@maddymontaquila I never get to write C# anymore. Even I know that it’s a sick language. Always has the newest features. LINQ was so ahead of its time.

@travisakers I’ve been here for a week visiting from California. Besides gas, it’s not cheaper at all (I’m sure some real estate is). I couldn’t believe how much more expensive groceries were.

Talking to smarter folks than me, I'm convinced many of the AI folks in my timeline are full of shit.
Nobody is "running 20 agents over night" and building stuff for actual users. Maybe some are building internal tools or disposable software. Maybe.
But building software people like using? That doesn't get hacked on day one or blow up after the 3rd user? Nope.
I don't even understand what that's supposed to look like. Do you work out a 57 pages document that perfectly describes what you want to build and then summon 14 agents and have them run wild for 6 hours? And what comes out on the other end isn't a broken pile of shit?
Nope. Not buying it.
PS: it may also be that I have an IQ of 82 and can't figure it out.

I think this is false memory?

Each Y Combinator batch I ask the startups what percent of their code is written by AI. It passed 75% at least a year ago, maybe two.

GPT-5.5 is smart. I've been using it for a bit. It's also weird, hard to wrangle, and too expensive IMO.
Double the price of GPT-5.4. 20% more expensive than Opus 4.7.

API pricing will be $5 per 1 million input tokens and $30 per 1 million output tokens, with a 1 million context window.
(Remember, you will need less tokens per task than 5.4!)

GPT-5.5 is here! We hope it's useful to you. I personally like it.

Marijuana today is much more potent than just ten or twenty years ago, leading to increased psychosis, anti-social behavior, and fatal car crashes. Arkansans don’t want more dangerous drugs obtained more easily. A change to marijuana’s drug classification is a step in the wrong direction.

My fellow Californians - Please get behind Xavier Becerra for Governor. He is surging in the polls. We can't have a republican run this state. I'm hoping all those other dem candidates who are polling in single digits drop out and endorse him.

@KatiePavlich What’re we gonna do with the extract? It doesn’t just disappear.

Candidates running for California governor should be asked about why the state doesn’t desalinate. It’s ridiculous, especially while they drain the Colorado River and live in drought conditions - especially farmers.

@SouthDallasFood White people love shit like this. Worked at a Mexican place and they fall head over heels to pay $25+ for Fajitas, which is usually a chicken breast and some bell peppers and onions. On of the best margins/markups. Just give them a sizzling plate and it’s like jingling keys.

Ok serious question, how does one even go about eating this?

Fun fact: On the presidential campaign when all the candidates would speak at the same events, this guy would send his staff into the crowd and have them clap for him cuz no one else would.
He even made sure they were spread out in the crowd to make it sound like the applause was genuine and coming from the entire crowd. The more people heard him, the less they liked him. Pathetic.

You can travel to Italy, but you’ll never be an Italian. You can travel to France but you’ll never be a Frenchman. You can live in Germany but you’ll never be a German. You can pack your bags and live the rest of your life in China or Japan, but you’ll never be Chinese or Japanese. Yet you can come from any one of those countries to the United States of America, and you can still be an American – so long as you work hard, you play by the rules, you make your contributions, wait your turn, pledge allegiance to the flag, and obtain your citizenship.

Seniors on fixed incomes can't absorb rising costs the way others can. In Arizona, 1 in 5 residents is over 65. Washington doesn't talk about that enough. My Cost of Living Emergency Act is designed to protect them and the retirement they earned.

What teacher is making $125k a year and working less than 50 hours a week?
Matt | The Mini-Retirement Maximalist@MiniRetireMatt
The teacher making $125k per year, with 3 months of PTO, and 35 hour work weeks Is better off than... The attorney making $250k per year, with 1-2 weeks of PTO, and 60+ hour work weeks It's not even close

@GaryMarcus We’re going to see more investment in the near term though. Reason being companies are going to be jockeying for position in receivership.

Id like to know what percentage of those fired will be American.
If you are a global company based out of America and you have mass layoffs, it should be illegal to fire any American employees before foreign employees.
