This is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen. He converted a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram (PNG -> Soundwave) then played it to a Starling who sung it back reproducing the PNG. Using the birds brain as a hard drive with 2mbps read write speed. youtube.com/watch?si=HMtVd…
Last night I caved to peer pressure and really went all in on ai coding tools using open code and qwen-coder to attempt to get some kind of performance gains out of my output. I just don't think it's meant to be used to generate C (except one scenario). I had to be so very…
I know this guys controversial, but this is actually very good advice.
startup "truth" i disagree with: don't pay high cash comp we now pay 250k-350k base for designers and 300k-1m base for software engineers thread on why everyone is wrong (except me and zuck):
Playing around with metaprogramming in zig's comptime and it is *absurdly* powerful. Things you can technically achieve in rust or c++ (but would be very complex) are trivial
You can just do things
implemented lipsync for @grok like AI characters in C. still early, but some procedural animations and soft body physics, and this character can feel pretty alive.
This is my experience with US big tech as well. We just waste mountains of cash doing stupid things because at the end of the day it’s still profitable
every time you read a tech report from a SOTA open-source model that basically puts to shame 99% of western labs' models (besides the absolute top 2 ones), it always reads like: "yeah we basically curated very high quality data, carefully generated a lot of data [due to not being…
I've been really diving into Zig and I think that I can get more readable code in many less lines than C. This is the first language I've tried that (so far) doesn't have me yearning for C.
For this game jam I'm using raylib and emscripten and its really validating my NIH syndrome
The funniest part of this is VW/Audi group recently laid off their infotainment devs and paid rivian $5bn to do their in car software 🙄
I wish, but piracy and plex seem more likely
is it out of the realm of possibility of a recession so bad happening that everyone stops paying for streaming services and reverts back to physical media so hard it causes the Blockbuster boom to return.
I basically don't trust "studies" of any kind ever any more, but, this matches anecdotal observations: x.com/METR_Evals/sta…
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
After a few months working on other things I'm picking back up my project of writing a small game in zig for the playdate
That F1 movie was way better than it had any right to be. Amazing cinematography, great earnest story, and credible acting. Maybe Apple should just retire from the tech business and become a full-time movie producer!
This is kinda my experience with any ai agents I play with
I tried using Claude Code to write platform-specific SIMD implementations for several functions I never got around to optimizing. I gave it full control to modify the code, run tests, benchmark, and make any tweaks it deem necessary. And here's the most amazing part: it actually…
I’ve wasted so many years planning when I could have been doing
stop planning. just stop. there is literally no fucking point. my business plan? make money. i will simply do the thing that has the highest future probability that will make money. i won't sit there and think about it all day and pat myself on the back for thinking so hard
