@david_attisaas Not everything is about cost. Maybe that’s the only factor for you, but not others.

we witnessed another "iq test" from the x tech community those buying a "mac mini" to run a clawdbot didn't even think for 2 minutes they could run this program on a vps for less than $30 per month

@binarybits To me it’s confusing because the front desk is usually on the way out. So it doesn’t take more than 10 seconds to stop and say your room number.

As a former hotel worker this tweet really irritated me.

@Yuchenj_UW If AI can do all of those things better than humans and it’s still not AGI, what is the concrete test that we should use to determine AGI? Saying “it’s not AGI” but providing no concrete test is not helpful. It just shows fear of being wrong.

Yann is actually right and based here.

@JenSainty You should send emails when it’s convenient for you. The other person should respond when it’s convenient for them. Trying to read people’s mind is a waste of time.

I don’t get the whole argument about needing to schedule emails at certain times; why can’t I send a work email at whatever hour I’m working at? Isn’t it immediately apparent to the receiver that they should ofc only address it whenever they choose to work/during working hours?

@StoicTA This is not true. You can go to thousands of shops around the US that will pay 3-4% under spot. Just call local shops and ask, not that hard.

I'm sitting on 1,000 ounces of silver bars bought physical, did what everyone says to do "Real assets" "Outside the system" "When everything collapses you'll be glad you have it" tried to sell some last week, trying to sell it today refineries won't touch it dealers lowballing 30% under spot banks look at me like I'm selling contraband turns out "owning" something and being able to "exit" something are two very different skills this is the same trap I see in trading people hold positions they can't exit stocks with no volume options with no buyers sitting on "value" that only exists on paper supply & demand lesson learned

@ArapTilingi This is great if you want every parent in the country to suddenly have a child with disabilities.

Parents raising children with disabilities should actually be tax exempted, they go through a lot.

@bonchieredstate It’s because the meaning of jail has changed from “keeping the public safe from this person” to “we need to punish people for their intent”.

I’ll never understand how a murderer being deemed insane justifies letting them go. It’s one of the most nonsensical legalities to ever exist. If someone is so insane they are killing people, they should be locked up even harder.

@ZaidJilani We will see how it plays out. There’s a portion of the population that would rather pay $8k one time than a $99 / mo subscription even though it doesn’t make financial sense. People have an intense hatred towards subscriptions, even if they are cheaper than the alternative.

To summarize: - Elon announces you can no longer buy self driving outright. Only as a subscription. - Then he removes free Autopilot from Teslas. No lane centering-cruise control. Basic feature in cars. - If you want that pay him $99 a month You’ll own nothing and be happy

@amritwt If this isn't fully resolvable in < 15 minutes, you need a new engineering team.

Junior engineer accidentally deletes a production server How does one even recover from this?

@optimistictory If she is financially illiterate, then this is literally the right choice for her.

Wow. A bit criminal that the lottery is allowed to let her do something so financially illiterate:

I can’t wait for when Google makes their AI models worse so you have to query them multiple times to get a correct answer and burn more tokens.

@CarOnPolymarket @polygun_ You need to look closer at this account. That’s not what happened here. Look at the actual trades, not the claims.

This is insane Assuming each trade is a coin-flip with 50% chance to win, the odds of winning 16x in a row is 0.001526% 🤯 If you copy traded this trader with @PolyGun_ with just $12, you would now have $104,000!

@lorden_eth Fastest way to lose all your money.

Anyone can become a millionaire in 3 months You could literally start from $0 Just open Claude and paste this prompt: "Hey, write me a polymarket automated prediction bot''

@elonmusk @xai When will we get a new Grok Code model?

Congrats to the @xAI team and thank you to investors for your faith in our company

@max_spero_ This happened with a Stranger Things market this week. Fake insider pumped the market for 11s death, then dumped on everyone who overbought.

There's gotta be a fun attack where you buy into an unlikely trade to look like an insider, wait for trading bots copy your trade at an increased price, then dump for a profit

@the_smart_ape @Polymarket Why run it on a Pi at all? Seems unnecessary.

My @Polymarket bot is still running on my Raspberry Pi. 2 days ago: 26 trades triggered, 26 wins, 0 losses Now: 42 trades triggered, 42 wins, 0 losses I could change the parameters to increase the number of triggered orders, but that would make it less conservative. At these settings, I believe the bot can never lose, and each trigger guarantees ~1.5%. I could aim for more, but that would mean taking more risk. I prefer a guaranteed 1.5% per trade rather than higher returns with any chance of loss. I’ll keep the bot running until it reaches 200 triggered orders before scaling it with much more capital. In the meantime, I’m building an analysis tool for Polymarket, not a trading bot this time, but an analytics tool that doesn’t exist yet and could be very useful. Will keep you posted!

@nabeelqu The obvious red flag was it was posted to Reddit. Can just disregard straight away.

I'm surprised that so many people, including smart people and journos, fell for the fake viral DoorDash outrage post. So many signs it was implausible and/or AI-generated: • Library wifi? Do you guys know any software engineers who use "library wifi" for opsec reasons? • "Drunk and angry" but perfect spelling and punctuation, short, punchy sentences. • Plenty of em-dashes with no spaces on either side (we will soon lose this obvious tell btw, so enjoy the training wheels while you can) • "we purposefully delayed non-priority orders by 5 or 10 minutes" if you believe any real company in the insanely competitive food delivery space would do this you have no idea how anything works. Let alone "management loved the results" (it didn't hurt any of your KPIs? Really?) • "under a massive NDA" "I hope they sue me" lol • Way too many details that add up to perfect outrage-bait -- "desperation score" (no corporation would actually call it that, they'd use a euphemism); "human assets" (I'm pretty sure they just call them dashers or couriers); •"We generated millions in pure profit" engineers in bigcos do not talk this way. Plenty of other implausible details in there too. Everyone will need to upgrade their personal cogsec for the next few years.

@t_xu Your daily reminder that literally every post on Reddit is AI.

Holy fucking shit is right! This is not DoorDash, and I would fire anyone who promoted or tolerated the kind of culture described in this Reddit post. There’s so much wrong with this post. - Dashers are not “human assets.” - Having a metric like a "Desperation Score” is an abomination. - We’ve never had a “Driver Benefit Fee”. - Why would you charge for faster delivery but not make it faster?? We’re not perfect by *any* stretch of the imagination, but we work every day to make our platform better for everyone who comes to it. What’s described here is appalling, and if true, whoever is operating in this manner should be ashamed.

@wholemars @RobinhoodApp These comments show how far people will go to not contact customer support.

A friend of mine needs to withdraw $400,000 from @RobinhoodApp to close on a house, but is running into Robinhood’s $50k a day / $200k a month transfer limits. Escrow closes in one week. Any advice on what to do?

@reelCheburashka How do people not realize that 99% of Reddit is literally just AI slop. It is all fake stories, fake anecdotes, and bots talking to each other.

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen on Reddit
