@Liv_Boeree @philthatremains My guys. Theo is a twink drama queen and they said they same shit about GPT2. I’m sure Mythos is a bit better than Opus 4.6, but this is marketing

If you use a phone, a laptop, or anything that uses software at all, watch this.

@obelisktoucher1 @j00ny369T Makes great mulch but is a nightmare if there is any moisture in those leaves

@j00ny369T Worx Leaf Mulcher - same idea, but a dedicated implementation. Mulched leaves to garden or compost pile

Nice trick.

@sovernTranch How does the fiberglass hold up in the sun?

For you poly wire grazers out there I make these in line posts for less than $2 each Fiberglass rebar and rod insulators. Won’t ground out and last forever

@mustache_superb @ericmidwest @robbystarbuck @PineRestGR I was just thinking about the meme magic A24 unwittingly released with that movie

@DadPantsRev @ericmidwest @robbystarbuck @PineRestGR I never thought this image from that movie would speak to me so much and yet here we are

My Tesla has been getting vandalized in Grandville Michigan over and over again. Today I caught them. Truly possessed people. They work for @PineRestGR

@RealDonKeith Wait until he tangles with the version of that who squats 1.3k lbs. I’ve met them. They look just as fat as the next, but just a bit less jiggle.

Big does not mean bad. Sometimes morbidly obese people perceive their weakness to be a strength and it takes something like this to remind them not to throw their weight around.

@ericmidwest @robbystarbuck @PineRestGR What kind of Christian?

@robbystarbuck @PineRestGR They work for a Christian mental health, organization.

@RonanFarrow @NewYorker @andrewmarantz I mean, thank you for writing the article and lord knows there’s people who need to read it. But anyone who couldn’t recognize the sociopathy in Sam in about 30 seconds has bigger problems.

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people. OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted? A thread on some of of our findings:

@narmacnetworth You mean the same 3 years the stock increased 100% because behind the scenes Zuck quietly turned on the free cash flow spigot? What was it Peter Thiel said about why tech mega companies do these side quests?

Zuck has been an absolute disaster of a leader past few years -metaverse (massive miss) -ai (early but massive miss) -scale aquihire (massive miss) Speaking to some senior folks at the co it seems everyone (directors alike) are genuinely worried abt their jobs and what’s next due to massive swings in priority and horrible WLB with no direction Not kidding, it’s time for meta to have a real conversation about a CEO who can operate. Zuck is missing the Mark pun intended.

@Morlouda @tyleraloevera There’s millennia of baggage there. Folks from the lower castes also tend to claim to be Christians more often than the upper castes. Can’t say I blame them, but I’m damn sure not willing to sell out my children’s future for their history.

@DadPantsRev @tyleraloevera This is the problem. VP of Engineering is Indian. He hires Directors and Managers who are Indian. They hire engineers who are Indian. Only becaue they are Indian and will be subservient. The caste system is real. Talk about “No Kings”, that is the Indian engineering VP

I Exposed Texas' Indian Invasion...

@NonCIA_Enjoyer @tyleraloevera We’re done mistaking your friendly submissive mannerisms for good intent

@tyleraloevera you are so disrespectful in the way you speak to some of the indian people in the video . you come off as immature and racist . most of them treat you with much respect and you just seem off / racist and disingenuous

@MariaPIreland @bobdishy Time to update the lyrics again? youtu.be/4Sje2VYw99A?si…

And so it begins......

@jamesallanbrown @ryanlpeterman @EthanEvansVP Meh, there’s different ways of playing it. The influx of Indians in leadership has made it 10X more toxic and counterproductive

The part most people get wrong about corporate politics — it's not a game you choose to play. It's the terrain. Ignoring it doesn't make you above it, it makes you unroped on a glacier. The leaders who navigate it well aren't playing politics, they're reading the mountain and choosing their line deliberately.

I don't think you'll be able to find a conversation like this one on the internet. I interviewed @EthanEvansVP (former Amazon VP) about every possible corporate politics situation I could think of and he told me everything since he's retired. Topics we covered: • Managing people out + promos via reorgs • Orgs trying to steal scope • How to fire managers • What leverage engineers have when getting managed out • Handling politically skilled operators • Examples of political messaging • Handling bad managers and mutiny • Empire building + effective backchanneling • Influence without authority • How to avoid politics if you hate them It was fascinating in a morbid curiosity kind of way. I heard so many things in this conversation which I wish weren't true but are. Hopefully this conversation is helpful for people navigating corporate politics.

@Careerflex I’ve always just opened them up and removed / drilled the restrictors

A trick to bypass the nanny state regulations on water pressure is to switch your incoming cold and hot water hoses. Especially on shower valves, the hot water side is machined to retard water flow. While many people on this platform prefer to be retarded, freemen do not. You can up your water pressure by 20 or 30% on the hotside by switching the water lines. Life is for living, and sometimes that means you have to thwart bureaucratic karens.

@FalconryFinance I’m just gobsmacked that there’s a realtor who gives a shit. And he hired referred the client to an inspector who gives a shit too? That’s a rare gem.

I'm not smart enough to own a home

@SouthernMB82 Landed Southerners better wake up. You sold your pappy’s 100 acre farm to developers for $2M and think you’re rich now. Then you elected those same developers to government. Keep taking those destination vacations and buying SUVs and that $2M will be gone by retirement.

*Cries in Southerner*

@yearncel Safety?

If you leave it close by on your desk chambered with the safety off you train your mental fortitude exponentially and if not you can just end it in a really quick motion without much time to think about texting your friends or family

@Aarvoll_ That’s awesome. You can expect it to be a bit nitrogen starved for the first year or two, but it will give you great years after that, once the bacterial decomposition has settled down.

Just finished our new hügelkultur garden bed, planting soon

@supertrucker IDFK how people just linger while overlapping semis. I’ve seen what they can do to a passenger vehicle. I’m waiting until I have an exit

Two wrongs making an even bigger, worse wrong. 1. If you’re going to pass a semi, do so with authority, don’t just creep along side them. Lots can go wrong. 2. Driver, mirrors exist. Use them.

@SueYourSoul @tomskis1_ @IntCyberDigest It’s cute that you still believe in pretraining improvements. And what exactly so you think that GRPO is optimizing for???

@DadPantsRev @tomskis1_ @IntCyberDigest Recent LLM gains (incl. Claude) come from pre-training (better data/scale), mid-training, and diverse post-training (RL variants like RLVR/GRPO, reasoning, long context) not just tool-calling fine-tuning.

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Anthropic has decided to open source their entire codebase and is rebranding their AI to OpenClaude. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said: "Yesterday was no slip-up. If we disappear just like OpenAI is vanishing right now, our code can live on through the community."
