My 3050 doesn’t even make the cut 😂 Guess I’ll just have to live with big Jeff’s trainium

this is how far behind apple is, they are still looking at LLMs as if it's a PEPM metric do you put quotas on how much electricity they use per month too?
NEW: Apple is cutting employee AI spending budgets even as it pushes workers to use the technology more. Engineers have seen daily limits cut from $300 to $200, with further reductions to $100 planned. Other teams could see limits fall to $25. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

this is quite literally a form of emotional abuse
I’m a big believer in rug pulling in dating. You’ve been seeing a girl for 3 weeks? Things are going insanely well. You’re giving her attention, showing interest, making plans… but you just aren’t sure Your move should be to go cold for a few days. (3 days will be all you need to know) You get your answers VERY quickly. If she’s genuinely interested, she’ll notice the change and start reaching out more If you barely hear from her, you also have your answer. Sometimes 3 days of pulling back tells you more than 3 weeks of dating. Am I wrong?

Language never mattered, it was always a crutch used by humans so we could feel special And now that’s evaporating And the BDFLs are now kings of a dinosaurs
Replying to @kitlangton
TypeScript-> Effect -> Blood sounds like a bit of rewrites for a period of time where language doesn’t matter

One lesson I’ve learned over the last 30 years, the more nerds fap over a piece of software, the more likely it is to be completely second rate.
if you're not on omp you're not a serious person btw

$300? Per Day? Are they for real? There’s people out here spending this per hour 😂

Electron made sense when ram was $3/gb Now it's closer to $20/gig and going up almost monthly Time to stop shipping slop and write some real software
Electron is great software and it is the best option for many interactive desktop applications

plus users going off here like they think they're more than 1% of revenue lol
Day 25/ We are doubling all usage limits for all Pro 100/200/500 tiers and Business Premium, effective today. We heard your kind feedback and won’t be reducing usage limits for Pro 200, so your Work and Codex usage will stay the same. We’re also going to continue offering extended limits for dots for now, and usage of your dot will still continue to be separate from your default usage. And we'll of course also keep shipping better models and other efficiency improvements that increase your effective usage over time.

GPUs now make more than federal minimum wage.
you should scramble to get compute because I have a feeling it's about to get ugly

Problems are becoming an obsolete concept
solve your own problems. it's so much easier to build a good product you use every day. i only build products i need just make sure it's something a lot of people can one day use

“Im sorry we lied to you for so long, but now that we are about to ipo we are cleaning up all the dark psychology we have used to build our brand now that we can possibly go to jail for our actions”
I lead product for Claude subscriptions. Today we're renaming our Max plans, and I want to explain why. When we launched our top plan in April 2025, it had a single limit: 5 hours. It gave you 20x Pro's limit, so we called it Max 20x. When we added weekly limits to Max 20x, we set them to 10x Pro's (the 5-hour limit stayed at 20x). I get that some new users assumed 20x applied to both limits. We could have done better here, and I'm sorry. The Ultra plan keeps the weekly limit (10x Pro), but we're removing the 5-hour limit so you can keep building without getting blocked mid-session. This starts today and rolls out in stages. To help prevent fraud and abuse, a temporary limit applies until we've verified your account. You'll get an email when your limit is removed. We've got more cooking and can't wait to share it. Thanks for building with Claude 🙏

It’s not insane, it’s literally the status quo at this point lol
This is INSANE. Cisco’s president Jeetu Patel has given a 27-year-old engineer unlimited AI tokens to try to rewrite 98% of the company’s legacy code within 24 months, Fortune reports. Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy thinks he can do it with a two-person team. He has just four weeks to prove the approach.

If you are still thinking in terms of codebases, your not imagining what is coming next

Dario was a doomer long before this. I think he went nuts over Y2K as well. Literally trust nothing he has to say
This is f*cking insane. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, the man who left OpenAI to build Claude: "80% of all entry-level lawyers, consultants and finance professionals will be completely wiped out within the next 1-5 years The ones who survive won't be the smartest people in the room. They'll be the ones who know how to put AI agents to work" In this 47-minute talk, Dario explains exactly who survives and how Chatbots → Agents → AI Employees → Entire Departments Run By AI Surviving AI doesn't mean asking a chatbot to rewrite your emails It means being the person who can plug agents into a company's work and make them run 95% of people will watch AI take their industry, the 5% who build with it will be the ones companies fight over Worth more than any $3,500 AI career course Bookmark and watch it today Then read how to plug one agent into Claude Code, Cursor and Codex in the article below ↓

i wonder how bad the latency is on this lol
Multigres is now in private alpha: high availability for Supabase Postgres. If your database fails, a standby copy takes over on its own, and data your app already saved is not lost. Organizations on paid plans can request access. Learn more → supabase.com/blog/multigres-…
