Loved Big Walk so much that as a memento of 100%ing it I 3D printed all our friend's in-game characters to give them which was a fun surprise. The light ball even lights up with a coin battery!
(you should grab a group of friends and play it)
ALT 9 different 3D printed Big Walk characters in a variety of poses

[Watching AI video of two squirrels cuddling during a thunderstorm.] They are safe there, nothing can harm them as long as they have each other. [My phone dies and for the first time in my life I am confronted by my own reflection, I try to swipe away]

One thing that still amazes me about Meta VR Glasses is how much technology we’ve managed to fit into such a small form factor, with the rest packed into a sleek, compact, beautifully designed puck.
Around 100 grams 🤯, and an entire VR/MR experience right in front of your eyes!
Once you start running your own apps & games on them, you’ll be blown away by how light and powerful they are!
I honestly believe this is a huge step forward for VR/MR! 🕶️🚀

An underrated insight from cybernetics is that you can build something precise out of imprecise parts. Individual components can be inaccurate if you have a negative feedback loop, because the output depends mostly on how accurately you measure it, not the quality of the parts.

Architecture. The set of significant design decisions that shape the form and function of a system.
What Bob calls “the high level gestalt of the system” is what I call its architecture.
And for a software-intensive system, architecture has always been far more important than any details of its implementation.

This is infinitely more beautiful than any fictional representation of plasma or any other random scifi cgi energy bullshit oh my fucking god it's so pretty
JUST IN🚨: Scientists have captured the first ever high-speed, full-color footage of fusion plasma swirling inside a working reactor.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This footage is not breaking news ("JUST IN"). The video was released in 2025 by Tokamak Energy, showing plasma inside their ST40 reactor.

When people ask how SQLite creator D. Richard Hipp and his team maintain a C database running on billions of devices, the answer is in the testing.
In 2023, SQLite’s engine had about 156,000 lines of C.
Its test suite contained over 92 million lines of code and scripts.
That’s roughly 590 lines of tests for every line of production code.
Before releases, SQLite deliberately simulates power loss, disk I/O errors, and malloc() failures. A separate harness achieves 100% branch coverage of the core in its tested configuration.
They don’t build reliable software by assuming everything will work.
They build it by systematically testing what happens when things go wrong.

This is an amazing prompt that helps find a ton of bugs for me.
“Find the app’s explicit and implicit state machines and document their states, invariants, and transition tables in one file. Identify invalid states or transitions the code can actually reach, with evidence, including through retries and concurrency. Prioritize confirmed bugs by impact, group related fixes into issues, then fix them with regression tests and keep the document updated.”

go get lost in it, ok?
