What if there was an Ikon/Epic Pass for open weight models? Is this gonna replace your Claude/codex subscription? No But it's the beginning of a new way to broaden token usage beyond the proprietary models at an affordable price. 100% zero data retention and no unexpected TOS restrictions
Introducing Token Pass. Get $80 in GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3 tokens for $30/mo. • Two open models, one API key • US and EU providers • ZDR on by default Early access is open to the first 500 Pro teams. vercel.com/changelog/introdu…

It 10x'd my engineering, so now I'm up to 5x overall.
it's crazy how easy it is to spot 10x engineers these days for a certain set of people LLMs totally unlocked their potential to the point where imagining their life before this seems totally depressing

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I think dynasties are good for sports.

Software is dead like punk is dead. You just don't know what the next wave looks like.

I am old enough to remember when models were super, and agents were secret.

Next.js 16.4 adds 𝚗𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗(), a new API for keeping parts of a route out of prefetches until someone actually navigates. I built Stamp, a mailbox inspired by the example in the release post, to try it. Visible rows prefetch thread headers, while message bodies wait for navigation, so scrolling never downloads emails you don't open. Demo: next16-mail.vercel.app Source: github.com/aurorascharff/nex…
Replying to @nextjs
The new 𝚗𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗() API lets you exclude parts of a page from being rendered during a prefetch. Use it to prerender only the most meaningful UI ahead of time, and defer more expensive secondary content until an actual user navigation.

International solo travel with a visual impairment isn't the easiest thing to do. I'm proud of myself for pushing my limits the last couple of years. It feels good to be independent and do the thing!

I heard an ad on the radio for financial services that claims AI can make mistakes. Are they not including "make no mistakes" in their prompt? Rookie mistake.

Seeing a lot more loser behaviour lately. It's not very difficult to be a good person with some empathy. Please try harder.

This is crazy behaviour
scriptc now compiles itself The compiler that turns your TypeScript into native executables can now turn its own TypeScript into a native executable
