Talking to smarter folks than me, I'm convinced many of the AI folks in my timeline are full of shit.
Nobody is "running 20 agents over night" and building stuff for actual users. Maybe some are building internal tools or disposable software. Maybe.
But building software people like using? That doesn't get hacked on day one or blow up after the 3rd user? Nope.
I don't even understand what that's supposed to look like. Do you work out a 57 pages document that perfectly describes what you want to build and then summon 14 agents and have them run wild for 6 hours? And what comes out on the other end isn't a broken pile of shit?
Nope. Not buying it.
PS: it may also be that I have an IQ of 82 and can't figure it out.

@sweatystartup How is a Turkish get up safer lol? Maybe if you are using tiny weight, that shit feels so risky on the rotator but I use a 53 kb

I haven't done the following exercises in 15 years:
1. Bench
2. Squat
3. Clean
4. Dead lift
I actually think it is ridiculous for non-competitive athletes to EVER do these exercises. Risk of injury simply too high.
Much better:
1. Push ups
2. Body squats (kettlebell)
3. Turkish get up (kettlebell)
4. Single leg RDL (kettlebell)
Oh and pilates > weight room.

@kevinblue345 Didn’t know it was hidden from people but I work with geneticists doing cancer research and it is true that lots of black people are highly mixed including native DNA. Makes personalized medicine harder than for homogenous populations

@zeroxjackson Just go to CrossFit 2-3 times a week. Only 1 hour and they tell you want to do. Can easily burn 400+ cal.

@mmpadellan It’s just forgery. You can buy fake docs like a fake id. I did real estate for over 15 years it’s been around for a long time

@charcoded lol my area has dedicated large buses that take old Asian ladies to the casino. They been gambling longer than most of us on X have been alive

@CynicalPublius CA is a donor state. Would actually be a better deal here cutting the federal rate
English

Here's an idea.
How about we eliminate ALL federal subsidies for health insurance, food, heating oil & gas, child care, and housing, and instead leave it up to the states (and cut federal income taxes accordingly)?
That way if you want a bunch of free stuff you can move to a state offering a bunch of free stuff, and if you want to work hard at a job and keep more of the money you earn, you can move to state that helps only those truly in need.
Deal?
I mean, I'm sure all those rich California, Illinois and Massachusetts Democrats would be totally fine with a massive tax burden that no one feels in Texas, South Carolina or Utah.
Deal?

@ForrestPKnight Was making 3D models, then I wanted to rig and animate them. One thing led to another and I made some full games, now an engineer at a biotech company lol

@thesamparr I think a lot of people also don’t take into account that it is a hedge against shelter inflation and shelter is most households biggest expense

A hill I will die on:
Buying a a home is almost always not a great financial investment.
yes, even taking into account leverage. looking at averages, investing in SP500 is more profitable (on average).
and also, that's ok! buy because its a great emotional ivnestment.

@forgebitz I just did the for an outsourcing company we took over 🤣. Needed to build something they would use and also needed employee management and customer management after closing sales. BUT I only did this cause I have built tons of ERP in bio tech before so it’s fast

@KatKanada_TM @serialinvesting I work with a lot of scientists and engineers. They don’t do any of that shit either but also aren’t religious.
English

@serialinvesting Yet they remain undone by so many. Christ saves.

@WallStreetApes This is a made up story lol. At least impossible in CA because tax basis change is capped at 2%. Also I have run scripted analysis of millions of transactions to create Ai training data and this pattern has never appeared

BlackRock’s shell company scam to skyrocket the cost of entire neighborhoods
BlackRock is buying homes at lower values and then selling those homes to themselves, to shell companies, for hundreds of thousands more. Here’s how the scam works
- Step one, the identify middle class neighborhoods with growth potential
- Step two, they buy hundreds of homes in cash, 20 to 30% above asking price
- Step three, regular families can't compete with unlimited corporate cash, they buy about 50+ homes in the neighborhood
- Step four, once they control enough inventory, they sell a few homes to shell companies that they already own with inflated prices, hundreds of thousands over what they bought them for
- Step five, those inflated sale prices become the new market rate
- Step six, your property taxes. And this is where it gets crazy. Your property taxes triple based on these fake sales
“So the Family that saved for 10 years to buy their first home outbid by a corporation with infinite money. The elderly couple who owned their home for 40 years forced out by property taxes they can't afford. Meanwhile, and this is where all the good money comes in for them, BlackRock rents these homes back to the same families they priced out”
“They're stealing the American Dream”

@drawkkwast @PeterSweden7 I’m not saying it’s a good system. That’s just how it is currently setup in the US and most other developed countries.
English

@FatMoth @PeterSweden7 You’re describing a financial ponzi scheme where you believe that the young must become the slaves of the old, and I reject such a disgusting idea.
