@theo @vazuzu_varun @shadcn lol says Mr Engagement bait himself

@vazuzu_varun @shadcn He about to engagement bait himself into a legal case that costs him everything

Hey @shadcn, happy to set you up with my lawyers and cover costs if you want to C&D this guy. Absolutely obnoxious behavior on his part. Not sure there's any other path that will work with trash like him sadly.

@TheKanehB It’s very different to send a few tiny characters in plain text over HF than gigabit encrypted TCP connections over 5G

How did pagers have service absolutely everywhere before cell towers? There were no dead zones w the beeper and no towers. What happened to that tech?

@EuTiaK So obviously AI

@SandyofCthulhu He is a billionaire running a gaming distribution monopoly.. I don’t dislike the guy, I just.. don’t get why everyone loves him/Valve. If any other company was in their position people would lose their minds

Gabe Newell owns the majority share in Steam. Now, I know Newell somewhat. We've met. We've talked. He's not a close friend by any means. But it is by his will and genius that Steam is the way it is - a triumph of good guy capitalism. A great site for finding games, with cheap prices, frequent sales. Well ... I don't need to praise it here. You guys all know about it. When Newell passes away, it's unclear what will happen with Steam. Doubtless his shares will go to his family. Will they continue his vision? Or will they sell out to one of the many circling sharks who have been trying to buy it for years? What will happen if the sharks DO get their teeth into Steam? I believe that in that case Steam will go to hell in a handbasket. Owned by men in suits who don't give a sh*t about quality or the consumer. Probably it will become a subscription service or worse. If it gets sold to a horror show like Electronic Arts or Disney it'll be a nightmare. The only mitigating feature is that a different service might arise, but it will need to fight the rotting lumbering corpse of Steam to establish itself. I am content that since I am several years older than Gabe, it is plausible that I won't live to see this terrible day. But you might. Gabe Newell, to me, is literally barring the gates to Hell for us all.

@nonnygentle007 @luxemiaa “I’m such a nice guy why do women hate me” - You, probably

@luxemiaa Very nasty ... Some things are meant to be private

One time I was at work and realized I didn’t have a pad. I asked my coworker if she had one. She handed me one, I thanked her, and went to the bathroom. A few seconds after putting it on, I felt something I had never experienced in my life. It felt like my vagina was taking deep breaths. There was a sudden cool, tingling sensation that had me standing in the stall questioning every life choice that led me to that moment. I marched back to my desk and asked my coworker, “What is wrong with your pads? Why does it feel like my vagina is breathing?” She looked horrified. Then she remembered that a.........

@davepl1968 Really noisy background tasks killed it for me, you’d be sitting at the desktop and your hard drive would be whirring away like you’re defragging or something, it was nuts

I didn't work on Vista, so here's my hot take: Vista was great. But it sucked on XP hardware, so it got a bad rap from people upgrading older PCs. On then-current hardware, it was really nice and visually elegant!

@JayzTwoCents Interesting framing, I’m suspicious of the motivations here

@Cloudflare never. because DNS doesn't propagate. Stop saying it does, it's misnomer. Teach people to understand TTL expiry.

DNS propagation can test your patience. What is the longest you have ever waited for a DNS change to propagate globally? #CloudflareChat

@theblessedsalt Do you even understand our geography?

@shikhr_ @sama I use the em-dash and have done go decades :(

@sama Don't use ChatGPT to write your tweets man

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

@beyond_fps @MarkoGa63616509 So instead of being smug, why don’t you explain what changed in windows 11?

@MarkoGa63616509 the gains at 4K are bigger than at 1080p

Wait how is this possible? Twitter experts are 24/7 saying that Windows 11 is a bloated, unusable garbage full of AI slop

@offdxan No, this is why you quit.

@sherkelman They couldn’t get ARM so they’re going after x86, scary times ahead.

Depends upon the details, however, AMDs free ride in the APU space for the past ~eight years might be over soon. If Intel/NV figure out backwards compatibility game consoles could also be a target but have low margin/high wafer volume so probably not a first priority.

@ByrdJames37364 @ProjectLincoln no, just one.

@ProjectLincoln Funny how that works

Fellas, is this good?

@TheGladiatorHC remind me who suggested a profits tax to help do exactly this?

🇦🇺 $20,000,000,000,000 worth of natural resources for a population of only 27M people. That's $740,000,000 per household. We should be the richest people on planet earth.

@nowteslafy @ZacksJerryRig "Tesla Community" -- that's the actual issue here. The company doesn't care about "the community", no big company does. Tesla has been ruined by one person and one person only, their CEO.

@ZacksJerryRig You give yourself too much credit for having an effect on one of the most important companies in our history. Your takes are all for selfish promotion and engagement (you got me) but at the sacrifice of your credibility, especially with the Tesla community. Let’s see how it ages.

blaming 3 youtubers for the entire fall of $TSLA is wild. The stock was down 50% before my video even went live. 😂 you sure its not the roman salute? the 10 years of failed FSD promises? where's the Roadster? why are the cybertruck's panels glued on? The ship is sinking, the captain has fled, the crew has sold, and im just watchin. (I woulda retweeted the dude but he has me blocked.)

@rigerby @AmyRemeikis let me google that for you: Decolonising lactation care to support the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding among First Nations women

Temu Trumps, Trumping away

@joebarnard @DrChrisCombs Whilst I agree with your sentiment, I also understand the animosity— SpaceX employees seem to be parachuting into quite a few of Elons “doge” shit shows (FAA, etc). As long as he uses the company as his own personal workforce, people will blame them, rightly or wrongly.

@DrChrisCombs Everyone I’ve met on the Starship program is genuinely trying their best to do something new and difficult. If someone was relentlessly making fun of my work like this, I know it would hurt. They’ve got work to do, but maybe dial it back a bit

NEXT STOP: MARS

@Luck0wskY @amdradeon Yup.

@amdradeon Hmmm...

What's better than a new AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPU? One personally signed by AMD CEO, Lisa Su. To celebrate the launch of the Radeon RX 9000 Series, we're giving away 5 GPUs to 5 lucky winners. Two of the winners will be surprised with a signed GPU. Want in? Enter here: bit.ly/4i70Bfa Entries close on March 13th.

@AlexandruC4 He’s a deeply insecure person who is desperate to be the most popular guy in the room. He got way more “love” when he started saying ignorant shit. That kind of praise is addictive as fuck.

Wtf happened to him in the last 3 years?
