Show up every day. Put in the work. Set deadlines for yourself. And trust me, you're good. 👍

When the Army General says rehabilitate them, the NSA says they are our brothers, and the Defence Media Director says they only erred, all three saying it openly, on record, without shame, you are no longer dealing with a security failure. You are dealing with a security establishment that has already picked a side. Three voices. Two days. One conclusion. This war was never meant to be won. 🐝🐆

@JacobKarli1 @cremieuxrecueil @KeeganSkeate When someone steals your money, you no longer have access to that money. When someone “steals” your idea, you still have complete access to the idea, it’s just been shared. There probably exists reasonable objections to IP abolition, however the point you raised is not one.

@cremieuxrecueil @KeeganSkeate That means you are against individual rights. If someone can steal your work and thoughts, they might as well be able to rob your bank account whenever it is convenient or ‘a good thing’

I still think an underrated aspect of China's excellent video generation quality is that they just don't care about copyright at all. (That's a good thing.)

@Ai009 @mtracey This just sounds like intellectual laziness if you’re not willing to examine how much of it is truth, falsehood or misinformation. I don’t believe you apply this lax standard to other matters

Epstein and his counsel acknowledged all along (from 2006 onwards) that there were "underage" girls who did in fact come to his house in Palm Beach. We didn't need to see any garbled text messages with Woody Allen to confirm that. However, the mitigating circumstances cited were as follows: these girls systematically lied about their ages, planning amongst themselves to do so, because they understood they would not be permitted in the house if they were below 18. Some even brought fake IDs. Many of the "victims" themselves openly acknowledged doing this -- in police interviews, Grand Jury proceedings, and elsewhere. One of them, Tatum Miller, told the FBI: "I would tell my girlfriends, make sure you tell him you're 18. I would say make sure that you tell him you're 18... he thought that we were 18." Tatum Miller said she recruited as many as 30 girls to come provide the "massages" (not always overtly sexual, for the record) with these instructions. "Everybody loved Jeffrey," she told FBI agents. "A lot of girls begged me to bring them back." Tatum Miller also denied that she was a "victim" of Epstein, even as the FBI was classifying her as such, through "victim notification" letters and other tactics. Despite these denials, the US Attorney's Office cited her as one of the Jane Doe "victims" in the 2007 draft indictment that was finally just published. Later, Tatum Miller did sue Epstein, and radically revised her story, once the for-profit lawyers swooped in. Many such cases. Epstein ultimately pleaded guilty to a prostitution charge involving one 17-year-old who told police her encounters with Epstein were consensual, and that he never engaged in any forcible or coercive contact. Unlike the other girls, however, she had not lied to him about her age. Having reviewed that girl's account (Ashley Davis) I found her highly credible. Hence Epstein's eventual guilty plea related to conduct involving Ashley Davis. (She didn't want to testify, because she also did not believe she had been victimized, but was compelled to do so by extremely aggressive prosecutors.) If you want to call the above conduct "rape," even though it would have been perfectly legal one state north in Georgia -- or in New York, or Massachusetts... OK. That's a ridiculous distortion of language, but fine. However, it's all moot, for the purposes of what I said in my original tweet. The "underage" sexual contact in question all occurred at the Palm Beach house. There's never been any credible evidence of any "rapes," or even legally "underage" sexual misconduct, taking place at Epstein's property in the US Virgin Islands. Despite the term "Rape Island" and/or "Pedophile Island" being repeated ad nauseam without anyone bothering to learn the basic facts of the matter. People reflexively conflate the Palm Beach situation with totally uncorroborated rumors of evildoing at the private island. Hence why the notorious Caribbean island became so central to the wider Epstein lore. And fittingly so -- because it's utterly devoid of credible evidence. Even after the latest dump of millions and millions of investigative records.

We don’t have a “begging culture”, we have beggars. We don’t have a “stealing culture”, we have thieves. We don’t have a “lying culture”, we have liars. I’m never outsourcing responsibility to third party inanimate construct. No, these are the PRESENT actions of PEOPLE.

