They had to discontinue these because millennials started worshipping them like pagan deities

Had a Jane Street interview in 2014 End of round 5. Interviewer says "round 6 will find you." Three weeks. Nothing. I'm in line at the Trader Joe's on 14th. Line snakes past the frozen aisle, the way it always does. I'm holding a bag of orange chicken and a four-pack of cold brew concentrate. Guy in front of me is in a Patagonia vest over a quarter-zip. Not turning around. Inching his cart forward every 30 seconds. Picks a box of something out of his own cart. Holds it up over his shoulder without turning around. "Ant on a corner of this box. Walks to the opposite corner along edges. How many shortest paths." "Six." "Now in 4 dimensions." I think. Tesseract. One edge per dimension, any order. "4!. Twenty-four." "Confidence." "0.85." "Correct on both counts." Offer Monday. $69k base (which I'm told is a 'cultural fit discount'). No bonus. No equity. No relocation. They will, however, allow me to name one (1) colocated server in their NY4 cage. I take my time. This is the only thing I'm being given. I submit "Steve." Already a Steve. I submit "Steve2." Discouraged naming pattern. I submit "Steven." Confusing with Steve. I submit "Big Steve." Big Steve exists in NY5. I submit "my Steve." Approved. Two weeks into onboarding, IT pings the eng channel: "my Steve is down." Three engineers respond at once asking which Steve. The thread spirals. Someone clarifies: "it's named 'my Steve.'" Someone replies "yes but whose." A VP joins the thread: "is this a possessive or a proper noun." Nobody knows. A meeting is called. The meeting is titled "re: my Steve." Nine engineers attend. The first ten minutes are spent establishing whether the meeting title refers to the server or to a Steve belonging to the meeting organizer. The meeting organizer is named Devesh. Devesh does not know a Steve. Offer rescinded Friday. Reason listed in the email as: "Introduced ambiguity into production naming taxonomy. Unrecoverable." I'm no longer allowed in the building. I am also, somehow, no longer allowed in the Trader Joe's on 14th. The doors don't open for me. I have tested this six times. The orange chicken is still in there. Three bags deep on the shelf, frozen, waiting. I think about it every day.

Im doing FIRE so i can retire at 31 and go on my phone until i die

@MurrayHillGuy1 Not legit but who cares

What do we think, legit reps?

Benefits of caffeinemaxxing: - life is beautiful - resting heart rate 600bpm - you feel alive - work seems bearable - increased concentration - ability to see sounds - confidence boost

Claude is winning because rich people are providing the training data Poor meta has to train AI with the peasants of the internet Long term this will have fascinating outcomes and personality style differences as people put feedback into the system

Paedophile Maid Café Island pulls ahead of magical realism and samba festivals in the "loving of life and connection and other living breathing human beings" metric

This Chinese humanoid robot just shattered the world record for a half marathon, finishing in 50 min 26 sec. This video shows its crash just meters before the finish line where it had to be picked up by a team of humans. The robot is from Honor, the smartphone maker and Huawei spin-off. This robot was teleoperated while others were autonomous. It seems like all the robots had battery swaps along the way.

This is a million times dumber and more harmful than what Timothée said

Beta alanine makes pop music sound 2x better

@dumbandfunn It’s correct tho. All hills and log cabins out there

no middle ground, brutal

that Ohio cut off is crrrrazy

Literally all I need in life is a large vibrant friend group full of extroverted nerds, a beautiful smart funny gregarious girlfriend, and a high paying job that is both intellectually rewarding and socially impactful. That can’t be too hard right?

CEOs coding is sort of like generals leading charges, clearly very inefficient but good for morale.

I still can’t believe no Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt-tier hotel chain has tried to own the “best gyms” category yet.

Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability. The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest round of state of the art agentic models of this year, especially OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. But that brings me to the second issue. Even if people paid $200/month to use the state of the art models, a lot of the capabilities are relatively "peaky" in highly technical areas. Typical queries around search, writing, advice, etc. are *not* the domain that has made the most noticeable and dramatic strides in capability. Partly, this is due to the technical details of reinforcement learning and its use of verifiable rewards. But partly, it's also because these use cases are not sufficiently prioritized by the companies in their hillclimbing because they don't lead to as much $$$ value. The goldmines are elsewhere, and the focus comes along. So that brings me to the second group of people, who *both* 1) pay for and use the state of the art frontier agentic models (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code) and 2) do so professionally in technical domains like programming, math and research. This group of people is subject to the highest amount of "AI Psychosis" because the recent improvements in these domains as of this year have been nothing short of staggering. When you hand a computer terminal to one of these models, you can now watch them melt programming problems that you'd normally expect to take days/weeks of work. It's this second group of people that assigns a much greater gravity to the capabilities, their slope, and various cyber-related repercussions. TLDR the people in these two groups are speaking past each other. It really is simultaneously the case that OpenAI's free and I think slightly orphaned (?) "Advanced Voice Mode" will fumble the dumbest questions in your Instagram's reels and *at the same time*, OpenAI's highest-tier and paid Codex model will go off for 1 hour to coherently restructure an entire code base, or find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. This part really works and has made dramatic strides because 2 properties: 1) these domains offer explicit reward functions that are verifiable meaning they are easily amenable to reinforcement learning training (e.g. unit tests passed yes or no, in contrast to writing, which is much harder to explicitly judge), but also 2) they are a lot more valuable in b2b settings, meaning that the biggest fraction of the team is focused on improving them. So here we are.
