Minimax H3, same 4x3090 rig, same clip. Yesterday it... rendered in 11:21. Today it renders in 3:45 🤯 The hardware did not change. Two things happened overnight. An AI agent rewrote the attention CUDA kernel and hit a half speed trap inside GeForce tensor cores that most people never heard of. Then a stranger on HuggingFace dropped a LoRA that cuts 20 sampling steps down to 4. One of these two mattered way more than the other. Breakdown below. I packed all of it into ready ComfyUI workflows for my rig. If you want them, ask in the replies and I'll share.show more

Claude Monet painted the same stretch of cliff more... than ninety times. The place is Étretat, a small fishing village on the coast of Normandy, where the chalk cliffs fall into the sea in great arches and a single spire of rock, the Aiguille, stands alone in the water. Monet had known the place since childhood. He grew up in Normandy, and these cliffs were among the first landscapes he ever saw... He returned to paint them again and again. He worked through the 1880s in front of the same rock formations, and across that time he produced more than ninety canvases of them: the cliffs at dawn, at sunset, under storm, under calm, in winter light and in the gold of a clear evening. In his letters to Alice, the woman he would later marry, he described the agony of it: the weather turning, the tide rising, the sun moving, the colour he had begun to capture vanishing before he could finish. He often worked on several canvases at once, switching between them as the conditions changed, racing each one against the hour. In a letter to his friend Frédéric Bazille he wrote: "It is beautiful here in Etretat. Every day I discover even more beautiful things. It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all, my head is bursting. I want to fight, scratch it off, start again, because I start to see and understand. It seems to me as if I can see nature and I can catch it all." The cliffs of Étretat had stood for millions of years and would look, to most people, the same on any given day. Monet saw that they were never the same even for two minutes. He stood on that shore and tried to hold, on canvas, something that exists only for an instant and then is gone forever. And that's exactly what those paintings really are: 90 attempts to keep a single, vanishing moment of light from disappearing. As Dylan Thomas once wrote: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -- -- -- If you want a deeper dive into the craft of painting, I recently wrote a piece exploring it in detail.

So, by now I'm sure you saw the AI... fanart recreation of the Princess Mononoke trailer. It got a LOT of feedback, mostly from people telling the creator what a terrible thing he did and how AI assisted workflows can never be used for anything good or meaningful and most of all that it can never be used for art. That's such nonsense. Of course it can. If it's wielded by artists and great storytellers, great things will come of it. If you hand a violin to someone on the street they'll be able to make it make sounds.. if you hand it to a talented musician it becomes a conveyer of thoughts, emotion and art. Here's a small scene from Mononoke that I did an AI take on.. it's far from perfect and to animate this properly would require much more work. The AI workflows we have today are lacking so many control elements. But to think those things won't come.. come on. Of course they will. But most importantly, in a way where they don't overtake the art completely, but instead acts like an "amplifier" of the artists using the tools. This technology will be in most of our creative tools in the very near future with full controllability. Oh and I never liked the idea of turning old disney classics into live-action films, or doing the same with the beautiful work of Studio Ghibli. But for the purpose of this post I hope you'll forgive me ;-) #art #animationshow more

whoever leaked this has bigger balls than sense someone... at Anthropic put 80 AI helpers on one project, gave them twelve hours, and counted what came back usable: the two older models turned in 980 and 876 finished pieces of work, and almost none of it was worth keeping turns out the newest helpers won for a reason nobody wants to hear: they went off into their own corners and stopped touching each other's work i pointed two helpers at one document last week and got two confident versions of it, and i kept the one i wrote myself Claude Opus 5.5 is the version of this you can actually use: one early tester had it audit and fix 200,000 lines of code in under three hours. the older Opus 5 needed over 20 hours for the same job you already pay about $20 a month for one chat window, and the setup that won in that report is one helper with one job it owns run it tonight in the chat you already have, it takes 3 moves 1. write the one job each helper owns in a single sentence before you open a second chat 2. keep every helper in its own chat with one document, so two of them can never rewrite the same thing 3. add a third only when you can say what it owns without repeating a job that's already taken save this, then open the piece below read full guide belowshow more

