@sukh_saroy Towers of Hanoi is actually a brutal test because it requires recursively calculating the entire path to the solution before making your first move.

Apple researchers took the top reasoning models in the world. o3-mini. DeepSeek-R1. Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking. Then they handed them Tower of Hanoi. The simplest recursive puzzle in computer science. Move disks between pegs. Don't put a big disk on a small one. That's it. That's the whole game.

🚨BREAKING: Apple just dropped a paper proving the smartest "reasoning" AI models on Earth don't actually reason. They collapse to 0% accuracy on a puzzle a 7-year-old can solve. The way they proved it is brutal.

@nmrapport @bizlet7 Lethal Injection has been the preferred method of execution in China since 2010. It was first legalized in 96 and first used in 97. Fun fact its often done in vans now days.

@Slut4The2A @bizlet7 I asked him if he thought it had any kind of psychological effect on him and he looked at me kind of blankly and said, "yeah, nightmares... but they go away."

everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button if more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone dies if less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button die which button would you press?

@RobertMSterling The fact that they were getting paid top percentile salaries for "skills" that are apparently worthless in the private sector, where wages are tied to actual economic productivity, says it all. Just put the fries in the bag 🍟

I feel terrible for anyone who loses their job. I’m not trying to kick anyone while they’re down. But these USAID and NGO workers are the least sympathetic unemployed people I’ve ever seen. EVERY person in this story was making well into six figures: USAID employee: $175,000 USAID contractor: $127,000 USAID-funded NGO employee: $272,000(!) USAID advisor at the DOD: $195,000 USAID contractor: $200,000 There were 16,000 employees at USAID, and the New York Times was only able to interview one making less than $175k. Worldwide, there were an estimated 280,000 contractors. ALL of these people were getting paid from our tax dollars. Many were making 2-4x the wage of the average American taxpayer ($65-70k per year). Yes, USAID did some good work, especially during the Cold War. And, yes, many of the agency’s employees were hard-working Americans, with good intentions and love for their country. Again, we should take no joy in seeing thousands of people lose their livelihoods—this is not a case of justifiable schadenfreude. But it’s not sustainable for an agency with so little accountability to manage tens of billions of dollars per year, enriching tens of thousands of NGO-industrial-complex managers living in the DC/Maryland/Virginia metroplex in the process. Even the NYT acknowledges that “there was bloat and waste in the agency and a need for reform. Much of the $35 billion [USAID] managed in 2024 went to Washington-based contractors, not directly to people in need overseas. The success of many projects was hard to measure.” Every last dollar that went to these highly paid employees was funded by an American taxpayer, the vast majority of whom make far less money than the people laid off from USAID. We have the right to demand accountability, and we have the right to expect that these funds will be spent in our interest, not theirs. USAID and its thousands of employees, contractors, and NGO beneficiaries ignored that principle, and they eventually paid the price with their careers. I wish them all nothing but the best, but I won’t mourn that they will no longer be making $200k per year on the backs of American workers.

@LangmanVince Dear IRS, this year I accidentally overpaid my taxes by $30 million. Silly mistake, I know. Please deposit my refund at your earliest convenience.

Software engineering jobs probably go down to an average salary of 70k dollars a year as any retard with a Claude subscription could do the job while hardware engineers & adjacent jobs capture most of that value.

I've used Claude to generate code from mockups before and everything in the generated code was hardcoded and didn't match what I was trying to do. Waste of tokens. I only use LLM's to solve very small, limited problems one function at a time. And even then I have to edit the code manually to make it right.

Had an interesting discussion with my front-end UI developer. I was asking him why he does not use more claude code to do things faster, and I quickly built a prototype in front of him to show how it was done. He calmly asked me, "Well, if you observe here, this button does not look like the design given in Figma." I said, "It's okay, but look at how fast we quickly built it." Then he told me, "Why is it okay to be fast but wrong with AI, but with me it has to be fast and correct?" 😁

we knew how to make bad code, cheap, and fast, before agentic coding emerged. why didn't we follow that path earlier? it bugs me. why now? we had the knowledge how to build bad code before.

@GrageDustin Ok, so this is clear evidence that the Minnesota Democratic party is in on the fraud at the highest levels and receiving kickbacks. The corruption goes all the way up.

🚨Democrat-appointed judge, Juan Hoyos, offered a $50K conditional bond that would have required Abdirashid Said to surrender his passport. He chose a $150K unconditional bond, kept his passport, and fled the country. Said was a part of an $11M fraud scheme. Unbelievable.
