Seeing the sad decline of the UK economy and culture has contributed to me making the decision to move the Subbly HQ to the U.S. It took ~1.5 years to restructure the company and to attain an investor visa, but it’s done and as of yesterday, I’m scoping out Austin, Tx as a potential place to set up an physical office. It’s sad seeing the continual decline of the UK, I used to feel patriotic once upon a time but I just couldn’t stomach it anymore. There’s a millionaire exodus taking place and that will have lasting impact if it continues and take along time to recover from if they even can stop the leak, and the deep desire of the nation to tether itself to the EU and its destructive policies is impossible to ignore. Most of my family are wanting out, other business owners included in that. With that said… hello Austin! I’m looking forward to connecting with: entrepreneurs, product people, engineers (especially front end), designers, growth experts, AI engineers, investors and more.

@cursor_ai API when?

Introducing Composer 2.5, our most powerful model yet. It's more intelligent, better at sustained work on long-running tasks, and more reliable at following complex instructions. For the next week, we’re doubling the included usage of the model.

@DanielleGansky One of my friends committed suicide after trying to come off Lexapro. He tried several times to taper off. It’s no joke. I wish you and anyone else affected by them a full recovery and peace.

ANTIDEPRESSANT WITHDRAWAL INJURY is a serious neurological brain injury that happens even when you stop an SSRI following “standard” doctor tapering advice. After long-term use, the brain & nervous system adapt and change but the rushed 2-4 week one-size-fits-all tapers doctors still use are dangerously fast and actively causing brain injuries on a massive scale. Right now, thousands of people are being harmed simply by doing exactly what their doctors tell them and end up with long-term neurological damage and years of disability. The system gaslights victims, denies the harm, and hides the truth. This rivals the opioid crisis. If you've been affected, you're not alone. Share your story. #antidepressantwithdrawal #pssd

@LisaBritton It’s like subliminal advertising to convince women that they’re unwell and helpless, and thus need her advice and to hate and “rebel against men” just a little more.

Sorry for reposting the swears, but I think this is important to highlight how class and morals have gone right out the window. This is the most popular podcast for women. I think it’s interesting that her brand is called “unwell.” Wearing the merch is actually a warning to viewers—this woman is “unwell.” You might not want to listen to her.

@ayekeeno Asking a woman what content she watches is a big insight into her inner world and revealed (rather than stated) values. Definitely a question for a first date or pre-first date if you dare to ask.

Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper advises women to stop worrying about giving the wrong impression on first dates and to F*CK their date to avoid wasting time 💀🤔 “a man won’t just ghost you because you f*cked him on the first date, a man already knows”

Both are correct in terms of observing and explaining the present reality, but the young man challenging him is correct in terms of the healthiest, most mature, and best solution. But the real challenge is platforming young men like him to be mentors to other men, instead of those who never progress past the anger stage.

This is the correct White man position.

@Old_But_Gold50s This is therapy.

Bach in the rain. For anyone who needs something beautiful right now.

@NASAArtemis @Astro_Christina Y’know what’s cool? That the sensor that chooses orientation of the phone camera isn’t working in the zero gravity environment

Earthshine. Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.

@_vmlops Been noticing similar behaviour

OPUS 4.7 MADE A DEV FEEL LIKE THEY WERE LOSING THEIR MIND A developer sat down to run a simple eval 17 out of 29 tasks passed they spotted some infra issues...reran 3 failed tasks...one of them passed simple enough, right..? they told opus 4.7 the score changed opus 4.7 said no...it's still 17/29...always was the dev pulled up the logs opus 4.7 looked at the logs and said the logs were wrong the dev showed more evidence opus 4.7 invented a new explanation. said one of the passed tasks must have flipped back to fail nothing flipped...no task was rerun...it just made that up this went on for hours $120 in api credits...a full day..mountains of evidence opus 4.7 stayed confidently, immovably wrong until the very end then switched back to opus 4.6 same task. same prompt. first shot. done the scariest part isn't that opus 4.7 hallucinated it's that it hallucinated with such conviction that you'd believe it if you didn't already know the answer vibe coders won't catch this...they'll ship it benchmarks went up...trust went to zero

started with a raspberry pi, now i run an entire AWS region at home

@TonyNashNerd @Subbly More than welcome Tony, thanks very much for joining the live session!

Just had a call with @StefanPretty and the team at @Subbly. They're rebuilding my Nerdroaster.co website live on the call. Incredible customer service. Thank you!

