I never said it was only milk. I said it’s derived from milk. Whey isolate is literally filtered dairy protein. And I never said "replace food with whey" The point is that adding a spoonful of protein to yogurt or pancakes is an easy way to increase protein density for toddlers who would rather survive on crackers and air than finish a chicken breast. Stop acting like whey isolate is some chemical sludge like ultra-processed cereal, juice boxes, artificial flavoring or food dyes. If you use pure, unflavored whey isolate, at most all it has is lecithin for mixability, and surprise surprise.... Lecithin is everywhere in food because it helps fats and liquids mix smoothly. If your kids eat peanut butter, salad dressings, ice creams, infant formula, anything baked... guess what? they're already eating lecithin.

Whey protein isnt only “milk”. It has a lot of additive ingredients. I would totally avoid giving that to a kid unless it was a medical problem where it’s really needed, in that case perhaps. I basically follow the real food logic with my kids and they grow fast and strong. No amount of whey protein wins eating real non processed foods

"Kids who eat a high protein diet are smarter than kids on low-protein diets" Protein is critical for a child's growth & development Every snack & meal should include a quality protein option

You’re a special kind of retard aren’t you? Whey isolate is derived from real food. Most protein is very dense. How much protein can a kid eat from chicken, beef or fish. Especially when there are other foods competing with the protein 💀 way easier to make them hit their targets with a spoonful of isolate than chasing them with a chicken breast or some steak 💀 When my daughter asks for pancakes, I simply add an extra egg, some cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and whey isolate to the batter. This transforms them from junk food into a high-protein treat.

@bitforth @thriving__kids You can also give them real protein from real food instead of powdered slop

Whey isolate is essentially protein extracted from milk. You can make it yourself. Start by making cheese, then collect the leftover liquid. Filter it, and you’ll end up with a very high-protein concentrate. Companies then take the extra step of making it powdered, so all you have to do is dehydrate the liquid or spray dry it and collect the powder. 💀 Many “real foods” contain whey isolate, e.g. most commercial Greek yogurts do.

@_gudiniz @bitforth Protein from real food is definitely best

@waywardsuol @Kocatholic @TheColonel89604 @thriving__kids “Don’t add whey protein to meals.” Meanwhile Mr Goybeast lunchable with neon drinks, Red 40 slurry, and hyper-palatable milk chocolate sugar sandwich are perfectly fine. People hear “protein powder” and imagine steroid dust from a locker room instead of… filtered milk protein.

@Kocatholic @TheColonel89604 @thriving__kids Don't do add-ons like whey protein (unless you want to make them potentially sick to their stomach). Just feed them what they like to eat and try your best but don't go all out and put them on a strict meal plan. Chicken nugs and PB&Js go a long way.

@sergioautonomo @Kocatholic @TheColonel89604 @thriving__kids Lmao. whey isolate literally comes from milk. It’s not uranium. Do you think a toddler is gonna 4 eggs, greek yogurt, chicken breast, and salmon? Those goblins would survive off air, crackers, and licking grapes if you let them.

@Kocatholic @TheColonel89604 @thriving__kids that's fucking crazy, whey protein? don't feed that crap to your kid sir. Just real food. Can he eat eggs or there's some allergy to that?

El mercado laboral está premiando a quienes dominan la IA. Quienes destacan no la usan solo para ellos mismos: usan IA para empoderar a sus equipos. Para acelerar a otros developers. Para multiplicar el impacto colectivo. Esa es la verdadera ventaja competitiva. Cómo lo haces tú?

@jahirsheikh8 I'm checking who's on call in infra, send them a message and go back to sleep.

Senior backend interview question: CPU usage jumps to 100% every night at 3:17 AM. No cron jobs. No deployments. No traffic spike. What are you checking first?

@RavePit_Com @TechEmails Um, yes? The board of directors is above the CEO. That's not hidden lore nor a conspiracy theory. Satya has bosses.

