Why would I pay $15/month for your software when I can plan, build, review, improve, host, launch, scale, secure, patch, monitor and debug it myself?

a weird inversion with LLMs is the models improve faster than the tinkerers
when i see people with custom workflows and setups they're all addressing problems that don't exist anymore
the person naively using vanilla codex is more likely to be experiencing state of the art

Researchers proved AI has deleted every reason universities exist.
Harvard University ran a controlled experiment pitting a custom AI against their own top-tier classrooms.
And the results are going to collapse the higher education bubble.
They took 194 undergraduates and split them up.
One group learned physics in one of Harvard’s best hands-on, active-learning physical classrooms. Group work. Instructor support. The premium university experience.
The other group went home and learned the exact same material with an AI tutor.
The AI didn't just win. It embarrassed the institution.
Students using the AI learned more than twice as much as the students in the elite Harvard classroom.
They scored 30% higher on the final assessment.
And they did it in less time.
Let that sink in.
A piece of software sitting on a laptop outperformed a world-class faculty in one of the most elite learning environments on Earth.
Universities have always justified their exorbitant tuition with two things: access to elite knowledge and the physical classroom experience.
This study just proved both of those moats are gone.
When software can teach you complex physics twice as well as a $60,000-a-year institution, the math of higher education breaks permanently.
The AI didn't just give the students answers. It used strict pedagogical guardrails. It guided. It questioned. It forced the students to do the cognitive work.
It offered perfect, one-to-one tutoring, personalized to the exact moment a student misunderstood a concept.
That level of attention is mathematically impossible to scale in a physical lecture hall.
For a thousand years, the university was the only place to get a premium education.
Now, it’s the bottleneck.
If AI can double your learning speed for a fraction of the cost, what exactly are students taking on decades of debt to pay for?

There's been a ton of talk about the role of humans in code review, and when and how humans should be signing off on changes.
I believe that, long-term, humans have no role in routinely reviewing code.

this is what i was talking about earlier
when you're young you try to design the perfect system with neat rules that guarantee stability
eventually you learn that real stability comes from messy, organic, bottom up systems that feel chaotic and uncomfortable
sounds wild to let everyone have full access to this stuff but it's probably the only thing that will actually work

To the hacker who attacked me on Sep 1:
I haven't had any income for 3 years. the $170k you transferred out is all my savings — the money supports me write my code 16+hrs per day for chasing my dream.
I have to move on, I need to provide for my family and keep chasing my dream. I would appreciate it if you could return some of it, for the rest, you won.
for the timeline:
1. 6am UTC, you withdrew my funds from @Morpho
2. 9am UTC, you exchanged them into ETH on @base and into BTC, I had a 3-hour window, but I didn't get my alerts about the activities of my account, that is my fault
3. 9am UTC — same time, you hacked all my twitter accounts.
I still have no clue how I got hacked. over the past few months, 3 apps were installed on my mac: one from a well-known company, one a well designed OSS project and one developed by my previous colleague's kids. I chose to trust all three.
so it's very likely you came in through the supply chain? but even the ACP I was using these days was the official version and pinned. with @claudeai's help, it suggested you may have used osascript + System Events to do the phish for my passwd, then take my @googlechrome sessions.
I was heavily developing my desktop app, that is so sad, but you reminded me that the sandbox env for agents is more important than I thought, which leads me to focus more on this part in @crabtalk_ai , thanks for that point.

Doesn't matter if you like @dhh or not, you can't discredit what he's done in good faith.
I've created 3 distros, 2 of them grew to among the most utilized operating systems in the enterprise (CentOS and Rocky), if I can give credit where it is due, so can others.

