@Real_Ames If the police pull you over and say they don’t want your registration you’re in a lot of trouble lol

Imagine living your whole life thinking you got away with it… only for science to knock on your door 40 years later. DNA doesn’t forget. It doesn’t get tired. It doesn’t care how much time has passed. Cold cases aren’t dead… they’re just waiting. How many more people out there think they’re in the clear? 👀

@Nightlightz2481 @BodycamVideos_ That’s nonsense. They probably would’ve kicked the door down if he had not come out.

@BodycamVideos_ FYI they didn’t have a search warrant because they would’ve knocked down that door. Him going outside the house gave them the ability to arrest. As long as you’re in the house they can’t arrest you under the 4th amendment

@H0twh33l5 @WJMLI24 @unusual_whales Except one of them is an adversarial communist enemy state, right?

@FocusedEntropy @WJMLI24 @unusual_whales All im saying is everyone is doing it. It's not any different than iphones.

Lee Zeldin: Americans should buy whatever vehicle they want.

@unclebobmartin What? They’re crazy. C# was Microsofts attempt to save us from Java. 😆

I'm struck by the number of complaints about my assertion that C# is derivative of Java. I guess people just don't know the history of the language.

@MarioNawfal Why is this gun still being sold?

🇺🇸 Remember Alex Pretti? He was the man fatally shot during a struggle with U.S. border agents after his gun discharged. This is the weapon he was carrying: a Sig Sauer P320, and they are NOTORIOUS for accidental misfires.

@walterkirn Because you’re thinking of it as a brain in a jar and that’s not how we’re using it.

How is it that the LLMs get things wrong constantly, the very simplest things, and make stuff up pretty much nonstop, yet they are said to be hurtling unstoppably toward god-like power -- if they haven't secretly achieved it already? Is this a con job?

@WJMLI24 @unusual_whales This is beyond the scope of you to understand apparently

@FocusedEntropy @unusual_whales Furthermore, they can spend countless hours watching my in car videos of sitting in traffic jams. I’m sure they will be able to steal some national security, like how NOT to make a highway. Do you know how Tesla trained FSD? Uploaded video footage of their owners driving.

@WJMLI24 @unusual_whales The Chinese communist party is an adversarial nation is subsidizing vehicles for economic warfare, plus filling them with data collection devices. Yeah it’s fucking different. If you don’t understand that then I can’t help you.

@FocusedEntropy @unusual_whales So you can have German, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Vietnamese (Vinfast), Buicks (yes, some of those are made in China), Volvos (owned by a Chinese car company), Jeep (owned by Europeans, many Jeep Wranglers have Italian engines and parts), Mexican, etc. cars driving around?

@kogarashiiiiii @unusual_whales The communist are subsidizing those vehicles as an economic weapon. There’s no way that a capitalist nation should ever have to compete with a communist regime like that.

@FocusedEntropy @unusual_whales I just wish we could at least compete with them a little bit

@H0twh33l5 @WJMLI24 @unusual_whales So you’re suggesting communists collecting our data is exactly the same thing? You’re suggesting that it’s OK to let an adversarial nation come in and do that sort of thing just because our own government is doing it?

@FocusedEntropy @WJMLI24 @unusual_whales American cars are doing the same thing. Everything we do is being collected.

@simonbrown Because LLMs are writing the specs

Spec-driven development makes very little sense to me. The software development industry has repeatedly shown that devs don't like writing docs, often saying "it's tedious and time-consuming; I'd rather be coding". - How will this turn out to be different? - Why automate the fun part (coding) and force devs to write docs instead? developer.microsoft.com/blog/spec-driv…

@WJMLI24 @unusual_whales It’s a national security issue. We can’t have Chinese cars driving around collecting data and doing who knows what

@unusual_whales I’d like to buy a Chinese EV. After buying two Teslas (unless it’s a fun manual transmission, or I need to tow), I’m not interested in gas cars, the Teslas are that good and cost ~$5 to fuel. However, I hear the Chinese EVs are even better, go further, cheaper, charge faster.

@kogarashiiiiii @unusual_whales Move to China

@unusual_whales What if the vehicle I want is a BYD?

@unusual_whales Isn’t it more damaging to the environment to build a bunch of vehicles Nobody wants?

@owen_venter The new flow is cognitive streaming

Programming used to put me into FLOW state often. That’s a big part of why I fell in love with it. Late night missions building games, apps, whatever, it felt great. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a great quote on this: “The best moments in our lives… occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult or worthwhile.” AI has kind of nuked the personal challenge part of that. I don’t fall into those same FLOW states nearly as often anymore. It’s a strange position to be in because I’m undeniably more productive, but some of the joy is gone. I still love building software, but now the enjoyment comes more from seeing products come to life and have real-world impact than from the actual process of writing the code. I’ll miss the deep flow states that came from fighting code for hours into the night, but I feel like I do need to find new areas that still offer that same sense of challenge.

@_Dan_Castell F1 fans are not motorsports fans

Was this idea of reaching F1 fans in other parts of the US really worth it? Because the fact they aren’t coming for F2 is saying to me that the majority of people attending aren’t racing fans, they’re people who just want to be SEEN at a Grand Prix

@g20enigma @EbbTide717 @VegasSportsTD @MikeDixon_VST Hes more concerned about people like you

@EbbTide717 @VegasSportsTD @MikeDixon_VST Trump be looking like a dumbass right now and supporting him or anything can be perceived as support is not a good look

“As a rookie, I don't think that's a good look. I can't miss practice." Raiders rookie QB Fernando Mendoza on visiting the White House with the Indiana Hoosiers. 🎥: @MikeDixon_VST #RaiderNation | #Raiders

@carsonmcd @halvarflake Yes, exactly. It won’t be a fucking radiator from 1972. But the idea that radiation doesn’t work is fucking retarded and that’s all I hear from people. At least you have a better tank than it’s impossible.

@FocusedEntropy @halvarflake No one does. That’s usually the starting point for new tech, dumbass. It isn’t as simple as *mAKe RaDIaToR*. That was my original point…it is not gonna be just building old radiators. New challenges need to be met with new solutions. Hope your feelings can handle that.

Ok can someone explain to me how the physics of getting rid of the heat work out if I can't circulate air or liquids?

@carsonmcd @halvarflake All you’re telling me is that you don’t know how to do it

@FocusedEntropy @halvarflake I gave a very reasonable facts-only no-sass reply to your first post. Never called it impossible or anything. Somehow that managed to hurt your feelings and caused you to lash out. Sorry little buddy.

@carsonmcd @halvarflake well thats unfortunate, I see why this is embarrassing for you

@FocusedEntropy @halvarflake My job is designing radiators for spacecraft. Lol. You’re just gonna sit around like a retard about something you don’t understand in any way whatsoever. OK whatever
