@thebeautyofsaas that feeling never leaves bc it's just what ambition feels like in real time. you have to fall in love with the inputs & ignore the timeline.

the feeling that you are behind in life and not operating at 100% of your capabilities will never go away. your goal should be to learn how to give everything you can each day without expecting anything in return. one morning you will wake up and have everything you ever wanted

I’m 21. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@SCHIZO_FREQ They knew this was coming and it’s inevitable other companies also get such models. They want to position themselves as leaders on the topic and shape how we tackle it globally. Perception is a big deal for AI companies, especially when you are running out of money.

Just tell the relevant people what they need to know, there is no need to run this massive fear-mongering campaign and scare the shit out of my grandma Imagine if military contractors did this "Bro if we used our new drone on you, nobody would even know where you went. You would just evaporate. You are so lucky we aren't droning you, you're so lucky we're good people who aren't evaporating you with drone mounted lasers bro. Because we're such good fucking people" Marketing yourself by scaring a bunch of people who can't do anything about it is sort of an asshole move. There's a reason other companies don't do this, and it's not because you guys are the only ones who make anything dangerous

Honestly when I see a Saas offer anything “agentic” or market their “agents” I get immediately turned off. Like we both know you vibe coded some barely usable unstable black box that I do not trust and do not want to waste time learning and setting up.

Dogs are truly man’s best friend. Anything like this would be forbidden to do to humans. The path to curing cancer in humans is through curing cancer in dogs, apparently.
vittorio@IterIntellectus

ok so the rosie story was even more insane than it looked > be the australian tech guy who made a cancer vaccine for his dog > first try: genetic algorithms to design a new drug from scratch > works in simulation but would take years to test > second try: screen 1 million existing compounds against the mutation > two weeks of computation. find a perfect match > it's patented > patent holder says no to compassionate use > what_did_you_expect.jpg > spend two weeks just being with the dog > 2am idea: what if i just make a vaccine > chatgpt for pipeline, gemini for construct, grok for validation > 300 gigabytes of raw sequencing data to half a page of vaccine construct > university ethics approval would take until mid-2026 > dog doesn't have that long > panik > canine cancer expert connects him to a lab in queensland with existing approval > drive 14 hours to get there > inject > three weeks later the tumors swell. immune system swarming > six weeks later shrinking > two months later legs returning to normal > one mass doesn't respond > sequence it again > different cancer. the vaccine worked. the body grew a new tumor he's now building a company so every dog owner can do this he had the technology the whole time. he spent 18 months fighting for permission to use it

@TomFrankly Haha, I’m also pulling a second all-nighter in a row for something I could’ve done in two hours. My hope lies in the future system though. These agents better keep up with the hype.

Interesting findings from this study. 🤔😄 Attractive female students no longer earned higher grades when classes moved online during COVID-19. "When education is in-person, attractive students receive higher grades in non-quantitative subjects, in which teachers tend to interact more with students compared to quantitative courses. This finding holds both for males and females." A Swedish university study found that attractive female students got higher grades in subjective, non-quantitative courses during in-person teaching, but that edge vanished when classes moved online, while the male beauty premium stayed. 307 students across 5 cohorts were rated for attractiveness by 74 independent judges, and the pandemic created a natural split where the same kinds of courses were taught first face-to-face and then remotely. That matters because quantitative courses are graded mostly by exams, while non-quantitative courses leave more room for teacher judgment, so when female students lost the premium only after visibility dropped, the most likely explanation was not skill but the halo effect, where appearance quietly gets mistaken for ability. i.e. when evaluation becomes more anonymous and less face-driven, grades look more like performance and less like perception. My read is that this is less a story about beauty than about how fragile “objective” grading becomes once human impression enters the room. --- techfixated .com/attractive-female-students-got-better-grades-until-classes-went-online/

@qualiascript big five is just a theory. the alternate take would be... people are complex and right adjacent people are no less creative than left adjacent.

@TukiFromKL They will be fine in the end. AI will get better and its integration in the workforce will mature. They are just front running it as they prefer to be too early and pay the price rather than to be too late.

🚨This is so much worse than you think. > Amazon laid off 30,000 engineers. Then told the ones who survived that their bonuses depend on how much they use AI to write code. So engineers started using AI to push changes faster, because their paycheck literally depends on it. > And then the site went down. Multiple times. Amazon's own shopping app broke because AI-generated code got pushed to production. > So what did management do? Did they take responsibility for forcing engineers to use AI they weren't ready for? Did they admit they created the problem? No. They called a mandatory meeting and blamed the engineers. > AI is powerful enough to replace engineers, we've been saying that all day. But it's not powerful enough to replace quality control AND common sense all at once. Amazon proved that executives who don't understand AI are more dangerous than the AI itself. And every company rushing to do the same thing is watching this and learning absolutely nothing.

Bryan Johnson said he only eats the food he grows himself recently. Saladino only uses toothpaste he makes himself The health movement keeps moving farther and farther away from the normal person, someone who goes to work, has obligations, and lives in the world as it is. It starts becoming a parallel civilization.

Conventional toothpaste is a scam…
