@JakeMarfoglia @dioscuri I think the "liminal" feeling comes from vague, partial memories we have of early childhood.
English
Seriously though, why is there something borderline psychoactive about this specific set of motifs? Why pools? Why no windows? Why the pastel colours? It feels suspiciously like an arbitrary code execution exploit on the human mind.

Most problems in your life already have fairly simple solutions that other people have spent time, money, and energy to figure out.
You just need to apply them.

@shanedavisart @netflix Carano is 44 and has not fought in like 17 years lol, were you expecting a 20 minute slug out?
English
I'm done with Netflix fights. Go fuck yourself @netflix
You go up on the price to blow through over 2 million in 17 seconds.
No woman should be able to make 2 Million in 17 seconds....this is Hoeflation to the max!

@Tom_in_SFCA @Brahmanpathway @walterkirn It does not pass even a basic logic test. Have we ever observed rocks and water turn into life? No. Have we ever observed evolution? No. Then the naturalist will cope with some obscure study of a yeast that changed its sugar profile or something.
English
@Brahmanpathway @walterkirn The real question is did the universe go from having no life in it to having life via purely naturalistic means? The Bible says no. The popular culture says yes. Actual origin of life science agrees with the Bible.
English
I find it conceivable that the evolutionist have more to worry about right now than the evangelicals.

@anthonyspiteri @socialwithaayan The codebase is linked above.

@socialwithaayan Real question is would you trust this?

Someone built a free, open-source CleanMyMac alternative with zero telemetry. And it is fully native SwiftUI.
It's called PureMac. And it does everything CleanMyMac does for the most common cleaning tasks. For $0.
Here is the problem with every existing macOS cleaner:
CleanMyMac: $39.99 per year. Tracks your usage. Sends data home.
MacCleaner Pro: $29.99 one time. Closed source.
DiskDiag: Limited. Not automated.
Every other option: ads, telemetry, or a subscription.
PureMac has none of that.
Here is what it handles:
-> Xcode derived data, archives, and simulators (devs: you know how fast this grows)
-> Homebrew cache that bloats silently over months
-> System caches and logs that macOS never cleans itself
-> Scheduled automatic cleaning. Set it once. Forget it.
Built entirely in native SwiftUI. Menu bar integration. Progress indicators. Dedicated settings and scheduling views. No AppKit hacks. No Electron. A real Mac app.
What you will never find in it:
-> Zero telemetry
-> Zero analytics
-> Zero subscriptions
-> Zero data collection
The developer built this because every available tool either charged money or phoned home. So he built one that does neither.
MIT License. Open Source. Free.

@pipN_ainT_EZ @CXCarroll Yuan is essentially a managed float. Who wants to keep money in that? Also there is no bond market. Also China runs trade surpluses so how do you propose they could become a reserve currency?
English
@CXCarroll You dont mention any of the countries that have stated they are weeks away from running out of oil and how that plays into this.
They are already lining up to buy oil with Chinese Yuan. THIS is the USAs pain point. Losing the petro dollar.
English
I have a decent track record of predicting this conflict so far so here's where I see things going. (quoted tweet is from six months before we hit Fordow in 2025). Short 🧵

@VerminusM @visegrad24 Ukraine helped knock off Assad which in turn forced Russia out of Syria which in turn allowed Israel to turn Syria into a "sterile corridor" for Israel's non-stealth aircraft. Because of that, Israel now has the ability to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.
English
@SirDeBeaujeu @SaysSimulation Dollars will always be in demand. US can print and offload inflation (to a degree) to the petrodollar. Especially since the only consortium trying to dethrone it is currently fighting 2 wars.
English
@SaysSimulation Btw, I have a quite similar question on the capacity of the US to pay for the 1.5 Trillion dollars defense budget, with a debt to GDP above 100%.

Wow! In terms of announced plans, this is super duper impressive. France plans the largest European military buildup in post-WWII history, including a huge new nuclear carrier, a new generation of nuclear missile subs, etc. (read it)
Slight problem. France is already broke.

In case anybody missed it, France is actively preparing for a post Pax Americana world. In the last 6 months: ∙ Aircraft carrier “France Libre”: 80,000-ton nuclear carrier, largest warship ever built in Europe announced, €10-12 billion ∙ Nuclear arsenal expansion: first warhead increase in 30+ years, stockpile size now classified, forward-basing on allied territory authorized ∙ European nuclear umbrella: “forward deterrence” doctrine with 8 partners (Germany, UK, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Denmark) ∙ UK-France nuclear pact: joint strategy consultations, joint submarine patrols, joint R&D since July 2025 ∙ 140 Rafale sold to India: 26 Rafale Marine ($7.5B, April 2025) + 114 Rafale for air force ($39B, cleared January 2026), largest Indian arms deal ever ∙ World’s 2nd largest arms exporter: 9.8% global share (SIPRI, March 2026), up 21%, replacing Russia ∙ Gold repatriation: 129 tonnes sold at the NY Fed, repurchased in Paris, entire 2,437-tonne reserve now in France, €12.8B profit ∙ €36B defense spending increase: budget to reach €64B by 2027, two years ahead of schedule ∙ Strait of Hormuz: leading EU escort mission, 19 of 23 major warships deployed to Mediterranean/Gulf. On April 3, a French-owned CMA CGM vessel became the first Western European ship to transit the strait since Iran closed it ∙ New SSBN “L’Invincible”: next-generation nuclear ballistic missile submarine announced ∙ JEWEL program: sovereign European space-based missile early warning system ∙ ELSA initiative: Franco-British-German long-range conventional strike missile program ∙ SAMP/T NG air defense: next-gen surface-to-air system, Denmark and Ukraine already buyers ∙ 14 EPR2 nuclear reactors planned: largest nuclear construction program in Western Europe ∙ Africa strategy reset: new Africa-France Summit in Nairobi, post-withdrawal from Sahel ∙ 2025 National Strategic Review: new strategic objective on scientific and technological sovereignty (AI, quantum, nuclear propulsion) Ready to lead Europe into a path of independence. Vive la France, vive l’Europe

