Selecting singing, redirecting to cursor domain, cursor sends back to Grok domain, Grok requests account selection, then later redirect to x ai website, and gets stuck there loading forever ๐ญ๐
Setting up @bot is a realization that software is indeed still not solved ๐
Absolutely trash experience!

Fun fact: the creator of CoreAnimation is one of the creators of SwiftUI!
The decision to run animations in the app process rather than the render server (as CoreAnimation does) was one of the earliest and most fundamental decisions we made when designing SwiftUI.
Some of the most distinctive experiences of using an iPhone, like UIScrollView rubber banding and SpringBoard app switching are only possible as client-side animations.
But these experiences arenโt easy to build with UIKit!
This is because if you want a UI to be fully interactive and interruptible by the user while itโs animating, it has to be running in the same process as the event handling.
In fact, in iOS 18 we added new APIs to AppKit and UIKit to adopt the SwiftUI client-side animation model.
There are a lot of valid critiques of SwiftUI. The fact that SwiftUI doesnโt use CoreAnimation for its animations is not one of them.
SwiftUI isnโt native and hereโs why SwiftUI apps may sometimes feel janky. It ditches the key element that made animations run so smoothly on iOS since the original iPhone: Core Animation.
In SwiftUI animations run in-app without CA backing. Block the main thread: SwiftUI ball stalls while UIKitโs keeps moving on the render server.

TIL SQLite converts integers to text two digits at a time
converting an integer to text usually means a loop of /10 and %10
sqlite avoids most of those divisions by keeping a 200-byte string of every two-digit pair from 00 to 99, and pulling two digits at a time out of it by direct index instead of computing them

โb-b-but startups need to be in person!โ
nope, zero to multibillion dollar sale in 3 years with fully remote workforce
what you ACTUALLY need is top talent obsessed with solving the customer problem
OpenRouter is joining Stripe.
We started OpenRouter with a simple mission: intelligence should be multi-model. Today, we are the largest AI marketplace & gateway, processing 10T+ tokens daily on 400+ models.
Joining @Stripe gives us the opportunity to accelerate that mission.

Announcing Discovery Loop!
I am very excited to announce that, along with my longtime friends and collaborators @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix, we are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress. The four of us have worked together for 14 to 30 years, and have helped build some of the worldโs most used products, infrastructure and AI models, and weโre excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor.

I've once seen Claude removing the test runner scripts so tests can pass ๐ญ๐
Human in the loop is still very much even these super agentic setups

Releasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3.
Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window.
New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params.
Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it โ high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale.

Open-source tech is amazingโanyone can now add neural machine translation to their apps!
Watch it accurately handle context in French, differentiating between a bank and a riverbank.
And it's all running on an old iPhone 13 thanks to @qvac
