Oh, that’ll go well. Another 4-D chess very stable genius move by the US.

No kidding. Except we won’t even have to do that; we can just run open-source frontier models. These companies are hosed.

Zach I love your games! Thank you! Keep em coming!

That’s a very hard line

Weed wackers too

Wow. I love being reminded of stuff like this. Those cars were so cool.

Edit: I took one of these cars apart as a kid to see how it worked. This site brought back a lot of memories. The little coil spring inside the gear. I have to get my hands on one of these now…

Preposterous. Clearly the goose is full of golden eggs

This explains a lot about that mouse who got a cookie and subsequently wanted a lot of other food

Ah, sadly it doesn’t work that way for me. I guess for some people it does but not for me. I can either be abstinent or constantly high.

I’m so lucky to have had a copy of this as a kid. Loved that book. It really let you understand how all kinds of things worked, with beautiful illustrations you could pore over for hours. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Did Polymarket employees place bets on this before they announced it?

Hell yeah. And disregard anyone who says you’re “wasting your vote” or “splitting the vote”; they’re part of the problem and their defeatist thinking will get us nowhere.

I completely agree with what you are saying, but I have grown too cynical to believe it will ever happen. American capitalism has been very effective at ensuring 2 outcomes:

- The population is kept just comfortable enough to become complacent, with easy access to intoxicants, brainrot media and fast food. Now there are even robots that can do our thinking for us. A large percentage of people are brainwashed into thinking that all change is bad because it will cause them to lose the paltry, ersatz freedom they have rather than gaining real liberty.

- The labor pool is kept large enough that any of us could be replaced immediately with no significant loss to our employers. As the ISP mantra goes, “we have nothing to lose but our jobs”.

Yes, we know that they couldn’t replace _all_ of us at once, but combine points 1 and 2 and you will start to understand why there is no appreciable labor movement in the United States.

“I’m not crazy, everyone else is crazy! That’s why they’re all out to get me.”

None of that happened here.

Just as bad as the technical debt is the cognitive debt in your codebase. When something breaks, your only recourse is to ask the AI how to fix it, since it wrote it and you did not have time to review all of its code. Except now the code base is so large it won’t fit into the context window, and the AI can’t help you, and…you’re screwed.

Well, sometimes we have to subtract 1 from something, too.

Oh, so only extremely corrosive, cool

Well that’s just not fair. Even the fastest human on earth can’t be expected to keep up with a horse riding a bike.

Wrong thread bud

That’s a narrow definition of a leader. Seems to me that a leader can be someone who others _choose_ to follow.

The point being that we need to not incriminate these people.

Eh, they’re probably too busy molesting their younger siblings to take notice or offense.

But why this one specific app and no others?

Unlike plastic gloves, researchers don’t typically bring these substances into the lab.

I think you have to be at least remotely a sympathetic figure to be a martyr

Dunno where the parent comment was referring to, but different countries have different standards. In Colombia the bus transit stations all have breathalyzer stations and the drivers have to pass the breathalyzer before starting their shifts. It was pretty wild to see as an outsider but completely unremarkable to everyone else.

Elsewhere in the site he publishes her name and address.
