Bro I was shimming NMRs and solving for Hamiltonians in college. You can’t bullshit me with jargon.

@dieworkwear @KristyT All the really smart moderates were explaining this type of thing that beff is so surprised by was exactly the type of policy this admin supported, but they were just clueless sheep following whatever their tech idols said
English
I used to laugh at the right when they got all huffy and called Democrats radical socialists for wanting bike lanes or slightly better healthcare or whatever.
Now they've actually become the thing the right thought they used to be, so they ended up accidentally being correct.

Trump is a master at playing politically clueless tech clowns like a fiddle
Deva Hazarika@devahaz
I’ll believe this the first time Trump mentions giving Chinese and Indian graduates automatic green cards at a rally or as part of any official campaign policy platform. Much more likely he backs away from this statement soon.

The tech oligarchs will call Trump and get him to walk back some of this new green card policy and the techbro posters having a moment of revelation regarding what this admin stands for will get right back in line like the good little sheep they are

@ElvisElven @cwebbonline Brother I don’t know what to say, it’s prima facie so if you can’t see it, I doubt there’s an explanation that will get you there
English
@JeffiniteVC @cwebbonline how is it a federal problem? other places don't have this issue. even places with high drug use.

So let’s get something straight about the unhoused:
California is expected to carry a massive share of America’s homelessness crisis, then gets mocked for struggling under the weight of a problem that clearly extends far beyond Los Angeles.
📌 According to this report, only 36% of L.A.’s street homeless population is originally from the City of Los Angeles itself. Another 38% came from other states.
Meanwhile, politicians across the country slash housing, healthcare, and mental health funding, then point at California and scream “failed blue city.”
This is not just an LA problem. It’s a national crisis.

Oh look, we’re “hurting the wrong people” again

Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

Does it take introspection to understand comparative advantage? Or are we really going to pretend it was some regulatory burden that shifted the *global* supply chain to China?
Mind numbing

Marc Andreessen on the question at the center of data center discourse & why it's so important: "Can you build anything in America anymore? Can you build a factory? Can you build a chip plant? Can you build a power plant? Can you build a refinery? Can you build a pipeline? Can you build housing?" "One of the common themes in American life for the last 30 years is the answer to those questions is generally, no, you can't do any of those things." "Take as an example, Silicon Valley, right? So all the chips are made in Taiwan. Well, 40 years ago, all the chips were made in California." "Can you build things in America? Can you build a factory? Can you build an energy plant? Can you build a data center? Can you build housing?" "And on every single one of those, there's this massive problem which is, right now in many cases, in many places, no you can't." @pmarca with @joerogan

Hasan Piker: “Jeff Bezos is nothing without all the labor that allowed him to become a billionaire. Jeff Bezos was unbelievably and immensely lucky at numerous points in his life. I’m sure he worked hard, but you know who else works hard? A fucking teacher, a nurse. Probably a lot harder than Jeff Bezos ever did”

@ViralManager @gjonesbass @David_Rudnick We were persecuted for making remixes for 20 years… but this is fine???
English
@gjonesbass @David_Rudnick brilliant.
i was also thinking these models are designed around the human "expressing" themselves, so it plays into emotions and a dark loneliness pattern
English
every time i see a new "create a song from a single prompt" kind of product being rolled out i think about these comments from @David_Rudnick

Spotify & UMG announce licensing agreement that allows fans to create AI covers and remixes of songs from participating artists and songwriters. The new feature will be a paid add-on for Premium users which will “open up additional revenue streams” for artists and songwriters.

OK, any other San Franciscans riveted by the Spencer Pratt campaign? he trashed the whole script. now all the actors are looking at each other with, "what the hell do we do now? this isn't the way it's supposed to go!"
Spencer Pratt@spencerpratt
If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

@MartinGTobias there are entire social media accounts built on this concept

I don't "have to" respond to emails.
I get to.
Language creates reality. "Have to" is victim language. Choose your words.

oh yes, please donate your hard-earned $ to Chevron because they don't like California also vote for me for CA Assembly
🤡
Fuck off kid
Dick Lucas 🇺🇸 Running for CA Assembly@dickclucas
Californians, if you're hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to BUY Chevron. Pro trip: their branded signs are educating Californians on the horrible polices from Sacramento driving up your fuel costs.

@msuster the more hurtful shock has come from the silence and inaction of people that "zionists" have stood beside and offered support to during their struggles.

If you're not Jewish you may not know that messages like this are the norm if you publicly & proudly acknowledge your heritage and religion. This is a small fraction. It is what it is, I'm used to it. But in case you didn't know. Sometimes the threats are specific and geographic.

my husband just showed me our newest kitchen gadget, Half A Cutting Board. Half A Cutting Board is perfect for slicing cherry tomatoes AND we now have twice as many cutting boards after putting the cutting board in the dishwasher on high heat

@digitalix I just loaded my cards into apple pay and use my apple watch to pay for stuff. If not for my driver's license and the occasional cash tip, I wouldn't carry a wallet at all!
English
a classic example of engineering a problem where there isn’t one. nobody ever said “hey, instead of a wallet, i’d like to carry around a metal box that will be thick and heavy, scratch anything I put into the same pocket, and I’ll have to take out all my cards in order to find the one I need”. wtf
English
I’ve really really tried this thing for the past 3/4 of a year, and can honestly say that it’s the worst influencer pushed product I’ve ever tried. At least for me who keeps a wallet in my pants pocket.

Ah but the pre-gains are taxable okay knew it couldn’t be this good
