@KokoMikel2 @depressionlesss Mine too, a dozen years back! The black kitty (Root) was very defensive of her sister (Pepper). They spent all of their time together.

@depressionlesss That what happened to me too - 12 yrs ago. 🥰

A guy wanted to adopt a cat, but he wouldn't leave his brother's side, so he had to take both of them 🥹

It’s easy to work from an engineer’s personal passion outward. Generic small talk is noisy. People send confusing signals with mirroring, people pleasing, affiliation signaling, status calibration, …

@kepano I've wondered: Does marking a post "not interested" contribute to relevancy scoring on a broad scale? Or does my act only inform X's choice of what I'll see next?

engagement-bait accounts love to weaponize Cunningham’s law: "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is to post the wrong answer" it's a lose-lose for the target because if you don't reply it allows misinformation to spread, if you do reply it boosts the post

it kind of sucks that working out, eating healthy, and sleeping well solves like 90% of mental health issues. like i wish it was all bs and there was some big esoteric reason for and solution to it all but no it's basically just Not Abusing Your Body

@readswithravi It’s a great quote, but not Nietzsche. quoteinvestigator.com/2025/08/03/bor…

This sentence by Nietzsche hits hard: “I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.”

if you're so smart why aren't you having fun

@Jason @NYCMayor How did he decide which tax payer to doxx like this? Is this random or revenge?

@NYCMayor Don't worry folks, after he drives everyone with homes over $5m in nyc out, he will lower the extra tax to $2m homes... then $4,000+ rents... and he won't stop until the death spiral is complete.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

@seevua Amusing to watch, but we sometimes say it’s “a solution in search of a problem.”

@cmb @Jason It would be helpful if it didn’t repeat links though. On mobile, we can’t hover over links to see the destination and X doesn’t visually differentiate already-visited links. I stopped trusting these links after a few articles appeared repeatedly.

@Jason The link for each word to multiple articles so its not biased is awesome

Today I learned: The worm (larva) in some mezcal bottles (not tequila) was never a Mexican tradition. It was done as a gimmick, mostly for American tourists!

@Sachsenblut @yifever Yes, and flatter land.

@yifever Best tsunami protection? My autocorrect almost had me type "tuna protection"...

half of the entire Japanese population live in the red line. take a guess why

@Codie_Sanchez Useful framing, but missing the number 1: People judgement. Hire people who aren’t receptive to the mission, or who can’t execute? Then nothing in that list matters.

I’m convinced 90% of the founders job is to just do 3 things: - be delusional in your optimism - push everyone to move faster - make it crystal clear what to work on

@tunabelly I see the 120s option in the newest update. Thank you so much! I'm experimenting, and it's doing a nice job with GPU-hungry 3D apps. The fans don't spike so noisily, or as often.

@mcgroarty Thanks for reaching out and the suggestion! Yes, this is certainly something we can add, and we'll try and get this into the next update so there's a bigger range to choose from. If you have any other ideas, please feel free to send them over anytime!

@tunabelly Would it be feasible to allow TG Pro "Auto Max" "Auto Boost Gradual Time" settings longer than 1 minute? Some models have enough thermal mass that lower speeds can get the job done, but not in under a minute.

@AmazonHelp If anyone else is bothered by this, you can use uBlock Origin to keep Rufus hidden: pastebin.com/tk6uVmif

@AmazonHelp I DM'd you a video clip demonstrating the problem. Please share with the team if you can.

Some AI agents aren't just bad, they're insultingly bad. I get this itch to close the @Amazon tab whenever the "Rufus" sidebar invades, and there's no option to disable it.

@pmarca I’ve learned a lot from the template “Give me the strongest cases for and against the proposition that ___, then tell me which is stronger.”

I do this all the time now. Works very well.

@Junkman_app I appreciate the response. That’s an Apple limitation?

@mcgroarty Unfortunately no. You can disable Smart Filter’s transaction filtering but those categories will always show up on Messages app even if they are empty.

@Junkman_app Is there a way to enable Junkman spam filtering without enabling “Transactions” and “Promotions?” I’d love a way to only have “Messages” and “Spam” without the others.

@repligate When criticism is a mode of being, it's not a means to any end. If a behavior isn't instrumentally rational, it can't be countered with reason or incentives. The appropriate response is a conversational probe to see if it's calcified, and disengagement if it is.

I met Nick Land a few weeks ago. He mentioned that many people in his circles were anti-LLMs. Someone asked why he thought so many people were. His answer was better than anything so short I thought of: “People like to exist critically with respect to something.” This I think accurately characterizes a lot of people whose outputs and inputs primarily consist of “discourse” about rather than direct contact with the reality at hand. Existing critically with respect to something makes it easy to seem cool, sophisticated, above something, hard-to-impress and therefore worth trying to impress, especially to others who also don’t have contact with the phenomena itself. And for that reason I think it’s cheap. And to someone who has an inside view of what is being discussed, it’s always so transparent and boring and compressible. I’m far more impressed by someone who is capable of loving something and showing others why it’s beautiful or good. Doesn’t have to be LLMs, but anything at all.

Saying "this is beautiful, here's why" is genuinely more vulnerable than saying "this is overrated."
