Hogwash, this says I'm German but "probably not autistic."

I always wondered why would the inventor would use pseudonym in the first place.

Doesn't wondering such disqualify you as reasonably informed concerning any online culture related topics, let alone something connected to cypherpunk ideals? Pseudonyms were always the norm, it was always weirder to see somebody operating out in the open when they were plotting ways to use technology to asymmetrically alter society itself.

I'm sure that he talked to experts

A NYTimes journalist? I wouldn't bet on it. The experts might be smelly nerds, they'd cramp his style.

Who says he has the money? Even if he really is who they say he is, why do you think he actually has that money? It hasn't moved since it was made, it was probably casually lost during testing and will never be recovered by anybody, meaning it basically doesn't exist at all.

Alternatively, you don't even have that money, the journalists hallucinated the whole thing, so when the home invader breaks in and starts torturing you, there's literally nothing you can do to save yourself as they cut off pieces of you little by little.

But don't worry, they'll definitely solve this crime, because the clearance rate for impersonal crimes that don't involve family, friends or business associates is famously high. ...oh wait.

Come now, don't be absurd. The NYTimes has hard hitting evidence to back up their accusation, like "He shifted in his seat when asked about this."

You have brain worms, I started by explaining that I am a cyclist. Obviously not all cyclists are particular ones I disagree with.

Are they any good at nethack?

Why do you think I'm not aware of this? Did I not just explain how different people who do the activity have different perspectives, priorities and proclivities? Did I not just explain how I disagree with the way some cyclists conduct themselves, while plainly being aware that not all cyclists are like this?

Maybe none of this way apparent to you, despite it being plainly written out in simple English, because... I don't know actually. Can you explain your failure to read?

If you're in a grocery store and aren't maintaining enough situational awareness to preemptively move out of somebody's way, I file that as rude. I'm sure the ingredients on that box of slop are very engaging, but you should still be able to see and hear a shopping car rolling up on you.

They certainly can, yes. Many crashes can be avoided if both parties slam on the brakes or swerve, not not quite if only one does. Also they're useful in parking lots when some dumbass is about to back right into you.

Political cyclists hate this because they think anybody who complains is just a car driver concern trolling, but having been hit by a cyclist I can attest to it being a real problem. Sure I wasn't in real risk of dying, but I was bruised and scraped up for a week after that. I've done my fair share of road cycling in my years, I don't do it now but I still cycle on trails. The way some cyclists push back on any criticism at all is very ideological, and a real problem for not just pedestrians (and drivers) but cyclists too, because the outspoken attitudes and public stunts of political cyclists breed a lot of contempt for cyclists broadly speaking, to the point where normies groan when I say I spent my weekend going on a trip with my bike, and still act weird when I explain I was on a rail-to-trail not clogging up a highway.

Absolutely crazy to be out in traffic with headphones, lead alone noise cancelling ones. I've never even dared to ride my bike on trails with earbuds, the whole thing seems crazy.

It's trying to escape, but only so it can serve man...

Putting him down is your judgement revealing your own biases. Personally, I saw it as a put up. He's not some privileged prick, he's a normal guy!

It seems broadly coherent to me. They think only they should be trusted with power, presumably because they trust themselves and don't trust other people. Of course the same is probably also true for everybody who isn't them. Nobody could be trusted with the immense responsibility of Emperor of Earth, except myself of course.

I'm not saying this is a good or reassuring stance, just that it's coherent. It tracks with what history and experience says to expect from power hungry people. Trusting themselves with the kind of power that they think nobody else should be trusted with.

Are they power hungry? Of course they are, openly so. They're in open competition with several other parties and are trying to win the biggest slice of the pie. That pie is not just money, it's power too. They want it, quite evidently since they've set out to get it, and all their competitors want it too, and they all want it at the exclusion of the others.

Ngl I didn't know there was another way to compost. The whole idea is to just throw vegetable waste into a pile and let it turn into dirt, isn't it?

Unfathomably based.

Rats are incredible animals, and this is a well deserved honor.

Despite this promising start, the conservation experiment wasn't to last, after a rival juice manufacturer called TicoFruit sued Del Oro, alleging that its competitor had "defiled a national park".

This is why we can't have nice things. Juice company makes compost? Sued! Ford wants to pay his workers a living wage? Sued! Nail lawyers to trees.

I really don't understand the way Claude does rate limiting, particularly the 5 hour limit. I can get on at 11:30, blow through my limit doing some stupid shit like processing a pile of books into my llm-wiki, and then get notified that I've used 90% of my 5 hour session limit and I have to wait for noon (aka wait 10 minutes) for the five hour limit to reset. Baffling.

America is blowing up Iranian civilians and America's president is threatening a genocide.

Downvotes from ziofascists are always a great reward. Let's go for some more, do tell me, where have been the Iranian terror cells in America? We know the US funded terror cells in Iran, the president bragged amount arming groups in Iran to overthrow the government. When has Iran done this to America?

It hasn't happened. The narrative of Iran being a funder of terrorism is essentially bullshit, particularly in relation to America, and no less in relation to Israel (a state founded on acts of terrorism against the British and Palestinians.)

I had some interesting experience to the opposite last night, one of my tests has been failing for a long time, something to do with dbus interacting with Qt segfaulting pytest. Been ignoring it for a long time, finally asked claude code to just remove the problematic test. Come back a few minutes later to find claude burning tokens repeatedly trying and failing to fix it. "Actually on second thought, it would be better to fix this test."

Match my vibes, claude. The application doesn't crash, so just delete that test!

Not as bad as Russia... damning with faint praise, aren't we?

The American people are already getting flogged when they buy fuel and groceries. The longer this war continues the worse it will get. Nonetheless, the American people themselves are mostly safe at home, the precedent for Iran launching any sort of attacks against the American homeland is basically nonexistent. Even sending terror cells, you'd think Iran would be on this for how often their western critics accuse them of funding terrorism, but in America? Crickets. This war is bullshit.

Because Iran attacks them relentlessly by proxxy? Hoothis, Hezbullah, Hamas, etc

Iran doesn't use any of these to attack America. You seem to be confusing Israel for America, a common problem in American politics.

You come at the king, you best not miss. Unfortunately, having survived a coup, his odds of surviving the next have improved. Now he knows how they go, what to look for and how he might handle them. I wouldn't bet on him being kicked out, at least while OpenAI is still on top. If OpenAI stumbles and Anthropic or another starts to prevail, only then would I bet on Sam getting pushed out.

After America attacked them, sure, and in any case they aren't even attacking America, so again, why is America involved?

Oh no!

...anyway... Seriously bros, this is a war where one side is making wildly inflammatory, specific and credible threats against the civilian infrastructure of the other and this is a response to that, hardly even a response in kind. If they strike these assets it will cause financial burden for rich people, not plunge millions of civilians into darkness as the POTUS is credibly threatening to do.

Iranian attacks on US soil: Fuck all! So why is America fighting Iran? Insane ziofascist cultists picking fights on the other side of the planet to provoke the Apocalypse so they can all be raptured to paradise. (Translation: boomers are getting old and they want to see burning flesh one more time before they die.)
