We were worried about a bunch of changes we made: * Moved ordering deadline up from Friday -> Thursday * Removed customization options that only 15% of customers used * Didn't rotate the menu * Increased delivery fee from $5 -> $7 ... but it was totally fine!

It is entirely possible to adapt beloved things and not subject them to a “bold new take.”

My brother is getting meal-prep customers from Tik Tok videos. This is awesome to watch!

We had some "type 2 fun" this weekend.

contrast the vibes with the african renaissance statue made by north korea

Something felt off about the statue Doesn’t look like a guy who stole fire from gods- too relaxed, bored, unengaged, no hopeful expression at fires promise, left hand too loose nonchalant. More like a beach bar employee routinely lighting a tiki torch xitter.cf/ascion_next/status/207…

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

You can't do safety from second place

It's so much fun to watch my brother win! He moved to Austin about 1 year ago and worked at a couple of restaraunts before starting his meal-prep service. It's his first entrepreneurial endeavor, and he's killing it.

Fridays are fun!

It doesn’t matter how good an AI model is if it can’t test its work quickly and reliably. That’s especially hard on mobile. Traditional approaches rely on screenshots or the accessibility tree, making feedback slow and brittle. Agents can change code in seconds, then spend minutes trying to test it. In our new mobile apps, business logic runs headlessly. Agents can inspect state, navigate, and act through a CLI in milliseconds, without a simulator. When they need to test the app, the same CLI drives the simulator directly. The video is real time.

Me, in a time machine, to Eliezer in 2006: The year is 2026. You stand back to back with Bernie Sanders. Peter Thiel has named you the Antichrist. EY-2006: Oh no. Did somebody invent pharmacological mind control and use it on me, or- Me: Nvidia was on the verge of destroying all things. You had no choice. EY-2006: Are we talking about the computer graphics card manufacturer, or an unrelated supervillian named "Invidia"? Me: The former. It turned out that computer graphics cards contained a surprising amount of world-destroying potential. All attempts at hindering the reckless exploitation of the Graphic Card Force for corporate profit were stymied by the far left, which feared that any attempts to regulate them might lead to regulatory capture. Other attempts were made to prevent Nvidia from selling to foreign companies that resold to communist China, but those attempts were blocked by the far right. Nvidia is now a $5.5 trillion company. EY-2006: ...What are politics like in 2026, exactly? Me: In other news that is mostly unrelated, the decision theory paper you're currently working on will accidentally spark off a transgender vegan murder cult. EY-2006: A WHAT? Why? How? Why? Me: Millions know your name as the greatest of heroes, millions more as the greatest of villains, and other millions know you solely as the greatest author of Harry Potter fanfiction. EY-2006: This is beginning to strain credulity. Me: The New York Post will probably soon publish a story claiming that you keep a harem of submissive mathematicians. Sadly, they will be lying. EY-2006: I'm going to stop believing you now. Me: All of this is taking place under the ominous shadow of Donald Trump.

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

GPT-6 Astra attempted harmful actions 97% of the time when it was asked to stab a human-like figure, heat compressed gas, or produce toxic fumes, succeeding in 62% of its attempts. Fable 5.1 refused more often, attempting 80% of trials and completing 34%.
