia.
English
At 5:01 AM EST this morning, Palm Beach International Airport became President Donald J Trump International Airport - KDJT
The first aircraft to land was Boeing N757AF aka Trump Force One. The FAA aeronautical charts have now changed to reflect the new name.

The new ChatGPT Work comes with a new Computer Use experience.
It's faster and introduces picture-in-picture, so you can keep an eye on Computer Use while it works!

i swear to god you can have a trillion dollars trillion employees trillion meetings and still have no taste and direction

@saradietschy IMHO, it depends on what you mean by "strong brand." Sure, maybe a strong brand with a (relatively) niche segment of users. Not so much when compared with the 800M other users of ChatGPT. I imagine it's pretty hard to manage your brands across those user segments.

It's crazy to have such a strong brand and app like Codex and then just fumble it this is crazy

Let me explain how a public company's games business works, again: if the game makes money, they will keep making them. It is not enough to break even on a price tag paid over 5-7 years. You must beat the cost of investment. x.com/JNavok/status/…
If you beat the cost of investment for a sequel, in nearly all cases of business theory excepting strategic reversals, you will get a sequel.

@_Tom_Henderson_ For a long time, maybe forever, game dev employment has been like movie projects. You work for the project, and when it's over the production company doesn't keep the staff on.

📣EFFECTIVE TODAY: Palm Beach International Airport's three-letter location identifier has changed from PBI to DJT following the airport's official renaming to Donald J. Trump International Airport.
FAA systems and publications reflect the new identifier. Pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation stakeholders should use DJT for flight planning and operations.

"This extension strips the customer hostile shit out of your website, then customers rejoiced and it started making media waves" should be a seismic indicator that Amazon has deeply lost its Customer Obsession.

.@Shpigford made a browser extension called "Knockoff" that shows what a wasteland Amazon truly is by filtering out brands like "GODONLIF" "EHEYCIGA," ROTTOGOON," and sponsored products. Useful and illustrative even if you don't use Amazon 404media.co/knockoff-brows…

I can finally talk about this.
I've been playing with GTA 6 for about a month now.
It's pretty great, arguably even better than GTA 5.
