Nice try, Porsche. Back to the drawing board... and stay there for a while. 😝
Mission S. Authentic. Consistent. Timeless. A glimpse into the future - shaped by our heritage. Mid-engine architecture. A focus on the driver and the driving experience. Call it a love letter.

Thanks for @omarchy. Now I don't have to deal with this macOS crap anymore. My internet is working perfectly fine, duh.

Not a good model yet; it doesn't follow instructions well.
Today, we are introducing Inkling. Inkling reasons efficiently across text, image, and audio modalities. We are making the full weights available. thinkingmachines.ai/news/int… Available today for fine-tuning on Tinker. Play with it in the Inkling Playground. 🧵

"Even if fiber cables get cut on the ground, Starlink keeps working perfectly. High-speed internet anywhere on Earth no matter what happens below". This is simply wrong. Starlink is a relay, not a free-standing internet. The websites, video, and cloud services you reach still live on Earth. The satellites only carry your traffic between your dish and the terrestrial network. Your traffic ends at ordinary ground stations, called gateways, that are plugged into fiber. Those gateways connect to Starlink points of presence, which peer with the rest of the internet at exchange points and with content networks. Netflix, Google, a bank site, or a game server are not hosted on the satellites. So it is terrestrially dependent. Cut every gateway off from fiber and Starlink users lose the normal internet, even if the satellites are still flying.
Elon Musk explains why Starlink is basically unbreakable “There are over 10,225 Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit right now, moving at 25 times the speed of sound, Zipping around the Earth at ~550 km altitude Because they’re so close, latency is extremely low unlike old-school geostationary satellites at 36,000 km. They’re all interconnected with laser links, forming a giant laser mesh network in space Even if fiber cables get cut on the ground, Starlink keeps working perfectly High-speed internet anywhere on Earth no matter what happens below”

I completed it. The Bible was written over many centuries and under different historical, cultural, and social conditions. The Bible was written on three continents: - Europe - Asia - Africa In three languages: - Hebrew - Aramaic - Greek By more than 40 different men: - Kings - Prophets - Fishermen - A doctor - And others Over different times, across many centuries, and under various circumstances: - Old Testament (Approximate Dates): 1446-1406 BC: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy 1400-1380 BC: Joshua 1100-1000 BC: Judges, Ruth, and parts of Samuel 1000-900 BC: Psalms (many by David), Proverbs, and Song of Songs 930-700 BC: 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings, Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah 626-570 BC: Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah 586-539 BC: Daniel, and portions of Kings and Chronicles written during and after the Exile 520-430 BC: Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi - New Testament (Approximate Dates): AD 48-49: Galatians AD 50-52: 1-2 Thessalonians AD 55-58: 1-2 Corinthians and Romans AD 60-62: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, and Acts AD 62-67: 1 Timothy, Titus, 2 Timothy, and 1 Peter AD 65-70: Mark, Hebrews, and Jude AD 70-90: Matthew, Luke, James, and 2 Peter AD 85-95: John, 1-3 John, and Revelation Yet it tells one unified story: - Creation - Fall - Redemption - Restoration And it points to one central figure: - Jesus Christ All glory to God! 🙏

This is now working on my 13-inch MacBook Pro M1. Previously, the installer showed the error unsupportedDevice("apple,j293"). I removed my initial Omarchy installation, which I had installed using the installer from the omarchy-mac repository, and then tried omarchy-mx-mac. Both of my USB-C hubs worked immediately without any additional fixes required, including the hub without DisplayLink support and the one with DisplayLink support. The only remaining issues are that the keyboard backlight does not work and the Touch Bar is not functioning. I'll try using AI to help troubleshoot and fix these issues.
Omarchy Mx Mac 4.0.4 Released! So you want Omarchy with all those monitors working on your MacBook Pro M1 Max/M2 Max? You got it. This new release uses our new Aurora Silicon kernel and aligns the boot process with the x86 counterpart using Limine. It now support disk snapshots and allows the setup of encryption through the installer app. We are working on unifying Omarchy Mx Mac and Omarchy Mac at Omacom, but while this is not complete - you have something now to try and enjoy. Broad support on M1 (Pro/Max)/M2 (Pro/Max). Other CPU variants under development. Please support us by logging any discovered issues on Github. github.com/maralcbr/omarchy-… @OmarchyMac @OmarchyLinux

Code is going to go away. No human eyes needed in the future.
It'll soon be seen as deeply irresponsible to have critical code reviewed by human eyes alone.

