@yieldsearcher @woodchipdaddy What are you talking about? How does financial market stability affect the United States military? This is a ridiculous take. There's never been more market manipulation around a war than the current POTUS. Biden , Obama, Bush, didn't do it. All of his updates are bullshit

@woodchipdaddy We are at war. Financial mkt stability is national security. It is what it is.

The very fact that today’s “deal is imminent” headline came from Nikkei, of all sources, as Asia is the only mkt open today, lays to rest any doubt who is leaking and what these headline drops are intended to achieve vs. actual substance/veracity of the headlines.

@devahaz They all do it. It's the back bone of the Internet. Unless you can identify the original creator , all of this is futile. What about the fact that some of virality has very little to do with the original and more about the person posting it? OG should always get credit though.

Any of these accounts ripping videos from other platforms and sticking their own watermark on them should be demonetized or suspended too, and in an ideal world they should all be required to credit sources for their content
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
@Rainmaker1973 After sourcing 2759 videos from @ViralRushX over the last 6 months, you're now circumventing attribution by simply cropping out his watermark? You cannot get more shameless than this. This is your last day in the creator program.

@nikitabier @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX Wait a minute.. @ViralRushX is crying about big accounts stealing "his" content?
He literally scrapes tiktok, slaps his watermark on videos he didn't make, gives zero credit..
.. and then throws a tantrum when big accounts do the same thing to him.
The hypocrisy is staggering
English
@nikitabier @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX Ok this is great fuck all these guys, but it’s also funny to give any kind of props to guys sticking watermarks on content ripped off other platforms
English
I found the video on another platform, also because it's from YouTube, *not @ViralRushX.

But I guess the decision was made much earlier than this PARODY took place.
Who uses FAKE WATERMARKS can be monetized. Who doesn't use them, cannot.

Over the last 2 mos this account has been right and Axios and Trump's tweets and @DeItaone have all been wrong and yet @HormuzLetter is at just 63k.
We used to all defend @DeItaone but the account has been no different than Axios wrt Iran.
The Hormuz Letter@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: Iran's Foreign Ministry now officially confirms that no Iranian nuclear commitments and uranium handover exist or will exist in any draft agreement with the US, calling all reports that claim otherwise a "pure lie," making further talks pointless due to the US insistence on this issue. Based on that issue, the statement declares "we are not signing any agreement with the US" and "no one can claim we are close to reaching an agreement." Iran separately stated to Tasnim they are now on the verge of "cancelling" the negotiations completely.

@KIRI_Engine_App Did you combine this with anything else, such as photos or this is just pure lidar?
English
AI-Enhanced LiDAR. Left vs right.
A real LiDAR device costs thousands of dollars. What's in your iPhone Pro is a "baby LiDAR". Limited depth resolution, noisy output, not really built for high-precision 3D.
You can't change the hardware. So we built an ML layer on top. Denoising, geometry completion, detail recovery. Processed server-side. Same sensor. Very different result.

@Heavenly_Race_ The hilarious thing though is why the people with the so called high IQ cannot develop a high emotional IQ? If that were to happen on a massive scale then there would be way less friction all around regarding this topic in my opinion.
English
This post blew up, and the replies perfectly illustrate the exact point I was making.
The most common pushback is some version of:
“Nuh-uh, intelligent people can still communicate with lower-IQ individuals just fine.”
I shouldn’t have to spell this out, but here we go.
Nobody is claiming you can’t have a basic transactional conversation with a grocery store clerk, order food, or make small talk with your neighbor. Surface level communication works across moderate gaps. You point, you smile, you use simple sentences, it gets the job done.
The real breakdown happens when you move beyond scripts and start exchanging actual ideas.
That’s where the 20-point gap becomes a chasm:
- One person is thinking in systems, incentives, second and third order consequences.
- The other is stuck at first order, immediate, concrete terms.
What feels like a crystal clear, logical argument to the higher IQ person sounds like confusing, overly complicated nonsense to the other.
You’re not speaking the same conceptual language anymore.
This is why high IQ people often feel chronically alienated in normal social or professional environments, and why average people can find very bright individuals exhausting, “weird,” or arrogant.
It’s also why throwing together teams, friendships, marriages, or institutions with massive cognitive mismatches creates persistent friction that “just be nice” rhetoric can’t magically dissolve.
Basic communication? Usually possible.
Deep, accurate exchange of complex ideas? Often not.
English
Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.
It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.
A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:
Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."
Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.
Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.
Both walk away frustrated.
Both have wasted each others time.
English
@buccocapital How is that even remotely true? By definition, you have lived to the fullest unless we have a drastically different definition of what living is. I think that most people take for granted how precious life is. No disrespect to what you said but hating on others isn't the answer
English
The true, existential risk of this sort of thinking is you can hyper-optimize every waking minute and then suddenly you wake up at 40 and realize you haven’t truly lived a single day of your entire life