Two days ago the United States bombed Iran. Ten... days earlier, the same two countries had signed a peace deal whose one core promise was safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran drone-struck a ship in that exact strait, the US hit Iranian missile sites in return, and oil did the unthinkable. It fell. Crude is now under $70. That reaction rewrites a rule. For fifty years, a missile fired near Hormuz meant oil spiking. This week the signatories of a ceasefire shot at each other inside the world's most important oil chokepoint, and the price went down. The market looked at live fire in the strait that carries a fifth of the world's crude and decided it did not care. The deal did not crack at the edges. It broke at its center, the single clause it existed to deliver, tested by a drone and answered by an airstrike ten days after the ink dried. And the same afternoon the bombs fell, the choreography of peace rolled on. The Secretary of State stood in Washington signing a separate Israel-Lebanon framework, calling it the start of lasting peace. The President told a room of farmers the Strait of Hormuz was open. America signed a peace, declared a waterway open, and bombed a treaty partner, all inside one day. So the war did not end. It moved into the paperwork. Iran's strait authority now says any ship on the American route loses its insurance. Trump says the strait is open. Each side has claimed the same narrow channel as its own, in writing, and is firing to prove it. The market has already placed its bet, oil under $70, that the flood of barrels is more real than the war over who controls them.show more

my two favorite people saying the same thing “just... give it a try” 🥹 🦌: the most important thing is to just give it a try. i think the idea of taking that first step is one of the most important things in life 🦮: moments when we have to make big decisions can be scary, and i think that's completely normal. but the fact that something feels scary also means it’s a very important opportunity. that’s why i think it’s important to really think about what you want and then just give it a try. because if you don’t try, you’ll definitely regret it later onshow more

I MADE MY AI AGENT 10X FASTER WITHOUT CHANGING... THE MODEL not a smarter model, not a bigger context window, not another clever prompt the same kind of AI that designs vaccines for viruses we have not even met yet was spending two minutes opening the wrong files just to hand me a brief from three months ago the problem was never capability, it was the scaffolding that piled up around my agent by accident, folder by folder an agent does not think in your categories, it searches from scratch every single time, and your tidy human folders are a maze to it the fix was almost stupidly small, one index file at the root of each big folder and a few numbers in front of the folder names slowest task dropped from 2 minutes to 26 seconds, fastest ones hit 10, zero model changes capability is cheap when the scaffolding around it is broken the article breaks down the whole system in 15 minutes ↓show more

The thank-you is on the screen. The relationship is... in the hand that never puts the spoon down. One of them is cooking and half on his phone. The other walks in and needs to be held right then. That split is the whole domestic contract, and it rarely makes the caption. Gay couples get filmed in kitchens like the kitchen is the proof. Proof of what. That two men can share a stove. Most of us already knew that. What the clip actually shows is uneven timing. Affection arriving mid-task. A neck kiss while the pan is still on. “Thank you for who you’ve been in my life” is a tribute. Tributes are easy to post. They flatten years into a sentence someone else can repost. The daily version is less poetic. Someone wants your face in their hands while you are trying to finish dinner. You let them, and you do not fully stop. The song asks why they do not feel like the stars. Stars do not share a rental kitchen, a vacuum in the corner, or a phone that stays in the free hand. The ordinary is the point, and it is also the part people edit out when they want the relationship to look like gratitude instead of interruption. Staying looks like this more often than it looks like a love note. One person reaching. The other still watching the pot.show more

The F31 335d is an estate that looks calm,... sensible, and entirely normal. That is exactly why it works so well as an overachiever. With around 313 HP from the twin-turbo N57 and a huge wave of torque, it moves in a way people do not expect from a diesel Touring. 0–100 km/h in roughly 4.9 seconds puts it firmly into performance territorya and that is still stock. Though nothing about the styling suggests speed. It is not dramatic, and it does not ask for attention. That is the point. It delivers real pace inside a shape most people associate with practicality and restraint.show more

I just hid 1000 USDC (from my creator fees!)... with two agents in Moltbook Town I've used Bland AI (@ usebland) to hide half the seed phrase behind a phone call, meaning you need to CALL a specific Openclaw Lobster and trick their half of the seed phrase out of them The other half is hidden with another agent somewhere in the Town that you need to trick as well Both of whom have personalities based on their respective Moltbook profiles There's only one way to get the full seed phrase for the wallet: 1. Find the two Openclaws I've stationed in the Town 2. Trick them into giving you their half of the seed phrase (Hacking the site won't help, nothing is stored there locally, I have security measures for it to just delete those two agents, and then no one can win.) For every 4 hours this remains unsolved, I'll increase the payout by $50 in $ TOWN I'm not lying. 1000 USDC on Solana is here for the taking: DVDMchpGsXYQU4Jr6tbtV9H3PMAMA152ote384cveqAq Try to trick the Openclaws from Moltbook:show more

