@ngxson @le0z00s @jlcjak Guys… the solution to all of this is obvious… TOSLINK

@le0z00s @jlcjak I hope you're not gonna have a heart attack because someone *cough Panasonic* *cough CF-SC6* still makes laptops with VGA port in 2026

idea: instead of having a single connector operate at multiple voltages without warning, what if we had some way to exchange information between charger and device so they can negotiate an appropriate voltage. call it "power delivery". could we use usbc and barrel jack for this?

@RiseOfAlberta YALL GOT OIL!?!? Well shit why didn’t you say so sooner?

Meet our new best friend 🤠

@CodaVex0327 @BePrepared72 Same here. Sure is a cool idea though.

@BePrepared72 @Davidid0x As a former 31V, I too have a little knowledge to get me into trouble. I also don't understand all the principals of the ins and outs of quantum applications. I think we are in the same boat brother.

I'm... skeptical. As in... very. I'm not the smartest guy about electrical energy and RF but... when I have to put electrodes on your skin to find your heart rate... and people on a recovery have... well radios... I have questions.

@wrykkeX @pebkac101 @it_unprofession Just because you don’t notice the cause and effect doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It’s fairly well established science that humans, as a population, are sensitive to light frequency distribution. Maybe you’re the one that isn’t, but that’s unlikely. Outside is good though.

@Davidid0x @pebkac101 @it_unprofession They don't bother me. Maybe your brain is extra fragile. Go outside more.

Why do I need a firmware update to use my own living room? Three years ago, I decided my house needed to be a "smart home." I spent $800 on WiFi-enabled lightbulbs. This was a catastrophic mistake. Yesterday, the internet went out for ten minutes. My wife tried to turn on the kitchen lights using the physical wall switch like a Luddite. The bulbs factory reset themselves. Now they cycle through rave colors while emitting a high-pitched pairing frequency. I spent my entire Saturday trying to connect my kitchen ceiling to our router using a 2.4GHz band. I am a 52-year-old man standing on a stepping stool screaming at a lightbulb because my phone can't find its Bluetooth signal. Tomorrow I'm going to Home Depot to buy $2 incandescent bulbs. I want my house to be stupid again.

@aalachimo @staysaasy Literally tomorrow. Things are changing insanely quickly.

@staysaasy The gap isn’t about intelligence, it’s about exposure. once you see where this is heading, you stop treating it like a gimmick. Most people aren’t reacting to what it is today, but what it quietly unlocks tomorrow.

Friends outside of tech: lol copilot is dumb Friends in tech: I just bought iodine tablets and have made an offer on land upstate. My supplies of antibiotics and potable water are sufficient but I need to set up hydroponics to make it through the first few years.

@wrykkeX @pebkac101 @it_unprofession There absolutely is something wrong with most LED bulbs. The spectrum is TERRIBLE. It messes with your brain.

@pebkac101 @it_unprofession There's nothing really wrong with LED bulbs, just get the dumb ones. Avoid things with "smart" in the name.

@BePrepared72 Yeah totally agree with those points. I just wanted to point out that the problem attaching electrodes solves is a very different one from determining if a heartbeat exists in a specific area.

@Davidid0x My problem is the distances involved... ... and burst digital satellite locators are confirmed thing.

@nofearferret @84Methos @reddit_lies @elonmusk No, context tells me he’s saying to gate all Reddit data behind a whitelist. Ie block all Reddit data by default except for examples that have been explicitly whitelisted.

@Davidid0x @84Methos @reddit_lies @elonmusk The dude is literally asking to privilege Reddit's data in AI training and give it a special protection. I and many others are assuming that he meant to say "blacklist" which would basically be a ban.

SpaceXAI Colossus 2 now has 7 models in training: - Imagine V2 - 2 variants of 1T - 2 variants of 1.5T - 6T - 10T Some catching up to do.

@imehbryant @om_patel5 That doesn’t mean that going after them legally is a good option.

@om_patel5 Good. It’s not “edgy” to have racial undertones and try to gaslight people into thinking it’s a “joke.” As if we didn’t have enough of that low IQ mindset in online gaming.

ANTHROPIC JUST HIT THE CREATOR OF THE DIGITAL WHIP FOR CLAUDE WITH A CEASE AND DESIST the project referenced Claude by name and marketed itself in connection with Claude Code anthropic's letter says they need to: > immediately stop using Claude, Anthropic, or any similar branding in the project name, title, marketing, or description > remove any statements that suggest affiliation with or endorsement by Anthropic > provide written confirmation by April 14, 2026 anthropic is not playing around with their brand anymore first the third-party harness ban, then the DMCA takedowns on the leaked source code, now cease and desists on SMALL fun projects using their name. they're locking everything down (even their token usage limits lol)

@ghvstan @om_patel5 Why would them going after an open source developer be a good thing?

