it’s kinda insane that we know how effective spaced repetition is for learning but ~all schools just choose to do nothing with this information

I made a spaced repetition WhatsApp bot with eve - get daily text reminder to train - track mastery on each topic - add new cards by sending photos At 1:20 I show the new Agent Runs dashboard where you get a production chat history log with all reasoning traces and tool calls

What the hell do you mean, "One typo slipped into the commit message", and how do you typo a Chinese character? I promise Anthropic I'm not coming for your crown with this 20 million param chess prediction model. You don't have to sabotage my "research" with this nerfed Fable

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

I've never been more thoroughly owned than when I ordered a shake in the company Doordash order, it exploded over the other items in-transit, and @delk called it a highly asymmetric downside play

8yo [to 5yo precariously balancing her cup on her plate]: "That's literally asymmetric downside. Like dad talks about."

Don't worry, you're not bad at chess. You're actually bad at everything. Chess is just one of the only things with a good rating system.

If you're a #chess adult improver (below 2300 online) and have never worked with me, I have a great offer for you which extends till the end of December! DM me to know more about the discount and let's train hard and get that rating moving up! #chesspunks #chesscoach

Decades of Clean Code obsession has poisoned AI training When you say "simplify this", they hear "move this stuff around to other places" Guaranteed net-positive lines of code via any AI "simplification"

95% of X ads engagement is fake, because advertising posts react on tap start instead of tap end, so they accidentally activate all the time while trying to scroll your feed. This is both terrible for users (me), and advertisers (also me) @nikitabier

👀 React Native 1.0 is finally on the horizon Announced at React Universe Conf, they will share the plan to reach 1.0 soon! RN recently: - improved its release process (6x/year) - stabilized and clarified its public APIS - introduced workflows to catch breaking changes

This "Horizon Beta" model is sort of GOATed. I gave it a prompt to figure out a non-negative loss function for a gamma distribution head, to prevent gradient interference, and it nailed it. Sonnet, Grok, Qwen3 275B, Kimi K2 had all fallen flat on their face on the same task
