I am passionate about computationally modeling higher-order cognition and subjective internal world models!

@AsianDawn4 I am white. I don't own a car company. Am I "locked out" from that information ?
English
🚗Whites and Asians have certain forms of "information." That's why there are no black-owned car companies because they were "locked out of that information" 😂😭😭

@ksorbs Some people will arrive in a country (or even some people born in the country) will just see whatever is around them and just assume it was always there, that no one built it, it just existed and will always exist.
The same people think the government is the source of all money.

@P_Remarks Is there a prompt I can give an AI so that it responds to all questions with a precise answer, without all the extra verbose bullshit that is added simply to make it sound more like a person ?

@voided Fire the insurance salesman who agreed to insure a $1 million car for $2.2 million.
English
This man destroyed a $1 million car on PURPOSE
Andy House bought a Bugatti Veyron for $1 million and insured it for $2.2 million
A few days later he drove it straight into the ocean near Texas
Left the engine running so saltwater would destroy every part of it
A random driver happened to be filming because he'd never seen a Bugatti in person
The video shows him driving straight into the water
No swerving, no braking, nothing
His excuse: a "low flying pelican" scared him but there wasn't a single pelican in sight
The video hit YouTube with over 5 million views
Investigators watched it and charged him with insurance fraud
He tried to turn a $1 million car into a $2.2 million check and the only reason he failed is because someone never saw a Bugatti in his life

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description

@BrodieOnLinux The same reviewer will also recommend a $25K standing desk .

Office chair reviews are a fascinating part of Youtube, basically the conclusion everyone comes to is if you're not spending $2,000 on a chair you're wasting your money.
English
@nostalgicfile Of course. It's much easier to just film someone than spend a fortune doing CGI to try and replicate them.

@MBrant75 You don't think that $11.5 million will get paid directly to some agency in Tunisia directly do you?
Some Liberal-party supporter will be appointed to "manage" the funds (and take 10% as a fee), they will hire a Liberal-friendly NGO, which will take another 10% and do some PR.

@KirkLubimov They'll setup an "assembly" plant where they put on the windshield wipers -- so they can claim "assembled in Canada" to bypass any tariffs.

Canada thinks China will come do auto manufacturing in Canada just like the American and other companies do.
They won't and have no interest. They especially have no interest in tying their operations to Unions.
This is a dark factory in Ningbo, China. It makes about 300,000 cars a year and employs 1,600 humans who are there for robots' maintenance and quality control.
That's about half to one third less employees needed for comparable auto plant production with a different skill set employees.
Canada is betting its economy on obsolete operations.

@eevblog But did he really hand over $5 million (maybe less) in cash? Or did LTT borrow $5 million (either from the bank or private investors) -- in which case, the cost is whatever the interest is.
English
Looks like I was kinda right on this.
The LinusJet is a big capital outlay, but it's basically going to cost nothing. Impressive deal he got.
Although you could argue the opportunity cost of the capital is lost.

Wow, Linus bought a jet? grndcntrl.net/articles/influ… The obvious conclusion is that he plans to pimp this thing out for content. That would be interesting. Kinda like the popular van conversion videos genre. Does anyone know if $5M for a 1990 Falcon 900B would be cheap? Thinking about this bit, is it crazy, or might it actually pay off? It's obviously a lot of capital outlay, but Linus is known for that kind of thing. Kitting it out and keeping it operational isn't cheap, but maybe, just maybe the play is to milk it for viral content (possibly even collabs) and then flip the pimped out jet once the view novelty wears off?

@miaaowing How is it that Mac users think that labelling the "backspace" key with "delete" makes it a delete key?
English
how the fuck do you mac nerds live without a dedicated delete key
im losing my mind here

i will be daily driving the MacBook Neo for the next two weeks, professionally. I work in IT, and need to decide whether the Neo will be a viable device long-term. I will try to document all of my thoughts about it, bar usual MacOS bullshit

@fandompulse Bad writing, ridiculous inconsistences with other Star Trek canon, idiotic characters that were badly acted.
DEI was probably the least worst part.
English
Starfleet Academy star Kerrice Brooks urges fans not to hate the show because of DEI:
“If it’s not nice, like, let’s just talk about it. Don’t just say, like, I hate it because it’s DEI. Tell me you hate it because of something else, and then we can have a conversation.”
Is DEI a valid reason to hate Starfleet Academy?

@FFT1776 Why don't they just make the pole 20 feet longer. And then the competition is falling 50 feet without dying .

The bar kept going up… and he just kept clearing it 😳
At what point does this even become humanly possible?
This is insane!👏🏻

@lennysan By the time I've worked out a prompt that explains the problem to the AI coder, including the requirements of the output, I could have written the program myself.

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting.
I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day.
There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer." Simon Willison (@simonw) is one of the most prolific independent software engineers and most trusted voices on how AI is changing the craft of building software. He co-created Django, coined the term "prompt injection," and popularized the terms "agentic engineering" and "AI slop." In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 🔸 Why November 2025 was an inflection point 🔸 The "dark factory" pattern 🔸 Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are the most at risk right now 🔸 Three agentic engineering patterns he uses daily: red/green TDD, thin templates, hoarding 🔸 Why he writes 95% of his code from his phone while walking the dog 🔸 Why he thinks we're headed for an AI Challenger disaster 🔸 How a pelican riding a bicycle became the unofficial benchmark for AI model quality Listen now 👇 youtu.be/wc8FBhQtdsA

The Cistercian monks invented a numbering system in the 13th century which meant that any number from 1 to 9999 could be written using a single symbol.

@JLeYang @Skriptkeeper17 I understand, but there must be a "typical" cost, for a sign of a certain size. Is it $100s or $1,000s ?
English
@chuckmonkey2010 @Skriptkeeper17 The orders are custom, you have to ask because it'll depend on sizing and includes the shipping.
