Based on this Reuters report, OpenAI is trying to control both the hardware stack and the models.

Spending $20B+ on Cerebras chips and taking an equity stake feels like a huge shift. Good for breaking Nvidia’s grip, or bad because AI gets even more concentrated in the hands of a few giants?

Is this how OpenAI can maintain its lead and win against Anthropic and others?


Making models smarter is saturated at this point. But making models faster and is low cost vector for growth.

OpenAI will not win against Anthropic that way. But they will make themselves indispensable to bilions of new, invisible micro solutions.


How have the coding interviews changed recently? Some companies say that they don't allow AI during interviews, right?


No, never! Add a proper gitignore, put instructions in CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md to NEVER read env files. Add pre- and post-hooks in Claude Code to prevent it from reading env files.

Best yet - never keep sensitive data locally on your machine in plaintext


Project - docmancer

Description - An open-source, MIT-licensed, local-first tool that fetches and indexes technical docs on your machine so coding agents can query it directly. The goal is to become a local, version-aware alternative to tools like Context7.

Contributions welcome - Python, RAG, developers who want to get their first open-source PR

I’m working on docmancer (https://github.com/docmancer/docmancer), an MIT-licensed, local-first tool that fetches and indexes technical docs on your machine so coding agents can query it directly.

The goal is to become a local, version-aware alternative to tools like Context7. Pull the docs once, query locally, and use audited packs that match your project stack.

Docmancer also reduces context bloat by returning only the relevant sections instead of dumping full docs into the prompt, which can cut token usage by up to 80%.

No MCP server required. Your coding agents can access docs directly through the CLI.


Oh, wait, in addition to their usual conspiracy theories, now they can also claim that this is AI-generated!


Absolutely not!

A master's degree in computer science can be a valuable asset. While it is true that AI technologies are advancing rapidly, a master's degree in computer science can still provide a solid foundation in fundamental concepts and technologies that are likely to remain relevant for many years to come. In addition, a master's degree can help you develop advanced skills and expertise in a particular niche.

Moreover, a master's degree can also benefit those interested in pursuing academic or research careers in computer science.

Also, it is important to note that a "degree" or a "certificate" is just one factor. Other factors, such as your technical skills, ability to work well in a team, and problem-solving abilities, will also determine your success in the industry. Lastly, going to a University can also help you network with your peers, which is helpful in the long run.


For me, personally, it's not just the rule changes, but also the experience itself getting progressively worse and worse, especially on Android.

For instance, Twitter Spaces has always bugged out for me on my Android app(even pre-Elon). It just feels like a second-class citizen...


Oh really? What other options do you recommend?


Not who your asking but I suspect I know; none

Twitter being a dumpster fire doesn't mean we need to find a new dumpster


Yeah, but in the last week, it's been going downhill - abrupt removal of Spaces, Android users not able to like and retweet, and all that :(
