🌟Orcas did it!!!
Looking back, starting with 200+ people was more than a challenge for all of us, yet we finished with only 9.
I'm more than grateful to have them all. Imagine committing 1+ hour daily for a month, and making constant work at buildcored.com. They deserve more than a raspberry pis, and special invitations.
Also, for the Orcas v2.0, we're working with NazarX. It's happening this summer in Tashkent, w…

CAUTION 🎉
We got three super-intelligent Claude fellows who surrounded Mac, and two of them have already escaped.
If anybody wants to pet one, please reach out to @buildcored_admin
But you have to promise to take care of them once you receive!!
And yes, it comes with a prompt that makes your Claude much more intelligent ;)

🏌️ OpenAI just dropped a challenge called Parameter Golf.
And it's one of the most interesting ML competitions we’ve seen.
• Build the language mode under 16MB (weights + training code, combined)
• Train in under 10 minutes on 8×H100 GPUs
• Be evaluated on bits per byte (BPB) — tokenizer-agnostic compression on the FineWeb dataset.
The baseline:
A 9-layer, 512-dim transformer with 1024-token vocab, grouped query at…

A month ago people were paying others to install it in person for $80.
Now after the security scare, people are paying to have it uninstalled $50.
funniest part: it’s the same people running both businesses.

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @buildcored. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
