It's all a mess until you see the pattern

There’s not a single reason to sell course over something you’re already making good money. None. If you already made a lot of money you wouldn’t bother to be a course boi, unless you’re doing it for free, then you’d become a mentor, not a course boi.

@LinusEkenstam And it’s not so distant, we’re 1 hardware breakthrough away from democratisation

The future of robotics is one, if not the most thrilling thing to ever happen to you. you will start to become more and more obsessed with human / machine interaction. if robots will walk amongst us in ever greater numbers being able to give instructions/commands is critical. Today Agentic systems is the first generation of the future robotic harnesses that will power everything from your own household crew to blue collar workers, electricians, plumbers etc. It might seem far away, but we will see specialist humanoids faster than we think. electricians humanoids most likely will have clippers and screwdrivers as well as dexterous hands. The future is full of special purpose robotics as well as extremely general purpose robotics. It will at the time look like an iPhone moment, but reality is it’s going to be built on half a century of technological breakthroughs. the future is robotics and AI.

@ritu_twts Do math worth learning in the calculator era?

Be honest devs, Is coding still worth learning in the AI era?

@ObinnaUkwueze wait until you hear about dropbox

HOLD ON! Resend is a wrapper on top of Amazon SES?

@catalinmpit @levelsio So you installed an air ventilation system before measuring your co2 levels?

I’ve seen @levelsio and others talk about CO2, so I installed a heat-recovery air ventilation system in our new house. It runs non-stops by removing stale indoor air and bringing in fresh outdoor air. It feels like always having the windows open, but better because the incoming air is filtered for dust, pollen, and other particles. The best way I can describe it is that the house has that crisp, fresh morning-air feeling/smell you get when you open the windows in the mountains. And the most noticeable is the bedroom. You know how bedrooms feel stuffy and smell bad in the morning. Not anymore. It’s fresh when we wake up. Now I need a CO2 monitor to monitor its effectiveness.

@ianzelbo While everyone is here, any 5k2k ultrawide recommendation with usb-c pd?

Kinda tempted to replace my Studio Display with this… 5k Mini LED 165Hz for $1200?! And it’s not even bad looking

@ok6ixx you're annoying even in your made up story

I borrowed an umbrella from my Airbnb host in Kyoto. I forgot to return it when I checked out, and realized when I was already on the train to Osaka. I felt terrible. It was a nice umbrella, not a cheap one. I messaged the host apologizing. She responded: "No problem! Enjoy the umbrella. It's yours now." I said I'd mail it back. She said "please don't. Postage costs more than an umbrella. Just use it and think of Kyoto when it rains." I insisted I wanted to return it. She said "okay, but I have a different idea. Next time you see someone who needs an umbrella and doesn't have one, give them this umbrella. Tell them to do the same when they are finished with it. Maybe an umbrella travels all around Japan helping people." That idea was so beautiful I agreed. Two weeks later I was in Hiroshima and it started pouring. A woman with a baby was standing under an awning looking stressed. No umbrella, the baby was crying. I walked over and gave her the umbrella. Told her the story in broken Japanese. She understood enough. She tried to refuse but I insisted. Told her "when you're done with it, give it to someone else who needs it." She nodded, said thank you about ten times, and hurried off with her baby. I got soaked walking back to my hotel but felt good about it. Sometimes I wonder where that umbrella is now. Hope it's still traveling, still helping people.

@LinusEkenstam Must be annoying, they’re the worst fans :P

@sercanov thanks dude. I’m heading back to BCN tomorrow, it’s still going on, honking everywhere

Being in Istanbul when Galatasaray wins the Super Lig is nuts. Welcome back to the Champions League. The whole city is boiling over 🔥

@Leon_F_T So it’s recent

@Miles_Brundage What do you think the current bottlenecks of robotic training?

The world is sleeping on robotics

@iamsaura_ TIL I’m not a real builder

You want to connect with real builders in Barcelona, it's here. Hi.

@CacheThatCheque Sounds like a fun way to spend your only life (no pun intended)

Approaching 40. It was a few years ago that I started to realize: 1. the only thing that actually matters is raising my kids And 2. the only interests and hobbies I have now is drinking coffee, listening to podcasts, watching the stock market and shitposting on this app

@frankmikesmith Can confirm. I’m a dude and I love geography

I really underestimated how much dudes like geography. This might be the most suppressed male interest

@aakashgupta Not your phone, some server in Dublin does it

Every time Google Maps gives you directions, your phone does this. 14,671 streets searched to find a single 2.3 km route across Naples. It's called Dijkstra, the undefeated king of shortest path since 1959. Until last month. For 66 years, every GPS, every flight booking, every internet packet route ran on the same algorithm. In 2024, Robert Tarjan and four co-authors won Best Paper at FOCS proving Dijkstra was optimal. The world's most-used algorithm, certified untouchable. Eight months later, a team at Tsinghua led by Ran Duan published a paper proving them wrong. The catch is in what "optimal" means. Tarjan's proof showed Dijkstra is the fastest possible algorithm IF you have to output every point sorted by distance. The Tsinghua group noticed something the field had quietly assumed for 41 years: finding the shortest path does not actually require that sorting. The problem just asks for the distances. They combined Bellman-Ford's batch updates with a recursive partial ordering trick from Duan's own 2023 paper. Instead of sorting the frontier, they cluster the boundary nodes and only explore the representatives. The new bound is O(m log^(2/3) n), beating the 1984 ceiling. Best Paper at STOC 2025. The reframe came before the algorithm. Tarjan did not prove Dijkstra was the best shortest path algorithm. He proved Dijkstra was the best sorted-output shortest path algorithm. The field treated those as the same problem for four decades. They are not. Every speed limit you have memorized has a definition wrapped around it. Crack the definition and the limit breaks. The world's most settled algorithm just got beat by someone asking what problem it was actually solving.

@shadcn we're good, thanks.

How can I make shadcn/ui better for you? What do you need?

@jurnalhabertr fazla tevazunun sonu gamerdan nasihat dinlemektir

Jahrein: (Şebnem Ferah) "Özellikle kadınlar Şebnem Ferah'ı falan 'queendir, muindir' falan diye savunmaya çalışıyorsunuz... Bir bilseniz aslında perde arkasında nasıl bir insan olduğunu. Ben Özlem Tekin ile aynı sene konservatuvarda okumuş kuzeni olan birisi olarak söyleyeyim; sırf ondan duyduklarım bile bundan ta yıllar önce kendisi hakkında fikrimin oluşması konusunda bana yardımcı olmuştu o hikayeler. Ve müzik endüstrisinden tanıdığınız birileri varsa size anlatsın, başta Özlem Tekin olmak üzere, bu Şebnem Ferah'ın kaç tane kadın sanatçının önünü kestiğini, nasıl onların celladı olduğunu. Özellikle kadınlardan ricam, öyleymiş gibi görünen herkese sarılmayın, olur mu? Yani sizin düşüncelerinize, amacınıza ve yaşam stilinize hiç yakışmayacak birisi Şebnem Ferah. Bana inanmazsanız kendiniz de araştırıp öğrenebilirsiniz."

@bcherny I thought I saw Paul Kalkbrenner

Hello from Code with Claude!

@TheLOSTworld_ From is coming close, from the same producers. Yet I don’t think it can dethrone

Every time, I’m more convinced: no mystery series will ever top LOST.
