If this is what has employees at Proton in revolt, they're in for a rough ride as the age of agents unfold. There is nothing scandalous in this memo. It's hilarious that 404 is treating it as such.

a weird thing about OSS pull requests these days is we don't know what model was used for it and our internal setup provides better tools to the agent
so they're almost always worse than sending the prompt ourselves
it's mostly useful for environments we cannot recreate

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.

Using an "Agentic Ready OS" is changing the way I use computers…
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%.
