@james_xond sure easy

If someone paid you $20,000 to not have a single drop of alcohol for a year, would you do it?

@chicfryrice what was the smell

I stayed in NYC and the hotel had the most amazing smell. I kept commenting to my friend “it smells so amazing” “omg what is that smell.” I did research and found out the smell was created in house and they put into the HVAC system so the entire hotel smelled of deliciousness. Anyways I did more research and found a company who replicates hotel smells and bought the smell from them. So now my home smells like the hotel and I feel joy.

@phosphenq “guaranteed”

this trader made $1M on polymarket doing the most boring thing possible Anjun buys YES at 99.9¢ on markets that will obviously resolve YES makes 0.1¢ per share but buys 200,000 shares at once $202,000 position → $200 profit sounds terrible right? except he does this 10 times per day $2,000 daily $60,000 monthly $1M in under 2 years while you're trying to predict elections and find "alpha" he's just farming guaranteed 0.1-1% edges with massive size the strategy: find 99%+ certain outcomes, buy everything, wait for resolution if you have $100k sitting around doing nothing this prints $100-300 per day risk-free check him: @Anjun?via=520" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@Anjun?via=520

the lesson this year is not actually to build building products is over everyone can build products build for yourself but now the game is just distribution

@HeathLerr @Bigqadi still not completely random my friend

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi the husband’s genes, recessive genes, the combination of the two, nutrition, lifestyle, orthodontics etc. A child could end up being beautiful despite the looks of their parents

whenever i see transformations like this i always think about how changing your face this much has to give you severe psychological issues right?

@ColinApaa @Bigqadi their parents are eventually an ancestor lmao

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi Also, “this necessarily decreases the odds” isn’t true. Cosmetic surgery doesn’t change your genes, so it doesn’t reduce the odds of a child looking like their ancestors. The genetics stay the same, only the parent’s appearance changes.

@balajis i see a world post software as a product, you just have a device that has an llm, you say what you want to do, it builds it and then you use the custom software, similar to what you see, social networks would become something like rss feeds with personally tuned algorithms

PERSONAL PRIVATE PROGRAMMABLE I’ve been thinking more about the intersection of Claude Code and Obsidian. There is an upcoming tech stack here that I’m calling personal private programmable. Here’s a sketch of the idea. First, if you squint ahead a few months, we will likely have open weight AI models that work as well as Claude Code does today, and that can handle the context that Google Gemini does. We also already have many different kinds of file types that can be exported out of apps, from markdown files (like Obsidian) to git repos to mbox files (from email) to all the miscellaneous file types you store online or on disk. The open weight AI models can do a lot if they can see all these different data types at once. Finally, we have hundreds of millions of local crypto wallets, and scaled crypto name systems like ENS (Ethereum Name System) and SNS (Solana Name System). These give us tools for working with encrypted data, keys, and identity. So if you put all that together, the personal data becomes far more programmable (with local AI) and yet also more private (because it’s being computed on locally). And if you have a local crypto wallet, you can also encrypt some or all of your personal data and transmit it to another ENS/SNS name, such that you can collaborate with them in an end-to-end encrypted way. There are many networking details to be worked out regarding secure synchronization of packets between different ENS/SNS names across different machines, and you might need some kind of private cloud like Gitlab to really make it work depending on the application (because pure p2p is hard). Nevertheless, the Claude/Obsidian trend points at a powerful emerging concept where it’s now *better* to redecentralize and keep all your data local. Because local data is easier to encrypt with crypto and compute on with local AI. Thus: the personal becomes private and programmable.

@enhatrify @Bigqadi nah

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi Who cares they did this for their face the kids didn’t go through 3 months of recovery they can buy their own face. This argument so dumb because plenty of parents look nothing like their kids

@ColinApaa @Bigqadi but all kids look something like there ancestors, and this necessarily decreases the odds of this occurring

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi Every time I see that “your kids won’t look like you” argument as a deterrent to surgery, I’m genuinely lost. Not all kids look like their parents and that’s completely normal. Genetics aren’t a photocopier.

i bought those balls that stick on the ceiling but they are too sticky they don’t fall

maybe not

@DatRealGoomba @Bigqadi why would i

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi Do you feel the same when people race mix? Especially with africans?

@Mari55430517 @Bigqadi i’m confused

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi This is why I think many of them date interracially...

@Ec3cool @Bigqadi i saw that article!

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi Some dude in china sued his wife for that very reason!! Kid turned out ugly and the wife was good looking lol

@lios10110 @Bigqadi but they look like the ppl that would?

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi these people wont have children lmao

@noteamho @Bigqadi true

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi and how upsetting and damaging it would be for the child to look exactly like the parent’s former face they’d never believe them when their parent tells them they’re beautiful

@iLoveSoxStompMe @Bigqadi but what if those features aren’t heritable…

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi just marry someone with good features and pray for RNG. if it doesn’t work then ur kids can get surgery too and repeat the cycle

@HeathLerr @Bigqadi it’s really not?

@jonathanwilson @Bigqadi the look of your children is a lottery anyway, and who cares

@leevalueroach @Fink_Money @elonmusk just block them?

@Fink_Money @elonmusk I would pay an infinite amount of money to not see their dumb zoomed in charts

Please @elonmusk can you just ban this account?
