@WatchMyReview I agree he’s done a bang up job but there are teams with more draft picks. Unless you meant teams in the playoffs?

Kyle Dubas took over the NHL's biggest mess in 2023 in Pittsburgh. Oldest team, little cap, little picks, no prospects. Now they are in a playoff spot with most picks of any team next 3 years, tons of cap, drafted one of the best rookies last summer and prospect pool is far

@clahanna Fun! Great job with the Olympics!

Olli Määttä is taking a spin on the ice at the Saddledome in Calgary after being acquired from UTAH on Wednesday night. #flames

@RingOfFireCGY Nichushkin is younger and huge. Give them another asset to flip at some point, maybe. Either way - do good by Kadri, get pick or two as well. Not a terrible idea given how the market is shaping up it seems.

There would have to be draft picks or prospects included with Nichushkin to make this work for Calgary. And I think the idea would be to flip Nichushkin in another deal. If the #Flames were planning on keeping Nichushkin long term then I don’t think it makes any sense.

@levelsio Any reason not to supplement 30-60g protein via a good powder?

Essentially you HAVE to eat 2x massive 300g steaks + 6 eggs every single day if you want do it naturally without protein powder

@Aella_Girl Is this perhaps a response to world being hard so people try to protect their children from hardship and reality and accidentally rob them of the skills they need to survive and thrive?

I'm curious about the historical precident of the 'children deserve innocence' idea, because it seems to be relatively new. When did people start thinking this?

@clairevo @SahilBloom Is there anything like this site but for Copilot? Trying to support my company with this and its hard to find good resources.

@SahilBloom I get asked to do this a lot. Have zero time, but considering training someone on the How I AI playbook and spinning this up chatprd.ai/how-i-ai/workf…

There's an opportunity right now to build a $100k per month side hustle as an AI Concierge. And you don't even have to be *that* technical to do it. Just high agency. There are probably millions of people out there who see all of the latest AI innovations like Claude Cowork, want to take advantage of them, but have no idea how to actually do that. I know, because I'm one of those people... I had dinner last night with the CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech startup. He was telling me about the full digital assistant/employee he just hacked together over the weekend. All of the things it's doing, how it's been an unlock for his workflows and life. I told him I'd gladly pay him $5000 to come to my house and spend the day building me one using the same approach. He laughed that he'd happily do that (though obviously won't given his day job). There's a real, high cash flow opportunity for a hustler to launch a services business as an AI Concierge for the tech curious. Ideally they would physically show up and build out a tool (or suite) to help an individual leverage the latest for their business and life. I bet you could charge $5-10k for the initial upfront work and then some low ongoing service fee to keep the thing up to date (if the person wants that and needs help with it). 5-10 clients per month and you have a meaningful cash flow engine. All comes down to the quality of what you deliver long term, but my guess is people would see a Month 1 positive ROI on the investment and referrals to their friends would drive the entire business. Just a thought...

@Pete___Hughes Isn’t Mckenna a full 1.5 years younger than all those guys though?

You know I’m doing it: U19 NCAA PPG: Ethan Wyttenbach: 1.33 Gavin McKenna: 1.13 Who needs a tank when we got Conroy, totally deserving of his new contract. Reschny and Potter in Top 3 in U19 NCHC PPG, that conference is INSANE.

@gptbrooke Could you send the link please? Thank you!

LISTEN UP (slutcon attendees) if you were there for the confidence engineering workshop, the host is asking ppl to fill out the survey! he will divide $600 between everyone who fills it out and gives contact info go go go

@tyler_agg RAG

imagine how powerful your AI chatbot would be if you could hook it up to your own knowledge base? I just made a full walkthrough on how to build your own AI chatbot powered by your custom knowledge base inside, I cover: – how to gather and clean your docs + conversations – chunking + embeddings (so your AI actually remembers details) – setting up a vector database – connecting RAG so the bot pulls the right info when asked – deployment: getting it live for real users reply “RAG” and I’ll DM you the walkthrough + code (must be following)

@Aella_Girl @katherineveritt Yea - what about this is not normal? Isn’t it just a bid to discuss and engage? Like no need to do either or respond at all but this is about as harmless a random message as possible? And better than most as it’s trying to find common ground/debate an idea?

