Sometimes it feels like Walmart wants you to buy fruits and vegetables from them and eat them on the way home. They barely last a couple of days before they start going bad

Unfortunately, not every choice we make is blessed with moral clarity.

@nikitabier the Bookmarks feature only sows the first 10 folders on Android Beta. Scrolling won't work. Also, one used to be able to switch Twitter profiles before hitting send on a composed tweet. Please bring add that to Android Beta

Andor is such a well written show

@elonmusk One can't use the share button to send a tweet via DMs. The option simply isn't there.

@elonmusk The app crashes when one tries to add a gif to a tweet. Interestingly, I can add a gif using SwiftKey without crashing the app. Saving pictures doesn't always work. Sometimes the button disappears. When one minimizes a video that's playing, you can't close the window easily

@elonmusk there's an X for android beta version that is being pushed out to some users, but there's no way for those users to give feedback on their experience. Here's my experience so far: It only shows the first 8-10 folders when one tries to bookmark a tweet.

who the fuck actually uses “Haskell style” I feel like not even Haskell programmers would do this completely deranged

@saniyusuf In case you use Sani Yusuf, will Sani be the middle name? Or will it be hyphenated (Sani-Yusuf)?

@oviosu Sani for sure. So for example if my daughter is called Aurora she will be Aurora Sani. I am thinking of making it sani yusuf too but yh Aurora Bin Sani.

Why do many Nigerians get wrong the concept of a surname? I've seen this scenario so many times I suspect there is something in our schools or upbringing causing it... Someone named "John Adejobi Adesola" (made up names) Signs up as: First name: John Surname: Adejobi Meanwhile passport has: Surname: Adesola Given Names: John Adejobi Why?

The level of reliability of modern LLMs is incredible. Frankly, it's no longer a red flag to see a "100%" score for a well-tuned system on certain narrow tasks now.

Hello @amasad, I'm a big fan of Replit. When I build apps on Replit, I often share the dev version with users so they can test and tell me what works and what doesn't. Would your team consider adding a feature that lets users easily give feedback to app builders?

Replit’s CTO, @lhchavez, is not only one of the most talented programmers I’ve ever worked with, he’s also one of the kindest people I know, and an incredible mentor and teacher. Luis’ story is inspiring. He grew up in the heartland of Mexico and, like me, discovered programming through gaming and internet cafés. A competitive programming champion, he made his way to Silicon Valley and, before joining Replit, led the effort to bring Android apps to ChromeOS. Luis joined Replit five years ago at a crucial moment as we began scaling. He helped us grow our container infrastructure to millions of concurrent apps, and since then, he’s been behind many of our biggest technical achievements. Nearly two years ago, he became our CTO, and continues to lead with brilliance and humility! And, yes, if you put up a whiteboard and say his name three times he will appear to give you an algorithms lesson.

@eldivine Hi, was this sharing formula based on an already existing will? Or was it based on traditional rules?

My dad has 13 kids. His estate was shared equally between all of us but my elder brother got double what we all got. He also got our primary house. None of my dad's siblings got anything except what my dad gave them. We are 5 boys, 9 girls. Nobody was left out, even the married ones.

Not replying the video directly but that is one good example of Igbo men being painted for something that your dads are doing. Ignorance everywhere. It is the norm for women's stuff to be inherited by their daughters or sisters. Not men. Not dads, not brothers. Also what women usually did not inherit was land (especially family land) due to how marital laws operate in our land. That one is already changing. Primogeniture affected everyone men or women, Diokpala comes first. When you guys are going on these rants please separate Igbo culture from someone trying to bully you. My uncles still tried to chook eye into my dad's properties after he died. We put a stop to it cos we knew they were lying. If you knew your culture well, no one can successfully use it as a cover for bullying. Instead you'll come here and throw your ignorance at the feet of Igbo men. Efulefu weak links.

Geoffrey Hinton looks like Froddo here

Ah Sahm and Mai Ling are birds of a feather. Too arrogant for their own good

Thoroughly enjoying Warrior so far

Eyeglasses aren’t opioids. There’s no reason we should need to see an optometrist to buy glasses. You don’t in the rest of the world, and you didn’t in the US either until optometrists lobbied aggressively under the banner of “public safety.” For decades, opticians, trained with just a few weeks of coursework, tested vision and sold glasses directly, just like they still do in Europe, Asia, and most of the world. Outside the US, vision correction (opticians) is kept separate from medical eye care (ophthalmology). In the US, we created the field of optometry and then they lobbied hard to take over vision correction because there is more money in selling glasses than in doing medical tests. By the 1970s, every state required prescriptions, shutting out opticians and cementing an optometrist monopoly. The result: in Europe you can walk into a shop, get tested, and leave with glasses for about $50 all-in. In the US, you are forced into a $200 exam and $300 frames. What should be simple and cheap has been turned into a racket, and consumers pay the price. Much like barber licensing (some states require 2,000 hours of training just to braid hair), this kind of gatekeeping drives up costs without protecting consumers. Vision correction should be cheap and accessible, not locked behind a monopoly!
