Friend: Why is your bathroom light purple.
Me: That's the shrimp setting.
Friend: The WHAT.
Me: The shrimp setting.
Friend: There should never be a sentence like that in a normal apartment.
Me: It calms them down.
Friend: WHO IS "THEM."

tiny bubbling sound from bathroom
Friend: Why is your bathtub making aquarium noises.
Me: Okay before you panic,
Friend: THERE ARE LIVE SHRIMP IN YOUR TUB?!
Me: They're temporary guests.
Friend: You have CRUSTACEAN TENANTS.
Me: Their tank filter broke.
Friend: So your solution was "bathtub commune."
Me: They're actually thriving.
Friend: One of them just looked at me with intent.
Me: That's Marcus.
Friend: WHY DOES THE SHRIMP HAVE A NAME.
Me: Because he survived The Incident.
Friend: I'm scared to ask.
Me: Costco parking lot. July 2024. We lost good men.
Friend: THEY'RE SHRIMP.
Me: You don't understand war.

serverless is amazing.
you get:
- cold starts
- 14 dashboards
- functions timing out because JSON was 3kb too large
- logs delivered sometime between now and your retirement
- a billing model based on quantum mechanics
all to avoid managing a VPS that has had a working tutorial since 2009

The literal #1 most suicidal belief you can have is that you’re an introvert/socially anxious/don’t like people.
I was this guy until around 22. Thought I was better than everyone else and actively chose not to be social.
Life completely changed when I started interacting with random people and just trying to make them laugh. Opportunities opened up, made relationships with people I never thought possible. Everything was just less dull and boring. Every day was fun for no reason.
You cannot be a lone wolf. It’s a mental illness.
Life is meaningless without people.

I believe in socializing basically 24/7. This has made me more money than anything else. High energy levels and constant social interaction.

Mi carrera en IT no empezó en la universidad, empezó a los 12 años cuando me saqué un posdoctorado en Ingeniería de Redes viendo tutoriales de YouTube con música de Linkin Park de fondo para poder abrir los puertos del router y jugar con mis amigos.
El fin de una era.

i love how people are saying "if we write a sufficiently detailed specification, the agent can write all our code"
do you know what writing a sufficiently detailed specification that deterministically maps to what a computer's actions is? it's coding

You know at 20,487 (combined add/remove)
We can assume an average and say per line this is 3-4 seconds to read, let's just boldly assume the same to understand.
So what, 8 seconds per line? That's 163,896 seconds.
Now let's divide that by 60, I'll round the decimal down for courtesy - that is 2,731 minutes.
Now let's turn those minutes in to hours - so what, 2,731/60 again!
Rounding to the nearest 1dp point that gives us 45.5 hours.
Now I do work hard, so in my flow state I work for 14 hours straight.
It's gunna take me 3.25 days in my state to even understand what you have produced.
You do not understand, nor read your code. If this is markdown, there is zero way to verify that your AI hasn't hallucinated. This does not belong to you, it has nothing to do with you, you are a vessel.
I like AI, I do not like people who pretend to be productive.

@Nemtastic1 @BreakfastQGame @cremieuxrecueil This is not a post facto rationalization. You can and should arrive to that conclusion if you think for more than 5 seconds before pressing any button
English
That's a post facto rationalization though. The simple truth is that a *lot* of people would choose the blue button, and almost none of them would be suicidal or ironic.
Some of your family members. Some of your friends. Some of your neighbors, and not just the bad ones.
The solution is easy if you view this as a math puzzle. It is very much not easy if you view it as an actual choice placed before 8 billion actual humans.
English
@prerat @cremieuxrecueil If you see this, and see that if you press blue your life is on the whim of the red pressers, why would you press blue? This makes blue look even worse as an option. Also, in the end the red button does nothing if no one selects blue

When a philosophical hypothetical relies on this kind of sleight of hand its idiotic
The question is in English.so should we assume non-English speakers don’t get a translation?
Are color blind people told which is which?
How many seconds do you have to choose?
The hypothetical obviously includes unstated stipulations: “the choice is made by persons who have the ability to comprehend what the choice is and have it explained in a way they understand.” If your answer to the hypothetical rests on specific silly assumptions like “well some people don’t speak English” you’re not engaging the question at all.

The original question specified "everyone in the world." There's a critical mass of young children/babies who would not, under any circumstances, be able to understand the question, and would pick randomly. Voting blue is the only way to save them.

@MrEldenThing @32nds @jack_whitcomb_ But they shouldn't have pressed the blue button to start with. They can press the red button and nothing happens to them
English
@alejandrojsn @32nds @jack_whitcomb_ The drawback of pressing the red button is that many other people may die
English
ale retweetledi
I'm convinced this is just a poorly phrased question. If you pose it as:
- Anyone who presses the red button lives no matter what.
- Anyone who presses the blue button dies, unless > 50% of people also press the blue button.
then it's clear that pressing the blue button is dumb.
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
English
@MrEldenThing @32nds @jack_whitcomb_ If they tell you that pressing the red button doesn't have any drawback but by pressing the blue button you are at the mercy of others, why would i press the blue button?
English
@32nds @jack_whitcomb_ If you press the red button, anyone who pressed blue dies. If >50% pick blue, they don’t. Do you think anyone will pick blue?
