Imagine pounding a 30-rack with the boys here.
The fact that I cant do this in America sickens me.

In China’s Guilin, high-speed trains have become a sightseeing attraction.

@kitlangton What do you mean by shell... Cmd, pwsh or the gui windows shell
None of them is particularly slow btw. Only thing I can think of is pwsh's cold start takes about 500ms
English
Highly recommend running Windows e2e tests for all your projects.
It's basically free Chaos Monkey in that its slow-ass shell operations will surface all latent race conditions.

@eigenrobot Wasn't she a dominatrix eigen or did I misremember. Or is this a subtweet or parody

my wife was formerly cool as hell. i was a virgin, in a spiritual sense.
she had seen bands i only knew from wikipedia footnotes. basement shows, warehouse shows, shows that technically did not occur. she knew people—actual people, not just usernames—who did things. she did a lot of things herself.
then she met me and everything changed.
we got to know each other over a year. i mostly listened, hostilely. occasionally emitted some trivia like a wind-up toy. we dated for four months during which i continuously and passive aggressively resented her. this was working out well for me and we were engaged for two and a half after that.
at no point in this process did i become cool. i want to be clear about this.
our first kiss was at the altar, which, in retrospect, was probably the only context in which i could have pulled it off without fumbling like a freshman at his first mixer.
we’ve been married five years now and i still take every opportunity to remind her, everyone we meet, and total strangers passing by what a massive whore she was, and how big of me it is to forgive her anew every day.

Real. DeepSeek-Web continues changing. I'm not sure if it's actual checkpoint update or system prompt or what, but it's terser, less humanlike, faster, and yes, seems to yield technically better results. A novel starting motif is `We need to: ""`. Roughly 7 days difference:
TheseWorld@leekecey
@teortaxesTex @SymlinkX Testing DeepSeek web today shows a noticeable style change, shorter thinking time than before, and improved results.

First AI generated and "performed" song that appeals to me. It may be over.

Oh, it just got worse. The [public github issue](github.com/BerriAI/litell…) has been closed as "not planned" by the owner, so they likely have been fully compromised.

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below
English
One of the most insidious tics LLMs have when coding is this obsession with adding "fallback" behaviors everywhere
These are extremely toxic because they hide real bugs and most importantly, introduce lots of potential privilege escalation vulnerabilities everywhere

@scheminglunatic You can use most emojis in C source code with most compilers other than clang.

this isnt really obfuscated at all though, that is what i wanted to say, but then i remembered that i know how to read c and chinese both so nvm lol

this is valid C code btw

Over the last 60 days, Claude Code startup time got 2.8x faster & Claude Agent SDK 5.1x faster - while shipping tons of new features

@phl43 @philoshua He's at an age where he probably just doesn't give a fuh anymore plus He was never able to hold down a steady job due to the Dershowitz thing so he has literally nothing to lose "professionally"

As @philoshua was telling me the other day, Finkelstein is a "fascinating combination of meticulous researcher and complete personality-disordered lunatic".

@neogoose_btw Does fff have indexed search as an option? There are some domains where you have to do very frequent searches of say arbitrary uuid in a million .md files & UE deteriorates if each query takes 100ms+ to complete.
Another example is huge reference books that rarely change
English
TLDR from their words it is faster than FFF. But it makes absolutely 0 sense to me.
FFF searches same query for 250ms. But it doesn't require 550mb index and HOURS of compute to index it
Stay tuned I'll drop the article why this is the biggest lie in the file search history
Cursor@cursor_ai
Cursor can now search millions of files and find results in milliseconds. This dramatically speeds up how fast agents complete tasks. We're sharing how we built Instant Grep, including the algorithms and tradeoffs behind the design.

Confession: I'm a dumb bitch What happened was I read on twitter dot com that nicotine when not smoked is actually an amazing nootropic that helps your concentration with no negative side effect. ...aaaaand after avoiding smoking for my entire adult life I'm now addicted to zyns. The don't even feel good anymore. I'm just popping them for no reason until I feel vaguely nauseous.

@predict_addict It's a very common suspicion on the part of grad students. People also commonly suspect their ideas got stolen by referees.
The more groundbreaking you think your research is the more susceptible you are to such suspicions.

Welcome to academia. Happens all the time with a wrong advisor.
Advisor is key 🔑

I just saw PHD student saying her paper was stolen by her advisor and he published it under his name. Is this something that opens often ? I am shook

@sichuan_mala They are usually from lower class backgrounds & motivated by the exact same goals as most of the rest, who've been socialized to be more subtle about it.

@decadimitry Gary is probably buying it illegally from India like most people do. Check out r/afinil and related subreddits.
Whether this warrants immediate arrest of Gary and seizure of all his properties is a question I won't pretend to decide in this comment.
English
Who's prescribing Garry Modafinil, and for what? And if he doesn't have a script for a schedule IV controlled substance... well, I've heard a few Garry rants about what should be done to people who use illegal drugs.
Kat Scott 🐀@kscottz
I don't have a problem with people using drugs, but one of the reasons I left my old job is because a sr. dev suggested a jr. dev take Modafinil and have an all night coding session. I felt like that crossed a line. Also aren't these the same people screaming about fentanyl?

@eigenrobot Eigen isn't this made in China?

spent $800 on a canopied stroller wagon today so my wife can push the kids around this summer like she's some kind of palanquin-wallah transporting the infantes
makes sense locally but how did we end up here

@teortaxesTex Clear psyops whose sole purpose is to expose those who bought them as subhuman worms 😂

So were there actually any missiles on Diego Garcia, or is this one of the wildest psyops in history?
Dr Rhonda Garad Difficult by Design@RhondaGarad
Update Diego Garcia: Further info shows the most likely scenario is that NO missiles were fired on or near Diego Garcia. No credible satellite, radar, video or debris has been released to show any missiles were fired at or near Diego Garcia—only claims from unnamed US officials first made by Reuters and repeated. Iran denies it. UK and in-depth investigation disputes Iran has missile capability beyond 2-3k. Looks like a nothing burger started by unnamed US Govt sources and just repeated without critical examination.
