I run plenty of agent loops and the speed makes a somewhat interesting difference in time "compression". Having a Claude 4 Sonnet-level model running at 1000-1500 tok/s would be extremely impressive.
To FEEL THE SPEED, you can either try it yourself on Cerebras Inference page, through their API, or for example on Mistral / Le Chat with their "Flash Answers" (powered by Cerebras). Iterating on code with 1000 tok/s makes it feel even more magical.

I'm wondering what is your overall experience, how much of your ad campaign traffic were bots and how did it fare compared to other ad platforms.
What just happened?
""" UPDATE: Thanks for the feedback. There were many more concerns than we expected. We’re going to process the feedback and rethink our plan. We will not activate product usage tracking on GitLab.com or GitLab self-managed for now. We'll make sure to communicate in advance on our blog when we do have a new plan. """
""" Amazon Web Services (AWS). We reported this issue to the AWSSecurity team. They confirmed the vulnerabilities on CloudFront. The AWS-Security team stopped caching error pages with the status code 400 Bad Request by default. However, they took over three months to fix our CPDoS reportings. Unfortunately, the overall disclosure process was characterized by a one-way communication. We periodically asked for the current state, without getting much information back from the AWS-Security team. They never contacted us to keep us up to date with the current process.

One of the founders of Gremlin is an Engineer that worked in Netflix and probably worked on Chaos Monkey as well :)
For example:
> "As an Optical Engineer at Neuralink you will develop custom optics and imaging systems used directly in our surgical robot, and associated consumables manufacturing systems." [0]
EDIT: I guess the article from The Verge linked in the other comments sheds even more light on that particular bit:
> "[...] the company has developed ”a neurosurgical robot capable of inserting six threads (192 electrodes) per minute [automatically],” according to the white paper. " [1]
Similarly described in the Bloomberg article which was just released [2]

Awesome work on aerc, looking forward for continued development.
Also, I had to run it as:
TERM=xterm-256color aerc
On OSX, otherwise got: panic: terminal entry not foundJust a small feedback: I had trouble with one of the requirements -> scdoc, didn't know what exactly that is (Googling didn't help), so might be worth to provide a direct link in the README.md to https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc/
- the biggest Polish banks (whose initiative this was) support it, and the ATMs (Euronet included) usually have that as an option.
- ALL of the Polish payment providers / gateways support BLIK.
- Poland is quite infamous for supporting contactless payments [0] and most of the POS terminals support BLIK as well.
- For merchants it also makes sense as there are no chargebacks.
I do concede that for BLIK vs. contactless payments in the brick & mortar shop the latter always would win for quick payments, but why does it seem high friction to you?

It works for online payments, ATM withdrawals and even in brick & mortar shops.
The flow for online looks like this:
1. Go to the Payments / billing page.
2. It is almost prevalent now that you just see a BLIK input box immediately, and the other standard "pick your payment options" box below.
3. Fire up your bank's mobile app, navigate to the BLIK tab (normally a swipe away), grab the 6 digits (or copy)
4. Put them in the box (or paste)
5. Press OK on your mobile device (you can even 'trust' your browser after succesful payment, such that you don't have to confirm the next payments on your mobile device with some monetary limits).
6. Done.
It usually takes less than 30 seconds to do all of this. No need to put your CC details or anything in.

I feel him taking some time off and easing off would benefit everybody. He is known for his super focused and driven way of work, and as he himself said:
“If other people are putting in 40 hour workweeks and you’re putting in 100 hour workweeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing … you will achieve in four months what it takes them a year to achieve.”
But he is only human, not a robot (to the best of my knowledge), and sleeping under the desk in the factory overworked will stress out everybody and the people in their close environment no matter how logical-thinking person you are. Building your company in a constant fight-or-flight mode is a disaster in the making.
Balance is important. For the sake of sanity, health and actual productivity.
Although this is completely anecdotal, I had a similar "100 hour never stop working" approach with my initial start-up ventures (obviously not of the scale of Tesla or SpaceX) which ended up me destroying my personal relationships and I cannot say my productivity was off the roof.
Then I slowly transitioned into having a proper balanced day, with exercise, meditation and PROPER time off. Also having healthy work habits inspired a lot by Learning How to Learn (popular MOOC on coursera) and work by Cal Newport ( Deep Work ) with a sprinkle of org-mode here and there.
I have to say that first time in my life, I feel happy, fulfilled and proud of my "weekly output"
Any books / papers / articles that one should definitely read on these topics?
“Please refer anyone you know who you think meets the Tesla bar for talent, drive and trust” he wrote. “Between Fremont and Giga, Tesla will be adding about 400 people per week for several weeks.”
Commoditisation of design cannot come soon enough! ( at least the web design part :) )
