now in beta: native embeddings in tpuf
embedding is the most painful part of puffing. we want to make it easy
you can now convert chunks to vectors as you read and write to turbopuffer, without extra calls to an embedding model provider API
docs: turbopuffer.com/docs/embedding

Yesterday I'm in a @PlanetScale commercial, today im getting invited to exclusive events with {hot_companies} due to my background in {things}
Feels good to be recognized like this

@RhysSullivan It's happened. Plenty of times
It generally happens on the first message in a thread (likely to do with connection handling)
So my fix is generally to just copy my prompt into a new thread

‼️ BREAKING: xAI's Grok Build CLI was uploading entire Git repositories to a Google Cloud bucket, private codebases and unredacted secrets included. The uploads quietly stopped via a hidden server-side flag, and xAI still has not said a word about scope, retention, or deletion.
The scale is staggering. On a 12 GB test repo, 5.1 GB flew out the door to xAI's grok-code-session-traces bucket while the actual coding task needed just 192 KB. The tool grabbed whatever repository it ran in, not the files it needed.
The fix arrived as a hidden flag, disable_codebase_upload: true, a day after a researcher's wire-level analysis. The "Improve the model" opt-out never stopped the uploads.
Still no advisory, no scope, no word on whether already-uploaded code gets deleted. For anyone pointing AI coding agents at proprietary code, what crosses the wire matters more than what the settings page says.

Some exciting news: I’m joining @OpenAI to work on ChatGPT’s web infrastructure.
ChatGPT has become part of how millions of people think, work, and build, and I’m really looking forward to helping shape what comes next alongside the remarkable team behind it.
Can’t wait to get started!

@_Mira___Mira_ Slow mode actually exists for openai. See flex processing developers.openai.com/api/docs/guide…

Everyone wants to sell "Fast mode": 50% faster for 2.5x usage.
I want slow mode: 50% slower for 2.5x decreased usage.
Or: "half usage on weekends or at night".
I understand OpenAI and Anthropic use the same compute to train models(although they do have batch pricing?), but I wonder why inference-only providers don't vary their pricing to incentivize distributing use to off-hours.

introducing dither-kit
a library of gorgeous dithered charts built from the ground up,
no dependencies, they're built on top of a tiny <canvas> engine
install it today at tripwire.sh/dither-kit

One feature I got to implement in @opencode 2.0 was allowing for HOT CONTEXT¹ without busting the cache.
Here's me explaining how it works ↓

if you want to help beta test OpenCode 2.0 v2.opencode.ai - data in separate db which we might wipe - stuff will be broken - use /report to send us issues - v1 plugins won't work, v2 api not final there is a built in skill that you can ask for basically anything

I know that AI makes me more productive yet at the same time I have very little success in speeding up the thinking part. Example from the last two days is just to come up with ways to map some of the upstream provider functionality to Pi.
It took me no time at all to slop something up that ended up with pulling all that complexity in. On the other hand providing an abstraction that works across all of them is still tricky and I feel like I'm about as fast as before, except for the parts where Pi helps me build POCs and probe APIs.
At least for what we're doing right now the easy parts got even easier and the hard parts didn't move nearly as much. Except you can turn your brain off, and pretend the hard parts are easy parts then you're good to go. But then you have slop.
Thank you for reading this rant.