Update on this: I got a new DisplayLink-compatible USB-C hub. My 13-inch MacBook Pro M1 natively supports only one external display, but I use two. My previous hub was not DisplayLink-compatible, so the second external monitor could only mirror the first instead of functioning as an independent display. With this new DisplayLink-compatible USB-C hub, both external monitors now work as independent extended displays. To make this work properly on Omarchy-Mac running on my 13-inch MacBook Pro M1, a fix was required. PR submitted: github.com/omarchy-mac/omarc… What was actually wrong and how it was fixed: No Arch package was available. I installed the official Synaptics DisplayLink Manager 6.3 and firmware package (SHA256-verified ZIP), along with the required AUR integration files, including the udev rule, service, and suspend hook. Kernel 7.1 and custom ARM kernels are not officially supported upstream. I compiled DisplayLink's bundled EVDI 1.14.15 kernel module from source without requiring any patches. Regarding HyperMon: Stock HyperMon does not work correctly. It detects both external monitors, but display rotation does not work. The root cause is simply a configuration issue. monitors.lua contains entries only for DP-1 (Philips) and eDP-1 (MacBook display) but has no entry for the HP monitor (DVI-I-1), leaving it unmanaged. Additionally, HyperMon applies rotation using hyprctl keyword, which is rejected by the current Hyprland build due to the newer Lua parser. As a result, the application's Apply action never successfully sends the rotation settings to the compositor. Rotation itself works correctly; the tooling is what fails. @OmarchyMac @dhh

@OmarchyMac My external monitor connected to USB-C hub now works on Macbook Pro M1! Fix in this PR: github.com/AsahiLinux/m1n1/p… The suggested HDMI fix in another post was for M2 and for intermittent connection issue. Mine was dead: The fix for my machine had to happen before the kernel boots, at m1n1/DTB level — something no kernel patch can reach. "Your machine's device tree ships dcp@271c00000 (the external display controller, dcpext) disabled. Enabling it isn't enough: m1n1 1.6.1 only injects the required apple,firmware-compat/apple,firmware-version properties for dcpext on M2 (t8112) and M2 Pro/Max (t602x) — never on t8103/M1. So the driver probe failed with -22 before touching any display path. This is a firmware/boot-loader gap, not a kernel bug." cc: @dhh This is actual picture. I just asked Grok to fix the wall background.

Businesses need to evolve somehow... 😂
Going to tell my kids that before AI, businesses used to say “the customer is always right”

Whoever came up with the idea in the new @opencode v2 that exporting a session transcript should neither allow renaming the file nor choosing where to save it must have been hallucinating. It's a clear step backward from the previous version.

That’s why Elon has argued coding itself may fade: AI will produce the working program, and we’ll need to take on different roles around that. Elon has recently argued that traditional coding may soon become unnecessary. He suggested that AI could directly generate optimized binaries instead of relying on programming languages and compilers. In his words: February 10, 2026 “Code itself will go away in favor of just making the binary directly. The next step after that is direct, real-time pixel generation by the neural net.” August 3, 2026 (replying to a post comparing source code to assembly) “This is exactly right. Source code is on the verge of becoming like assembly. The next step is getting rid of “source code” entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI.” I think SpaceXAI is moving in that direction with Grok’s Build Mode, which lets users create websites, apps, games, and interactive dashboards from natural-language prompts. Grok still writes conventional code behind the scenes, but it renders a live preview in the chat so users can refine the result in plain language without touching the source unless they want to. Finished projects can be published immediately to a grok.me link or a custom domain. The feature launched in July 2026 as an early beta for SuperGrok Heavy subscribers on grok.com, iOS, and Android, and is an example of “vibe coding”: describing an outcome and iterating on the running product rather than writing the program by hand. It is not the same as Musk’s longer-term idea of AI generating an optimized binary directly and skipping source code altogether. But it may well be a step on the way: the user already describes an outcome, and the machine handles more of the implementation each time.
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

From Earth to Mars and back. That's exciting!

Cost barrier smashed 🚀. But the real story is what it can do: unified APIs, multi‑provider orchestration, and rock‑solid reliability at scale. It’s not just cheaper—it’s powerful enough to handle complex workflows and production‑grade deployments. This redefines the future of AI.
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 tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads. Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.
Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude. In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.