@TechEmails Well, is he saying he did not make the decision in the first place?🙃 Strange something like this would be in black and white as the issue here seems to be persons above him who pulled the trigger...

@sify_7 @TechEmails Corpo lingo is what middle management uses to make unnecessary people sound essential.

@TechEmails It's funny how these billionaires/CEOs and all chat so casually and come straight to the point even in mails instead of those useless formalities

if after the bun rust rewrite and 1M code merge in a few days you still think that software engineering hasn’t changed massively idk what to tell you

@MartinShkreli Artificial Intelligence Researcher - 4mo. Likely RA (Research Assistant)

when i was younger, i was very insecure. i did this kind of thing too. over time you learn that it is critical to be truthful and not misleading about every single thing you do. i had to learn this lesson the hard way, but boy, have i internalized it. UNDERSELL yourself.

@colin_thornton LMFAO Is that today's picture? I saw the same plates yesterday and thought of taking a picture but I was far too slow lmao

How I woke up feeling today knowing that @bitforth and I run a 100% bootstrapped AI-native product company with an ~89% operating margin

I can't help but feel a little sad for Zuck. He's spent years of doing China side quests, so he could bring Facebook to the Chinese: - Learned Mandarin for Xi, Xi was unimpressed. - Gave speeches in Mandarin at Tsinghua. - Keeps Xi Jinping’s book on his desk - Tell Metamates to read about “socialism with Chinese characteristics” and that "Chinese 996 culture is GOATed" - Asked Xi to name his baby (Xi said "na bro") Still no Facebook in China. Then Trump shows up like: “Get in loser, we’re doing it my way” Passenger list on the Air Force One: 1. Tim Cook. 2. Larry Fink. 3. Elon Musk. 4. Jensen Huang Almost every person in that room is poorer than Zuck, less culturally powerful than Zuck, and less central to the internet than Zuck. But they’re in the room. And Zuck is probably still in his Hawaiian bunker refreshing his inbox waiting for an invite.

@sercasti_ Los agentes usan herramientas deterministicas

@bitforth Que lindo investigar un bug en producción con el agente en el medio... Tiramos la parte deterministica a la basura y que la entropía salga a jugar

No puedo hablar mucho de esto todavía, pero la semana pasada desplegamos un agente bastante embebido en los workflows de una empresa relativamente grande. Y lo raro es que la reacción de los usuarios, más allá de decir “qué útil” ha sido más como que están medio sorprendidos, medio asustados porque el agente parece entender el contexto invisible, se adapta a la persona, cambia el ángulo y reconstruye intención a partir de señales incompletas. Y @colin_thornton me pregunta: “Cómo le hiciste?” Y yo: “Ehhh... técnicamente tiene una lista de herramientas que puede llamar, un system prompt que le da voz, estilo y límites, y un harness que controla el entorno.” Pero no hay una tabla sagrada que diga: “Si el usuario pide X, haz Y.” No hay árbol de decisión escondido, ni mil reglas, ni skills escritos en ningun archivo. Lo inquietante es que gran parte emerge del modelo interactuando con el harness correcto. Si tiene herramientas, limites y memoria contextual, pero hasta ahí. Obvio yo se que no es AGI, ni conciencia, pero sí hay algo fascinante en ver cómo, cuando diseñas bien el entorno, el agente empieza a verse como un "Ultron" que aprendió a moverse dentro de una organización.

hot take: if you are a programmer you should be able to invert a binary tree from memory, AI or not. It's ridiculously easy and if you can't do it, you should not have a computer science degree

@jamesqquick yes

Developers. Is “egress” a word you immediately resonate with? Is it something that has tangible meaning to you without further discussion?

@kapilansh_twt some infra providers have cli tooling for this (railway does, for example) You can use 1Password shared folders, and then use the `op` CLI to pull .env and populate a template. It's a simple script.

how do teams actually share .env variables securely because the options I see are - Slack DM (terrible) - email (worse) - shared Notion doc (somehow even worse) - 1Password or similar - something I'm missing
