@no_itsmyturn When you realize all of these men are quite literally getting high every evening, the entire Iran conflict starts to make more sense

Mohsen Rezaei, former IRGC commander and current advisor to Iran's 🇮🇷 Supreme Leader: If the US 🇺🇸 "continues to make miscalculations," the Iranian Armed Forces will activate ground troops and cross borders (likely to attack US bases in neighboring countries)

@Knownasdan1 @no_itsmyturn No munitions lmao people truly are confused out there

@no_itsmyturn There would be Iranian casualties in the 10s of thousands. It would be a slaughter, the US has complete air superiority, they would be bombed and mowed down mercilessly. Iran is running out of actual military plays aside from vocal threats.

@patterson620 @AlexFinn Now that’s a lie if I’ve ever seen it. These communities are losing their absolute minds. People are fighting against these data centers as though their kids lives depended on it. It’s extreme. I’ve been to these town council meetings

@AlexFinn Hi Alex, it seems that you’re bringing up the most extreme opinions and most people aren’t actually like that if you look into the communities where these data centers are being built. Most people just want an impact study and for their counties to be compensated. No tax breaks

This is the single biggest existential threat to America today Our most popular and influential figures TRULY believe data centers are destroying our farms and drinking all our water Yesterday one of the biggest streamers in the world (Moistcritical) told his audience that data centers are putting sludge in all our water and making us all sick People truly believe this. They're buying into it. It will be one of the biggest reasons people vote in upcoming elections It has the potential to single handedly destroy America Putting aside all the incredible benefits of AI and its ability to allow ANYONE to build and accomplish anything they want, AI will be the single most important factor for national security In the next 15 years wars will no longer be fought by humans. They'll be fought 100% by drones and other robots. Whoever has the smartest and best AI will win the wars. Nations that reject AI will be dominated by nations that embrace AI. It's like if nations rejected guns right before world war 2. They'd be doomed. The single biggest threat to national security right now doesn't come from the outside. It comes from the inside. It comes from influencers who know literally nothing about technology telling the masses that AI is drinking all your water, despite the fact that golf courses consume 30x more water than data centers on an annual basis. If we as the tech community don't do a better job educating the masses and more importantly helping the masses get value out of this incredible technology, America and therefore the world is screwed. It's time to fight back against the misinformation.

@SquonkLives @ChrisCuomo You’re not allowed to have a nuanced take just because economic reality doesn’t match economic theory the “experts” predicted. Tariffs exist when price is up; tariffs don’t exist when price isn’t up (TACO). It’s all circular on a thesis that Trump is bad and just accept it, ok?

Couple things. Importing firms lower their prices to offset (no, not 100%) the increase. Other domestic distributors also lower prices (no, not 100%) to absorb the increase. Tariffs can improve the sales of domestically produced goods, increasing US wages & employment. Trump uses tariffs as a negotiating lever for comprehensive international relations. Net, net it's likely they benefit Americans overall.

Who paid the tarriffs? AMERICANS

@davidfrum They DO have a plan: Tariffs, re-shoring, pro growth tax policy, deregulation, reducing federal workforce size, and energy abundance policies. Look at the debt to gdp ratio, not outright deficit size. Dishonest af - what is the dem plan? “Tax billionaires”? Lmao

Even before the Iran war, the second Trump administration was the most fiscally reckless in US history. Massive deficits without the impetus of recession or pandemic - and without any plan to restore budget balance, ever. Latest David Frum Show. youtube.com/watch?v=ICc8UZ…

@Axefield @APompliano Nobody said anything about going down in price. Way to volunteer your ignorance to the world lmao

@APompliano Clown world bullshit you can't claim shit has gone down in price when it's gone down a tiny bit and year over year it's still grossly overpriced.. Until we see 1 pound of sugar at .98c again should we be celebrating, it's still at #3 and cpi didn't do shit it's still at $3

Inflation is falling. As I predicted, inflation was not going to skyrocket and all the doomsday predictors would be dead wrong.

@BrettErickson28 The problem of our time: Terrorists hold the civilians hostage in their own country, hide behind them, kill them in the streets, and use their sufferings as propaganda and deterrence - framing the good guys as the bad guys. And somehow, half you morons fall for it. Every time.

