Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

The sandbox revenue for @modal is now as much as the total revenue of the company 9 months ago

wake up, ANE pretraining just dropped
Mar 13
I blew up another model on my MacBook Pro.
I'm pretraining a 48.8M param GPT in Rust on Apple Neural Engine. From scratch. Not fine-tuning. Not inference. Not LoRA.
As far as I can find, no one has done this. Adjacent work exists — pMetal (fine-tuning), ane-infer (inference), mlx-rs (GPU).

every time I run a codex code review it finds new problems. What's the solution for code review rn?

Hooks are coming to codex. That’s all I wanted to say.

they feed us poison (bot protection)
so we buy their cures (/crawl)
while they suppress our medicine (BeautifulSoup)
Introducing the new /crawl endpoint - one API call and an entire site crawled.
No scripts. No browser management. Just the content in HTML, Markdown, or JSON.

my dad just got a new macbook air and was bummed that his beloved two-decade-old hp laserjet printer wouldn’t work with it anymore. asked claude to help and it literally re-wrote the driver software to work with the new macos. AND IT WORKED 😭

This is so cool
We just completed the largest decentralised LLM pre-training run in history: Covenant-72B. Permissionless, on Bittensor subnet 3.
72B parameters. ~1.1T tokens. Commodity internet. No centralized cluster. No whitelist. Anyone with GPUs could join or leave freely.

incredible that we built all this RAG and vector database stuff and it turns out that grep from 1973 works better than all that

hey @onusoz thanks for your work on acpx. found a bug where MCP tools get registered with empty JSON schemas (no params), so the model can't call them. happy to share repro details if you want to DM. i can also help fix

Best way to manage multiple agents on a branch is to path stage and commit, atomically. Unfortunately, models are really bad at this. I fix it with a bash wrapper that blocks nudges toward correct commands. Works great

ok, @steipete , curious about two things:
1. why no worktrees? how do you avoid multiple agents stepping on each other in the same repo otherwise? (for me, conflict resolution on pulls works.)
2. assuming the reports of you using pi were correct, why did you switch to codex cli?

I put codex in a custom sandbox on a VM with only a subset of git permissions and it REFUSED to run git reset —hard no matter what I said. The pendulum swings I guess

Hooks PLEASE

What do you hope to see Codex ship before end of month? Team is cooking with the power of a thousand agents and there is still time to redirect them.
