@alediaferia You're right about all of it. Now it's just a matter of completeness and speed.
For most of software history, production has been the end of the pipeline. Build. Test. Deploy. Run. We’re approaching a world where production becomes the beginning of the next iteration.
Introducing HyperQuant: A new Lattice-based compression algorithm that significantly improves LLM key-value cache memory over TurboQuant and OCTOPUS, and with higher accuracy! But it gets better - we apply the same compression technique to weights, outperforming Higgs! Finally, (for the first time ever?), we show how to compress video DiT weights. demo on LTX-2. Easy to integrate: we release a reference kernel code with the paper, under MIT license. This is a calibration-free, post-training quantization. Disclaimer: performance will get much better in next releases. Links and key results in next tweet.
Every bug report, support ticket, incident, and customer request is a specification. We just haven’t had systems that could consume them directly. aicoding.leaflet.pub/3mjx4erlboc2l
Most of software engineering is the process of discovering the difference.
The first version of a system reflects the designer’s understanding of the problem. The tenth version reflects reality.
"Have your agent call my agent." What does finding your people look like in an agentic web? @serensandikci & @hyperseref demonstrated how at @JoinEdgeCity's @EdgeEsmeralda last week. We're sharing more insights from the live agent village experiment soon...👀
Let's prove @chadfowler right... 16 years later! railsdeveloper.com/survey/
This could prove to be a valuable Rails resource http://railsdeveloper.com/ Nice job Planet Argon!
@nic_carter Or imagine if you didn't support a piece of trash autorcrat that clearly never cared about anyone other than himself (including his children). How embarrasing.
Never been more honored than with this distillation! I’ll pick 3 faves: “Nobody cares that you’re not dead” — on startups and markets. “Say the quiet part out loud” — (repurposing 9) most effective way to align as a team. No sacred cows. “Privacy survived on nobody bothering. That’s over.” It’s a brave new world, filled with danger and opportunity.
19 Lessons from Henri Stern of Privy & Stripe on Moral Technology, Useful Crypto, and the Market’s Terrible Manners 1. Technical decisions are moral decisions. 2. Sit at the table, or someone who cares less will take your seat. 3. An honest toaster beats a phony mission. 4.
Very excited for @iroh_n0 today! To celebrate, let's play ASCII-art terminal-based p2p battle royale! Iroh makes this sort of thing trivial.
Today @iroh_n0 shipped iroh 1.0, a milestone for peer-to-peer networking. Dial any device by its public key, not an IP, for a direct encrypted connection. 200M+ endpoints on their relays last month. Proud to have backed @n0computer at seed. Congrats to Brendan O'Brien and team!
@chadfowler I think this goes doubly so for stateful systems like databases. We kind of molded our tools and workflows around local development as much as we could, with stateless being the default, but that mental model doesn’t make sense anymore.
Are crypto people at least a little embarrassed to still be on this centralized extractive platform?

@cyantist I would have assumed it was a poorly named brand that I've never heard of because shit changes too fast to pay attention to all the flashes in the pan that dominate the cycle