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@andrewmccalip @signulll Why do you think that? That's a pretty big claim
English
@signulll I maintain that anthropic and karpathy are still doing memory wrong and completely missing an enterprise opportunity nearly as big as coding itself.

as ppl think more & more about ai memory systems, one of the best places to learn from about memory is music. songs are basically compressed memory files (what claude just launched) in some sense (although one to many).
a unique thing about music is that it seems to bypass a lot of the higher order filtering that other media goes through & hits limbic, autonomic, & motor systems at the same time. rhythm entrains the body, melody tags emotion, & repetition reinforces encoding. so the memory trace gets stored unusually thick with not just semantic recall, but state recall. place, smell, weather, heartbreak, & the exact texture of a year of your life. all bundled together.
that’s why a song from 2014 can teleport you harder than seeing 500 old photos. photos are observational. music is pure reembodiment.
& cuz songs are time based, they literally unfold at the same cadence as lived experience. your brain replays the nervous system state attached to it.

ANTHROPIC 🔥: Claude will soon receive a new file-based memory upgrade, offering users the option to choose between Memory Files and Classic memory. > Organized notes Claude writes as you chat and reads when they're relevant. Browse and edit them anytime. This feature appears to be a new iteration of the previously discovered "Knowledge Bases" and more closely resembles what memory works in always-on agents like OpenClaw and Hermes. Considering a potential future debut of Claude Conway, Memory Files feature is likely an important preparation step.

It’s very simple
Find a 3090 or two
Get any mobo that supports 2 pcie x16 ports (at least x16x4 for lanes)
Get a 1200W+ PSU
Buy the cheapest ddr4 ram 64gb+ (you’re not using it anyways)
Install Linux, vLLM, Llama.cpp, SGlang, tailscale
Download any flavour of qwen 3.7 27b

@Tiffany__T99 @darrenrovell It's James Dolan. Fuck that idiot. The garden should have a capacity of 100k. There's literally millions of people in NYC that would love to go a Knicks finally and maybe 10k/20k are for Knicks fans

@darrenrovell This is absolutely ridiculous. If half the city can’t even afford to set foot in the stadium to watch a match, what’s the point of this so called sense of community pride?

Catching up on lost sleep might be possible to a certain extent.
Moderate weekend catch-up sleep (CUS) - sleeping 0-2 extra hours on weekends - was seen to be associated with a 23% lower risk of accelerated aging compared to no catch-up sleep.
Over 2 hours of catch-up sleep didn't provide additional benefits.
They measured age acceleration with the Phenotypic age calculator, which is based on certain common blood markers.

@sethkarten @reach_vb I took a quick glance at your paper and I'm still a little confused. What agent models currently today can remain in sync and read write push changes in real time without collisions. Wouldn't you need to know token rates of each separate model before attempting this?

@reach_vb Exactly. You need continual refinement in your harness x.com/sethkarten/sta…

Copy and paste this into your codex:
“Look through my recent Codex sessions and identify repeated workflows or repeated asks.
For anything I keep doing manually, suggest:
1. a skill if it is a reusable workflow
2. a custom subagent if it is a bounded role or investigation task
Focus on practical things like CI failures, PR reviews, changelogs, docs updates, release prep, debugging, and test triage.
Create the useful ones only. Keep them simple.”
Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav@reach_vb
Codex Tip: ask Codex to look through your past sessions and turn repeated prompts into reusable skills + subagents you’ll probably find the same stuff showing up again and again: “check why CI failed” “review this PR” “write the changelog” “trace this bug” “clean up this diff” make it a skill if it’s a repeatable workflow or, make it a subagent if it’s a specific job you want to delegate

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the DHS Inspector General just opened an audit into a $38 billion warehouse-to-detention scheme that Kristi Noem and her top adviser Corey Lewandowski rammed through.
ICE bought 11 vacant warehouses in a matter of months, paying 11 to 13 percent above market value.
The properties weren’t even zoned for detention. No working plumbing for thousands of detainees. But Noem and Lewandowski pressured ICE to open them by year’s end anyway.
The result? At least $1 billion already spent on nine facilities. Nearly 50 contractors paid $1.7 billion since Trump took office.
Companies with zero immigration detention experience suddenly winning massive federal contracts.
One firm that didn’t even exist until June 2024 got a $6 million DHS contract this January.
Noem is gone.
Lewandowski is gone.
But the bill is still landing on the taxpayer, and the IG investigation is just getting started.
Accountability cannot end when the perpetrators walk out the door.
Every contract needs scrutiny.
Every dollar needs to be traced.
Every official who steered money to inexperienced contractors needs to answer under oath.
