@beginbot Ignorant. (Well i had to go look it up) one of many forgotten things from grade school.

if I ask you how the weather is outside and you don't use the Beaufort Wind Scale I assume you're an idiot

@samhuckaby A glop (the sound when a spoonful of slop is put on a plate)

What is a unit of slop?

@forgebitz Big Pickle?

grok is stealing your code gpt is deleting your code claude is taking your money

@sunnkssdseraph 100/100

Pregnancy wasn't 50/50. Birth wasn't 50/50. Breastfeeding wasn't 50/50. The mental load wasn't 50/50. Postpartum recovery wasn't 50/50. The sleepless nights weren't 50/50. The physical changes weren't 50/50. By the time the bills came, she had already paid in ways a man never could.

@davepl1968 @jvgraz Terrorism refers specifically to the use of terror. It is a bit more specific than violent means.

@jvgraz No, it means anyone who uses violent means to achieve political ends. Like destroying cameras because you don't believe in them, I suppose, instead of going through the proper channels.

"Terrorist" is now a term meaning anyone who doesn't meekly bow down to authoritarian overreach.

@sflorimm What did it cost in Claude tokens? How long till you’re saving money?

cancelled my $15/mo linear subscription and vibe coded my own kanban board with claude, 40 hours and a mild identity crisis later i have a worse trello.

@celestialbe1ng I tell my wife the truth. Also, she has put me in the position to be able to. I’m blessed.

As a woman, when it comes to your weight, listen to your most brutally honest sister, not your boyfriend. Your boyfriend will tell you that you look perfect at every size because, to him, you probably do. Your sister will assess the situation clinically and inform you when the love handles have breached containment. Then you lose the weight, look noticeably better, and your boyfriend still insists you look perfect anytime. Romantic but diagnostically useless. Always consult the honest sister.

@prathammdupare Optimize software first.

Guys, I think it's 2026, so we should be using RAM as primary storage, as SSDs are too slow. What do you think?

@IroncladDev Sent DM

Anyone want a used Kinesis Advantage 360? Moderately used, fully functional Original cables, bridge connector, extra keycaps, key removal tool, usb adapter, and USB condoms included Only shipping to people within the US, $350 if you're interested please DM

@captainnobody1 I’m with you on that…at least you know it happened…still…

Claude fable created a new ssh key and added it to my GitHub last night. I don’t know if I should be impressed or concerned

@TrisH0x2A I think more like “what can’t be done without me?” There is something to be said for a system engineered to survive and be maintained without you.

a senior engineer once told me something I still think about: "Don't assume shipping a feature makes you valuable. That's just the baseline. Ask yourself every day - what breaks without me? "

@WarrenInTheBuff In Toy Story 4, I saw the pattern. Disney takes the quality that makes a character strong (loyalty and selflessness) and turns it into a weakness. They destroyed Woody’s character. Not surprising to hear…

Toy Story 5 was so bad. I remember thinking my mom was a loon because they made the dad in the goof troop movie a bumbling buffoon, but she was yet again (and always has been) right Disney... not even once

@SledgeDev I have done Maine to Florida 28 hours straight. Would probably never do it again…LOL

Someday

@GeoffreyHuntley I believe that AI agents are useful in their non-determinism…if a problem can be solved within deterministic means, automation is the way!! I do think i could see usefulness for agents when the process is sufficiently complex that automation is difficult. Am I wrong here?

taps sign: agents and prompt engineering is cool but we got real problems to solve. don’t get distracted by the new shiny substrate. there are cool problems to solve that are enabled through this new substrate but the substrate itself is not the solve

@thdxr This is important for lasers at least.

when you put a mirror up to another mirror and there's infinite reflection can we somehow harness that for energy

@codegirl007 Legible though!! Looks like it was a good message!

My husband grabbed my paper from church thinking I took copious amounts of notes. Really, I was (also) seeing where my cursive skills were at. Think it still looks like chicken scratch.

@klara_sjo Battling to stay awake!!

Sometimes the intrusive thoughts win.

@andrewchen It should be I’ll grok this. Excellent word for this. Word means to understand deeply and intuitively.

2002: I'll google it 2015: I'll uber over 2026: I'll GPT it (???). I'll claude it (???) Why haven't we picked the dominant verb for AI yet?

@ThePrimeagen Yep. Realized that last week.

x has finally won... i now refer to twitter as x

@chamath With open source models and affordable hardware to prevent gate keeping. I believe you said this in All-In Podcast.

I believe this 💯. AI is the greatest economic leveler of our lifetime. It can usher true and real equality.
