I continue to be extremely impressed with our bankers at @MorganStanley. To be able to submit a wire transfer, while on a call with the team at @remote, confirm in the app, and have it all wrapped up before hanging up? PRICELESS 🏆 Related
Machine learning engineer and independent AI consultant. He writes about LLM evaluation, tooling and applied ML at hamel.dev, and previously worked on machine learning at GitHub.
Excited about this! I've been impressed with raindrop so far. It helps you look at your data 🥰 and generate data (via simulations) to help you find errors. Quoting @benhylak Today, we are announcing our Series A and a new product: @raindrop_ai Simulations. We've now raised $50m from @CRV and @lightspeedvp to protect the world from agent failures, big and small. Related
Working on @ampcode. Writing registerspill.thorstenball.com. Once authored interpreterbook.com and compilerbook.com.
Very impressed by the TypeSafe/Jev onboarding. They knew they needed to overcome the question of "wait, so it's not an LLM?" and then threw everything at it. Really good. LLMs Related
Creator of Flask and Jinja. Writes about software at lucumr.pocoo.org.
Played around with Jev before I went to bed and I'm really impressed. It also fits so perfectly well for so many applications where traditional LLMs so far were just not viable for either speed or cost reasons. I bet we will see some fast followers. Quoting @CompleteSkeptic After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output toke… LLMs Related

Late to the party, but wow is Viktor a great product. I'm impressed with the quality of work + output, even without particularly good prompting. I wish it wasn't so noisy in Slack, but not really an easy problem to solve. It's the right spot, so just need to deal with it. Related
Physicist and science communicator. Writes Backreaction and makes videos explaining new physics and astronomy results, frequently to argue that the headline about them overstates the case.
Woke up this morning with what is clearly an eye infection. Not good. Got the kids on the way to school. 7:30 I book an online appointment with a doctor. I send two photos. 7:35 I have phone chat with the doctor. 7:38 I have an electronic prescription for antibiotic drops. 7:59 I am standing in front of the pharmacy which opens at 8:00 8:15 back home, dripping my eye 9:00 the infection has visibly pretty much cleared out I am actually impressed by how flawlessly this all worked. I was fully prepared it'd eat up an entire day. Related

Former L8 engineer at Meta, Microsoft and Atlassian, now writing and building solo on agentic engineering. Writes Kun's Field Notes and posts a lot about AI coding agents on X.
this thing was widely reported as “the end of programming” in 1981 https://t.co/j0cok5NZKf right before that, in 1960s, people thought COBOL would allow everyone to build whatever software they wanted and there’s no need for programmers now the same people in the same bubble think agents will finally end it, because they spent a weekend and got impressed by how quickly the agent could produce a toy. now they think that’s how everyone wants to spend their weekends open your eyes - most regular humans don’t even want to talk to an agent Related

Two internet pages that has been low key crushing it for me lately is @modal and Cloudflare. So good. Especially impressed by Modal. Feels like the Linear/Stripe of infra (“just do what they do and you’ll be fine because they thought through every detail”) Related

German developer; founder and lead developer of Mastodon, the decentralized open-source social network.
RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/117117221397911074 After hearing feedback from people struggling with #Mastodon’s layout and navigation for a long time I’m really looking forward to these changes. And I’m really impressed with the work @imanijoy has put into researching user needs with surveys, interviews, and round tables. I feel like the community has never been so represented in the design process before. The screenshots are marked “in progress” for a reason though—it’s a process. Related

Writer and developer. He runs the Latent Space newsletter and podcast about AI engineering, and writes essays on software and careers at swyx.io.
Trajectory have generally impressed me with their tasteful execution on ambitious goals. on our Continual Learning track, @rronak_ gave a very thoughtful overview on how they're tackling the main data problems left in CL, including why GRPO isn't enough and they had to go on-policy.... and then subsequently fix all the issues that come up with it nice overview from one of the early leaders in this field! (see the rest of the track for more, this one was quite stacked) Quoting @trajectorylabs It's time to rethink RL. Translating real world use into model improvements requires redesigning post-training algorithms for non-verifiable, per token rewards. At @aiDotEngineer 's World Fair, we share our insights into scaling algorithms like SDPO for continual learning. Related

Co-founder of Sundial; former vice president of product design at Facebook; author of The Making of a Manager; writes The Looking Glass.
I'm impressed with Claude Design. I see its disruption starting with smaller teams. As a founder I find myself turning to it more and more for the convenience of one-off design tasks. Sure, it's super slow, and one-shot quality is not quite there, and its image capabilities suck, but using it in between multi-tasking other things, it's helping me move faster. As @HarryStebbings says the "all-in-one" Claude interface has a huge psychological advantage as being the place people are already working. I don't think it's a great tool yet for a designer-designer (the speed / control dials are not ye… Quoting @HarryStebbings Why we switched from Figma to Claude Design “I let the team do whatever is best for them, and this is a trend I've observed amongst almost everybody: Claude Design has done a great job. People really like using it, it's easy to use, and we've had a natural movement towards it. It's also easier to n… Anthropic Related

Their words
And I believe the best product CEOs are in the minutia of the details. you know, all the stories about Steve Jobs. I was so impressed when I heard that he insisted on picking out the carpeting in the conference rooms, you know, and and I tried to have that same mentality of micromanaging the really small pixel level details that matter.

Their words
know your goal or suffer a death by a thousand compromises. Because what I had done my whole career and most of us do is compromise to get that next engineer, CTO, investor. You put a jerk on your board because you impressed with their firm name and the valuation and all your friends are going to be impressed and it's going to be so much easier. We make all these compromises and contort ourselves and eventually we wake up and it's company we don't want to work at.

Their words
I was not impressed with the DGX Spark; it's described as an "AI supercomputer on your desk" but in reality it has lower tokens/sec than a good laptop GPU - and on top of that, you have to figure out the networking details of how to connect to it from your actual work device etc.

Exciting PlasticList update: We were honored to work with @bobaguys to identify and eliminate the sources of BPA contamination, and their teas are now BPA-free! They have fully transitioned to BPA-free receipt paper, which PlasticList confirmed to be BPA-free through independent lab testing. They have also switched to brown sugar in BPA-free packaging. We have been impressed with their commitment to get to the bottom of the issue and move fast to remove BPA from their supply chain. If you want healthy and delicious tea, I highly recommend Boba Guys! Quoting @natfriedman Advice for Food Companies Since we launched PlasticList, we’ve been heartened to have quite a few food companies reach out and ask for help interpreting their results and tracking down and eliminating their contamination. I’ve had calls with a bunch of these. I am happy to report that no food compa… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