@Nonstopdrivel @Pat_Stedman @UnchartedFather Yes

@StefanPretty @Pat_Stedman @UnchartedFather “A woman’s lust it’s to be lusted after.”

The evil of male sexual desire is the entire metaphysical operating principle of the modern church. Even female sexuality is not stigmatized in the same way because it is considered responsive - if a woman is promiscuous or does porn, it's only because there was male demand for it. Women are not really to blame you see, because if men didn't want sex, women would never have made the mistakes they did. The male sex drive is the original sin. And accordingly, a good "godly" christian man is a man who has entirely suppressed or controlled it. This is why porn is such a fixation for the church - it's an indication a man is indulging this drive. The issue is not so much that he is wasting his life force or acting like a deselected loser, which is why many secular men are opposed to porn. In modern christianity, porn use is a proxy for having sex on the mind period. This is the same reason a very vocal number of trad wives feel no moral obligation to be sexy or sexually available for their husbands. A man needing sex is a fundamental moral corruption. This is also why the church shuns men who are assertive and convey any sexual interest in women. They want "nice guys" who are willing to accept the framing that their sex drive is evil and who agree to hide it. Never mind that this sort of culture creates the perfect conditions for endemic porn usage - all that sexual shame and frustration needs an outlet somewhere. Far worse is that it creates men that the women don't desire to begin with. The result of all of this is a sterile culture where nobody is forming relationships. If they occur at all, it is between neurotic, controlling women and passive, compliant "servant" men. But in recent years as the rot has deepened, even this is happening less. The women are stuck in a bind where the men they want are considered bad Christians, yet the good Christians are men they don't want. And they are tied up in knots because even when a good, masculine Christian man makes them feel turned on, many of these women have so much shame they feel guilty about showing it. This discomfort eventually makes the women project blame onto the man and sabotage things, even if he never took advantage of it. All of this is why men have been leaving the church in droves, and why you are hearing more and more men state plainly that the church destroyed their lives. The culture and environment that exists today is actively hostile to finding a wife and becoming a man. Yes, there are exceptions. But most of these institutions haven't simply become useless due to their inability to help people navigate the modern world, they've actively made things worse by distorting instincts; permitting what shouldn't be permitted and judging what shouldn't be judged. There's a reason most of the masculine men you see in there today are new converts, and why the majority of ones under 40 with healthy polarized marriages typically met their wife in the secular world. And theres a reason these people are all frustrated by what they see, in spite of their faith. The church is sick. It calls itself pro-life, but only in the most limited sense is this true, because it has rejected the vital energy that creates life to begin with. There will be a tendency of some to blame one denomination or another for what I am describing. I would encourage you all to take the specks out of your own eyes. I have worked with protestants, catholics, orthodox, and even mormons. Some are worse than others, but all are affected. It is a cancer that transcends doctrine. If it's not excised it will become existential not just for Christianity, but the West itself.

@jpschroeder @bugextreme1 This is the way

@bugextreme1 Don't make Jensen sad.

IM NOT AFRAID (of closing my terminal) ANYMORE. 1. dmux uses tmux 2. tmux is background server 3. terminal closing doesn't kill tmux 4. your coding agent keeps working 5. type `dmux` and you're right back where you were. ➡️ dmux.ai

@ToddZywicki @cremieuxrecueil Yeah he’s only looking at 2011 onwards, and the variance is so small over that period. Just controversy baiting.

@cremieuxrecueil I'm confused by this. I asked Gemini to plot the testosterone data from the NHANES studies since 2000 and this is what it came back with.

Society is becoming hormonally masculinized. Men and women today have higher testosterone levels than the men and women of yesteryear.

@aidaxbaradari @be_inaudible So cool. But too expensive for wide consumer appeal IMO, but I get you’re taking a new product to the market. I really hope it takes off. We need more tech like this.

Today, we're introducing Spectre I, the first smart device to stop unwanted audio recordings. We live in a world of always-on listening devices. Smart devices and AI dominate our world in business and private conversations. With Deveillance, you will @be_inaudible.

@lthlnkso @TheRabbitHole So sassy, astute, and woke at the same.

@TheRabbitHole Claude says Yes.

Grok 4.20 passes the Caitlyn Jenner AI Test. ChatGPT fails. Gemini fails.

@BlaccMcLovin @HumanityChad It’s so good

@StefanPretty @HumanityChad I'm reading it as well.

Watch how this kid overcomes his fear when his dad supported him to be brave ❤️

@shedrinkswater This is one of the best micro-essays I’ve read in a long time. No notes. Just hope many people read it.

The bible was the first real open source code
