JSON is token‑expensive for LLMs – just like @mattpocockuk frequently mentions.
Meet TOON, the Token‑Oriented Object Notation.
💸 40–60% fewer tokens than JSON
📐 readable & tokenizer-aware
Wrap your JSON with `encode` to save half the token cost:

Our greatest enemy continues to be ourselves.
Excellent job Lina Khan, you successfully destroyed iRobot, a company that Amazon wanted to purchase, but you blocked it for fear of a creating some kind of robot vacuum monopoly.
Now which companies are winning? Well of course Roborock, a Chinese robot vacuum company that's flooded the US market and has better infrastructure and development.
Another example of our own government destroying our own companies for the benefit of foreign competitors.

Learn to ship. Shipping is a skill distinct from coding. Shipping is designing, coding, QAing, story-telling, teaching, marketing, selling, pivoting, iterating…
It used to be that coding dominated in importance because of coding ability scarcity. AI will push you to go further.

Potential solution : Marry the girl, have kids (optional, but immediate headaches are more manageable than existential ones), loose the pool, have a normal work schedule.
The East Wing expansion is just phase 1. When phase 2 drops, the @WhiteHouse will be fully symmetrical again. @realDonaldTrump is turning it into a palace.

This feels like one of those interesting but seemingly useless areas of mathematics that will prove someday to power a future super-safe encryption scheme or something. quantamagazine.org/first-sha…

It's more like 60/40
Coding agents could never work as workflows
Lots of workflows I run would be much worse as agents
But it's true that most people underestimate workflows

The biggest infrastructure supercycle in history is here.
We are building the foundation of intelligence itself, with tools, models, silicon and light.
This is our moonshot.
Excited to present Runtime 2025 from @a16z AI x Infra.

The most attractive trait isn’t looks, wealth, or status. It’s energy. Walk into rooms with genuine enthusiasm, curiosity, and interest. You'll become a magnet for the highest quality people. Energy is contagious. Spread the kind you’d want to catch.
