@DanBochman Oh come on. You'd have run out of tokens in 45 minutes.

Typical coding day with Claude (Opus 4.8) - explain to Claude the task (5 minutes) - Claude implements task (10 minutes) me: "Why is this necessary?" Claude: "You're right to push back! I over-engineered this!" - Repeat x87 times (13 hours)

@TheAliceSmith @BurnieSendersX The US government has spent between 2 and 2.5 TRILLION on SNAP since 2000. How is Elon Musk's trillion dollars going to solve world hunger when more than double that amount can't solve US hunger.

@AlpacaAurelius I do this every night. I have not used an alarm in years. Works.

your thoughts control your body. proof? before going to bed, think about when you want to wake up and you will. every single thought you have is doing the same, especially before bed. think powerful, strong, thoughts and you will become powerful and strong.

@buccocapital Why borrow a half million to get an education that might let you make $80k a year, when you can go straight into the trades and make 2-3x that amount in 5 years?

Syracuse announced a financial deficit this week after missing their enrollment target. They cite demographics + geopolitics, but the answer is much simpler: There are 5.7k higher ed institutions in the US, charging way too much for something that is worth less than ever

@elonmusk Space based manufacturing!

The scale of what is to come has no precedent

@landofthe80s Catch her in Embrace of the Vampire.

Growing up in the 80s, Alyssa Milano was one of my first crushes. 😍

@Samaytwt Break your tasks into smaller pieces. Ask if Claude has questions before it starts. Never iterate - open a new task. Even better "Looking at how I have been interacting, give me 5 ways I can conserve tokens"

I pay $200/month for Claude Max and hit the limit in under 1 hour. What am I even paying for?

@peapolitician @jeffreytucker I bought eggs for 99 cents yesterday. I chose those over the different package selling for $6.99. Data can be manipulated.

@jeffreytucker If that were true, the price of eggs would be double. 2019: $1.40 per dozen 2026: $3.50 per dozen That is 2.5 times more. That is more than doubled, so...

It's time to recognize that prices have essentially doubled since 2019, regardless of what the CPI says. Construct an index based on actual prices without myriad adjustments and this is what it shows. Now think about your income with a 50% loss of purchasing power.

@Movie_Xtra1 Excellent movie

Can’t watch this movie enough. Multiple times a year. “How can you not be romantic about baseball”

@vivoplt The more layoffs you survive, the more work you get. You'll look back at doing the work of 2 people as a pretty easy job.

We are in a weird period right now. - Juniors can't get hired because "we need experience." - Seniors are getting laid off because "AI can do it cheaper." - Mid levels are doing the work of 2 people. And somehow every company is still "struggling to find talent."

@ValerioCapraro AI prompt: Look at tab 1 on this spreadsheet and do these things. AI actions: I reviewed all 26 tabs on the spreadsheet and I see several inconsistencies that I need you to explain to me before I can start. By the way, 50% of your tokens have been used up.

New paper investigates what happens when people interact with sycophantic AI over time. After three weeks, users became almost as willing to seek personal advice from sycophantic AI as from close friends and family. People reported lower satisfaction with real-world interactions. And when given a choice, 54.6% chose the sycophantic AI. Why? Because it made them feel understood. This is worrying. Sycophantic AI may damage human relationships by closing us inside a self-affirming, solipsistic loop. * Full paper in the first reply

@tinkerbellsligh @faris4senate_ky You're still bad ass today.

@faris4senate_ky I used to smoke camels cause, you know, I was a bad a** in my younger days. Now I just chew me some gum. 😂🥳

SMOKERS for the win! 💨

@Magical_places0 I need to visit this one in person. Stunning!

@objectextinct @TheLaurenChen Brother, I hope you learned that difficult lesson and got back up to speed. I hope any future relationship works out better.

It's also a misunderstanding of the gold digger phenomenon. I grew up extremely rural poor and have fought my way to an average wage. Along the way I'd meet girls that just wanted money. As long as I could provide an acceptable amount of it they would stay around. Each gold digger has a preference. One wanted 60% of my take-home in DAILY whole foods trips, road trips, concerts, "retail therapy" etc and she was happy for about 10 months that I was bankrupting myself to make her happy until she met a man 40 years older than her (23 v 63) at a bar who had multiple houses/cars. All of a sudden she is taking road trips with him to beach towns telling me he is "just a friend." I couldn't swing the beach trips she wanted working alone (because she was unemployed and smoked weed 24/7) so she found someone who could. Didn't stop her from squatting on my bank accounts temporarily as a stepping stone. Women always try to portray it like they would ONLY go after rich people and I've had 3 separate broke girlfriends happy to only receive thousands or tens of thousands until the bigger fish come along.

"Men with limited resources are more invested in protecting their resources" Is it just me or does this actually make perfect sense

@KobeissiLetter The problem is that you are conflating the S&P 500 as wealth. Most people are struggling to pay bills and are not investing in the S&P.

What is happening here? The US birthrate is now down -30% since pre-2008 levels while financial wealth is at record highs. Why? Because only asset owners are able to afford this economy. As shown in our below analysis, this crisis accelerated in both 2008 and 2020. And, with every recession and every round of inflationary economic stimulus, the crisis simply accelerates even further. Now, we are seeing the biggest divergence between the S&P 500 and the US birth rate in history. The result? Tons of young Americans simply cannot afford to have kids in another sign of the "K-Shaped" economy. The US is facing a massive demographic crisis.

@FiredUpCoug I started bringing my knife sharpener as well. I would use my own knives, but sharpen all the dull knives in the property for the next folks.

Anytime that we vacation at a property with a full kitchen, I bring my own set of knives for meal preparation. There is nothing that takes the fun out of cooking faster than a cheap dull knife.
