Should I ever bump into a Coca-Cola corporate employee I'm gonna ask them when we start the Boogaloo with the straightest face possible.

I hadn’t realized until now that AMD’s P/E ratio is an absolutely manic ~150.
By contrast, while Nvidia is hardly a value stock, its P/E ratio is a more modest ~58.

Oh wow! I did not see this graph. I had no idea native apps still had such a strong lead, not to mention that Flutter was doing better than React.
I remember a while back almost working with it on a project, but that never quite came to fruition.

The dominance of React Native is an obvious reason why, but I feel like an overlooked partial cause is that the mobile app frenzy arguably peaked a long time ago. Bad enough on its own, but the decline in importance makes native performance less of an issue.

Worth mentioning that Ilya’s deposition in the Musk v Altman trial dropped today, the evidence making it abundantly clear that Sam Altman was fired for lying and manipulating people, and not because of a “safety coup”.

I actually thought this was some form of satire because of how bad the video was. Like, there was no way this was meant shared sincerely.
But nah, it came from known AI shill Matt Schumer. He was actually being sincere.
Hate that guy so much and his sad fucking Twitter pfp.

Also, no idea why I capitalized ice cream. I think I really like ice cream.

Damn, if you lived in New Mexico I’d totally ask if you wanted to get Ice Cream. I’m always craving a dirt and worms sundae.

Lol, “not even the Europeans”. One has to sink very low to make the Dutch take offense, as amoral as they are.

I was trying to remember why the name sounded familiar. Turns out it's because there's a minor character in a Rick & Morty episode called Shrimply Pibbles. His name reminds me of some Rick and Morty made-up alien bullshit.

Also, having discussed this with others they made some good points that this improvement probably isn't the result of gains in the model itself, but through sophisticated internal tools and scaffolding.

When I first heard this I had so many questions. 11k lines of code is kind of relative in terms of size. I have a personal project that is larger than that, so it's kind of small. At the same time, you arguably don't need 11k lines to build a small Slack clone unless it's pretty feature rich.

I honestly think that's a substantial reason why so many people on Twitter seemed to think the Israelis did it. Imagine going through the trouble and effort of engraving something on a bullet and you settle for the most cliche shit possible

I have to admit that as someone who’s normally a skeptic seeing it deflect that missile seemed pretty compelling.

In a way they are. Most people live in such a way that their karmic reward/punishment is to be reincarnated into an armadillo. It is an unusually common fate.
Texans are the exception. They’re forced to re-live their lives, but as an okay-ish sitcom.

Allegedly the biggest improvements were in reducing the hallucination rate, but still, seeing this on the livestream was wild.

Reminds me of some comment I read about how AI executive assistants are a popular topic for founders in part because when they first hire one they’re blown away by how much they streamline life.
But most of us really don’t need an executive assistant, so we fail to “get it”.

Honestly, I thought OpenAI was going to fail when Sam Altman got fired.
Say what you will about his sleazyness, but he knows how to get investors to write checks.
