@MaryJackalope every mythology ever for 12000 years: women civilized men modern people: I have a *crazy* theory

Wait wait wait you’re telling me the famous leftist leader was a BAD GUY????

the park closes at sunset because about an hour later the dads come back out to smoke joints and complain about the awful battery situation in F1

@angelsmushylove @memeticsisyphus Given that everyone in the *world* is subject to the leadership of the United States, do you think everyone in the world should get a say in who leads it?

@memeticsisyphus Because everyone in the country is subject to the leaders and their decisions, so therefore all subjects should get a say in who leads it.

An impulse marriage to an abuser and we’re supposed to let her have a say in our national leadership?

@Romy_Holland @GarrettPetersen I told my mother about baby #3 and 3 sentences later she was talking about how the world is doomed due to Trump and she’s worried about the future my sons would have. Bummed me out.

watching something become politicized in real time is so frustrating. there was no reason pronatalism needed to end up politicized at all, and now it's slowly becoming seen as a wacky rightwing talking point. I mentioned something to an older neighbor about how strange it is that so many people have stopped having kids and she readily agreed and then after a minute said "...but that's what all those MAGA people are talking about now." I tried to gently be like "oh I guess so, but it seems to me like something everyone should care about" but I could watch the desire to maintain the correct political allegiance surging within her and overriding any reasonable thought.

@balajis Uber was great and Travis is Travis but CloudKitchens is aggressively evil. Mining robots sound sick tho

Travis Kalanick is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time. The bad guys took his company. But they never broke his spirit. He rebuilt from scratch. And now he’s back.

Had a parent-teacher conference this morning My wife told me not to come I came anyway She said "please just listen and nod" I said "I always listen" She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge" That's how listening works Nice classroom Small chairs I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus My knees touched my chest The teacher introduced herself Shared her identified pronouns I shared my identified adjectives Smart and handsome My wife closed her eyes The teacher had a folder Color-coded tabs I respected the organization She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class" My wife smiled I waited That sentence is never the whole report It's the executive summary before the risk section She said "however" There it is She said he "asks a lot of questions" I said "good" She said "during quiet time" I said "when is quiet time?" She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence" I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?" My wife put her hand on my arm I continued The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own" I said "that's an accurate observation" My wife squeezed harder The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities" I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade." The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard I said "was he right?" She paused She said "that's not the point" I said "it's a little bit the point" My wife stood up Sat back down Compromise The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms" All subjective Not a number on the page I asked how these are graded She said "based on observation" I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?" She said "it's professional judgment" I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them." She looked at my wife My wife said "I'm sorry about him" I said "I'm sitting right here" My wife said "I know" The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate" I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now." Nobody spoke The teacher closed her folder She said "I think we've covered everything" I said "one more thing" She braced herself I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has." The teacher looked at me differently My wife looked at me differently I said "that's all" We left In the car my wife was quiet Then she said "he's turning into you" I said "is that a good thing?" She didn't answer From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?" I looked at my wife She looked out the window I said "yes. It is." He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right" I didn't say anything Neither did my wife Small chairs Color-coded tabs No follow-up items But the kid's going to be fine Sent from my iPhone

When you are the only Kubernetes expert in the company and you are summoned

me, looking at our codebase

its wild that almost every cultural difference between all groups boils down to 3 questions "how did we get here" and "where are we going" and "what do we have to eat"

@DanielleFong Strongly agreed but much like my stock trading agent which hemorrhages money, once Claude 5 drops it’ll all work perfectly and I’ll be READY

anyone intelligent who has spent any time working with frontier agents for any amount of time can tell you, sure it's amazing but dangerous and it's not ready to put lethal force on at the present time. holy mother

Took my (frigid) wife to see Wuthering Heights tonight. Car ride to the theater she put on the Hamilton soundtrack and scrolled through Pinterest the entire time ignoring me. I think I chipped a tooth from clenching my teeth. Walk into the theater lobby and it’s a sea of screaming black teenagers and obese guatemalan women babbling into speakerphone. I buy her some garbage to eat and we go into the theater. Before we sit down she accidentally (?) spills her extra large diet Dr. Pepper on my seat, but the theater is full so I just sit in it. My ass is immediately soaked but I don’t care I just don’t want to move my body anymore I just don’t want my body to function. The guatemalan women are in the theater and they and my wife are all staring at their phones, giving the room a sickly, ambient glow that makes my eyes water and my stomach turn. The movie starts and I mentally check out, thinking of the chubby teenage girl at the concession counter and how thrilling it would be to kidnap her. I let my mind drift away but my wife snaps me out of this fantasy by hacking loudly trying to get a stuck popcorn kernel out of her throat. The guatemalan women sense distress and start nervously gibbering in their gutterspeak. I excuse myself to the bathroom but instead sneak into some kind of cartoon called Goat. I sit in the back and sob softly until a black teenager notices me and screams “ayo dis gay nigga crine!” and the rest of them start jeering and screaming at me so I rush out. I lock eyes with the chubby teenage girl in the lobby and she looks sad and I imagine she’d be okay with me kidnapping her but I just go back and sit next to my wife in the giant puddle of diet Dr. Pepper. The movie finishes. We leave. Wife immediately puts Hamilton soundtrack back on and scrolls Pinterest. We won’t be discussing the film. No, we won’t be discussing anything. Am I Heathcliff? Am I myself? Am I a person? Am I sure I can keep doing this for one second longer? Tomorrow is Friday, but in reality, everyday is Monday.

@mcuban Orgs that can self host open models on GPUs they own will dominate. Infra is still a core skill. Nvidia comes out the winner. Sysadmins continue to run the world.

This is the smartest counter I’ve seen to ai taking over jobs, in the short term. Is the ((aggregate tokens cost to do what an employee does + plus fully encumbered developer and maintenance costs ) / (fully encumbered employee cost ) )<= productivity ? If it takes 8 Claude agents, at $300 for tokens, per day, plus $200 per day in dev/maint , to do what an employee does per day, at a fully encumbered cost of $1200. That’s 2600/1200. But then you need to factor in the productivity rate. Is it more than 2.16 x productive ? Are there qualitative issues like morale, morality, whatever , that can’t be quantified, that need to go into the decision? What is the going forward progression of burdened costs for the tokens ? Curious what people think about this ?

sf is an extremely walkable city and i will die on this hill

This might have just entered the pantheon of the greatest American speeches of all time. It’s basically hard nosed Trump foreign policy delivered with Reagan’s confidence and optimism.
