Worth the trip.

@Babygravy9 @AJNlive Does this reads as good news, actually? It implies that most people won’t actually get alpha gal from a tick bite.

New research shows in some US states 1 in 4 adults has antibodies associated with a tick-borne meat allergy. This is a much bigger problem than we thought. My latest detailed analysis for @AJNlive. alexjoneslive.com/2026/07/25/end…

@TeddyRookBook We have liked this book a lot. a.co/d/09dI8mYP Kids are still very young, but it starts introducing the sounds, as well as the concept of different languages meaning the same thing.

At what age does everyone else’s kids start learning Latin?

@alifsayalee Yeah dawg it’s just called Hermes.

So is there a wrapper or a tool like claude code but open-source that lets me connect my Claude and Codex to it and I can then use multi-agent workflows like Fable summoning Sol and Opus to do it's bidding?

@ptrschmdtnlsn Roller coaster tycoon has this, it’s an integral part of the game.

Wow, what a visceral thought experiment, I like it. Imagine having access to 10k minerals + 10k gas at the very start at like 5% interest per minute in Starcraft 2, and what a completely and utterly insurmountable advantage that would be -- now apply this to the whole economy.

Computer science people have developed an unintentional form of gatekeeping by virtue of being extremely bad at explaining/naming things, which results in simple concepts sounding far more complex than they are.

Something to think about.

Reject the hammock and free yourself with an inflatable bed.

It's cool the labs didn't IPO yet so the fallout from the token bubble imploding won't affect public markets and normal people but instead it'll just tank the saudi wealth fund or whatever

@yacineMTB One of the most important men of all time. Modern computing would not exist without him, and even most programmers don't know who he is or why he's important.

My ideology is quite simple

@Greg_TheBuilder @growing_daniel Sun Microsystems. Xerox.

@growing_daniel Is there a historical precedent of this? Microsoft, Apple, IBM led much of the personal computing and still are giants (maybe less so ibm)

It would honestly be very interesting if "frontier AI lab" ends up being just a weird aberration of the early AI revolution and OpenAI and Anthropic go to being worth a few billion each

We’re road tripping across the country right now and I needed a camp site. I prompted Hermes (pointed at grok). “Find me a campsite approximately west of Eugene Oregon along the coast, with availability from 7/19-7/21, in a state park, with electric hookups.” It did it. I had been looking manually, dealing with annoying reservation websites, and it just did it. Found me an exact match. Pretty cool.

I've settled on my benchmark for AI being "Can it fully replace a secretary?" No one thing a secretary does requires an exceptional level of intelligence, but the job requires a high level of trust, organization, and coherence. One could call this the "Secretary Problem."

@SalamanderSling @uncledoomer Pintle.

@uncledoomer What kind of hitch can take that level of articulation?

remember that this truck, the modern toyota hilux, is basically illegal to own in the US because your politicians hate you

@youwillmakemaps I made my wife’s wedding ring out of titanium on this bad boy in our hackerspace. They’re out there. Many are too focused on 3D printing, and a lot of the people have lost sight of the core idea, but I still think the core idea is good (access to expensive tools).

@blhack If I could go to one and learn to lathe brass I’d never leave

"Maker space"

Every summer we spend months traveling around the country with our kids going to state parks, museums, farms, etc. and largely staying in campgrounds. Before that my wife and I spent a few months of the year camping in either Black Rock City or various music festivals where we were working shooting fire effects. I think campgrounds, music festivals, BRC, etc. are all just people yearning to live communally. You're outside, with your "neighbors", everybody is walking around seeing each other, there are kids playing everywhere in the streets, and you can hear people talking. You make fast friends with your neighbors while walking ot the bathrooms/portos, eventually end up trading beers with them, and sitting by the bonfire. People don't want to live completely separate from a community in their houses with a buffer zone between their house and their front door. It's lonely.

@politicalmath FINALLY a Noah enjoyer. I loved this movie. The visuals especially seemed exactly appropriate for a biblical story like the one. I thought Aronofsky crushed it, and was frustrated it wasn’t more acclaimed.

What is a movie that you feel was tremendously misunderstood? My go-to is Darren Aronofsky's Noah, which had some pretty profound things to say about how God communicates with His children

Digitalocean bundling this much AI into the normal interface is probably going to end up pushing me away from them. I want login -> droplets. I don't want off brand AWS.

@chrishume_ This story that he told has a huge effect on me and the way I think about design and creation. If you build things, you have a responsibility to do a good job: youtu.be/b9N3yj3gOck

Didn't realize how goated Draplin's site is Never seen a menu like this... it's perfect Lots of hats too