It seems increasingly likely that the United States is going to wage a completely unhinged economic warfare campaign against Iran in the coming days. This will include: 1) The bombing of economic and civilian infrastructure that will have lasting effects on the population 2) A blockade of Iranian ports meant to cut off access to wheat, medical supplies, and cooking oil, and the export of oil 3) Major sanctions on effectively every area of the Iranian economy 4) Bombing of roads, bridges, and rail lines Devastating the Iranian people will not achieve victory. The United States has proven to the civilians that they are the Great Satan by our actions throughout this war. You cannot claim to “care” about the Iranian people and then willingly choose to incur immense suffering upon them with no likelihood of toppling the regime.

@Melody210528674 @rankintweets @fobytoxjp “Game changer” lmao get a grip

@rankintweets @fobytoxjp Ngl I got my ex one and finally got myself one and it’s a game changer

Every 3 years a new water bottle brand completely oneshots middle class white women like clockwork

@DellAnnaLuca I went to tech school for IT. 8k/year. 4 gen ed classes. The rest was networking, operating systems, database, intro to coding - you name it, long as it was related to IT. I outcompeted 2 other university compsci interns for my first job. University is a scam

While I studied automotive engineering, I was never taught how to change a battery or perform any other basic car maintenance. Apparently, practical skills were so far outside the university’s scope that not even the electives covered them. Unthinkable to let a mechanic with a practical job teach a class. Instead, our possible electives included everything from constitutional law to the history of sexuality (at the university where I did the Erasmus), but nothing remotely practical. Despite all their professed care to produce "well-rounded individuals," universities seem to have an extremely narrow idea of well-roundedness. (thoughts prompted by a car breakdown last night.)

@InsculpoW @WestsideLAGuy Because we all know it wasn’t Obama’s policies? Modern republicans can at least outline a set of coherent policy proposals that will help young men. TX, FL, TN are a forward-looking indicators for republican policy. CA, NY, IL are the Democrat indicators. Pick your poison.

@WestsideLAGuy You actually thought people would be receptive to a nuanced view of Obama? They're too busy being hyperpartisan cult fascists for that if you haven't noticed.

Conservatives will hate hearing this but at this point I think it's indisputable that life for young Americans was better during Obama's second term than in Trump's second term. Note that this is NOT an endorsement of Obama's policies but rather a commentary on the different times. During Obama's second term, we had a recovering economy, fairly good job market for young Americans, AI was not a thing, fewer migrants. Due to ZIRP, urban living was cheap; high growth consumer companies such as Uber were able to give massive discounts due to cheap capital. Everything was simply more affordable. Although social media was around during Obama's second term, they were still in the nascent phase of their evolution. IG was mainly a photo sharing app (pics were low quality!). Social media had not yet oversaturated every aspect of our sphere; life felt more organic, natural, unchoreographed. And of course, dating was WAY better. The apps were the wild west, with insane arbitrage opportunity for men. Gen Z kids have no idea how good apps were for guys during Obama's second term. Male-female interactions overall were less adversarial, more trusting, more fun. Simply put, life for young Americans was just better during Obama's second term, a reality that conservatives are in denial about. Trump is governing as a cringe neocon boomer obsessed with the Middle East and giveaways to his fellow geriatrics. He and the GOP are totally out of sync with the frustrations of the young, especially young men. Trump's failure to address these issues is a major reason why socialism is on the rise and also why the Right is seeing growth of cringe factions such as Groypers. Conservatives cannot forge a durable coalition that extends beyond Trump if they don't make a bet on our future. Give young American men something to fight for, to strive for.

@DissentFu I’m sitting outside my front porch and the birds are deafening. You guys are living in concrete jungles and it’s obviously unhealthy. The exurbs are gonna explode in popularity over the next 50 years, especially with drone delivery and FSD. City cores are dead

Listen to what they have taken from us. This is what the world is supposed to sound like. Your children wont hear this at all.

@SprintPlanner lol I fucking WISH I had nothing to do. Are you kidding me? Literally nobody in tech right now feels any less busy with AI. It just accelerated expectations.

I have a very bad feeling about this job market and economy. Like.. in 5 years, no one in the U.S. will have a "job" Everyone I talk to lately has "nothing to do" at work... which means there is no economic value being created. We are all living in a Ponzi scheme.

@baesapr0cky @abbiperets @mountainwesttax Can you explain more the benefits around PCOS? My wife suffers a lot from this. Please

@abbiperets @mountainwesttax Abbi I second this. I started Reta in November at a super low dose, and now I don’t obsessed over my macros, I move intuitively and I’m healthier and more fit than ever. It helps so much with inflammation and PCOS too.

