@rachcorrine Shorts are never business casual!

SHORT GUIDE FOR GUYS + 3 looks I like (bookmark this). When buying shorts, forget trends. 5” inseam isn’t better than 7” isn’t better than 9”. You need to consider your height, leg length, and build. SOME GENERAL GUIDELINES: 5” inseam Best for men under about 5’10” or those with shorter legs. Creates the appearance of longer legs. Can feel too short in business-casual settings :))))) 7” inseam (sweet spot for most guys) Works for roughly 5’9”–6’2”. Usually lands 2–4 inches above the kneecap. Versatile enough for almost everyone. 9” inseam Better for men over 6’2”, men with very longggggg legs, or those who simply prefer more coverage. Should still finish above the knee. Avoid if it reaches or covers the kneecap. Use the kneecap, not the inseam as your reference. The inseam number is less important than where the hem lands on your body. Aim for: 2–4 inches above the kneecap: Modern. 1–2 inches above the kneecap: More classic. At or below the kneecap: you’re in jort territory. Which. I’m not going to tell you what to do. But men in jorts. Ick. A good pair should sit: At or just below your natural waist… (closer to your belly button). Easy looks: with a long sleeve linen button up. A casual street style look (with a tee), or with a knit polo. Hate the sandals in first pic. Swap for brown suede loafers.

I do not care about the perspective held by a candidate when they worked for their high school newspaper.

Wikipedia becoming a marketing platform for local elections is a disease. So many superfluous quotes and resume packing.

@Kazanjy Every finish line is a starting gun. Even more so in startups

Founders: Post-verbal agreement, maintain momentum: - Send contract same day - Schedule kick-off call - Intro to implementation team Treat 'yes' as the starting line, not the finish line. Speed reduces deal risk.

@Muinchille @StevenGlinert I don’t understand you claim to have studied this but can’t produce any verifiable data? You “did the work”? Let’s just see that work!

@StevenGlinert But we do. You don't have a clue. We even made Hitler pay for the damage his planes did to a synagogue.

Proportionately, Ireland took in more Jews than Britain or America, but we found that Germany and the European states would grant exit visas for them much more readily if we called them "stateless persons", and not Jews. But this buck eejit...

@joinshiftX Shift

Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free. Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing. In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed. By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services. Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way. Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

Github's constant outages become a lot more understandable when you realize the engineers there probably have to use Copilot.

Sigh...

@nikillinit Workflows are more niche than expected, and companies lack the ability to make the workflows rigorous themselves. I'm not shocked OpenAI wants to find more effective ways to distribute AI. My biggest reaction is how not a "feel the agi" move this is

what happens to all of the companies applications for enterprises on top of the foundation models? Genuinely trying to understand when an enterprise would choose the foundation models straight vs. a company that offers a specific solution using multiple models underneath

@vxunderground Bloomberg is reporting it to be fair

now that we have Images 2.0 ill never need to pay to remove a watermark again.

Having spectrum internet is crazy because now it’s like the entire internet has only one 9 of uptime.

@pmarca Yes but they only need to be paid infinity once to make up for it.

New AGI pricing tier just dropped: negative $9 million if you're one of 11 specific companies; infinity otherwise.

@ctjlewis The use case is on replying to things you don't like on Twitter and tagging it with "Slop?" v similar to grok

Extremely boring type of guy who dedicates his life to go after kids having LLMs write their essays. Those evil bastards! You’ll never get away with it! Who cares, man? Have you ever heard of Mr Swirl?

Let me spell it out a bit more clearly: Imagine we have a sample of anonymous postings, and we want to measure how likely it was to be written by a known person. There’s probably unsolved cyber crimes that Pangram could solve, like this year. But they have these blinders on.

Claude aggressively recommending its own models... An agent I wrote uses Gemini or GPT and an "Issue" Claude Code flagged is that it doesn't support Anthropic models. Like What? Separately Claude assumed my Anthropic Api key was wrong in openClaw. I was using OpenAI

@Noahpinion It can win the humanoid robotics race instead

If Tesla doesn't win the robotaxi race, I think it's cooked.

@HighyieldHarry They are gonna start rolling this out on the super high value queries first though. "Research the best toasters on the market, I have abc preferences" - that is someone who is gonna buy a toaster. Wonder what Amazon charges for their ads.

I thought this would be < $10 CPM to start, this is crazy work to try out of the gates. Meta has unreal targeting and CPMs are $6-$9 over there.

Lmao. Ya let me run $60 CPMs to an audience too nitpicky to even pay for ChatGPT.

@HighyieldHarry How much of this is owing to Bo Nix injury. The narrative is completely different if both young QBs are playing. Instead it *feels* like a forgone conclusion (yes i hope i eat those words)

Crazy how little chemistry the Taipei free solo commentators have. Its like they took people who have never had a conversation before and made sure they knew nothing about climbing.

Tire Swing was Preordained