This is why this country is in the pits. A tragic snake bite death should’ve sparked serious conversations: – checking neighborhoods for snake infestation – educating people about snake bites, especially during the dry season – draw attention and put pressure to health ministries for the lack of ambulances and anti-venom in a country with high snake-bite cases Instead, we default to superstition and “spiritual attacks.” Why fix emergency response or healthcare when everything is blamed on principalities and powers? We get the society we tolerate.

@Omakadiri We have conditional expectations of women as well though and we demand some base level of beauty

One of the blackpills of women's love is that they are so visibly conditional. Women who aren't outrightly hypergamous exhibit theirs by potential-hunting. You likely wouldn't be considered by a modest woman if you don't show a certain bar of potential. Least they can tolerate.

@magi_jay At what age do you think toddlers/children-in-general exit this experimentation mode? And how does giving in to their every request help them get the right lessons from this "experimentation mode What alternative systems of dealing with this would you suggest?

Parents: don't do this. There is no perfect answer for how to teach a toddler certain lessons, but there ARE most definitely inappropriate forms of 'discipline' for this developmental age—and multi-hour punitive standoffs are one of them. A 2-year-old can pick up a dropped carrot—that's a reasonable, age-appropriate request. If they don't comply initially, it's typically because: they're testing boundaries/experimenting (developmentally normal), they need co-regulation to manage the transition, they're overwhelmed by the request, or they need help scaffolding the task. At this stage, toddlers are still largely in experimentation mode—learning cause and effect, gravity, object permanence—rather than operating from concepts of right and wrong. But once you've escalated into a 4-hour standoff with an acutely distressed child, you're no longer asking them to 'just pick up a carrot.' After four hours—including a nap—it's unlikely the child even remembers that he dropped a carrot or understands why picking it up matters. You're asking them to execute a fine motor task while simultaneously managing: emotional regulation + cognitive flexibility (switching from 'refusing' to 'complying') + motor planning under stress + face-saving + abstract understanding of cause-effect. That integration of multiple immature neural systems under conditions of acute distress is neurologically implausible for many toddlers at that developmental stage. Not to mention: a 2-year-old will not encode this incident in explicit/episodic memory (hippocampus still developing, hence childhood amnesia). What does encode robustly at this age? Amygdala-mediated associative emotional memories. So the 'lesson' likely isn't 'pick up what I drop'—it's a diffuse stress association with the context: mealtimes, parental standoffs, or yes, possibly carrots.

@Zeeskylaw @joebasshd @gnchiso Bro said he's a (core) contributor to Google Deepmind and his code powers Gemini for everyone that's ever used it. When in reality he only opened a PR on gemma code to rename some files. This is a little more than overselling the truth lmaooooo

@joebasshd @gnchiso Let’s calling it overselling the truth

this is crazy omg

>I tell people that as a Nigerian, I work at GoogleDeepMind What a stupid disgrace.

@Promythious Unprovoked by the way

Do you know how insane you have to be to sit down and write this tweet sha 😂😂 a crazy guy

Are any of my moots going for the Google DevFest Ibadan? My brother doesn't wanna go anymore, and I don't want to go there alone.

@o_gonna_ Lit

Don’t miss the session tomorrow on “How Cluster AutoScalers Enable Antifragility” If you want to build systems a step above resilient, you have to start somewhere. I will be showing you how to leverage cluster AutoScalers to strengthen your infrastructure. Will share further details soon. @CNCFIbadan @s1ntaxe770r

I had also asked it about the risk of such a custom prompt having the opposite effect and making it less accurate:

Having conversations with Gemini3.0 and I had an idea on how to make it give me more valuable advice than generic, then asked it for a prompt for me to add to chat settings. This seems pretty good I guess.

I cut my li--ii--ip

I opened up in separate tabs the top 7 or so Terraform courses on Udemy. I copied and pasted in the Course Titles, Course length and full Course Outlines into GeminiAI then asked it to select the best course for me that aligns with my skillset. This was the winner, so here we go!

I've forgotten a lot of the things I learned in Terraform by this point, so I bought this course today... Let's see how it goes🚀🚀🚀
