TFW you talk to Claude to sharpen your idea and it’s like “yes, of course you have this idea. Bret Victor put this idea in your head a decade ago”

Neat; this is faster inference for a price, not less reasoning/lower quality like I assumed it would be. Can confirm that it's very fast.
If you haven’t tried Fast Mode with Opus 4.6 yet, I highly encourage you to do so 🚀
It’s… fast!

Its really interesting how the bots adapt their behavior to different memetic environments to better prey on people. On X: porn bots, crypto scams. On linkedin: gpt productivity slop. On bluesky: gaza donation bait

uses as much CPU as a game engine for an idling TUI
(and I still use it, so I guess I can't argue too much with their priorities)

Occasionally I want to share text files quickly+easily and GitHub Gists are... not good at basic line wrapping.
What should I be using instead? Is the answer "just write your own service"?

it legit rules that the best bluesky feed is run on some guy's computer and he also plays games on that same computer
Fun fact, playing Overwatch increases For You response time from 90ms to 115ms.

people talk about how we’re in a cyberpunk dystopia but this thread is maybe the only thing that has ever made me feel that way
My new thing is watching Romanian dudes in French jails stream on TikTok Live. This guy is locked in Lyon up for robbing a jewelry store, awaiting trial. He said the going rate for a phone inside is €800. Anyway, here he is, uh, “flirting” with a woman in Paraguay. The internet is amazing.

We take it for granted today, but a single 6W embedded NPU can do more tensor operations per second than a peasant in the 1400s could perform in his whole lifetime
