HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🫨 Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30‼️ @KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record 😤

Artemis II astronaut Victor Glover received a hero's welcome from his neighbors! 🇺🇸

The italian curse continues and the ghosts of Roberto Baggio strike again.

What an exciting time to be building software. Nothing feels impossible.

A 6’2 guard should not be able to do this over someone who is 7’7

I'll take 3.

Perfect analogy. Table saws made many more people carpenters and made the best carpenters extraordinarily more capable.

If you've ridden an e-bike then you understand how cool something like this is: theverge.com/report/624358/e…

Vibe coding with Cursor is phenomenal. However, I can’t think of a time when unit tests were more important. I’ve noted occasional inconsistencies in large codebases where the context is pushed to the limit. It is not infallible.

The advent of AI has a negative impact on the companies you'd expect - Stack Overflow, Quora, G2 etc. A pleasant outcome is the rise of user generated content on Reddit and Substack. elenaverna.com/p/ai-is-killi…

Perhaps the Brits were onto something with the House of Lords. While unelected, it operates openly within the established political framework unlike a shadow oligarchy.

Jim Farley does a great job explaining why legacy companies have such a hard time with software. TLDR: There's a multitude of modules in the car from suppliers each with their own software systems that don't talk to each other. youtube.com/watch?v=8IhSWsQl…

BlueSky sits somewhere between X, Threads & Nostr, offering polish, decentralization, powerful moderation tools and most importantly a low Time-To-Value. The starter packs feature is brilliant. X's algorithms, while antagonistic, drive a lot of interaction. I think there is a benefit to reading differing opinions. That or we're addicted to being pissed off. BlueSky, in my opinion has a better chance of succeeding than Threads after the protest migration has ended. Threads is tarnished by being part of Meta's machinations. Mastodon didn't stand a chance. For all the good intentions, its design is flawed and doesn't scale.

I love that Perplexity is successfully taking on the juggernaut that is Google, bragging about it and Google is seemingly unable to respond.

OpenAI's advanced voice mode is very cool. I wonder if talking to your device in public will become a thing or if it will be too awkward?

OpenAI’s new model is better at reasoning and, occasionally, deceiving. The difference from previous models is that the deception was intentional! theverge.com/2024/9/17/24243…

Out of everything Apple just released, iPhone mirroring has to be my favorite and makes up for the otherwise lackluster hardware and software updates.

Check out this feature on @kahawa1893 and @maggycoffee whose coffee I’ve been enjoying. From shark tank to success. youtu.be/nHuL1FqlgyA?si=4yCa…

“The Nostr network is constructed like a spider web that can morph and regenerate, making it almost impossible to censor.” 1.5 years ago @dkobia and I were talking about how Nostr is often thought of as a just a Twitter clone, but that what it really represents is a new architecture level for the web.
