@ChShersh register size_t i 😬 😂

It was a good post

@tunguz This is why I studied Philosophy in undergrad.

just major in anything you like. colleges are just for the experience anyway. they have always been very loosely aligned with any kind of professional long term goals. now they are completely decoupled.

Just sent this to investors to justify my Claude bill

@bscholl Starlink

What co-brand should we do on Overture?

@tunguz 💯 The most recent For You algo change completely destroyed my feed which used to feature a broad set of interesting posts by interesting (to me) people. It is now dominated by ads and @elonmusk and posts from a mode collapsed algorithm.

Yup

Right? First Dept of War made Claude a supply chain risk. Now Bernie gets Claude to declare itself an existential risk. 🤦

Right? 🤣🤣🤣

@infantrydort 💯 1) what's the point of having 4 stars? 2) B-52, C-130, KC-135, CH-47 call BS

Anyone who claims the A10 needs to be retired obviously hasn't been in a ground firefight and needed them. There are few things more depressing than a gun run from any other platform. Don't @ me about obsolescence. Everything is "obsolete" if conditions aren't set.

@MCCCANM @johnkonrad @CENTCOM Current admin is crushing OpSec 🇺🇲

@johnkonrad @CENTCOM Everyone is looking for “Objectives” or “End State” & I’m trying to say we (civilians) don’t know, as telling us tells Iran. They know. They aren’t going to say. That doesn’t mean they are just bombing with no plan or timetable. I don’t know if the plan is good, but it exists.

You have no idea the number of doomsday posts on my shopping feeds. Look. You can call me a Trump whatever. What you can’t say is I was in favor of this war. I’m on record saying for years that we should bulldoze @CENTCOM to prevent another Middle East war. For YEARS I’ve been posting about the difficulties of securing choke points. Especially this choke point. I was the first major promoter of a new Battleship because I thought destroyers weren’t big enough for the job I have probably posted more than just about anyone about how crappy our LCS ships are and troubles with the minesweeper modules I know about deep strategy and tactical problems the MSM hasn’t even found yet I was the first to go on a major podcast and say the strait can’t reopen without marines I said from day one the allies can’t help us Was the first here to call out the insurance problem and explain why shipowners won’t risk lives I am pissed off RIGHT NOW the Navy still can’t get the 5 🇺🇸 US Merchant Marine ships out Don’t want to toot my own horn but I honestly don’t know anyone who was more skeptical and accurate earlier than me. And anyone who knows me well will tell you I can’t sit and watch a shitshow without screaming at admirals from the rooftop about their screw ups. But MY LORD. More than half my feed is consumed with doomerism. Only 200 casualties and 16 ship attacks in 16 days. That’s WAY lower than I dreamed was possible. With zero help from any allies besides Israel!!?!! Unfathomable a year ago. To eliminate Iran as a threat from the map? That’s a win. That’s a win if causalities double and it takes another 16 days to reopen the strait. Now I’m not saying this entire “excursion” can’t still fall off the rails and crash into the side of an explosive depot. I’m not saying we are in the clear for months of a closure resulting in a massive famine. This is war. LOTS can go wrong. But my goodness…. to say this operation is already lost and Trump is spewing lies to cover up the truth about what’s happening. To say Iran is now in “full control of the strait”. To say all our allies have turned their backs on us fully. That’s pure doomsday fiction. No way am I popping a champagne cork but cautious optimism is warranted. P.S. anyone who thinks 16 days is catastrophic doesn’t know shipping. It’s bad, yes, but not catastrophic (yet). The COVID port congestion crisis lasted two years. The Red Sea crisis has been 2 years and running. I’m very concerned and the tanker market is extremely tight (thanks for nothing @IMOHQ) but… have *some* degree of patience please.

@RedPilledRaptor @MCCCANM @mek_ju Also: when overtaking the overtaking aircraft must change course when landing the lower aircraft has the right of way

@MCCCANM @mek_ju Aircraft on the right has the right of way. Aircraft on the left gives way to the right (therefore turning behind the other aircraft). If 2 aircraft are converging, both are to give way to the right. That is if the 2 are of the same category… Right of way rules are convoluted

The way I remember it is that Red on the Right wing would be two R’s & easy to remember, so it’s definitely not that.

@peterrhague Every word is completely applicable to AI right now.

I'm always amazed at just how totally he grasped what the online future was going to be like. Almost nobody from that time, let along from his generation, did so.

Why the fuck are we calling them ”suicide drones”?? They are just guided bombs. There is no “suicide” involved. Normal bombs don’t return home after their shift is done.

@dmbkparker Affirm

Do you think if I put you in a helicopter you could successfully takeoff and land? No instruction. You can watch as many YouTube videos as you want before we go.

Where are the fucking nets?

Tesla building their own fab means TSMC and Samsung just lost their only leverage over the most important compute customer of the decade. When you're training humanoid robots and Full Self Driving at scale, you can't afford someone else's roadmap or capacity constraints. You need the whole stack. So here's the real question: which automaker is dumb enough to think they can compete in autonomy while begging for scraps from the same fabs Apple and Nvidia are maxing out?

@SarahAHoyt Just like a Mandalorian.

I'm a USAian. My religion entitles me to carry a sacred firearm on me at all times...

@MaryTilesTexas ok I'll say it ... Being a younger boomer means relating more to Gen X but not being cool enough to sit with them.

Being a younger millennial means relating more to Gen Z but not being cool enough to sit with them.