@JeffCherkassky @JeffCherkassky How is FUSE differentiated from Graphed, Windsor.ai, or the GA4 MCP <> LLM methods? Would be interested in learning more.
English
Google Analytics just dropped their MCP integration.
We tried it.
Here’s what actually happens:
You connect GA4 to an LLM - ask a question - and get a simple data fetch dressed up as useful analysis.
• There's no metric mapping.
• No multi-step computations.
• No cross-channel attribution.
• No data verification layer confirming accuracy.
Just an overly confident interpretation by an LLM that you’re expected to trust - and a high probability of inaccuracy (hallucinations).
MCP setups expose unmapped data and rely on LLMs to answer - but you can't trust the results.
That is not a winning solution for teams, no matter how trendy it is to setup an MCP workflow into an LLM.
Data access isn’t the problem..
Trust is.

@SwipeWright Sometimes you need a very expensive, very elaborate way to play music that sounds like a broken dial-up modem having an existential crisis.

FINALLY (!) a new band an old Primus junkie like me can enjoy. Their rapid growth in popularity since debuting a month ago makes me think the kids will be all right!

If there is a Model S farewell ceremony I could attend, @elonmusk I’d love to be there @Tesla
I was the first ever to cross Canada in a Model S Plaid and first to traverse the very remote Trans-Labrador wilderness Highway in a Tesla, which was also a Model S Plaid.
I am the only person ever to conquer level 3 & 4 offroad courses with my Model S Plaid.
The first Tesla I ever drove was a 2013 Model S P85.
I’ve driven every single trim level and version of the Model S all the way back to the original Signature.
I own two Model S’ and I’ve lived for over 200 days cumulatively in my Model S Plaid.
This is my favourite car of all time and I’d love to see it off…

@oliviscusAI Does it actually respond like a person from the Victorian era or is it just regurgitating phrases from the books. Can you get it to have a coherent conversation about something outside of its training data.
English
Someone just built a literal time machine out of an LLM.
They trained an AI entirely from scratch on 28,000 victorian-era books from the british library (1837-1899). You can literally chat with the collective consciousness of the victorian era.

@GehleeTunes @TomilolaNa53446 @oliviscusAI Well for starters they would not understand any developments in philosophy post 1900, of which there were considerable new undertakings.
English
@TomilolaNa53446 @oliviscusAI what would you hope to find?
is there a source where i can read up on Victorian-era causal logic (other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)?

@arizona1ced @MattMorseTV @DrewPavlou I think we actually agree on that and my original comment was that clear that it was a critique of free trade. I read a summary of Sraffa, I’m not 100% convinced but find it persuasive. I typically find Misesian takes have more explanatory power.

Chinese "professor" Jiang says that the United States should willingly forfeit it's role as the #1 global superpower to China and Russia, to which Tucker Carlson agrees and then blames Israel for preventing that from happening.
Dude, what happened to Tucker?

@JakeMarfoglia Understanding how utility/profits actually work and how they should feed into trade dynamics

@arizona1ced @MattMorseTV @DrewPavlou Free trade means more wealth extraction for US (only nation I care about wealth for). I do not buy the astroturf professors Duganite narrative.
English
@JakeMarfoglia @MattMorseTV @DrewPavlou What are you talking about? Prisoner defection occurs predominantly in free trade systems because the whole point was the leverage game to begin with? The point is making the optimal strategy defection. Every polar system is wealth extraction to someone, literal non sequitur?
English
@arizona1ced I’m familiar with what Bancor is but not the dynamics, this is an interesting line. Any good links/takes?
English
@JakeMarfoglia You just don’t understand bancor mechanisms which is fair, and in context with the video I probably go off tangent, however the critique doesn’t make sense because the current dilemma is that usd hegemony is the exact reason the dilemma exists: Literally the triffin dilemma
English
@arizona1ced @MattMorseTV @DrewPavlou It sounds nice on paper, but it assumes that the prisoners will never defect, which we know is never true. There’s layers of goals, and trade is only one thread. Multipolarity means wealth extraction.
English
@MattMorseTV @DrewPavlou Usd hegemony is naturally corrosive to reshoring because the price pressures that flood across the global market for the rest of the world stack up too hard/keeps offshoring optimal for american capital/profits

@sturgisssteele @heynavtoor Depends on the model but should run fine with 16-24. Some of the smaller models can run on phones now.
English
@heynavtoor Only problem is to use the AI you have to have a computer with 32 GB. I’m working on a project that would fix this.
English
🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down.
It's called Project N.O.M.A.D.
A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses.
No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works.
Here's what's packed inside:
→ A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline)
→ All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable
→ Offline maps of any region you choose
→ Medical references and survival guides
→ Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking
→ Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef
→ Document upload with semantic search (local RAG)
Here's the wildest part:
A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker.
Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free.
One command to install.
