@reactnative Hermes v1 is a big deal. 2x speed improvement in JSON parsing, not to mention the compiler. Huge props to @tmikov and the team for their hard work on this.

React Native 0.84 is now available! This release makes Hermes V1 the default JavaScript engine and ships precompiled iOS binaries by default — bringing significant performance improvements and faster build times to all React Native apps. reactnative.dev/blog/2026/02/1…

@grabbou @mrousavy Nitro Image is D-tier at image display and memory use. The downsampling needs improvement (looks like nearest neighbor?) and it's as bad as RN. But A-tier cleanup! #results" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/scarlac/benchm…

@sephdk Would be great to compare with github.com/mrousavy/react… CC: @mrousavy

Turns out you can save 75% on memory use in a React Native apps. Expo Image vs React Native Image: github.com/scarlac/benchm… What other libraries are worth comparing these days?

@quaccauq You got it exactly right! The memory use is just the tip of the iceberg. FPS drops are what triggered this investigation originally.

@sephdk i tried the repo, i got strange results, in ios the expo-image was smooth, but in android i got insane stutters when scrolling

@lexfridman One of the besties from the All-In podcast and Jon Stewart.

I'm looking to host a long-form debate on politics: Trump, Harris & the presidential election. Let me know if you have suggestions for who can represent the left and the right. My goal is for it to be a good-faith, interesting discussion between 3-5 people, and go for 5+ hours.

@realGeorgeHotz @striedinger Yes. Stay that way. “how hard can it be” has been some of my best (and worst) decisions as well. It keeps you explorative

@MrX51422244 @DeepMind It uses the same model across all tasks, meaning it's "actual" generalized learning. One can argue exactly how generalized it is / how good it is, but it does seem to generalize to some extent

@DeepMind # How it is different (or better) than 30 specialized algorithms working in parallel?

@sama @elonmusk Server reply can be optimized. Replies are getting more than doubled in size. You can effectively move that client side. Should save some in CPU and traffic costs.

@elonmusk average is probably single-digits cents per chat; trying to figure out more precisely and also how we can optimize it

ChatGPT launched on wednesday. today it crossed 1 million users!

@WixEng Wix engineering reminds me of everything that’s good about Facebook engineering: They do hard work to improve the fundamentals. They seem to be guided by the same excellent high standard that the @reactjs engineering team is. I have nothing but respect. Kudos.

💯! Be concise, be helpful.

@_pauliusd Congratulations my friend 🤍💚

I got married last week ✨

@elonmusk @Twitter About 3% here but it’s likely to increase with the follower size a person has. Bots will have to target people with high influence to maximize their reach during their potential short life.

To find out, my team will do a random sample of 100 followers of @twitter. I invite others to repeat the same process and see what they discover …

@jensimmons Thank you to the team, Jen. I see it was fixed in 15.4! > WebKit fixed a bug with the interpolation between colors with alpha transparency — improving gradient support from webkit.org/blog/12445/new…

@jensimmons Safari rarely see updates hence the hate. But constructively: rgba gradients: rgb(255, 0, 0, 1) -> rgb(255, 0, 0, 0) behaves weirdly because alpha and color is expected to transition but doesn’t. Google “safari css alpha gradient” and you’ll see examples for Safari vs. others

Everyone in my mentions saying Safari is the worst, it’s the new IE… Can you point to specific bugs & missing support that frustrate you, inhibit you making websites/apps. Bonus points for links to tickets. Specifics we can fix. Vague hate is honestly super counterproductive.

@jensimmons The address bar suggestions can’t easily be navigated by keyboard because it will randomly reset to the top item as you go down the list. It’s a simple bug but it’s hugely frustrating. The bug has existed for years.

@jensimmons This is a daily occurrence and I have to switch to Chrome for development every time I see it. I don’t know the reason but other browsers with web inspectors don’t have this issue I think. This is from google.com

Also counterproductive, pointing to bugs from several years ago, complaining about them over & over & over. Let’s talk about current bugs. Currently missing or partial support for new features. Let us know what’s most important to you. What do you want us to tackle first?

@frankdejonge Agreed, except I’d add a word in there: […] [Disgruntled p]eople don’t often quit companies […]. People often quit for other mundane reasons like compensation and location.

When you interview for a job, try to reverse interview your manager. People don't often quit companies, they quit managers. Having a "click" with your manager is also hugely influential for your success at the company you're applying at.

@tbhdkx Selvangivelsen. Jeg bor i USA og hold kæft Danmark er langt foran på IT fronten. Også ting du ikke tænker på: Kørekort, sygesikring, offentlig kommunikation og din identitet. Herovre fungerer disse ting ikke pålideligt.

@joebarnard That means you’re paying attention to your mistakes which is the most important part about running a business. Keep going.

Running your own business has some cool benefits but wow I am so bad at it
