Exciting personal update — I've been working on building the world's brightest lamp, with the goal of getting daylight levels of light indoors. We just launched on Indiegogo an hour ago; I'm especially proud of the video!

5.3 codex has not automated research yet 😭

Random and very cool product - super bright 60,000 lumen lamp (@brighterlamp by @sberens) As bright as ~36x 100 watt light bulbs Nearly full brightness daylight inside your home office, should be great for productivity and mood especially in winter https://t.co/iNdncGDF6l

I found the only nice person on hacker news

vibecoding??? old. introducing vibe hyperparameter tuning hacked together a physical dial to adjust learning rate, grad clip, and automatically take checkpoints from @sberens’s spare parts come by the @si_pbc office if you want to play noam shazeer simulator!

only in SF will you have customers disassemble your spare parts for ML experiments @si_pbc

peep the @brighterlamp in the corner 👀

they should split every state in half like this so if your state passes dumb laws you can just move 1 mile over

I like the Brighter Lamp. Especially on rainy days in San Francisco, my office now feels brighter than outside. Feels good. Thanks @sberens

This is the least depressed winter I've ever had (besides the whole mom dying thing), and I think a lot is due to the Brighter Lamp @sberens I got as a life raft to my circadian rhythm. It's so extremely bright my roomates moan like vampires when they enter my office.

After 5 years of coding with AI, I've written a comprehensive guide. The only limit should be your own ideas:

I updated it with the projections from the california Legislative's Analysts Office. According to the LAO we can expect a deficit of 120B in 5 years, and extrapolating leads to 400B in 10 years. (I also improved the design.) https://t.co/HVYTePdD5S

https://t.co/HVYTePeaVq It's great doing research with llms because they add useful disclaimers + context I didn't know about, and they can easily provide reasonable estimates.

I wanted to understand what is happening with the california budget & the billionares tax, so claude code researched + built me an interactive CA budget simulator. tldr: even with the tax, we're on track for a 130 billion deficit within 10 years

Just got this ultra-bright floor lamp after backing it on Indiegogo earlier this year. It is really nice!! I had high expectations and it's the first very-bright light I've bought that actually met them. All other similarly-bright lights I've tried look ugly or feel off somehow

Just got my Brighter lamp and I'm absolutely obsessed. It is 9:53pm and I feel like I have infinite energy. It doubles as a little space heater next to my desk. The diffuse/fill lighting makes me look fantastic on Zoom. 10/10 let there be light.

Lamp review: it makes my fiancés complexion look warm and glowy, in the same way summer sunlight does, which I’ve never encountered with other indoor lighting

Just got my Brighter lamp and I'd recommend it! The light disperses surprisingly far, and our living room feels >2x brighter than having all the existing lights on. All the direct light points at the ceiling, so it doesn't get in your eyes either.