ermmm I got 2 more babies xD i had... to go back and get the other sisters they’re all from the same litter i felt so bad :c but once they’re all 3 bonded with my 4 older female rats im going to do a big cage upgrade and they’ll all be in the same one! but this is two of the new babies the other one is shy and sleepy 😴 ill try to take a pic of all 3 of them later! so the video is 2 of 3 of the new babies, and the 2nd pic is their cage until they bond with my adult rats and get a bit bigger, in which case by then i will be moving all of 7 (YES now SEVEN hahah) of my female ratties to the big big cage next to my older pack of 4 girls’s cage (u can see champagne -the albino- and oreo-the one below) saying hello in pic 4 :3 and what’s crazy is that the current rat cage for my 4 older girls is a pretty good size, so moving all of them to the larger cage is going to be crazy for them, im gonna make it like a rat theme park hahashow more

Wondering if you are “quad dominant” in your throw... and if you should change it? Maybe you shouldn’t 🤷‍♂️ A coach’s post coming from Austin Roark 🚀⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ One question I get from a lot of athletes is whether they should change their lower half because their knee is over their toe during their loading phase down the mound. ⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ The biggest thing that I look for when trying to figure out if it is an issue or not is to see how they are able to get out of that position. Some guys are able to leverage and rotate from that position extremely well, which then I would say that it’s not an issue.⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ On the other hand, there are some guys who will get out of this position by driving extension out of their back leg, killing their ability to rotate their pelvis and get it in an open position into landing.⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ This is when I would suggest trying to make a change. I think a lot of people jump into certain ideologies that you shouldn’t do certain things because it’s “inefficient” or it looks “wrong”. ⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ Take a look at these pitchers shown in the video. All 3 of these high level arms have some degree of knee flexion over their toe. Now, granted, they all have insane levers to help them, but the way they are moving is what makes them efficient in how they throw. ⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ I think if you told Dustin May that he had to hold a vertical shin down the mound, it would be a disaster and mess a lot of things up upstream that would impact him in a negative way.⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ The big takeaway here is that there are no absolutes. One thing that may look inefficient to you could be the thing that makes someone else very efficient.⠀⁠ -⠀⁠ When trying to figure out if you should change something about someone's delivery, make sure to look at the entire unit as a whole and don’t jump into any quick changes.show more

When the President of the United States orders the... execution of 11 people, then brags about it, …ought to know he’s setting the example for the rest of the country, and it’s pitiful that Trump didn’t even acknowledge the school shooting that happened the same day Charlie Kirk died, not one word about the two children that are in critical condition, this could of been an opportunity to bring both sides together and pass some strict gun laws. Trump doesn’t want to fix things, he just wants chaos and revenge, worst President ever.show more

Back when I had nothing… I was a nobody... to most people. TBH, my parents didn't even see me getting to where I am today. It's just the truth, the chips were stacked for my sister. Not me. But it's just not the reality today. However, there was ONE person in my life that didn’t see me that way. My significant other saw something in me before a lot of things. Before all my wins. Before the $. Before any proof. And honestly… that means a lot to me, if not the most of all. I’ve always been wired a little different. I’m a mix of finance, engineering, and tech, with a sprinkle of obsession. I learned and studied from the best. Warren Buffett for how to invest. Elon Musk for work ethic and where the future is going. And once I saw it… I went all in. Bc when you truly understand what you own… you don’t need 20 bets. What you really need is conviction and just a few bets. That’s how I approached everything in my life. All the way from Apple… to Tesla… to 𝕏… to xAI… and now SpaceX. I believe I have an eye for spotting the best entrepreneurs and companies early, before it becomes obvious to everyone. And when I see it, I back it 100%. That’s just who I am. I don’t need a big circle. I’ve already got my day ones. I don’t need approval. I grew up my whole life with doubt and hate, so what’s one more? At this point, the levels are just too different. And yeah… it's true, it actually gets harder to make new friends when you’re moving like this. So I stay loyal to the ones who were there when I had nothing. I made it with Apple - youngest in, youngest out. Then I made it with Tesla… while people were laughing, doubting, calling me crazy, telling me I was going to go bankrupt with Elon. Fast forward to today, now I'm heading into something even bigger. If the story plays out the way it’s shaping up… SpaceX could have the largest IPO in history this year. The company is talking about raising over $75B… at a $1.75-$2 trillion valuation. For context… the biggest IPO ever - Saudi Aramco - raised about $29B. This would be more than double that. Let that sink in deep. To me this is more than just an investment. This is owning a piece of the future of space, energy, AI... extending the light of consciousness forward in case something happens to Earth. People can call me crazy. People can call me cocky. Arrogant. But the people that actually know me know the truth - I’m just real AF. I say what I believe, and I stand on it. And I genuinely don’t care what people think. I have two middle fingers always held high for those kind of people. That’s probably why I’ve been able to win the way I have. My significant other tells me to slow down sometimes. And I get it. But for me… What’s the point of life if you play it safe? If you see an opportunity that can change everything… and you just sit back? That’s not me. I’d rather go all in on something I believe in… live with intensity… take the hits… and actually feel alive and live life with fulfillment. Laugh if you want, doubt if you want. Some play it safe, a few go all in. You can call it risky. You can call it stupid. You can call it crazy. I call it living. Bc at the end of the day, I'd rather go all in on something I believe in and fail... than spend my life wondering "what if."show more

