@zoecabina There’s nothing to feel sorry for. People who cheat on their spouses so flagrantly, especially with kids involved, are sociopaths who lack the emotions you’re trying to protect.

Unpopular opinion but I feel very, very sorry for these people. It’s gross to see the world laughing and relishing their pain. This is the type of shit people off themselves over— and we already know the world would continue to mock them if they did kill themselves.

@RjeyTech Why is the screen all janky? Reflections look like a plastic funhouse mirror.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but your iPhone can’t do this.

At perhaps the lowest point of my life, I’m proud that I’m at least able to articulate my own worth to myself. Not sure I could have done that all along.

@InverseZitron @ilex_ulmus AI has improved both my business and personal life, and I’m excited for what the technology *could* be. But that doesn’t mean we should blindly cheerlead and support all of its negative outcomes as well.

@ilex_ulmus AI has made me incredibly more productive and excited for the future. If you aren't getting this out of AI too, it's a skill issue

I’m not cool myself but I can’t imagine being such a loser that I would sit at home on the sidelines rooting for AI companies to get richer and simping for the CEOs. They don’t love you. They’re fucking you over. Have some dignity.

@TruismsT @tracewoodgrains Nah, that blame lies squarely at the feet of bigoted assholes who think they “deserve” to have an opinion about her.

@tracewoodgrains It's true, trans-id'd people now stir up prejudice in many people who, ten years ago, would barely have blinked at their choices. I think you can lay that blame squarely at the feet of activists.

The replies to this are such an indictment of a ton of people's attitudes towards trans people Jessica is an economist. She writes about cutting spending. She's not a culture warrior, just a writer who happens to be trans. And that's enough to draw immense and ugly vitriol.

@multitropic @hubermanlab It really doesn’t, unless you have a drinking problem.

@hubermanlab It’s time to normalize not drinking Your life improves ten fold

I say “I don’t drink. But I will tell you exactly what I think without any alcohol.” Then again no one I know (men or women) drinks anymore anyway.

@veggie_eric That’s pathetic.

@VraserX yacine’s just bullshitting, guys. Come onnnnnnnn, get with the program.

I’m convinced they got early access to GPT-5. Aidan works at OpenAI. Yacine just got fired from xAI and now Sam’s following him? That’s not random. Whatever they saw must be absolutely wild. This might be the moment before the internet breaks.

@shl It should get you banned from everything, really. Shows a lack of character and judgment.

Didn’t expect that working for DOGE would get me banned from a science fiction writing community I was a part of

@yesh222 You’re an insane religious extremist if you think a Muslim mayor will make NYC unsafe for Jews.

Well, it was a pretty good 100-year run for Jews in New York City. It's probably time to start making a plan where to go to next.

@dvorstone @turbothad This started off well and then abruptly veered off a cliff into Inceltown.

You don't wear a MAGA hat on a first date for three reasons: 1. You're supposed to be trying to look good, and it's a baseball cap, which unless you're playing baseball, is not a good look. 2. It does exactly as you suggested. It advertises that you like political fights with strangers. Basically, that you're a real-life troll. 3. It exposes him as inappropriate to lead. As a man, he should know that her politics will align with his, eventually. It takes time and it's a byproduct of trusting him and following his lead, which is earned. Simply put, a man shouldn't care about her politics because as a woman, her politics aren't serious (mostly - obviously, for some women that isn't the case). Her interest and affection for him will adjust her politics. As such, there's no need to be so aggressive right up front because he hasn't earned her devotion yet. He's trying to claim what isn't his yet: influence over her.

@DanCalle @erikphoel Word doesn’t insert em dashes, it just converts them to proper typographic em dashes.

@erikphoel Taps the sign. x.com/DanCalle/statu…

There's no way ChatGPT uses em dashes that much naturally. It was tuned on particular writing. So we just need to find someone who used em dashes a bunch as a purposeful stylistic choice, is followed by the people in OpenAI working on writing style, and had a large corpus.

@vasalex93 @csuwildcat @IceSolst These people seem to think that monetary systems are completely separate from economies and markets.

@csuwildcat @IceSolst ANYTHING other their currency does this. Dollars, gold, eth, foreign stocks, real estate, etc. Bitcoin isn’t special here. And it’s only useful BEFORE the hyper inflation starts, not after.

16 years in, still have never organically run into a use case for blockchain

@iansilber On the desktop apps: 1. Better chat history management 2. Proper keyboard shortcuts

we’ve been busy making improvements to the core chagpt experience (long overdue). what do you think we should do next?

@Bonecondor @radmadvlad It appears so, unfortunately.

@radmadvlad You think I'm so retarded I've managed to step on a scale incorrectly?

Calories in, calories out bros have never been able to explain the widely reported phenomena of “I weighed myself before and after I pooped, and I gained weight”

@kymeriandawn @DylanEMHolland @avaricum777 Bring your own AppView if you want.

@xac @DylanEMHolland @avaricum777 no its not, the appview is still under the control of j*y and she can use it to ban anyone she chooses

Truly incredible stuff happening over on the other site

@BogDrakonov @rekt_lord @DylanEMHolland @avaricum777 Yeah, you can run your own completely separate Bluesky network, but it’s more convenient for most people to just rely on the central infrastructure.

@BogDrakonov @rekt_lord @DylanEMHolland @avaricum777 Anyone can run their own Bluesky server as well.

@DylanEMHolland @avaricum777 Bluesky is still a decentralized Twitter alternative, but any Bluesky server can moderate as they choose. Vance was initially auto-banned by the “main” bsky.social server as likely fake, but the ban was removed almost immediately.

@avaricum777 What happened to Bluesky I thought it was a decentralized Twitter alternative?

@slimjimmy "Design Patterns" is a close second

strong computer science fundamentals such as OOP
