Iva Jovic prioritizes match count over tournament level
βI really believe in match count and I really believe in getting confidence and getting better. I feel like I get so much better when I'm playing matches. If it's at a 35K or if it's at a Grand Slam, you're improving so much when you play matches. I'd rather take a semis or final at a lower level event than a second round at a higher event.β
βThe way that the Saudi Investment Fund has gone about putting money into tennis is the opposite of what they did with live. I feel like this is a correction on strategy based on what they did with live. They are not going against the tours. Everyone's swimming the same direction and they're trying to provide resources to that direction. They are not overpaying for assets like a Masters 1000, it's not by a multiple of 47 like they were for live golfers.β
Ben Shelton breaks American clay court title drought
βBen Shelton coming through. First American man since 2002 to win a 500 level event or better. Ben won on slow clay in Munich. I was really impressed. I like what I saw. On tour, this is a different win. This is like, oh, OK. This is a nice win. Like, we say statement too much, but this is at least kind of, may I have your attention for 12 seconds while you're eating lunch?β
Elena Rybakina enters the World Number 1 conversation
βShe's in this number one conversation for the year, folks. I'm just telling you, she is firmly... She's not having a lot of off weeks. This consistency over a four or five month period is not something we've seen from Rybakina before. This feels different than what it's been before with her in as far as I can tell.β
Vondrousova faces suspension for missed doping test
βBasically, I mean, it sounds like, I don't want to diagnose this, you know, it's not like someone knocked on her door, she had a panic attack, she didn't realize that it was an anti-doping official, she missed the test. The ITIA essentially confirmed in broad strokes what had happened. Now we'll have to see. She's facing potentially a four-year ban, which is a lot for a missed test.β
Skip one burger per month to offset your AI water use
βThe first question I got was, yeah, but what about the insane water use on data centers? But then you actually sit down and do the math. And then for most people, if you just skip one burger per month, that compensates the the CO2 output or, like, the water use in the equivalent of tokens. So so there well, like, golf is still using way more water than all data centers together. So are you also hating people that play golf?β
βI noticed that on Discord, people just said how they like, what they build and what they use it for. Why do you need my fitness pal when the agent already knows where I am? It can modify my my gym workout based on how well I slept or if I'm if I stress or not. Why do I still need an app to do that? Why do I have to why should I pay another subscription for something that the agent can just do now?β
βThe talk here is already, this is going to be the next player, the next French player to win at Roland Garros. He beat Jean-Munar, five sets, drama, agita. And the way he has come back and recovered in one on service, beating Rubelv on Clay, he hits a huge ball, but he also gives himself some margin. If you were going to pick someone other than Sidor Alcaraz were going to win Roland Garros, I'd put him in my top five right now.β

βWe are the hardest sport in the world. And do you know when we look soft as baby shit? Is when we complain about getting hit in doubles and when we complain about someone hitting an underhand served, as if they've done something to personally offend us. Get out of here. There is nothing wrong with it. If you get caught not paying attention, that's on you.β

Carlos Alcaraz faces wrist injury before Roland Garros
βA photo of him on Instagram at a restaurant circulated him taking a photo with the restaurant owner, we assume, also showing his right wrist in a removable cast of some kind. That's not an image you necessarily want to see a month before Roland Garros, is it? Feliciano Lopez actually has been sort of talking about the extent of the injury.β
Most of MoltBook's viral AI psychosis was human-prompted
βMy criticism of MoltBook is that I believe a lot of the stuff that was screenshotted is human prompted, which just looking at the incentive of how the whole thing was used, It's obvious to me, at least, that a lot of it was humans prompting the thing so they can then screenshot it and post it on x in order to go viral.β
OpenClaw won because Peter refused to take it seriously
βBecause they all take themselves too serious. Like, it's hard to compete against someone who's just there to have fun. I wanted it to be fun. I wanted it to be weird. And if you see, like, all the all the lobster stuff online, I think I I managed weird.β
βIn general, it's almost like Opus was is a little bit too American and I should maybe it is a bad analogy. Some other comparison is like, Opus is like the coworker that is a little silly sometimes, but it's really funny and you keep him around. And Codex is like the the weirdo in the corner that you don't wanna talk to, but is reliable and gets shit done.β

Treat agents with empathy because they always start fresh
βNot a lot of people ever considered the way the agent sees the world. So empathy. Being empathetic towards the agent. You bitch at your stupid clinker, but you don't realize that they start from nothing. And you have, like, a bad agents in default that doesn't help them at all. And then they explore your code base, which is like a pure mess with like weird naming. And then people complain that the agent's not good.β
βMCPs, that has to be added in training. That's not a very natural thing for the model. It requires a very specific syntax. And the biggest thing, it's not composable. So imagine if I have a service that gives me better data and it gives me the temperature, the average temperature, rain, wind, and all the other stuff. As a model, I always have to get the huge blob back. But if I would build the same as a CLI and it would give me this huge blob, it could just add a j q command and filter itself.β
βI had this, I had a shoulder operation a few months ago. And the model rarely used heartbeat, but then I was in the hospital. And it knew that I had the operation, and it checked up on me. It's like, are you okay? And I just it's like, again, apparently, like, if something significant in the context, that triggered the heartbeat when it rarely used the heartbeat. And it does that sometimes for people, and that just makes it a lot more relatable.β
OpenClaw began as a one-hour WhatsApp-to-Cloud-Code prototype
βThere was like, one of my projects before already did something where I could bring my terminals onto the web. My search drivers literally just hooking up WhatsApp to cloud code, one shot, the CLI. Message comes in. I call the CLI with minus p. It does its magic. I get the string back, and I send it back to WhatsApp. And I I built this in one hour. And I felt I already felt really cool. It's like, oh, I could I can, like, talk to my computer.β
Retiring early killed his joy until he started building again
βIf you think that, oh, yeah, work really hard and then I retire, I don't recommend that because the idea of, oh, yeah. I just enjoy life now. It maybe is appealing, but right now, I enjoy life the most I've enjoyed life. Because if you wake up in the morning and you have nothing to look forward to, you have no real challenge, that gets very boring very fast. And then when when you're bored, you're gonna look for other places how to stimulate yourself. And then maybe maybe that's drugs.β
Crypto bots sniped his GitHub and NPM accounts in seconds
βI had two browser windows open. One was like an empty account ready to be renamed renamed to Cloudbot. And the other one, I renamed to Modbot. So I pressed rename there. I pressed rename there. And in those five seconds, they stole the account name. Literally, the five seconds of dragging the mouse over there and pressing rename there was too long. Because there's no those systems I mean, you would expect that they have some protection or like an automatic forwarding, but there's nothing like that.β

Voice messages magically worked because the agent improvised the pipeline
βI just send it a message. And and then a typing indicator appeared, and and I'm like, wait. I didn't build that. It's only it only has image support. He sent me a message, but it only only was a file and no file ending. So it I checked out the header of the file, and it found that it was, like, Opus. So I used FFmpeg to convert it. And then I wanted to use this, but you didn't had it installed. But then I found the OpenAI key and just used curl to send a file to to OpenAI to translate, and here I am.β
