@Dougbarnett @GovCox That’s really easy to say but your website doesn’t show even a single open role

There are a whole bunch of Utah CEOs, leaders, and voices guiding the state of Utah in the wrong direction on this stuff @GovCox. If companies aren’t hiring it’s bc they aren’t growing, not bc AI is displacing the employees. We are hiring like CRAZY and I bet we are in the top .1% of companies in AI adoption. Please don’t listen and over regulate us.

@FiddlyWiggly @nicoraytruth @ComeHometoRome If you don’t want to actually consider my point I can’t force you. Original response had one point only: implied a causative effect LDS -> higher youth LGBT suicide. This is false, or at least, not at all supported by data.

@cheesecakegood @nicoraytruth @ComeHometoRome So it’s the air and guns making the kids gay? Not a church with “alternate” sexual ethic and a history of covering up abuse? My county in UT has a higher predator count per capita than my mountain CA county. x.com/fiddlywiggly/s…

Why Mormonism may be true.. a take from a pragmatist

Got my first ad in ChatGPT. Bye!

@FiddlyWiggly @nicoraytruth @ComeHometoRome Bad stats. There’s a significant confounder statistically which is just altitude. If you control for that, the rate is pretty normal-to-good IIRC. Other high altitude states have same effect. Plus guns. County by county, highly LDS counties have lower rates!!

@nicoraytruth @ComeHometoRome Utah has the highest amount of trans youth, antidepressant use, and one of the highest rates of suicide in the country

@rohanvarma I think it would unlock a small, but unique and new, user segment. Namely those who have 2-3 small low stakes projects that would be useful but don’t want to personally commit to a huge intensive coding session. Think “weekend project”, spread out. I’d be one

If we made /slow mode in Codex, would you use it? What for? (Slower inference at a cheaper cost)

@rohil_ag Lowkey a workaround is use a screenshot software with OCR. Very randomly helpful for things that don’t natively copy. I use Shottr

Am I dumb or is it impossible to copy a terminal command from Claude without it breaking

@jamalmashburn has been INCREDIBLE on commentary this March Madness, A+ knowledge and very articulate. Miles and miles better than the vacuous color commentary we often get. You can tell he knows ball and actually watches the games.

@MissyPurcell @HollyLanePhD The glaring issue with this chart is that most meta-analysis is hugely problematic. Statistically I’d say it’s MORE questionable

Another reminder from the brilliant @HollyLanePhD 👇 Not all “evidence” is created equal. If an intervention can’t point to randomized control trials, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses…it’s not strong evidence. Parents & educators: ➡️ Demand quality ➡️ Ask for the research ➡️ Watch for snake oil #ScienceOfReading #Dyslexia #RighttoReadIreland

@CartoonsHateHer Asking X questions like this is such a massive error. It’s what ruined progressive journalism almost single-handedly. X does not represent reality. I don’t understand why this is so hard to understand.

I need this for my article tomorrow but I know basically nothing about sports, so ladies, which professional athletes do you consider the most attractive? lol

@yacineMTB Selection bias. It’s always selection bias.

Man what are they feeding these kids. Every university student I talk to is doing some really incredible stuff. Rocketry, building battle bots, designing PCBs, robot arms, cutting antennas out with box cutters. Is it because of LLMs? My class was nowhere near this smart

@sauravk87 In fact these two posts are pretty darn similar and hopefully I don’t need to explain why

@sauravk87 If your resume contains English, you should - be knowing these two - know that these two are not the same.

If your resume contains C++, you should be knowing these two are not same

@DovLieber Extremely embarrassing grammar mistake for a WSJ writer. It’s “sights” as in gun sights.

@GergelyOrosz So glad someone finally said it on a popular account. Been my top pet peeve for ages. Happens literally 4-5 times a day for me

One thing that endlessly frustrates with Anthropic, a $300B+ dollar company, where most code is written with AI: Their landing page for paying customers, Claude .ai has been broken for weeks UX-wise, and no one notices or cares or fixes: It "loses" stuff I type while it loads:

@bentlegen Of course it’s a thing, but the vast majority don’t do it because most people aren’t all that unethical. Now, temptation to work on personal projects? That’s evergreen

An engineering leader told me they discovered numerous employees spending corporate LLM tokens to moonlight for other companies Like, a *lot* of money’s worth Is this a thing?

@ick_real Toss your towel over the shower door or curtain. Dry off your body BEFORE opening the door/curtain. Boom, no longer cold when getting out of the shower

I’m 23. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@justinskycak @Rafi3AK is it (B, B, C, C)? The bottom left one is pretty diabolical. However, I will say, that sometimes you do need abnormally difficult questions to calibrate the top end of the SAT score range (make perfect 800s of a certain rarity).

@Rafi3AK This "riddles with exponential functions" question category shows up on 4 of the 7 official practice tests.

Many SAT questions are intentionally set up to increase cognitive load and confuse/trick students. If a student is encountering these types of questions for the first time while taking the exam, then they're cooked. It doesn't matter if you could have figured it out eventually on your homework, but ran out of time on the test. It doesn't matter if you got the core of the solution right but just fell for a "silly mistake" trap while executing it. It doesn't matter if the question is long-winded and all you missed was some little detail that you would have realized if the question had just been stated more clearly and concisely. That's why it's so important to prepare beforehand. Not just baseline mathematical athleticism, but also practicing against on the specific plays your opponent (the SAT) is going to run. To illustrate, here's an example from an official SAT practice test -- we informally refer to this question type as "riddles" with exponential functions (and this category shows up across quite a few other official tests too, not just one).

@matthewstoller I propose "AI hollowing"

This morning Jim Cramer said that AI really is replacing jobs now, and mentioned how CVS is using chatbots for customer service. That's.... not replacing jobs. It's just degrading customer service. We need a word for this dynamic.

@malachybrowne Yeah, looks clear: - the building was, until a bit past 2013, part of the IRGC compound! - but then they partitioned it off separately when they made it into a school which should also have been visible - seems pretty obviously a US target misidentification. Tragic all round.

Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. nytimes.com/2026/03/05/wor…

It’s pretty dumb that USA vs Canada hockey final is at 5-8am for both countries involved…
