@AnthropicAI is getting a deserved reputation for not knowing how to keep their systems up. It was better than Codex, but the number one ability is availability.

Yeah, time to get lunch.

Trying to make an @apple account is like trying to prove P=NP. Do not make something so central to all your products that you don't care to actually make function. Shameful.

Hey @github stop breaking shit or we're all leaving.

I know that the signs #apple has lost their touch abound, but this one is towards the top of the list.

Forget Robot World Cup, I really want to see robots playing humans in Curling.

Anyone who owns a @Tesla knows that letting the same company philosophy administer the deployment of dozens of rocket payloads worth of datacenter gear to space per day is suicidal.

Using these coding agents I can't shake that this must be what Richard Stallman felt like using human assistants in the 90s. But I guess a lot less immediate understanding.

@DOTHawaii you have a serious problem on h-1 now. Cars have been stuck for hours and people are starting to abandon. There is no obvious communication and no police presence.

@stripe is your react-native sdk actually supported and maintained? Seems like it does not support the new architecture, and that is more than a year old now.

The Trump emails are just like classic scam emails - M, you came HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by President Trump himself… M - YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON FOR THIS JOB. How stupid do they think their voters are? Does this stuff work?

@davidmarcus Well, maybe you’re not a xenophobe or a racist, but it’s not a deal breaker for you.

I am crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump. Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free from it. My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election. It has been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding from there. In 2017, a good friend enlisted me to pitch the DNC to raise $100M from Silicon Valley founders and executives. The aim was to use these funds and know-how to build a CRM and tech platform to prevent a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s inadequate, outdated 2016 campaign. We met with DNC leadership, who told us we could raise that money, but it would have to go to the general fund; a single-digit percentage would then be allocated to tech. In the wake of one of their most shocking failures, they didn’t want the help. The next series of realizations began in 2019 while I was at Meta, right after we announced the Libra white paper. I testified before the Senate and the House and subsequently spent significant time in DC, engaging with lawmakers, cabinet members, regulators, and two White House administrations. At the time, I still believed the mainstream idea that Democrats were all about serving the People. However, I was shocked to learn that, for the most part, Republicans cared more deeply about their constituents, while Democrats, in my experience, cared more about government power and control. This is my observation on balance, with many stories to back it up. I also found that more Republicans wanted to understand our project’s goals and took the time to learn about the risks of censoring payments and controlling the network. I found myself remarkably aligned with them. Then COVID came, revealing more. While I don’t subscribe to the most malicious vaccine conspiracy theories, I do take offense at the censorship machine put in place to hide the origin of the virus from the NIH-funded Wuhan lab and all dissenting voices on vaccinations and lockdowns. At that time, I fully appreciated why Republicans value freedom of speech and preventing censorship. This trend of spinning and manufacturing a parallel reality to serve the Dem agenda, solidified by complicit mainstream media, hit home with the Hunter Biden laptop story, the coordinated vilification of President Trump and his followers, and President Biden’s cognitive decline — depriving voters of a voice in a proper primary. These examples displayed the hubris of the current Dem leadership. You must think the American people are fools to believe the spin on these issues. I despise this elite vs. general population ideology viscerally. This version of the Democratic Party is sidelining moderates and centrists and has adopted an increasingly leftist ideology. This drift to the left has dictated policies from which I’ve found myself estranged. On the domestic front, there has been a total departure from the core American value system of meritocracy, an extreme and weaponized DEI agenda, an open door to massive illegal immigration, and a once-fringe narrative, now mainstream within the party, of vilifying success. This shift is also causing us to fall behind due to an anti-innovation regulatory climate, notably on crypto and soon AI — two non-linear technological breakthroughs that will likely determine tomorrow’s leading countries. On foreign policy, the administration is exacerbating tensions with Russia through an aggressive NATO expansion narrative focused on Ukraine and prolonging an unwinnable war. This is costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, the world hundreds of thousands of lives, depleting the U.S. military arsenal and risking World War III. On Iran, this administration is continuing a misguided Obama-era plan to bring Iran closer to the West by unfreezing Trump-era sanctions, thus giving the Mollahs’ regime the ability to fund terrorism and pursue its anti-America, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish agenda. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was also handled disastrously. We’re leaving a door open for China to invade Taiwan by coming across as weak. Most importantly to me, concerning Israel, the administration is enabling Iran to fund Hamas and Hezbollah, restraining Israel in its fight against its enemies, thus prolonging another conflict, which is costing more lives on both sides and allowing unprecedented levels of antisemitism to rise at home. I believe we need a President who is unequivocally pro: America, the Constitution, business, Bitcoin/crypto, innovation, Israel, small government, legal immigration, free speech, meritocracy, and common sense — and anti: regulatory proliferation, illegal immigration, unjust wars, Iran’s current regime, and domestic groups that oppose American values. These issues are central to President Trump’s platform. Naturally, I disagree with President Trump and the GOP on some issues, particularly women’s reproductive rights. While I’ve come to learn that extreme views exist in both parties, I firmly believe that women should have the unalienable right to make their own decisions on this polarizing topic. President Trump confirmed he was against a national abortion ban and supported the Supreme Court’s decision on maintaining access to mifepristone, which was reassuring and a sign that the party was moving closer to the center. It’s impossible to close this post without mentioning President Trump’s recent assassination attempt. The courage and resolve he displayed seconds after being hit by a bullet was awe-inspiring for his followers and detractors alike. This was a man, however imperfect, who, at that moment, incarnated the American spirit in the most vivid way, starting to bring a split nation together. Some claim that reelecting President Trump will bring our democracy to its knees. However, the alternative — having unelected individuals with this much power and no accountability run our government coupled with four more years of bad policies at home and abroad — might present a more significant threat. Neither will likely change in a Harris administration and could potentially worsen. In this pivotal moment, confronted with the choices we have, I am endorsing and supporting a return to a Republican administration in 2025.

@elonmusk What concerns me about you saying this is there is zero logical basis for this conclusion. I don’t know if it’s the drugs, the desire for tax breaks, or some wish to watch it all burn, but this is just mentally lazy.

I think the risk of this is very real

@elonmusk You are failing at systems thinking. Why is an ID requirement something the Republicans want? Because it disproportionately reduces the votes of lower income. And why is that? Because government makes it prohibitively beuracractic to get an ID. Fix the real problem.

This is crazy, as it makes fraud impossible to detect

@qatarxairway You cannot.

@qatarairways is a steaming pile of trash. They have stranded 60 passengers in New Zealand for over 25 hours now and REFUSE to rebook any of them, even though IATA regulations require that they do so. They should not be allowed to do business in the travel industry.

@migueldeicaza I know right? All that Apple love is coming back to bite you now.

WHERE ARE THE TOKENS LEBOSWKI?

@qatarairways Also, your website auth is broken - the session tokens expire after 15 minutes and do not renew, and require relogin to both the social provider, OTP, and Recaptcha. It's as if you are trying to make it hard to contact you because it's expensive and bad.