@katherineveritt This is cruel and you should feel bad and you're contributing to social norms where everyone feels terrified of honest harmless expression.

I am begging the men of the world to be normal

@nearcyan I am missing something here I think. Beyond this not making sense as a parenting strategy, missing a prime opportunity to build skills of patience, sharing, detachment from things - your view of post scarcity that we become petulant children surrounded by wealth unable to cope?

summary of my views on post-scarcity capitalism

@paulg Caveat to the below: I have zero expertise. Interesting that if you try to adjust for unsafe driving practices (no safety gear, at night, etc.) motorcycle risk decreases but is still 2x as high as cars. Full convo here: chatgpt.com/share/68b334bb…

Wow, I didn't realize the difference between cars and motorcycles was this big. Motorcycles are 29x more dangerous.

@TVachaW I’d be curious about a tree’s understanding of connection, light and vibration. It’s connection to the earth and dependence on the sun would seem to prime it to have an interesting understanding of energy flows and dependency/interdependence.

Do you Have a Question for the Enlightened Tree? Soon, I'll again be visiting the Amazonian tree which the locals say has attained enlightenment. If you have a question for the tree, drop it in the comments & I'll try to get it asked via the shaman who channels her messages. Try and think of questions that would be particularly interesting to get answered by a tree in particular if you can.

@catehall Curious - have you or Sacha written anything about the value you see in the Enneagram? What makes it different than other systems?

Can’t wait to read — Courtney is largely responsible for turning me into an Enneagram nut

@nearcyan @arithmoquine They are terrible at memory when it comes to anything formatting related IME. Emoji's drive me nuts.

@arithmoquine i think theyre just very bad at memory, i dont have this issue in my own stuff

we're never solving alignment man

@ThatDavidR @signulll Really interesting is this seems to be an example of what happens in human language naturally: medical terms of developmental disabilities becoming slurs for example. Somewhat inevitable over time.

@signulll My concern is that "em-dash means AI" will get so embedded in the culture that people--like me--who use the em-dash a lot will get accused of using AI when we don't. I'd propose a solution where the use of em-dash is limited to the same frequency found in the training corpus.

if i were an interviewer for any role at openai, i’d ask the candidate one simple question: how would you deal with the em dash “problem”? if they say anything about removing it, i’d never ever hire them.

@Romy_Holland For many, not all, cost of programs like this is cheaper long term than cost of services required by not providing these basic needs: policing, children's services, imprisonment etc. CDN perspective though - free emergency, medical, etc. added on top of the previous.

can someone steelman having zero work requirements for food stamps and medicaid? i am generally pro these programs existing, but it doesn’t seem insane to me that there’d be work requirements for non-disabled people.

@eigenrobot Curious, there are an insane amount of listicles out there, but has anyone done a listicle about the progression? 0 = random shit, 1 = you never actually need better than this, 2-5 = minor improvements on base, 6-10 = increasingly niche, expert or refined items.

i get it now, this is legit. reddit objects are objects recommended to _entry-level enthusiasts_ by topical subreddits because they work well to improve lives over baseline with a relatively low level of effort for a majority of cases reddit objects are high ROI! for example,

@itsannpierce A fair criticism, but of human nature in general rather than polyamory specifically perhaps? So many relationship and life choices made for the wrong reasons, out of avoidance or fear etc.

I’m not against polyamory, but I think it’s often co-opted to avoid: -the pain of a breakup -disagreements/repair conversations -making a commitment decision -being fully seen and known -the boredom or numbness of repressed emotion -the slow build of platonic love

@nearcyan @hopes_revenge I enjoy your thoughts. You are a consistent voice.

@hopes_revenge thanks. im not sure i feel like tweeting much anymore but maybe one or two doesn't hurt

when i realized pink shower mold was intentionally spread by the US government over all of san francisco in 1950 as a bioweapon experiment called operation sea-spray i became a bit frustrated that i have to pay for it to be cleaned and then i get taxed on that. some guy died too
