if you think, they are being generous, don't: these ass-wipes offer 3-4 times that much just to steal a single employee.

🗣Terence Tao: "We lived in a world with cognitive friction until very recently, where every task required us to use our brain.
So we didn't really think about it, we just thought this was the cost of doing something intellectual. But now we have AI and the other technologies that can bring these frictions down to zero."
Most research time is not spent having cinematic insights. It is spent checking cases, chasing references, translating intuition into computation, testing a path, finding it false, and deciding whether the failure taught you anything.
AI changes the cost of that loop. Terence Tao says that now he can try “crazier things,” and that makes so much difference. Because unconventional ideas are often not rejected by proof, but by inconvenience.
A mathematician may avoid a strange direction not because it is foolish, but because the bookkeeping, coding, or literature search needed to test it is too expensive for a hunch.
This is where cognitive friction becomes scientific friction. Lowering it does not make taste, judgment, or proof disappear; it makes more weak signals cheap enough to inspect before they are abandoned.
AI is making hesitation less expensive, and that is often where discovery begins.

That's pretty straightforward stuff. I've been saying it for months in my work (algorithm development). With Claude Code I'm able to test directions/approaches that would have taken hours or days in minutes, and I have much better data visualization (because in the old days, getting better data visualization meant spending several hours on coding that, just to discover it didn't help you at all). A bonus of this rapid development cycle (idea->test->accept or dismiss) is that I retain coherent train of thought regarding the development of the thing I'm working on - my thought flows continuously, instead of being interrupted every time for hours or days to test a hypothesis. These factors together allow me to achieve amazing results that would have been well beyond my reach otherwise. Not because I wouldn't have thought about them myself (the occasions on which Claude offers a genuinely good novel approach are extremely limited. Usually it's rehashing straightforward, mainstream approaches, which lead to mediocre results), but because I wouldn't be able to follow them up myself, certainly not in the allotted time.

Francheska Elyra: April 15th, 7:30AM - 2031
Traveling.
We leave Mama Lidia's house in the city of Naga at about seven therty in the morning. The baby bus Ken has rented sits warm in the early sun outside while the last bags are being loaded and the last checks are being made — doors, windows, the stove, the lights.
Ken is the one pacing back and forth, the way he always does when he wants to make sure nothing is left behind.
His mother Francia has to be picked up first. Her office sits near SM City Naga, not far from the central bus district terminal.
She works the call center there — as she has been for years — and Ken has timed the pickup so she is already waiting at the curb by the time we arrive, still in her work clothes, bag already over her shoulder, not a second wasted.
She climbs in, greets everyone with the quick efficiency of a woman who has somewhere to be, and we are moving before the bus door has fully settled shut.
After that, there is nothing left to do but sit, and watch the world change outside the window.
From Naga, the bus follows the Maharlika Highway southward — the old national road, the one that has been there longer than most of the towns it passes through.
The city gives way to Pili first, the provincial capital of Camarines Sur, flat and spreading, before the road begins threading through a quieter stretch of municipalities — Bula, Baao, Nabua, Bato — each one announced by a small cluster of houses, a church steeple, a row of roadside vendors selling whatever is in season.
The land here is low and open, rice fields stretching out wide on either side of the road, still green in the places the last planting has not yet been harvested.
Carabaos move slowly near the paddies, unbothered by the passing vehicles.
Somewhere past Polangui, crossing from Camarines Sur into Albay, the landscape begins to change its character.
The flatness tightens. Hills appear at the edg

100% agree, commenters should focus on the topic at hand and keep their intolerances to themselves.
Hey,
I got tired of opening 10 different websites for simple tasks, so I built one place with 150+ tools.
A while back, I noticed I was constantly switching between different websites just to complete basic tasks. One site for file conversion, another for JSON formatting, another for image utilities, PDF tools, text processing, generators, calculators, and so on. It felt like I was spending more time finding tools than actually getting work done.
To solve that, I started building my own collection of utilities. What began as a few personal tools gradually turned into RisersBox, a platform that now includes 150+ tools for developers, students, creators, and everyday productivity needs. My focus was keeping everything fast, simple, and accessible without unnecessary clutter. I also tried to make the experience privacy-conscious wherever possible and focused on tools that people genuinely use in day-to-day workflows.
This has been a completely solo project from day one. No funding, no team, and no big launch strategy. Most of it was built during nights, weekends, and spare hours outside work. Launching it publicly has been both exciting and nerve-racking. I would genuinely appreciate honest feedback from this community. If you get a chance to try it, let me know what feels useful, what is missing, and what tools you would want added next.
I also launched it on Product Hunt today, so if you'd like to check it out, just search "RisersBox" on Product Hunt.
Thanks for reading and for any feedback you share 🙏

Let's observe and see the end unfold.

Many before them tried the same thing, and all met the same tragic end.
M. Osipovit hardly sounds like anything, except a collection of random words.
Yeah, this is what I meant

they can actually create something much superior than a human, not a god but anyway

Does he refer to Mythos or something else?

Claude is definitely better than human developers now.

🔥Humanoid sorters go on duty
At the China Post Guangzhou Logistics Center,humanoid robots (RobotEra M7) are working on the sorting lines, automatically processing packages.
Each humanoid can sort 1,200 packages per hour, helping to ease the heavy pressure of order fulfillment. In 2025, Guangzhou handled approximately 22billion express parcels, ranking first among all Chinese cities.(just how many humanoid robots would that take?)
In the "first mile," humanoid robots are emerging as the primary workforce for handling packages.
