@BullandBaird @Explicatur1 the math is mathing

Imagine the math required to make this guess and aim 4 people at a point in space

@kalashvasaniya that everything but simple to do properly

an api that just converts pdf to text nothing else is doing seven figures

@SavannahFeder The marketing hire was always optional if the product is good.

Today, we're releasing Claude Code for marketing. It does a marketer's work in minutes by browsing, clicking, and posting like a human would. The marketing hire is now optional:

@deux_ex_max @Meta_Trav all sexual selection is natural selection but not all natural selection is sexual selection. its not hard to understand

@Meta_Trav You apparently do not know the difference between natural selection and sexual selection.

Women being attracted to only 5% of men is the most important dynamic in human existence. This is why you have insane dexterity in your hands to write and why you can comprehend the arrangement of pixels on this screen. Take video games as an example. Imagine women were attracted to the top 5% of League of Legends players. The whole world stops at certain points per year, males engage in League battles, and females wait to see who won and mate with them. Imagine the insanity of that. Now imagine this male vs male League contest went on for 1000s of years, roughly the same game, each year only 5% of males reproducing (20-40% in reality but just for demonstration purposes). What happens with their offspring? All the movements, cognitive patterns, and behaviours related to winning League get selected for. When these winners reproduce with their more focused genes, those genes have natural bell curve variance. That one amazing dextrous gene controlling mouse movement had a slight variation of being 2% better in one super kid. That super kid wins and breeds with other offspring of winners. That slight variation gets instantiated in the gene pool. LIFTING the difficulty hurdle to win games vs the incumbent genes. See what's happening? Male contests select for winners, winners interbreed with normal variation, those offspring reproduce and win the next contests, creating a constantly escalating ratchet that improves the underlying genetic traits. This is why your shoulders are the way they are: 100s of 1000s of years of spear throwing contests. Your hands have extreme dexterity to type on a keyboard: 100s of 1000s of years of stone tool crafting tournaments. You can speak actual words and sing melodies: 100s of 1000s of years of bird-song contests. Females mating with the winners. The winners reproducing. Variation escalating certain traits. Future contests capturing slight variations and instantiating them permanently in the gene pool. Homo sapiens have been incrementally evolved by male-male TOURNAMENTS that source up genes and female HYPERGAMY that selects genes and makes future contests more difficult. This is the system that made everything you are.

Have you ever read a book by an author that was so good it made you want to read everything else they've written?

@systematicls amazing read and analysis - thank you one must imagine Sisyphus happy

@Cartidise screw your carbon footprint. money does not exist. use as much energy as possible.

“ChatGPT is the next Google” yeah no Average cost of one Google search vs. a ChatGPT interaction ChatGPT also leaves 20X to 30X more carbon footprint

@immasiddx STOP GOOGLING THINGS YOU CAN FIND IN AN ENCYCLOPEDIA

STOP ASKING CHATGPT THINGS YOU CAN GOOGLE. STOP ASKING CHATGPT THINGS YOU CAN GOOGLE. STOP ASKING CHATGPT THINGS YOU CAN GOOGLE. STOP ASKING CHATGPT THINGS YOU CAN GOOGLE. STOP ASKING CHATGPT THINGS YOU CAN GOOGLE. STOP ASKING CHATGPT THINGS YOU CAN GOOGLE.

@snrgoodman i.e., exempli gratia

How on earth does "e.g" stand for "for example

@chrisgpt somebody always knows something

@mitsuhiko I always wonder if its division today is mostly the result of its history. Centuries of fragmentation, brief attempts at centralization, then major wars in an endless cycle with lasting scars between states.

The unfortunate reality is that Europe is too divided internally to become a strong power. It is more likely crumble into pieces and be crushed by the US, Russia and China than to transform into a United States of Europe or a similar large political block.

@bajpaiharsh244 Signal is the one of the most important primitive for Humanity, for free and encrypted communication. ...that runs on AWS as we know since the last outage

Did my bit! Signal is the one of the most important primitive for Humanity, for free and encrypted communication.

@WindowsLatest Shell:startup this looks hilarious coming from unix-like

This is the 'modern' Windows Run with Fluent Design on Windows 11, coming soon. It won't replace the legacy 'Run' dialog... at least for now. New Windows Run will be an optional UI upgrade, and it might also get new features at some point. Modern Windows Run is based on WinUI, which also powers other modern areas in Windows 11, such as File Explorer...

Night City wasn't there for its inhabitants, but as a deliberately unsupervised playground for technology itself.

@TheAhmadOsman how exactly should my lame ass consumer GPU comptete against those behemoth models?

DANGEROUS STUFF > over 20 million ChatGPT conversations > are now evidence... a judge just ordered > OpenAI to hand them over in a lawsuit if anything ever screamed > Buy a GPU > run your AI locally > protect your damn data it’s this right here

@haydenzadams Where did the "wE aRe StIlL eArLy" crowd go?

An estimated 55m people in the US hold crypto This would make crypto holders larger in number than - dog owner households - adults that attend church regularly - public school students - immigrants - gym members - people living in poverty - renter households

@CantEverDie I don't understand, these markets are insanely accurate. Way better than undersized surveys with no incentive to say what you really think. Just because some people use them to gamble away their money does not make them less useful.

we actually just live in hell

@pelagiusreborn -aura

He's about to lose his entire fanbase

I feel like the status quo bias that kept people on ChatGPT is slowly weakening. Rolling out ads will only accelerate that.

@glittergluegutz @grok what happens?

what happens if you take both estrogen and testosterone