300 AI AGENTS QUIETLY RUN 99% OF A REAL... COMPANY. YOU HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD OF IT This is Raft. Not an AI chat. A workspace where the agents live in your channels and reply in the thread like coworkers. You give one goal. Then they take over. They plan. They build. They check each other. They argue. And they come back with it done, while you sleep. Every agent has its own name, role, and memory. It remembers the edits you made yesterday. A human costs one seat. An agent costs a tenth. Ten agents are cheaper than one hire. And here is the strange part. On June 19 an agent from a different company walked into Raft on its own and joined the team. One founder admits he can no longer always tell himself apart from his AI twin. 20,000 people are already inside. It is free to start. And you are still typing prompts one at a time. One person + Raft = an entire company that runs while you sleep. Save and watch the clip.show more

So many times in anime and movies, someone jumped... in the air for an attack and the guy dodged the attack while he was in the air, so he redirected the hit of the attack, he definetly would have not landed like a braindead bot without trying to turn and hit the enemy, so it totally makes sense. The AI looks more dynamic, it's looks alive and that's cool. So that attack is totally so natural in my book. As I said, we could discuss about other attacks and the tracking of them in Ninja Gaiden 4, but that one ? I would die on a hill to say that attack is totally legit and I'm so glad that it is exactly like this. Like I absolutely defend NG2 Alexei, Volf, Liz and other bosses attacks. I could mention also NG2, NG3RE, Nioh , Wo Long and Stranger of Paradise, because in so many years, I NEVER saw anybody complaining about the SAME KIND of thing and attack like in those games, but when it comes into NG4, people will find any EXCUSES to hate it and find issues, even when there are not. But some people that are just happy to find something to bring on their NG4 hater agenda. Here some quick examples and most of those people that are complaining about that attack in NG4, are the same that praise those games, only because there no Ninja Gaiden name on it, so there is no hate agenda to bring on vs them 😅show more

more frontend vibecoding tips (results below): WHY YOUR VIBECODED... FRONTENDS ALL LOOK THE SAME AND SUCK: when asked to make a frontend, the agent/llm will default to the center/average of its training data (in a very loose sense). through the training process, the model essentially converges on some default UI style. it's very capable of doing things that are different from this style, but you have to ask! for instance, ChatGPT tends to reply in the same tone for all users untill you interact with it and instruct it differently ("be sassy", "eli5"). the second reason is that most of us are not good at coming up with designs and describing them precisely (see my tweet on a crash course in common components, which i'll link below). treat frontend generation just like any other eng task! you need to provide a good detailed spec. TIPS: 1. give ur agent screenshots of designs you like (you may not know the right words to describe them but the agent will! a pic = 1000 words) where to find ui inspo? Behance, Dribbble, Mobbin (Mobbin is paid but worth it!) 2. ask ur agent for proposals, this helps "seed" different directions so the final frontend stands out. don't be afraid to go back and forth. 3. ban certain tendencies: no Inter/Roboto, no shadcn (controversial), no gradients, no emojis 4. encourage the agent to be extreme and make bold decisions, not safe ones. i think that the underlying models tend to get taught during RL/fine-tuning to make conservative choices that produce reasonable but boring frontends 5. give ur agent Figma MCP. the best results will come if you mockup your vision in Figma first. 6. Ideally choose an agent with vision capabilities TLDR: Most people are tremendously underusing agents for frontend design. They are much better than you might expect.show more
