engineering in general is dead.
this is absolutely cool and something the models couldn't do just a few months ago, however if you can buy it for <$50 it is probably not *that* hard to design. EE will be destroyed, but it's not going to happen quite yet.

this is just a different flavor of bitcoin mining 0. company offers a fixed prize for a difficult problem 1. individuals throw compute (LLM tokens) to solve problem 2. sum of individual $ spent on compute > total value of prize 3. thousands of $ of compute wasted by individuals, but company receives solution at fixed cost 4. profit

One thing that instagram does really well is quickly adapt to the native iphone experience ie liquid glass makes it feel like a core apple product. like it doesn't really have its own product identity as much as a platform identity, which makes sense considering most users will have either an iphone or an android, and will prefer the native platform experience
Here's what X, Threads, and Instagram look like on iPhone Duo:

you can just build “things”

What if we made CPU clock frequency so high that every program, regardless of complexity, theoretically finishes in one cycle? Are hardware engineers dumb?

unpatched infinite money glitch: if claude can't solve your problem you can repackage it as a reinforcement learning environment and sell it to anthropic

Forget the tiers. Wouldn’t it be great to join one of these, collect your RSUs, survive a few layoffs and retire?

YC startup: it's too complicated, we'll use a mix of claude and chatgpt to rebuild it from first principles
