I would do anything for my kids. Except move back to the city for their education.

@Larryjamieson_ would have to cross reference this list with tax codes. But possible New Zealand based on this?

Assuming the changes to CGT go through, what do you plan to change with your investments and/or your tax residency?

@T00tbeer @JonahLupton maybe when i double my dosage my brain will function well enough to realise this on my own. Thanks for the advice

@michael_timbs @JonahLupton just steal creatine idiot

Been trying the whole “2g of creatine for every 1 lb of body weight” thing for a month now and I’ve never felt worse. How do you guys do it. It’s also like $1000 a week of creatine.

@Coach_B_Fitness sorry coach

@michael_timbs Wait you’re not injecting it?? There’s your problem!

@JonahLupton I’ll put more effort in stealing catalytic converters to help get me there

@michael_timbs You should be spending $2k per week on creatine in order to see any results.

@TheDilemmaLama People been calling me “the data center” because of all the water retention

@michael_timbs Your water retention is the reason for the drought we are experiencing.

@ZacCrippen That actually makes more sense. Thank you

@michael_timbs It's because you reversed the proportions. It's 1 pound of creatine for every 2 grams of body weight.

DHHs take here is understandable because he writes RoR mostly. Classes are effectively types in that model. You can go to the class definition to understand the data structure. I’d also wager most of his method arguments are primitives. Types make a lot more sense when your building blocks are functions and structs and you otherwise have absolutely no way of knowing what a piece of data you’re given is.

@GergelyOrosz Watching senior principal engineers spend a quarter building internal AI benchmarking and harnesses and wondering at the enormous opportunity cost of diverting those resources. It’d want to pay dividends

I've yet to see, or hear of a company that is winning against its competition, because said company is spending more on AI tools, or using it better than the competition. Ways I see companies win: - better product - better marketing - cheaper prices - better unit economic - more funds raised etc

The enhanced athletes can’t beat world records for the same reason you can’t program even with a Claude Max plan.

If AI can build any SaaS product in a day/week/month then the opportunity cost of doing so is so high that you’d still be better off just paying for it.

Everyone wants a team or 10x engineers until the model train budget swallows all free cashflow

REST is one of the greatest abstractions we’ve ever built and MFs still went and adopted GraphQL. Just shows how unserious this profession is

@beyoumf Lachlan

gun to your head name an australian

@jorge_coronaa @lior_eth 70 year olds well known for blowing up their life trying to be 60 again

@michael_timbs @lior_eth Yeah this will be comparable to saying that, at the age of seventy you feel almost as good as 60

What the Enhanced Games have shown in real time: 1) everyone is already enhanced. Thor couldn’t even improve his deadlift by >1%. Either steroids are useless or he was already juiced to the gills. 2) enhancement without star athletes is kind of sad? “This 44 year old swimmer almost beat his personal best from 10 years ago!” is not a great look lol. 3) people are drawn to sports, particularly when the idea of performance & enhancement is not taboo. For the first event, I think it’s going well. Will be cool to see this thing grow.

watched a webinar this morning from a company showing off how they 3x their output from coding agents and all I could see the whole time was cards like this everywhere

Are people expecting young athletes in their prime to compete here and ruin Olympic chances? If anything it just shows you how devastating age and retirement are. Even with all those drugs and special swim suits he couldn’t reverse the clock

Actually tempted to move to API billing for coding models. I want to see the exact dollar value of any work to know whether it was worth doing or not. If a feature isnt worth paying an AI to build then its not worth building. I also have some strange dynamic where I feel like i have to maximise usage because im paying for it so i'll get AI to do shit that doesnt really need to be done for the sake of fake productivity feelings. Maybe some weeks ill spend $100 but others i'll spend $0.
