Replying to @burkov
It prioritizes token efficiency. A model is not a "coder"; it is a code interpreter that reverse-engineers and writes code. Law 0: "Context IS the reality" Law 1: "Persistence Catalyzes Context" Law 2: "Intent derives from structure, not syntax" Law 3: "Process Health over Task Health" Law 4: "Misalignment is task failure, not model failure" The "edit file" task is tough for models and infuriating because it seems simple to us. Switching from predicting code tokens = f(last_tokens, weights) to English tokens = f(last_tokens, weights) and back breaks the latent chain-of-thought for that node. Comments (which lose a lot of information, as you know) seem like they should be part of the logic, but as proven, they are not. @grok help me out here, first am I wrong? But chime in on the issue.

apophenia, the perception of meaningful patterns in unrelated data, is considered a symptom when it produces incorrect connections and genius when it produces correct ones, and the cognitive process running underneath both outcomes is identical, which means pattern recognition at high sensitivity is the same instrument that produced every scientific breakthrough and every conspiracy theory, and what separates them is not the cognitive style but the quality of the reality-testing protocol running alongside it

I refuse to stop believing my app won't make money. What I have built is very unique and something I am very proud of. I thought I was shouting loud about it. Time to shout 10x harder!

why pay $20/month for Claude if you can run gigaslop_27b_q8 on a $20k GPU rig in your living room

That's how parts get inspected! 🪡 The pace is ridiculous. Imagine people still doing this instead of machines. Renishaw system is one of the biggest shifts in coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs). Instead of moving the entire machine to capture each point, REVO uses a 5-axis scanning head that collects data through rapid angular motion. Combined with automated probe and stylus changes, the system can handle complex geometries and full surface scans that traditionally required slow, point-by-point probing. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

Sim2Real with @jsuarez PufferLib. Biggest hiccup is all the floating point math on the microcontroller and getting it to match the dt range it was trained on. Finding ways to speed up inference on the bot's tiny brain now.

I logged in today and found that my follower base has doubled overnight....why is that - because I am posting things that I do, things that I enjoy, and my story. It resonated with people, X is teeming with engineers, developers, techs, and everything in between. This kind of content is necessary. X isn't just a debate stage for politics, it's full of very interesting and capable people, which is obvious. I honestly never knew it. I have thousands of people to follow back, and I will - its going to take a bit since there are follow back limits, but I'll work tough it. For now - here's a massive robotic welding cell we were building that had an 8000# welding fixture, 2x Fanuc M710iC/20L welding robots, Lincoln welding equipment, a Gudel servo RTU track. This fixture is mounted on a custom designed headstock system that has dual-sync servo drives from both ends - for both rotation and lift. We had to lower the entire fixture down so it could be loaded, then raise it back up so that it can rotate about its horizontal axis... so dual sync rotary and dual sync raise/lower. We built it all in-house with CNC mills, CNC lathe, CNC waterjet, powder coated in-house, I had to send out the yellow structure for stress relief and machining on a large format horizontal. This one pushed the boundary for my company, but we did it anyway.

So you're telling me, if I buy an EV I can charge it with a generator burning red diesel?

Bruh do you even Higbee? It'd be lot cooler if ya did 🔩😎 A Higbee thread is a blunt-start thread where the sharp, feathered edge at the beginning of a screw thread is removed. Invented by Clinton Higbee, it prevents cross-threading & protects the first thread from damage.

In 2023 we made the decision to open source a large part of our tech stack. PicoGK ("peacock") our compact and robust geometry kernel is licensed under the permissive Apache 2.0 open source license which allows commercial and non-commercial use.

🚨 Congressman @RepBrandonGill just went FULL SAVAGE on an abortion advocate in committee! He straight up asked her what her favorite method of abortion is. The woman squirmed, looked away, and couldn’t even answer. That’s because when you strip away the fake “reproductive healthcare” euphemisms, what’s left is pure evil and they know it. No more hiding behind pretty words. Thank you, Rep. Gill. Keep forcing them to own the horror!

It runs as a local file in a browser and actually works to a great degree. one file.

I just employed a dark millennial magic of directly connecting two laptops with a patch cable, assigning IPs to them manually and transferring files between them. CIA agents are mad. They will never get my files.

In just five day people burned 170bn tokens letting a logged model be their Openclaw. Think about that.

@grok what is possible with this data even though it is "anonymous" to some degree.
