• Fei-Fei Li Korrent 4 Sept The biggest problem in robotics today is data, not chips; chips become the bottleneck later. We should zoom out and recognize the biggest problem right now in robotics is actually data. One day it'll be chips, but for now it's data.
• Mark Manson x.com 12 Sept Been reading all these 9/11 stories today and realized that there are so many heroes that walk among us. We just never find out because we are so blessed to never have to live through a moment that requires them. Never…
• Brad DeLong Korrent 16 Sept If AI hardware depreciates faster than assumed, the economics of the debt-financed AI capex boom invert and today's leverage turns reckless. If the useful life of an NVIDIA H100-vintage cluster turns out to really be three years rather than six, the capex cycle's economics invert, and the leverage that looked prudent looks reckless.

• Razib Khan Korrent 20 Aug Modern humans, not Neanderthals, were the fearsome party in their encounters with archaic humans. Today, it seems more likely that it was we who were the monsters out of the dark, the demons about which Neanderthal mothers would tell their little-ones.

• Noam Brown Korrent 26 Jun A frontier lab should not spend its researchers harvesting results out of today's models; the payoff is in building the next one. we are trying to encourage people to not spend all their time just like going through all the mathematical open problems physics problems and um just seeing pushing the models to their limits to see what they can prove…
• Jeff Kaplan Korrent 11 Mar Overwatch put too much weight on whether the team won; a hero shooter built today should foreground individual contribution, because that is how people actually play. So I would, if I was to redo it today, or for any aspiring hero shooter makers out there, I would actually downplay the team factor, and try to put more focus on individual contribution.
• Adam Mastroianni x.com 23 Oct 2024 New study out today! We had a bunch of Democrats and Republicans do an Ideological Turing Test. People either portrayed themselves or pretended to be from the opposite party, and then another group tried to pick out the…
• Noam Brown Korrent 26 Jun Running a model until its performance plateaus is no longer a usable evaluation rule, because a well-scaffolded model keeps improving for weeks. But what we're seeing today with the modern models is that 5.5 and other models can think for if you scaffold them reasonably well, can think for weeks even um before having performance plateau on some of these…
• Evan Spiegel Korrent 26 Apr Computers and phones isolate people from one another, and the point of the next computer is to reverse that. one of the things that I noticed about computers and I think today with mobile phones, uh is that in many ways they isolate us from one another, right? They actually take us out of our social interactions.
• Dylan Patel Korrent 13 Mar An H100 is worth more today than it was when it was new, because the models it runs got better faster than its replacements arrived. if improvement stopped you know here the value of an H100 is now predicated on the value that GPD 5.4 four can get out of it instead of the value that GP4 can get out of it and the margins and all that stuff that these…
• Simon Willison Korrent 19 Mar The interesting question is not what the next model will be able to do, but what the models already released can do that nobody has worked out yet. I think the most interesting question is what can the models we have do right now? And so the only thing I care about today is what can Claude Opus 4.6 do that we haven't figured out yet. And I think it will take us 6…
• Doug O'Laughlin Korrent 13 Jan 2025 If the AI build-out does become a bubble, power and data centres are the assets that will carry it. In today’s world, I think the increase in self-fulfilling asset prices will be due to power and data centers.
• Derek Lowe Korrent 14 Oct 2024 There are few clear-cut cases in biopharma today where buying an AI system is obviously worth it. At the moment, there are in fact not very many slam-dunk gotta-get-me-some-of-that-AI decisions out there in our business.
• Philip Koopman Korrent 16 Jul 2023 Automatic emergency braking is doing far more for road safety today than autonomous driving is, and it is left out of the argument. Non-autonomous technology (AEB) is making far more of a contribution right now -- but is missing from the false dilemma.

• Adam Tornhill Recommends 11 Aug Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering — Robert L. Glass Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering by Robert L. Glass. In essence, this is a book about an industry that refuses to learn. That was true 25 years ago when this book was published, and it's probably twice as…
• Steve Klabnik Blog 21 Apr 2025 Thoughts on Bluesky Verification
• Paul Christiano Korrent 24 Feb 2018 Incredibly powerful AI will arrive into a world that is already being transformed and already alarmed, not into a world like today's. In particular, this means that incredibly powerful AI will emerge in a world where crazy stuff is already happening (and probably everyone is already freaking out).
• Charan Ranganath Korrent 25 May 2024 Spacing study out beats massing it: half an hour today and half an hour a week from now is retained longer than two half-hours in one day. …I won’t retain that information as long as if I do half-an-hour today and half-an-hour one week from now. So doing that extra spacing should help me retain the information…
• Thuan Pham Korrent 1 Apr Today's AI boom will end the way the dot-com boom did — consolidation, a wave of failures and a few genuinely great companies — and customers, not argument, will decide which is which. …solutions and all that stuff. And so, but the the market will sort it…
• Kent Beck Korrent 1 Jul It is far too soon for a manifesto about AI development: the Agile Manifesto took fifteen years of object-oriented practice before anyone could write it. which is why when I see manifestos today I'm just like too soon. Not a bad idea. Would love to have one just too soon. It took 15 years for the technical change of object-oriented programming to come before we could say…

Harvard professor Youngme Moon makes a great series of cases for how you can still stand out. What…
• Jeff Kaplan Korrent 11 Mar A creative lead's job is to take the idea they think is wrong and try to make it work, because the best ideas come out of developing someone else's. And it went from this kind of thing that I didn’t believe into to actually, like, a core part of who I am today as a leader, as a game designer, as a game director. And some of the best ideas have come from developing…
• Neri Oxman Korrent 1 Sept 2023 The way we make things is out of tune with the time dimension of the natural world, and that has to change even if it means designing on the scale of centuries. And the way of being in the physical world today is really not in tune with the time dimension of the natural world at all, and that needs to change.
• Hadley Wickham Recommends 9 Aug 2018 The Algorithm Design Manual — Steven S. Skiena To me, this book is an illustration of the power of names. Today, in the era of Google, if you know the name of something, you can find out about it with a simple search. But if you don't know of what you're looking…
