New year, new post... about data and resolutions (what else). www.distributedthoughts.org/2026-01-06-r...

i would never bet against Thiel but if he can't make Austin or Miami happen, i don't think Nigeria is easier

LMAO

man, i'm such a dunderhead. i keep writing "I can't believe in the year 2001, we are still invading countries with no reason whatsoever except falsing projecting power and oil grabs." instead of the correct date! ugh

I really really really want to be against doxxing universally but this is hilarious okstupid.lol

god i love skiing - www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjZv...

my friend has an AMAZING cooking youtube channel - i watch them all the time - for example, the first video i've ever seen that explains how airfryers differ from convection ovens and mimic deep frying! youtu.be/yw--NLjZBNk?...

lol - Apple really giving up on the bootstrap concept (this is on a three year old iPad)

Delete your Twitter account right now. Just do it.

i love both NYC and SF in different ways but i can't get over the fact that i have heard it several times that people who visit SF say how dirty it is and the same people who visit NYC say it's great. I've lived in both places let me assure you there is plenty of grime to go around.

Very cool development. Being on his website and giving this man your data for free while he uses your accounts as AI feeders and experiments on you to perfect his exploitative algorithm is definitely still morally neutral. For sure.

I love them so so so much

I didn't see enough news about this crazy/cool paper from DeepSeek - you take text, and convert it to imagery, and you get BETTER performance. Oh and some really neat ideas about contextual memory too. www.distributedthoughts.org/a-picture-is...

There is no other explanation for the supposed anti-government people (usually on the right) to not be out in the streets rioting about this than they were always disingenuous in their anti-government stances. Fascism for me but not for thee.

Genuinely one of the most unprofessional things I’ve seen in sport.

This is among the worst experiences in the world

yet again i learn that no matter HOW upstanding you think someone is, NEVER allow start work without explicitly detailing the work/time. Someone claimed to spend 8 hours doing something that couldn't have taken more than 15m. i'll never stiff anyone, but i'll never work with this person again.

Ever wonder why yesterday is before today which is before tomorrow? Chinese Physicists have a (proposed) answer! www.scmp.com/news/china/s...

in other news, this is incredible. karpathy.bearblog.dev/auto-grade-hn/ If you could have it point at your own email/chats/etc, and give you hindsight analysis, that would be a fucking super power.

lazy web - does anyone remember a campaign style poster from the 50s or 60s i want to say, all black and white, something like "electricity. home. job" or something like that?

"With a microsecond pause, and a finely calculated micromodulation of pitch and timbre—nothing you could actually take offense at—Marvin managed to convey his utter contempt and horror of all things human." - HHGTG God, this quote lives in my brain.

some thoughts on why NVidia acquiring SchedMD/Slurm is such a big deal! it is! www.distributedthoughts.org/nvidia-bough...

*watching original Avatar* 1: nice fade to black my 17 y/o: that’s designed for an ad break The kids are going to be ok

Ok this may be an insane take but I don play football in HS. Padding is really good and I think you’d be able to be healthy for all 10. You’re not gaining a yard unless the blocking scheme is PERFECT, but pads work!

This is the sweetest thing and I hope they keep hanging out periodically

This is wild. I wonder how long they’ll be able to keep this out of the US.

Kind of wild to think about it but the solar/battery boom is as likely to end war in Russia (and soon to be Venezuela) as anything else.

I’m always fascinated by those who think that metals will somehow be a store of value in the apocalypse. Like… can you eat gold? Shoot gold? Worthless.

Media execs HAVE to see this is a fad and will not last, right? Right?

Last nights insane two point conversion is being called the “Hawk-two-er” and this pleases me greatly

News: We are proud to announce a new partnership between Expanso and Coginiti, which is designed to help organizations with distributed data. If you believe "there's got to be a better way to handle our global organization's data," we can confidently say THERE IS. 😄 exso.cloud/expanso-cogi...

i would flip a switch to prevent ever being asked this again

i genuinely thought that only liberals were brain poisoned by "if i debate you on the field of ideas, i will win you to my side" but every day i am proved more wrong

i wish i could make it my job to delete code. such a satisfying feeling.

Drops in between Tue-Thu on the way back? (3)

Half the AI industry is trying to sell you a semi truck to deliver a letter. Don't let them. www.distributedthoughts.org/edge-ml-size...

Canine denied stick?

Seriously. If you see someone working extra hard to convince you to go back to X, block that turd. It's not a genuine entreaty... it's not earnest, it's a desperate business move.

I have a new pretty insane level up. > be me coding something against @expanso.io for a customer > see a bug > give Claude the code base and description of bug plus “can I work around this” and /ultrathink > gives me a full PR and a work around if any > file the PR with the team as a bug report

Are you generating data on-prem, at manufacturing, retail, IoT, edge? AND fan of @motherduck.com duck lake? 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀

Man this has “oh you’ve only lived in NYC for 23 years but here born elsewhere? Get the fuck outta here with your complaining, you’re not a native”

True

Hi all! Sorry for the sincere post, but my daughter volunteers at a service that helps special needs kids and is running a fundraiser. Please help if you can! charidy.com/fcwa

Went inside, texting “thanks xx” (6)

holy shit man this is art

seriously though, what the fuck kind of alpha ordering is this? share.cleanshot.com/Zp5rm8c5
