Big Token is at it again
Claude Code is getting a brand new feature: custom subagents. Type `/agents` to get started.
fellas is it gay to heterosexually mix your sperms with another dude
Telegony is trending, so let’s clear up some misconceptions: A woman doesn’t have to get pregnant for “foreign DNA” to permanently persist in her system. Any act of insemination (even via ingestion) leads to spermatozoa-somatic cell fusion. These hybrid cells are irrevocably…
an AI that could file taxes and purchase health insurance without having a panic attack would already be more capable than every millennial
1/ Can AI file your taxes? Not yet. We tested the latest frontier models and the results were full of catastrophic errors. Letting AI do your taxes would mean IRS rejections, audits, and penalties:

We already are. Just through a fairly narrow communication bottleneck.
what if I told you that OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and xAI will all be working together in a few years
Gen Z has a particular nihilism I call "get my bag" culture — the mentality of "everyone's grifting, so I better get my own." They've never voted without Trump on the ballot; all content is sponcon unless proved otherwise; post-truth politics is all they know. The president's…

there are very serious ai models (qwen) across many modalities (qwen, qwen vl, qwen audio, qwen coder) that anyone can download and start building with
Having covered the open AI models coming out in the last 2-3 years -- the ecosystem is maturing. There are very serious AI models across many modalities that anyone can download and start build with. If you've ignored open models for a while, now is the time to reconsider them.
Tokasaurus, the "little LLM engine that could" by @jordanjuravsky and @EyubogluSabri of @HazyResearch/@ScalingIntelLab, is capable of some pretty impressive perf. We replicated their report of >80k tok/s for 16bit LLaMA 3.1 8B on Large Language Monkeys GSM8K - and you can too!
A collection of appropriate fasteners used to be the mark of a real adult. Now it means you're a boomer or autistic. Can gen alpha children even name two of these objects?
wrong. they will start using Zed
Prediction: I think a large number of leading-edge devs will stop using IDEs in the next 12 months. I've always used an IDE because I like the UI, but I find that for agentic coding, there's now a huge amount of cruft in the IDE UI that just slows me down and slows the agent…
