Curious mind. Open source, behavioral psychology, automation
And we are going Bun-first. If we can find a way to shring the Bun binary sizes, I don't think we'll have any reason to go with npx at this point!

Then we needed SQLite and semver operations inside the CLI and to my pleasant surprise Bun has *BOTH* built-in. So now we have this `node-polyfills` file for npx/node support: github.com/getsentry/cl...

I was *very* skeptical about Bun, then did my research, learned why it was created, chose it as the base for the new Sentry CLI with Miguel (x.com/miguelbetegon)

Happy 🔧 ICONOCLASTS 🔧 anniversary!

Sat a long time on physical goods, and could use help for coming projects. I decided to try a few auctions for support! Hope this is a good avenue for those of you asking for this.

I have always been grateful for your support! 💛

This is a v0 launch and we'll be iterating quickly. Please send us your feedback so we can make it work great for you!

@maditya.sh, Miguel (bete), and I are eager to hear all from you!

We took our inspiration from the awesome `gh` CLI from @github.com folks and gave it a Sentry spin with some vibe coding 😉

We've been working on the new Sentry CLI for the past few weeks and I'm so excited, happy, and proud to launch it with the team!

Congress is debating a bill that would require platforms to police families’ online behavior, or face legal risk. The result will be more account lockouts, ID checks, and algorithmic mistakes—for both parents and kids.
Congress Wants To Hand Your Parenting to Big Tech
Instead of respecting how most parents guide their kids towards healthy and educational content, KOSMA hands the control panel to Big Tech. That’s right—this bill would take power away from parents, a...

Just realized I'm listening to 50-year old songs as my "teenager songs". Oh, it's 70s classical rock. Yup you feel old too now, I know.

@byk.im uses WezTerm, which is an awesome terminal emulator, so we gave Wez $1,592.40 to express our thanks 🤠

Possibly. How I see this: the way LLMs work can be done deterministic as it is all mathematical functions. Eventhough it relies on probabilites, you can still deterministically control what is the cut off and use no random system. So when this becomes a business need, it is possible to get done.

While looking for "hybrid" tips (silicon outer with foam inside) I came by this post: www.reddit.com/r/headphones...

And boy it blew my mind!
From the headphones community on Reddit: I decided to make my own Hybrid IEM foam/silicon tips, works amazingly well. Made a guide for anyone who wants to try it. Best of both worlds!

Everytime I travel, I have to use my IEMs. Like them but finding good tips was always a struggle. I like foam tips the best but they get very itchy after a few hours and putting them in an out are a hassle. Foam tips are nice but they get slippy and fall out after 30 mins as my ears get warmer.

Great article thanks!

>We reject this defeatism. With a little bit of work, we can understand the root causes of our nondeterminism and even solve them!

From a user's perspective, it's just temperature. Rest of the non-deterministic behavior comes from optimizations.

Determinism is also solved, especially with the temperature.

This is exactly what's needed to make the next productivity jump. Not an agent helping you plan trips or whatever (still useful just not very profitable). The shift will come when we start doing work and thinking about it in a completely new way. Especially for white collar jobs. No more BS jobs.

Both agree and disagree. Agree with the observation, disagree that this is a problem. Anthropic models are not just good at coding, they are good at problem solving. I've seen the models try things and then realize they are stuck and unblock themselves numerous times.

Agree with Google for the end user side. That said I find Gemini consistently worse compared to ChatGPT. Amazon would win through platform hosting. I still don't see who's filling the enterprise model gap except for Anthropic though.

They don't need to as the real money will be from businesses. And TBH Claude is killing it for me compared to ChatGPT. Sonnet 4.5 is an incredibly good model.
