Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

Ah but can a shell script do this

I only use mom n'pop datacenters btw

their vibecoded slop / our careful assisted coding

Hypothesis: LLMs will fix this by driving the cost of new feature development to zero while making quality-control the main human value add. When anyone can add extremely visible new features, they stop helping your promotion case.

The Matrix was right: the future *is* really full of screens streaming terminal text no one is reading

People are often not fully legible to themselves, and the process of making yourself more legible to an external system may also make you more legible to yourself.

Super cute idea but now I can imagine getting strangled by glowing robot hands in my sleep

tl;dr is that exp as a generic type is roughly the functor producing the structure of all finite sets, and the taylor expansion can be viewed as the quotient of the list functor by the action of S_n

The standard curriculum was designed when people had hands on access to the physical economy in their daily life, and needed education to teach them abstractions. People no longer have access to the physical economy and need school to teach them it exists.

At some point gemini started remembering that I use nixos and now every conversation ends with "The Nix Perspective: you should track your Knee Pain with Content-Addressed Hashes"

claim: we can combine eml with iota to create the world’s most disgusting numerical programming language

unrelated, but, I hate labelled pie charts so much. who's hiding the algorithm for making them not have stupidly positioned text all the time?

Ha, yes!

i don't need sub-agents i need dom-agents

I am trapped between "I despise Elon musk and everything he touched" and "cybertruck actually did have a cool design idea" I mean it's a LOW POLY car come on

Support group for women in male-dominated fields: Aww, you’re so sweet Support group for men in female-dominated fields: Hello, Human Resources?!

Psyllum-creatine-chia-matcha latte. It sounds better than it looks (but tastes worse)

You’re getting very different medical care now though (at least for the last decade of life). I wonder how expensive 1980s-level insurance would be if it was legal; ie. just stop covering cancer treatment.

she is reading me Designing Data-Intensive Applications as a bedtime story 🥺

If we moved all the datacenters to canada we would no longer have a trade deficit 🙄

I'm super lucky to have an AI dishwasher. All I have to do is set up the dishwashing environment, give it the right prompt (it has like 5 preconfigured skills) and it'll wash them all for me. HUGE timesaver.

*me in the library of babel* the intellectual property implications are staggering

The abominable, immoral, irredeemable plagiarism machine (which I quite enjoy using, ... )

now that we spend less time writing code we can spend more time thinking about glorious Types

Rome vs China

This seems cool

I love women and react

I feel like I'm going insane. OS level age verification is orders of magnitude better for privacy than per-app age verification. Age verification is (unfortunately) extremely popular among voters who don't know better. Meta lobbying for doing it at OS level instead of per-app is harm reduction.

In reality, NV Energy has been planning to stop serving Lake Tahoe since 2009, and the increase in demand from data centers has nothing to do with it. But that wouldn't feed into AI hysteria, so it's conveniently being left out.

claude skills should be manged by nix

MiMo v2 is kinda goated actually, with a decent but not overwhelming amount of the sauce.

I love my little claude

age verification is not a technical issue, it is a fear-based thing. and so if you have the bare minimum, that doesn’t even work, you can still convince the general public that it’s a solved problem

The great thing about C is that if your code compiles, it's correct

ok what's going on here

Kash patel gets too much hate when he’s unambiguously the best member of our regime. We need more kash patels. Replace milller with a kash patel. Replace RFK with a kash patel

metaverse was not a successful business; but it did allow thousands of people to buy homes in the SF bay area ; so it’s impossible to tell whether it’s good or bad

Ideal strat is to just limit computers to computer class, where you learn typing, how file folders work, excel, and maybe a smidgen of python

c’est incroyable

Isn't this basically "Lacan for dummies"? ie. there isn't *actually* a deeper self outside of the narratives you invent about yourself

At the bare minimum, LLMs enable you to do a lot of cool complicated internet stuff while possessing neither hands nor eyes. In practice it's not as smooth as it could be yet, and it's not 100% reliable, but... how can you not see (metaphorically) the vision?

Hey 👋 CLAUDaddies 🤖😍 Did you know 📊 that Claude can take 😩 a FULL 💦 1️⃣ MILLION tokens DEEP 🍆 in its context window 🪟🍑?? That's EXTENDED 🫠 THINKING 🧠 baby and the OUTPUT 💦 just keeps 👏 COMING 👏 AND 👏 COMING 👏

Hell yeah we got atproto oauth working in our tangut flashcards. Does it *do* anything? no it does not f*** you 🙂

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

I get the feeling we’re using “directly” as a synonym for “literally” now 😑

Reducing the california income tax is good iff it is accompanied by dropping prop 13. There's some logistical hurdles to getting both done at the same time but still would be a net positive, easily.

1) Huge grassroots support for bad and stupid policy. 2) Meta responds with astroturfing slightly less bad, significantly less stupid policy.
