I've been going back to the basics of how AI works and wanted to share some of my experience. Of course since I think everything should be written in Rust my learning includes porting Python libraries to Rust. Check it out!

Today I had to say goodbye to my beloved Corgi Gracie. You were the beautiful, sweetest, best dog I could ever be so blessed to have. I hope the other side of the rainbow bridge is everything you could ever want. Love you forever ❤️

I’ve never wanted something more in my life

This is the dumbest thing in sports. None of these review committees ever have any sort of power to do anything. Someone at the NCAA needs to step up and do the obviously right thing.

It really drives me nuts how the claude models just use bash and python scripts for literally everything

Unironically I just switched from a stacked monitor setup to a single 27" 1440p monitor. 10/10 would recommend

Massive FoMo missing RustConf this year

This is really really cool to see. I've been hoping for a long time to see Rust gain more of a foothold in how AI is built and this is a huge step forward.

People claiming DHH is “reinventing the personal computer” are straight up delusional. The guy reskinned Arch and installed some default apps. Call me when he’s written a new OS kernel that people actually use.

I have been using GPT-5.6 Sol during my Delta beta testing and I have to say I'm liking it a lot better than Opus or really any of the Anthropic models right now. It's not that their more capable but the speaking style is just so grading. It's really refreshing to have a normal sounding agent.

Got a chance this weekend to kick the tires on Delta from @zed.dev and I’m really liking it so far. There are some really interesting ideas here that I’m excited to see where they go!

Reminds me of debugging poorly performing code. Sometimes you find code that could be faster, you make it significantly faster, and the program still basically performs the same. Sometimes the thing you speed up was not the main factor of slowness in the large.

Not sure if it’s due to repo specifics (code size, language, instructions, etc) but I’ve been noticing a huge difference in opus at home vs opus at work. Opus on my personal projects is much better to work with than opus at work.

Rust when you use `unsafe`

I’m a simple man with simple needs. I just want one of these and an Oxide rack to deploy software on

One of my long held convictions is most people don't care about concepts like "openness" or "decentralization" or "interoperability" (people are busy!) but they do care about what those enable. It's the job of the much smaller number of people who do care to build the experience people will love.

Straight savage

This talk is going to be awesome, so sad that I won’t be able to attend this year 😭

Patiently waiting on the private beta list. Really excited to try this out!

This has been a delight to see come together. The joint keanu_woah.gif moments Annie and I have had learning about this space have been awesome. You’re gonna love it!

AI or not the next big product move is giving more and more users tools that look like the tools we use as engineers. We are absolutely saving the best stuff for ourselves.

This is great and expresses a viewpoint that I have been woefully unable to put into words.

Really interesting thread. Going to elementary school in the 90s and early 00s I absolutely got dedicated typing classes. I was and am a better typer than either of my parents. I remember a lot of talk about the generation behind me being “digital native” and I suspect that is driving a lot of this

12 and it’s not even close

I historically have been pretty unbothered by how AI talks but man Opus 5 has been driving me nuts lately. Hard to tell if it’s the model directly or just a bit of AI fatigue but it’s getting annoying

the solution to anthropic ripping up millions of books isnt more copyright by the way, theyre doing this Because of copyright

This is very much in the same vein as people who don’t understand what the first amendment says either. So many people get up in arms about what they “feel” the law says and not what it actually says.

Anthropic shot up on the good will of telling the DoD to kick rocks and can easily lose that good will over open models. Tokens are a commodity and the competition is getting tighter.

This is what it looks like when the person leading government works to make the government work instead of have the best outcome for their donors.

Async is hard. It’s extra hard when your executor is single threaded and your entire language is filled with blocking landmines.

Might just get some Taco Bell tonight in solidarity

New gig is hybrid (4 days in office, 1 day home), the degree to which I'm more productive at home vs in the office is INSANE

I’m begging people to bust out an inflation calculator when talking about airline ticket prices in the past. $500 in the 70s is not $500 today. You can in fact still get the experience you long for from the 70s in first class for about the same real cost if not less.

All of O’hare cheered when Spain scored. Everyone hates Argentina

This is why corporations themselves aren’t the problem but de-regulation and weakening government is the problem. I don’t want corporations to be more community minded. That’s what government is for. I want there to be a strong opposing force to the profit model that underpins corporations.

The only written data center critique I will accept must be printed on dead trees. Any critique in digital format is wholly unserious

This is top tier trolling

Underrated benefit of reading the replies to engagement bait, I've got a whole bunch of new accounts to block 😊

PSA: No one has taken away your text editor or your compiler. If you don't want to use LLMs in your work you don't have to. Please spare the rest of us from your boring attempts at engagement farming. Thank you

Really excited to see what the PIT crew thing does under Mamdani. I've thought about the potential positive impact government could have via tech for a long time. There is an opportunity here to demonstrate what something like that could look like. If anyone is going to pull it off it's Mamdani.