2/3rds of my meals are Greek yogurt, I walk 10k+ steps a day, joined a $10/month gym to do 90 pound barbell squats, and the scale hasn’t budged one pound. At night I watch my husband polish off ice cream while keeping his visible abs

@BarbeloPleroma @abbiperets @mountainwesttax Facts. Reta is the truth. Go for a half dose at 1mg and everything is easy, basically zero side effects

@abbiperets @mountainwesttax Microdosing a peptide and have had incredible upsides and not a single downside of any kind

@natebjones The windows ecosystem is powerul and open. The Apple ecosystem is constrained but coherent. One is much more conducive to AI. The iPhone should be the flagship of applied AI for the consumer and it’s a huge miss that Siri sucks so bad.

I don’t think most people want an AI assistant that feels like a new app. They want their existing computer to stop being so dumb. Find the thing. Watch the page. Fix the password. Build the shortcut. Pull the context. Remind me at the right time. That is a much more Apple-shaped AI problem.

@nerfbatplz @bscholl Iran did NOT shoot down an f35, you are either misinformed or lying on purpose for some deranged reason. Get help

@bscholl Iran shot down an F35 with homebrew AD and Israel’s missile defense was thoroughly defeated by Iran as well. This is a hilarious opinion.

Lessons from Iran and Ukraine: 1/ US and Israeli air defense systems are the only ones that actually work. Chinese and Russian systems can’t handle the F-35 or even a drone. 2/ They are also vastly too expensive and unproducable. The enemy need only outlast our stockpile.

@BasilEsq_ @zaphod58 @bscholl Correct, there is plenty of evidence that Iran had modern scale AA from China, and the effectiveness of that tech is… self evident

@zaphod58 @bscholl Iran does not have access to any recent generation Chinese air defense technology. They are not even at the level of access of Pakistan, who themselves don’t have the current generation.

@sambam_at @bscholl Lmao “demolished” it’s amazing the retardation people volunteer on this app. Just shut up and maybe take a remedial English class

@bscholl You must have missed all the US bases that got demolished by Iranian drones and ballistic missiles. You must also have missed all the gulf states (with Americans air defense weapons) that got decimated by Iranian loitering drones. You don’t need to lie to make the point.

@esrtweet IC’s are often bad at delegating by design (they do the work. Not tell others) and have trouble specifying tasks in detail (they do a lot of this interpretation internally). Thus, not efficient, not accurate and “waste of tokens”.

This is a certain kind of talk around LLMs that I find increasingly puzzling. That is all of the people bitching that LLMs constantly generate crap code and hallucinate solutions, and are worthless for programming. This has almost never happened to me, and never during the last two model generations I have used (chat GPT 5.4 and 5.5). Occasionally a model used to get a little deranged when I pushed its context limit, but under codex that doesn't happen anymore; instead I got a red-highlighted warning when the limit has been exceeded and I need to clear my session. I've applied AI to feature changes, refactoring, and debugging over 63 different projects written in C, Go, Rust, Python, and shell. I've written documentation with it. I've decompiled a DOS binary into readable source code. It's now routine that whenever I have to touch one of my projects I start by running the regression tests, then fire up codex and asking it to audit the code for bugs and suggest improvements. My experience is that LLMs are excellent and tremendously empowering tools. Their worst limitation is a kind of architectural tunnel vision - they're extremely good at generating code to specification but sometimes blind to higher-level patterns. Which is okay, it's my meatbrain job to be good at that. The most valuable thing I find about LLMs is exactly that they *don't* screw up details and edge cases. I'm a very, very good coder by human standards (I'd better be, with 50 years of experience!) but the LLMs are better than me. Because if a code change needs to touch (say) five places in the code, they reliably find all five rather than doing the human thing of fixing four and then having to debug for hours before you figure out that there's a fifth one you missed. Are the downshouters living in a different universe than me? Are they using old, weak models? Or do they have some kind of skill issue that I can't see because I have mental habits and communication skills that are a good fit for the handles on these tools? I don't know. And I think this is an important thing to figure out, because I'm seeing lots of stories in the news that suggest billions of dollars are being wasted on misdirected token spend. It all seems very simple to me. Be clear in your thinking, tell the model what you want with precision, and good things happen. What...what am I missing here?

@micsolana My company is starting a matching benefit for these accounts. So my newborn got 1k from treasury, 1k from employer, 1k from me, and 1k from each of her grandparents for the 5k max. Thats it, now she’s set, even if we contribute nothing else. It’s this easy and it juices markets

the trump accounts are not just an extremely cool 'nice to have,' but potentially the answer to the boomer's social security ponzi. I really hope democrats can abandon the TDS for however long it takes to educate their true believers about this opportunity.
