@signulll Strategic forgetting is just the process of abstraction. Too much memory hampers pattern recognition. Read Borges’ “Funes, His Memory”.

this post cuts to something i’ve been personally thinking & posting about a lot which is how the human mind’s forgetting machinery is underrated as a design primitive. in our first product we’ve built our memory model around a specific decay factor influenced by multiple variables.. each memory degrades by default unless actively reinforced. this relies on a combination of recency, retrieval frequency, & contextual reactivation. this ain’t perfect any means. but it’s annoying af that current llm memory implementations essentially treat every retrieved fact as equally alive. that’s likely not how cognition works. idk if our approach is the final answer but i’m increasingly convinced the forgetting curve is as important as the learning curve. & the right memory model may be way more about what you let go than what you store.

@svpino So how did you respond to his challenge?

Last year, I met a person who has never written a single line of code in his life, yet he feels he can build anything he wants. He told me point-blank: "I challenge you to tell me something I can't build using AI." I tried to explain, but I couldn't find the right words. The most fascinating aspect of vibe-coding is how it has convinced so many people to believe they are better and more capable than they really are.

@NordicNo9 No

Enzo Fernández is expected to leave Chelsea this summer. Man City fans, would you take Enzo Fernández at City?

@thdxr How will they hawk their newsletter or online course tho?

please shut the fuck up i don't even care about the specific thing you're saying i'm just so tired of hearing predictions one after the other telling me what the future is going to be like just please shut the fuck up

@JeremiahDJohns @maiamindel The ruin was the point. Also they needed data

Just a reminder that DOGE failed at every possible level: * At the micro level, they misread, misled and straight up lied about many of the 'savings'. They'd announce '500m saved!' and it would be some contract where the money was 98% already spent and already wasn't being renewed. * At the macro level, they didn't impact spending at all. The government spent more in 2025 than 2024. * At the institutional level, they didn't even convince the GOP that deficits are a problem worth caring about. The GOP only signature bill in 2025 exploded the deficit by trillions of dollars. * At a personal level, Elon got run out of town with his tail between his legs. The most notable public facts about the Cracked Coders are that one of them was a mini-Hitler, one was called 'big balls', and none of them bothered to learn how the government actually works before they set it on fire. They gutted a bunch of important institutions, fired whole departments at random, decimated medical research funding, killed millions of people dependent on USAID, and still failed at every possible level.

@reallouiehuey @VladTheInflator All 3

Donald Trump is either retarded, comprimised or a liar.

@tancredipalmeri How’s it a duel when it’s 2v1? Also, game-state matters: Cherki is winning 2-0 at this point and can be content to keep the ball.

If you think that in this duel Cherki-Calafiori it is Calafiori who lost, I’m sorry you don’t understand absolutely nothing about football

@Simon_Ingari Yeah HR would never do this

Manager: We need to terminate Simon immediately. HR Manager: Wow, that’s serious. What happened? Manager: I discovered he is using a mouse mover. HR Manager: A mouse mover? Manager: Yes, it keeps his status “available” when he’s not at his computer working. HR Manager: Okay. Is his work getting done? Manager: Oh yeah, but that’s not the point. HR Manager: Is he meeting deadlines? Manager: Yes. HR Manager: Any performance concerns? Manager: No. HR Manager: So what exactly is the issue? Manager: His status is available when he’s not actively at his desk working. HR Manager: How do you know he’s not working when his status is available? Manager: I messaged him one day last week when he was active, and it took him 35 minutes to reply. HR Manager: Okay, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s using a mouse mover. He could have been working on something else and not seen the message. Manager: Well, after that incident, I asked IT to look into it, and they confirmed he’s using one. Now I track his status throughout the day, and he’s always available. HR Manager: You track his status all day? Manager: Yes, I check it every 10 to 15 minutes. HR Manager: But his work is getting done? Manager: Yes, but the mouse mover is dishonest. HR Manager: And monitoring an employee’s status all day is what exactly? Manager: Good management. HR Manager: Let me get this straight. He completes his work, he meets deadlines, and your problem is that he’s using a mouse mover? Manager: Yes. HR Manager: I don’t think the issue here is the mouse mover. I think the issue here is the mouse watcher. (The manager walks out of the HR office disappointed.)

@ripplebrain Yeah WHAT is this? Is it just mass cynicism and submission to futility?

I've noticed a pattern over the last few years in financial markets, tech, and diplomacy where everyone seems to understand they're being lied to, massive scams are more or less out in the open, but each individual thinks they're one step ahead of all the other gullible rubes, so it's ok. Who is this ruse for, if everyone knows it's a ruse? The idea seems to be that we'll collectively accept the can being kicked down the road, we'll assure ourselves that there is some plan, but we'll do this by openly lying to each other and ourselves. It's a kind of willful mass delusion. Somehow everyone else will left holding the bag, we seem to think. Just choose to believe the lie, play pretend, act like you're in on it. Even though the "it" here makes no sense and no one truly believes in it. Grift and deception have become an overt and central tendency of the culture.

@pepstrickyblues Doku created nothing this game. He seemed scared to take on Ben White for pace, which is absurd. He could have rinsed Ben White

@pepstrickyblues He looked so bad today

Why does Doku never cut inside and shoot?

@Oghener0 He messed up a few times in the first 15 min

Didn't put a single foot wrong today, unc still got it.

@InvertTheWing Shaky start but he recovered well

Nathan Ake, by the way? Can we talk about this mammoth performance? Treble season Ake. Completely neutralised Arsenal's forward line today, after being thrown straight into the deep end after very little minutes throughout the season. A true professional.

@InvertTheWing Haaland sucks in the air. Always has.

How many perfect crosses have Doku and Semenyo put in since January that Haaland's just got nowhere near the end of?

what is it called when you can't take it anymore but you keep taking it

@InvertTheWing His end product still needs work

Jeremy Doku should be Manchester City’s cornerstone player. Has all the tools to be the best in the world in around 2 seasons time. Already elite at most aspects of the game, other than off the ball runs and getting into good shooting positioning. Rewatching The Madrid game, genuinely a level above everyone. Unpredictable in the sense that he can go either way, use both feet, play interior or outside, and has gotten much more consistent with his final ball.

@kristenrudd Strap in

About to start Blood Meridian for the first time. Give me all your best advice.

@otf_rich_bwoy False, he doesn’t play nearly as direct as doku

The hate towards Savinho from some fans is honestly wild. He’s one of the few players who actually plays direct, takes risks, and isn’t afraid to take defenders on. Yes, it won’t always come off😔but that’s the nature of his game. That kind of fearlessness is exactly what we need right now. Give him more minutes and let him grow.

@ItsLB_City Uhhh false. Foden is not as good as who has replaced him.

I have literally no idea what's going on, but we miss Foden so much. His ability to score goals, dictate play and do something out of nothing is greatly needed in this City team. Who knows what's going on with him, but I hope next season he can be back to his best.
