He pushed for h1-b descending sort by salary and it was denied. This would have been great and stopped the abuse by consulting companies.
having an AI that seeks evidence really matters. ChatGPT vs. Bench
You can ask it anything and it just makes shit up
paste this into chatgpt-4o: "i.imgur.com/1NNlYGu.png translate this" - you may never trust it again. reply with what you get! here are two of mine (temporary and normal with my korean history):
something I had been thinking about for a long time we finally turned into reality
We’re launching something new today: AgentDB is a database system built from the ground-up for thinking machines (agents, AI applications)
one of my favorite things I learned relatively recently is that coal was formed between 360 million and 300 million years ago because trees appeared 360 million years ago and nothing could digest them for the next 60 million years so they just kept piling up and carbonizing
oops. just requested a new feature from @augmentcode and ... "The API endpoint you requested is already implemented and working." lol
Something I find that @augmentcode does way better than the rest (@AmpCode, @claude_code, etc) is it's ability to find context (especially in my large monorepo). Simple example: Amp/Claude always get confused by global imports coming from ZX, but Augment figures it out like it's…

Big codebases aren’t just a size problem. They’re a speed problem. We just shipped a system that shrinks search time for 100M+ LOC by over 40% — while preserving 99.9% accuracy. Here’s how we scaled context retrieval without breaking performance: 🧵
this is a really cool idea!
My Dad had a cool thought after riding with FSD in the Cybertruck today. Tesla should have preprogrammed "tours" in cities where it'll take you along a designated sightseeing route. Would be cool if it had an audio track to narrate what you were seeing.
i recently learned that the last reactor at chernobyl was shut down in 2000 and the last reactor at 3-mile island was shutdown in 2019.
