Very much enjoying this “GPU glossary” mini-book by Modal I got from @can when stopping by at their NYC office

Some projects are only done for shareholder value. This one was done for the love of the game, literally! My favorite online game, Curvytron, is now backed by the Sticky Sessions primitive my team recently shipped :) curvytron.modal.dev/#/ Shoutout to @siwonpark_, @ksinpoint1, and @kathirmeyyappan for embodying the @modal spirit and shipping this with speed.

also i wonder sometimes why / how does the USG use id.me who relies on a montenegro TLD
Every once in a while, some unsuspecting country's domain economy goes vertical 😂 .𝚌𝚘 → Colombia .𝚒𝚘 → I/O → Island Ocean .𝚖𝚍 → Markdown → Moldova .𝚛𝚜 → Rust → Serbia .𝚊𝚒 → AI → Anguilla .𝚜𝚒 → SI → Slovenia

in the future we are all playing factorio
I built a tiny Lovable with @pidotdev durable, @modal and @IncTerse Durable Actors. Should I keep building this and make it a series? Maybe it becomes a software factory

feel like I’ve gotten used to liquid glass. it’s more liquid than glass to me but don’t hate it. i see why they did it; it allows a whole lot more progressive disclosure especially

Vera you gonna see graphs like these but the @modal blog?
We got our hands on @nvidia's new Vera CPU and put it to the test. We built a benchmark using real-world agentic workloads to see how it performs under contention. In early tests, Vera delivered up to 2x the throughput of comparable x86 hardware, maintaining low latency even as hundreds of concurrent workloads competed for resources. For Modal Sandboxes, that could mean running more agents in parallel without sacrificing latency.

didn’t know you could technically put a metal container in the microwave if it’s shaped correctly

I had a high school teacher who challenged us to spend a day once without uttering the word god and it was surprisingly difficult. Should do the same with AI.

who’s gonna tell him?
AI ppl loooove to pretend they hold tons secret knowledge. Everyone has Seen Things, and have been trusted with the Esoteric Knowledge. It's also cringe if you don't partake because it implies you're not in the Inner Circle. In reality most people are kinda confused, working it all out ad hoc, relying on the same rumours, and so on - but the status games are hard to resist!
