@BishopBarron thanks for clearing that up. also sharing the church position on zionism

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.

smartest post of the day on X

@JadeCole2112 totally

@BuildsTim X should go back to 256 characters.

I am not re-posting this to give them engagement, but f*ck off with this fake engagement bait BS.

@BasedZillenial she is probably body count 100+ already at 23. in no way child bride material.

Referring to a person getting married at 23 as a “child bride” is an insult to young girls who are legitimate child brides.

@Manchu__ @madelineefry Yes, was assuming married and what you are talking about is a tough situation and I don’t disagree with you

@BuildsTim @madelineefry That would be great if men didn’t have a tendency to abandon the mothers of their children.

After I had my first baby I was at a bar with two unmarried friends who were talking in front of me about how they didn’t want pregnancy to ruin their bodies and I was like ??? I’m right here sis

@hibakod there was one guy who worked for SalesLoft and wanted me to have Soc2 but i never got that one. i was also asked by a customer of my CRM whether i was Soc2 and i had to explain my processes. but so far nobody set a line in the sand

@BuildsTim I haven’t needed it yet but I have only had one “big” contract so far

I knew SOC2 was a scam when I saw Cluely had it like 6 months ago

@DavidKPiano God forbid an engineer spends any time thinking through problems himself.

This has big "if your senior engineers aren't writing at least 1000 lines of code per day, something is wrong" energy

@hibakod i've avoided it so far, how about you? gotten some pretty good contracts without it.

@BuildsTim Agreed. Unfortunate but we need to play the game

@BasicAppleGuy just give me backlight and i'll take either

Team Black Key Caps or Team White Key Caps? ⚫️⚪️

@thepatwalls i think this is common sense but most apps still love to ask for a login. bad user experience! they do it to get your email i think. valid goal but i don't use many apps that force me to login (except the ones that are must have)

dude is doing $20K+ per month with his iOS app. it has (1) no authentication/login and (2) no database (just uses local storage). i'd advise anyone reading this to go look at what he built and then punch yourself in the face before letting yourself build ANOTHER feature

@deanzilla @r0ck3t23 totally.

@BuildsTim @r0ck3t23 “CEOs should measure success by dollars spent on compute” says a CEO selling compute. This tracks.

Jensen Huang just gave every CEO on the planet a single number to judge their engineering team by. Not lines of code. Not features shipped. Dollars burned in compute. Huang: “If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. And this is no different than one of our chip designers who says, ‘Guess what? I’m just gonna use paper and pencil. I don’t think I’m gonna need any CAD tools.’” Half a million dollars in salary. Five thousand dollars in token spend. That ratio should be keeping every hiring manager awake tonight. It means your most expensive engineer is solving problems by hand that a machine could close in seconds. You are paying Formula 1 money for someone pedaling a bicycle. Huang is not suggesting engineers use more AI. He is saying if they are not consuming massive volumes of inference, your organization has a structural failure it has not diagnosed yet. And if you are the engineer in that seat right now, the math is staring directly at you. Your value is no longer measured by what you can build alone. It is measured by how much machine output you can direct, evaluate, and multiply. The ones who refuse to let go of the keyboard are pricing themselves out of the conversation. Calacanis pushed him on what this looks like two or three years out. Huang didn’t give a forecast. He eliminated three assumptions the entire industry still plans around. Huang: “‘Wow, this is too hard,’ that thought is gone. ‘This is gonna take a long time,’ that thought is gone. ‘We’re gonna need a lot of people,’ that thought is gone.” Too hard. Gone. Too long. Gone. Too many people. Gone. Every planning conversation in every boardroom in the world is built on at least one of those three constraints. Huang just declared all three obsolete. Huang: “This is no different than in the last Industrial Revolution somebody goes, ‘Boy, that building really looks heavy.’ Nobody says that. Everything that’s too big, too heavy, takes too long, those ideas are all gone. You’re reduced to creativity.” The Industrial Revolution made it absurd to say an object was too heavy to move. This moment makes it absurd to say a problem is too complex to build. Once you saturate your workforce with enough inference, the only bottleneck left is the quality of the idea itself. Not the team size. Not the timeline. Not the technical difficulty. The idea. That is all that is left. Huang: “In the past, we code. In the future, we’re gonna write ideas, architectures, specifications. We’re gonna organize teams. We’re gonna define how to evaluate the definition of good versus bad. And I think that every engineer is gonna have a hundred agents.” The engineer of the next decade does not write code. They write intent. They define what good looks like. They architect the problem. They evaluate the output. They direct a hundred agents executing in parallel across every layer of the stack. The companies still hiring engineers to manually write syntax are staffing a typing pool in the age of the printing press. The engineer’s job is no longer to build. It is to command.

when we homeschool we naturally tailor the experience to each child strength and weaknesses. school doesn't do this, or does it badly. we now have 1 child married and had their first child, 1 getting married in July and doing well in his welding career, 1 studying for priesthood, 1 in college for nursing, and 3 still at home. 0 signs of social disorders, 0 signs of struggling intellectually in life.

We are currently experiencing an era where the newest generation, Gen Z, are scoring lower cognitively in every single area than the previous generation at the same age. It’s unprecedented. So most teachers can’t teach our children either, & I care more about my kids education.

@martyrdison wouldn't it be amazing? God has a sense of humor

ai might quietly change dating faster than we expect for years, women delayed kids because they had careers, money, independence, etc but if ai starts taking away those paths, the incentives shift do women start having kids earlier because work isn’t as stable? or start prioritizing finding a husband sooner for security? if the “i’ll wait until everything is perfect” era was built on economic expansion, what replaces it in an era of compression?

@KurtSupeCPA dont make your job your identity. make it God, family, not your job!

Client was a VP at a large company. 62 years old. Was going to work until 65. January: called into HR. Severance package. Sign by Friday. He called me that afternoon. "I think I just got retired." No transition. No goodbye lunch. No plan. His whole identity was that job. His social life was those people. His purpose showed up every morning at 7:45am. The money was fine. We figured out the money in two meetings. The identity took a few years. He told me recently: "The hardest part wasn't losing the job. It was realizing I'd built my whole life inside someone else's building." Retirement that happens to you hits completely differently than retirement you choose. Millions of people in their 60s are navigating this right now and nobody is talking about it.

you are not on the verge of disappearing. but artists always, throughout history, have gone up and down on commercialization of their works so they can make a living. Vermeer for example was broke at his death. he had a house full of billions of dollars of art in today's money! so adapt, figure out where your work can sell, and trust me, it's amazing stuff

Acabo de saber que he perdido otro cliente que ha preferido recurrir a la IA (no doy más detalles). Cada vez que subo imágenes como esta a las redes de mi proceso de trabajo me siento como un viejo artesano a punto de desaparecer, como un calafate o un tonelero...

@Maga4liberty no

What do you think about females serving in the Special Forces???

@DecentCloud_org @LLMJunky @TheAhmadOsman @0xSero @ivanfioravanti @ZenMagnets @NVIDIAAI oh thanks for that, i will give that a try.

@BuildsTim @LLMJunky @TheAhmadOsman @0xSero @ivanfioravanti @ZenMagnets @NVIDIAAI Power headers fail more often than the card. Test with a different PSU rail before assuming the A6000 is dead.

Finally proud to announce that I've joined the GPU Minor Leagues. 2 x RTX 6000 Pro. I have six months to pay off the second GPU lol. You are all TERRIBLE influences.
