@Rothmus Australia not even on the list 😞

Parental approval is one of the few forms of external validation I actually support. The welfare state has nearly destroyed it by subsidizing the breakdown of kinship and intergenerational duty. (This is statist atomization, not individualism)

@GadSaad I have no understanding of why you're on the receiving end of hate, and I'm sorry to hear it. I for one will absolutely be buying your book, when I can. 👍

Thank you. The haters are coming at me from every direction!

@bindureddy :) Agree.

The Grok AI is extremely underrated Grok has the most unbiased and current view of reality! Way better than GPT 5.5 Misinformation is largely a solved problem - thanks to Grok

Whilst true, I will just lightly add this: Grok has improved ten fold in the last year and I find it saying "what I want to hear" FAR less, sometimes not at all. Yes, be VERY careful going to AI for mental health support. But, just a small little shout-out that some AI's are getting to the point of being helpful - and I do feel @Grok is one of them. It is still on the user & the user's education/critical thinking end of the day of course, but I personally won't go near ChatGPT after my brief experience with it a little over a year ago also.

As I sit with the unopened box of Zoloft I was prescribed last week on my desk feeling both extremely hesitant to take it, but desperate enough to want to rewire/not know what else to do - this video pops up on my timeline. Probably not worth the risk, is what I'm thinking now.

Thank you for posting this. I was prescribed Zoloft 5 years ago, but I ended up stopping after some amount of months. I was desperate for change after going through a traumatic & upsetting family event (leading to a PTSD/CPTSD diagnosis). I have again been prescribed Zoloft last week, and I am staring at the unopened box I purchased on autopilot severely hesitating. Don't really want to, but also desperate yet again. I think I'm leaning towards now not taking them, and this vide has has assisted a little in that decision. Don't think the risk is worth such potential little improvement, if any at all. Oddly still left with the feeling of "not sure what to do" even though I think I've made a decision, but that's the desperation talking I suppose.

The cartoonist very good job of bringing this lecture to life and provides an overview of how antidepressants work and the trouble with stopping them, including what we know about the safest way to do so. Link below.

@Favwontmiss Accurate 😂

being neurodivergent is having the vision of a ceo, the emotional depth of a poet, and the executive dysfunction of a raccoon.

the anatomy of ~/.hermes folder. one folder controls everything your hermes agent knows, remembers, and can do. understanding its layout is the difference between treating hermes as a black box and actually customizing it. here's what lives inside and why each piece matters. 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴.𝘆𝗮𝗺𝗹 is the source of truth for everything non-secret: model choice, terminal backend, tool enablement, MCP servers. 𝗲𝗻𝘃 holds your API keys and bot tokens. 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵.𝗷𝘀𝗼𝗻 stores OAuth credentials. then there's 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗟.𝗺𝗱. it occupies slot #1 in the system prompt, before anything else loads. it defines who the agent is: personality, tone, communication style, hard limits. everything the agent writes, creates, and remembers passes through this identity layer. 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀/ contains two tiny files. 𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗬.𝗺𝗱 (2,200 chars) holds project conventions, tool quirks, lessons learned. 𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗥.𝗺𝗱 (1,375 chars) holds your profile. both get injected into the system prompt as frozen snapshots at session start. when they fill up, the agent consolidates: merges entries, drops redundancy, keeps only what's dense and useful. 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀/ is where the learning loop lives. each skill is a self-contained ability: a 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟.𝗺𝗱 (the procedure), a 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀/ folder (docs the agent reads), and 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘀/ (executable helpers). skills come from three sources: bundled with hermes, downloaded from the hub via 𝗵𝘂𝗯/, or created by the agent itself during your sessions. hermes ships with 687 skills across 18 categories, and you can add any GitHub repo as a custom tap. 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀/ stores per-platform session metadata. 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲.𝗱𝗯 is the SQLite database with FTS5 indexing that backs tier 2 memory. this is what makes "what did we discuss three weeks ago?" actually work across CLI and messaging. 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗻/ holds scheduled jobs in 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀.𝗷𝘀𝗼𝗻 and their outputs in 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗽𝘂𝘁/. the gateway daemon ticks every 60 seconds and runs due jobs in isolated sessions. you describe schedules in plain English, hermes converts them. 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀/, 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀/, and 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀/ are the surface area for user customization. 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘀/ gives you 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁.𝗹𝗼𝗴, 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆.𝗹𝗼𝗴, and 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿𝘀.𝗹𝗼𝗴 for debugging. you won't manually edit most of these files. but knowing this layout means you understand exactly where identity, memory, skills, automation, and state live, and how they connect. i wrote a full deep dive covering hermes agent's architecture, memory system, self-evolving skills, GEPA optimization, and setting up multiple specialized agents. The article is quoted below.

@Rothmus @BillyM2k Love it 😆

This is why @BillyM2k is king.

Elon Musk was down to almost zero three times before becoming the richest man alive. In 1999 he nearly died from malaria after a trip to Brazil. Doctors gave him a 10% chance of survival. He spent 10 days hallucinating in a hospital bed. One year later he was fired from PayPal. The company he mass founded. While on his honeymoon. The board voted him out and replaced him with Peter Thiel. He found out from the news. In 2008 he was fully broke. SpaceX had three failed launches. Tesla was weeks from bankruptcy. His wife had filed for divorce. He had to borrow money from friends to pay rent. The man who would become worth $300 billion was choosing between funding one more rocket launch or eating. He chose the rocket. That fourth launch succeeded. NASA gave SpaceX a $1.6 billion contract days later. Tesla got emergency funding that same month. Three separate moments where any normal person would have quit. Not reduced effort. Quit entirely. Gone back to software. Taken a safe job. Nobody would have blamed him. He didn't quit because quitting wasn't an option his brain could process. Not because of discipline. Because his identity was so fused with the mission that stopping would have meant mass ceasing to exist. That's not motivation. That's psychopathology pointed at the stars. On June 12 the man who borrowed money for rent in 2008 takes SpaceX public at $2 trillion. The largest IPO in history. The lesson isn't that hard work pays off. The lesson is that the people who change the world and the people who destroy themselves have the exact same trait. The only difference is the outcome.

@InsaneCope Because they can ragebait Westerners by posting libslop and collect revenue from Twitter via engagement Men from Pakistan have discovered this hack and use both AI Instagram models and AI feminists for the same purpose: baiting Western men Evolutionary adaptation

Why is an Indian of all "people" Tweeting about child marriage in Oklahoma? The child marriage rate in India was last measured at around 23% lmao

@morganlinton Congrats ☺️

Okay, today is nuts. Elon has commented on two separate tweets of mine. Holy moly!!! 😅

@cb_doge And the most handsome. 😏

Elon Musk is by far the funniest billionaire on this planet.

“Neurodivergent people have a hard time understanding humor.” Or maybe we understand it perfectly and you’re just not funny.

“Sycophancy. Anthropomorphism. Deification. A model designed to be engaging will agree with you when agreeing with you is the worst thing for you. Her risk factors Stimulants Sleep loss Grief A pull toward magical thinking.”

doing anything fun this weekend?
