@parcadei @tenobrus Go on

why would you expect it to stop? "Xi sleeping at the wheel" is only a conclusion you only arrive at by reasoning about China from a Western alignment/safety frame once you understand how China views technology, you'll see that this is just one part of their long term strategy for the next 5 years

registering confusion: i don't really understand why Xi is still allowing Kimi to release such powerful open models. this is something i've publicly said i expect to stop soon. it doesn't make sense to me that the CCP would want open frontier capability easily available to other countries. it could still be that Xi is asleep at the wheel, or that K3 is just a cycle of capability behind where they start to take serious notice. but if things don't change soon then i'm just wrong / missing something.

@escapefrommelos I'm not much for puns

every day i'm more and more convinced that normies are not "Sentient" in the strictest sense of the word

@chrislakin I would simply lever up the bottom line

what your risk-aversion costs you

@staysaasy "Given your interest in <thing I mentioned one time that is irrelevant to this conversation>, this is right up your alley"

One thing I hate about Claude/gemini/chatgpt with memory turned on is that it heavily over indexes on the stuff it knows about me. It’s liken having an awkward coworker that you talked to once about deadlifting and then every time you see them they just keep brining that up. You’ll be asking Claude about revenue recognition rules and it’s like “think of this as pull day for your accounting team.” Leave me alone 🤣

@PhilShteuck @cosmiclibe57707 @BraedendotTECH Yes it does dickhead

@cosmiclibe57707 @BraedendotTECH The delivery doesn't change the content 🤣

I'm 33 and I think Claude Code is melting my brain. For 6 months straight I've had 5-6 terminals open at once, waiting on responses just to smash "enter" 90% of the time. That's the whole job now. And it's doing something to me. A few friends and I keep circling back to the same thing in conversations: none of us feel as sharp as we used to. Maybe it's just us. But I keep wondering how many other people in their 30s feel it too. (And yeah: this is a me problem, how I lean on the tool, not the tool itself. Doesn't make the effect any less real.)

@quantbeckman why are there so many people writing whole papers treating vix as a tradeable asset.. these people are presumably getting masters degrees or phds why is the bar so low

The four-asset dataset is described as AGG, DBC, VIX, and VTI. AGG, DBC, and VTI are tradable exchange-traded products, while the VIX itself is an index. An investor cant earn the daily spot return of the VIX by buying or shorting it. So the ETF experiment may include returns that could never have been obtained by an actual portfolio.

@64bitmodeling @paleonormie You don't understand social dynamics

@paleonormie I don't see why anyone should care, at all, what someone else wants to consume. The ease of group compliance is not relevant.

I don't really understand the hangup about ordering 1 light beer out of politeness, If you have health concerns and/or you don't like getting drunk you're in luck because there just isn't that much alcohol in one Mich Ultra

@pli_cachete Some of DFW's work involves intentional tedium to put you in a certain mental state

I’m interested in the idea of art that is actively hostile to its audience. Something that is deliberately not satisfying / intentionally makes you miserable or tries to get you to stop consuming it. The game Pathologic sort of works because the jank and tedium and unfairness makes you miserable. You have to be bored and miserable to connect with the endings. The book Sadly, Porn is also like this. There author literally says at the beginning is actively trying to discourage you from reading the book before hitting you with a 20 page long footnote about bizarre sexual habits. What else is like this?

@restocc @mil000 iykyk

@mil000 what the box emoji bro

they know me at this Peet’s as the guy who orders 4 items for $5.03 and somehow eats it all in 1 sitting

@dumbbitchcap @Indian_Bronson What brand

Recently I bought a pack of mixed gummies. I found myself always reaching for the sour ones, searching for them. Eating a non sour gummy almost felt like a chore. At the end of the bag that’s all that was left. I didn’t even want to finish. This time I opted to buy a pack of sour only gummies. But the truth is I found that I missed the boring old non sour gummies. They cleanse the pallet a bit and force you to appreciate the sour ones a little more. Makes you think about life to be honest

@usutav Idk why people can't be honest with themselves about this, anyone who's done both know that they engage the mind very differently

In 19th century Britain, when 1/3 of men & 1/2 of women were still illiterate, it was common for people to „read“ exactly like this. They'd have one literate man read to a group of labourers after the workday. Notice how when this period is spoken of, we say people couldn't read?

@coldhealing meme cargo culting

This is like posting "there are cathedrals everywhere" with a photo of you in front of a cathedral

@IoannesTertius @kunley_drukpa Well America has a lot of third world immigrants

@kunley_drukpa A lot of places in America look like this too, it's not just a third-world thing.

Lots of features in this room that are typical of interiors in non-western houses ie in Latin America, Africa, Asia etc. Really interesting why this ‘look’ replicates so often worldwide - part of it is costs but also it does represent real aesthetic and cultural preferences

@JeremiahDJohns @favelaoverlord You're right on the surface level but it comes in the context of progressive politicians continually asking normal middle class people to take one on the chin for the unlimited benefit of antisocial poors. The trust isn't there to read that as just a polite community reuqest

This is fascinating to me, because beyond the surface level it illuminates why conservatives are often so full of shit. The baseline here is that there's a heatwave, and Mamdani asked New Yorkers to adjust their thermostats to help the grid. This is regular practice in red and blue areas of the country. Daniel posts a defiant "I'm not gonna do what mommy tells me!" style post. He surely thinks he's a very clever boy here. Now if the message is "This is a free country, and I love my AC, and by god it's my house and no government bureaucrat can force me to change", then fine. Sure. But there is no law being proposed here. No police are bursting down your door demanding to check your thermostat. It's a request from a community leader, a polite ask that you engage in a very small pro-social sacrifice. You would think conservatives would understand the idea that local communities should pull together in times of need. For the 'common good', perhaps. You'd think. And that they'd be happy if no government force was involved, if they could act merely because they had strong moral character and believed in private charitable action. "Nobody should ever ask anyone to sacrifice for the common good, even if it's just a polite request" is just dipshit nihilism. But I suspect Daniel doesn't actually believe in those conservative ideas. Or if he does, they're a distant second to the true guiding star of conservative thought: owning the libs. Given the chance to help people or own the libs, conservatives will always own the libs. Given the chance to demonstrate strong principles or own the libs, they'll always abandon the principle to own the libs. The actual philosophy of the right is merely "We hate the left". And it's sad.

@joannejang Tits?

she's korean, 5' 6", went to stanford, hot, fluent in chinese korean and english, newly single

hi @elonmusk if my very hot & smart friend wants to have a baby with you how should she get in contact?

@minordissent Seems like a popular opinion on my twitter

Unpopular opinion: this is white Faustianism and a good thing (even if they are 100 IQ)

@HoytEmerson would you rather be fletched or do the fletching

Fletch is a simple CLI tool that uses ADBC to move data from one data system to another. You can easily transfer data from a Postgres database into local DuckDB or over to BigQuery for example. Arrow makes it all possible. github.com/early-signal-t…

@tszzl @apralky @gigantictur According to his biography, the cyber truck is the first time elons aesthetic vision was realized fully, hes got some long term guy there who was more responsible for the look of previous cars

@apralky @gigantictur the Tesla cars were tasteful and well designed when they came out. same with the SpaceX aesthetic. everyone gets old

If taste really is so important, how come the richest person in the world has so little of it? Is it that taste is just extremely multimodal, or that it’s so negatively correlated with conventional success-seeking that despite being net helpful it’s actually selected against? 🤔
