Well, this was painful to watch, I can't wait to read the fanboys narrative on that. Kudos to the interviewer for asking the tough questions (guess she won't be invited next year). www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEk...

Claude Opus is really good. I have a Python script that does a lot of stuff (parsing/generating/compiling code, like a makefile but on steroids) and it takes over 30 min to run on CI. I asked it to parallelize the code, it added 80 lines without altering much of the script and now it runs in 6 min.

I was looking for new trail running routes and found an interesting one near my home that crosses the woods. After digging more I found it was used as a tramway line back in 1890. The railways since disappeared and it's hard to imagine people traveling back then in steam-powered carriages.

At work we are heavily encouraged to use LLMs, I have been giving them a try and always found the experience disappointing for tasks that require a bit of thinking / iteration... until last week. I tried Claude Opus 4 (MAX mode) on a task that would have given me a full day and it did it in ~10 min.

This might be the most disappointing WWDC keynote ever? (I don't think I watched last year tho) #wwdc

Great new vision pro features for the 37 people who have bought the device. #wwdc

The section about gaming on mac was as short as the general excitement about gaming on mac. #wwdc

Workout buddy looks cool from that demo but I wonder what it says when you do marathon training and every day sucks? (but I guess no one really uses an apple watch for running?) #wwdc

All these features look nice for those who have friends. #wwdc

It's sad they are still doing pre-recorded videos instead of a live presentation. #wwdc

🤦

Logging back into social to follow WWDC! Is there a snark hashtag to follow?

thank you thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oblivion Remaster supposedly dropping today. I hesitate between starting the Windows machine and spending a few days installing software updates or just using geforce now.

Great documentary on Jasmin Paris and her performance at last year's Barkley marathons. What an amazing human being. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgTE...

I really don't get the whole Blue Origin space travel thing. You pay a fortune for an 11 minutes flight, you're in space for just a minute or so, and it's not even "real space" (as in, you're just above the earth and don't see cool shit like other planets and asteroids flying by). What's the point.

No need to switch to Rust, we finally found a way to never have CVEs ever again

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
