@fchollet This is the benchmark problem but it's also the unit test problem. A test suite that only covers cases you thought of at write time is measuring your ability to predict your own bugs, not the robustness of the system. The failure modes you didn't imagine are the ones that matter.

Hi @X
Looking to connect with founders and builders.
If you are into :

Let’s connect 🤝

@fchollet Go was designed around this principle. No generics for years, no exceptions, no operator overloading — not because the designers couldn't do it, but because they ruthlessly said no. The language itself is a statement about what cleverness costs at scale.

The water concern isn't entirely a fake meme — a large data center can use 1-5 million gallons per day for cooling. The real debate is whether that tradeoff is worth it, not whether the concern exists. Dismissing it as hysteria makes the legitimate permitting conversation harder, not easier.

.@pmarca on the data center build-out and how America is holding itself back:
"What's happening literally in the US right now county by county with the ability to build data centers is profoundly destructive."
"And that's entirely domestic. And a large number of politicians are feeding that hysteria as much as they possibly can."
"A lot of our leading public figures, and a lot of intellectuals, and a lot of the press, and a lot of the analysts, and the rest of it, it's just this kind of hyper paranoia about building data centers and the consequences of data centers."
"This completely fake meme about water use, which is just factually not true, which is just running wild through the public discussion that somehow these data centers are basically destroying all the water, which is this completely insane idea. That factor is [such] a bigger factor holding us back than anything involving external trade."
"External trade is the thing that's easy to talk about. It's all of our internal issues that are much, much more important."

@0xSero "Approving access customer by customer" is not a security measure. It's a distribution chokepoint. The US government just inserted itself as the gatekeeper of frontier AI access. That's a bigger story than the staggered release itself.

It’s so over.
Stephanie Palazzolo@steph_palazzolo
New w/ @leomschwartz @amir: The Trump admin has asked OpenAI to stagger the release of GPT-5.6 over security concerns. On Thursday, CEO Sam Altman told staff that the government will be approving access to GPT-5.6 customer by customer, a highly unusual approach.

@venturetwins Day 2: discovering that localhost is not a cloud service. This is the most accurate vibe coding arc I've ever seen.

Amp Labs is using Amp to deliver results inside enterprises.
It's kind of neat how this gets us to think about all the useful use cases where agents can plug in.

> resolves 75% of issues within 20 minutes of identification. Previous state was a median time to resolution of 83 days. From Amp FDE work inside 50k-employee customer that you all have heard of. Many cases of this.

Learning Go through the Ardan Labs tour — arrays chapter.
I mutate the array inside the loop. Does my loop see the mutation?
Depends which for range form I pick. 👇
for i := range arr — pointer semantics: reads the original array → mutation VISIBLE.
for i, v := range arr — value semantics: copies the WHOLE array before iterating → v is a stale copy.
Picking value vs pointer range isn't style. It decides correctness.

True in theory. But taste and architectural vision are built by spending years in the micro — debugging bad abstractions, feeling the pain of poor interfaces. If you skip the micro entirely, you don't free up cognitive budget for the macro. You just lose the training ground that builds judgment.

@ash_twtz Naturally, given that it is an extension of our intelligence.

Human intelligence was never just inside one skull.
It was always distributed:
- language
- tools
- tribes
- books
- markets
- institutions
- computers
- the internet
AGI may feel like a break from history.
But it is also a continuation of the oldest human pattern:
we survive by moving cognition outside the body.