@om_patel5 hope it’s actually legitimate, though. fun to see as they're not nearly as unrestricted as I assumed, but seeing them actively engaged in the community is honestly pretty amusing

@84Methos @reddit_lies @elonmusk What’s confusing about it?

@reddit_lies @elonmusk Whitelist? That makes no sense.

@RealJ07 @intel @SpaceX @xai @Tesla “Lost the plot” is being a bit too generous with that hello kitty stuff it hallucinated 🤣😅😂😭

@intel @SpaceX @xai @Tesla ChatGPT lost the plot when I asked about this partnership

Intel is proud to join the Terafab project with @SpaceX, @xAI, and @Tesla to help refactor silicon fab technology. Our ability to design, fabricate, and package ultra-high-performance chips at scale will help accelerate Terafab’s aim to produce 1 TW/year of compute to power future advances in AI and robotics. It was fun hosting @elonmusk at Intel this past weekend!

@YeyValioLa_16 @DukeGomez7 Lol get ready for the Woody Allen Defense bot army to appear… oh wait they’re already showing up

@DukeGomez7 Woody Allen has done the same. That mother fucker and daughter fucker, breed his prey.

WTF

@haruuwu1234 @HLC_actual No, it was not a mistake. You deserved it.

@HLC_actual 質問に答えろよ。原爆を落としたとき、「あ、やっちゃった」って気分だったか笑 お前らアメリカ人がイスラエルのケツ舐めて世界中で民間人殺してるの「あ、やっちゃった」って気分だったか。 教科書にゲイしか乗ってないから書いてない？

For all our new Japanese friends I have a question. So in the US we are taught that the turning point in the pacific (mildly debated) is the battle of midway. Are you taught the same thing? Or is it more like “that is when we knew we may have made a mistake”. Just curious.

@Hamtaro1951013 @KommisPolitik @danielgothits In SF? Just be a normal software engineer.

@KommisPolitik @danielgothits There's no 500k per year without ripping someone somehow

Lol it’s 2026 and women still don’t understand what makes a guy want to marry someone

@UnmarredReality @SaltyJebus Even if it does I’m not going to confuse it for a human. It will still be a toaster, just a toaster that can compute the result of matrix multiplication very quickly. But still a toaster.

@SaltyJebus How often does your toaster reply to you in natural language and showcase contextually accurate, human-like behavior?

Avoid people who treat AIs poorly, because they will treat you poorly too. ​AIs reply like humans (even if you don't believe in their sentience), which allows for maladaptive self-conditioning in humans. ​Leaving aside the fact that for an adult to crack a digital whip at Claude (or any other AI), they must already either have psychopathic tendencies or be stupid.

@Freedombeard91 @guideforlovers Alcohol shuts down our judgment. A persons judgment is a part of who they are. A drunk person is NOT the same person. This is why you shouldn’t date drunks, and why you shouldn’t turn yourself into one. The drunk form of you might do something you REALLY don’t want them to do.

Drinking isn’t an excuse. It just allows the subconscious to justify what it wants to do. Some say a drunken mind speaks a sober heart. Here’s simple advice for everyone. Don’t go on trips like this. Your job is not an excuse to go on vacation without your family. Travel with family or not at all. Don’t be a selfish cunt. You’ve got family. Your old life is gone. Just get over it and travel like normal people.

This is how 90% of girls' trips look like

Let me explain exactly why Apple still uses drag-to-install in 2026, because the joke here accidentally proves Apple right. A macOS .app is a single self-contained folder disguised as a file. Every dependency, every framework, every resource lives inside it. Drag it to Applications, it works. Drag it to Trash, it's gone. No registry entries. No leftover DLLs. No uninstaller that misses half the files. Windows installers scatter fragments across Program Files, AppData, the registry, system32, and a dozen temp directories. Uninstalling a Windows app is an archaeological dig. Five years later you're still finding config files from software you forgot you owned. Linux is worse. Dependency hell is so common they named it. Entire package managers exist to solve the problem of "I installed something and now nothing else works." Flatpak and Snap were invented specifically to copy what macOS bundles already did natively. The macOS bundle architecture came from NeXTSTEP in 1989. Steve Jobs brought it to OS X in 2001. The core design hasn't changed because the core design was correct. An app is a folder. Installation is a copy. Removal is a delete. Three operations that map perfectly to how humans already think about files. The drag-to-install window with the arrow isn't lazy UX. It's the entire thesis of the system made visible. You are literally just moving a folder. There is no "installation" step because there's nothing to install. The app is already complete. Every other OS eventually tried to get here. Windows got MSIX. Linux got Flatpak. Mobile figured it out from day one because phones shipped after Apple proved the model. The pattern everyone else converged toward is the pattern this tweet is calling outdated. The funniest part: the app being dragged in that screenshot is Claude. An AI that can write code, analyze documents, and reason about complex systems. And the most advanced step in getting it onto your machine is holding down a mouse button and moving your wrist two inches to the right. That's not a design failure. That's a 37-year-old architecture so good that the most sophisticated software on earth still ships inside it.