There is a child with a rare disease who is currently suffering and struggling to manage his symptoms. Rare as this is, you can directly help him.
Today we are launching the "Rare Disease, Real Kid" Hackathon, and there are $50,000 in prizes from @AnthropicAI and @awscloud.
We (@huggingface & @Sagebio) are helping this child open his genome and clinical data to the community, so that we can find what's caused his disease and what currently-approved drugs could help him.
I doubt I need to motivate this much further or explain how rare it is for a family to share their child's genome and clinical data, but if you're not sure, consider this:
Until very recently, it wasn't feasible for patients like this to get treatment because their disease was so rare that the economics could never justify the investment. Now, as we've seen, people with rare diseases are starting to be able to find the answers themselves (with the help of AI tools, cheaper sequencing, etc). This kid is not able to do that for himself and neither are his parents, so we're asking you for help. Both for this kid and to prove that it's possible for everyone else suffering from a rare disease.
More details in 🧵.

I built a version of Omarchy that runs on your MacBook.
I wanted to try out Omarchy before doing a full install, but I only have an M series MacBook so I would have to find a laptop etc.
So I decided to create something that allows people to test and run Omarchy on their devices so they can understand how it feels.
Now you can run Omarchy Quattro as a native, hardware-accelerated app on your Apple Silicon Mac! 🤯
I tried many things, and this approach achieved the best results. The native keyboard experience with Super shortcuts works very well, along with all the rest.

Today I'm releasing the first alpha of the OmaPilot plugin for @OmarchyLinux and looking for more testers to iron out the Omarchy harness.

Going to double down on the MacBook mission with Omarchy. We almost have perfect coverage for the vintage Intel era going from 2009-2020. There's a straight shot to get the M1 and M2 machines going too, even if it's a lot more work. But we'll do the work. We'll fix everything.

@Plinz, have LLMs accidentally made strong free will harder to believe? They deliberate, explain reasons and appear to choose, yet underneath we find only state transitions plus sampling. What would we need to discover in humans that is not just a richer version of this?

This is a great real-world example of AI-assisted coding: Linus Torvalds just fixed a nasty Linux kernel GPU bug with substantial help from AI.
The bug caused part of Intel Xe GPU compression metadata storage to be incorrectly exposed as usable VRAM, resulting in corrupted page tables and black screens. The eventual fix was basically a one-liner: round_up() → round_down().
Finding it was the hard part: 24 debugging patches and 18 kernel boots. Linus says AI did much of the grunt work, repeatedly adding debug code and analyzing the results as he narrowed down the problem.
The funniest part: the AI repeatedly told him the problem was "impossible and unsolvable" and suggested giving up. Linus kept pushing it until they found the bug.
And then he let the AI write the commit message. 😄

We asked an unreleased research version of Claude to take a stab at the Riemann hypothesis.
It didn’t solve it, but it did make strides on a related problem: it increased the lower bound for the fraction of zeros of the Riemann zeta function that satisfy the hypothesis from 41.6% to 67.2%.

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.
A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.
The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.
And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.
It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.
We should all stop with this modern obsession of having a perfectly balanced, optimised life (8 hours sleep, daily cardio + gym, eat well, deep work, etc.)
Most exceptional lives are heavily overallocated somewhere and any pursuit of greatness (in business, art, sport, research) requires big sacrifices.
Online gurus love selling this perfect recipe of life but reality is you only have a 24h day. No way you can sleep 8h, do 10k steps, gym, morning sunlight, read, eat perfectly, do 9h of deep work, see friends, maintain a relationship and somehow be happy through all of it.
I think a better thing for ambitious people is to think of life in seasons: a year obsessed with work, then a period focused on health, family, travel, etc. You can be massively overallocated to one thing for a while without deciding that’s what your entire life should look like. Balance probably makes more sense measured over years than every single day.

Andrej Karpathy just broke the entire premise of modern AI:
"Agents aren't magic. They're distillation at scale."
99.99% of your LLM's capacity is wasted on garbage data it never needed.
Small model + right tools + closed loop = terrifying capability.
In a 16-minute conversation, Karpathy reveals the full reasoning stack.
Worth more than any $500 AI course you've seen this year.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:
"We're a 1-2 year away from AI zooming past us."
90% of Anthropic's own engineers use Claude to ship code today.
50% of entry-level white-collar jobs gone by 2030
"Our lead Claude Code engineer hasn't written a single line of code in 2 months.
This is worth more than most paid agent courses combined.
