@The_G_Genie Not Kirby 64????

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

@Aella_Girl @simonbiddle hey that is not true

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

sports headlines sometimes sound like gibberish

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

@introsp3ctor @simonw common gateway interface, not computer generated imagery. not sure if that helps

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

@rand_longevity @BioLayne It is sort of fair that the general public does not handle nuance very well

[Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE]

On the https://t.co/zyBbIpTQNy website, the "log in" button was not in the top right on the navbar like it is on most websites. It was weirdly placed in the middle of the page below the fold.

An IRS engineer explained that the *soonest* this change could get deployed is July 21st... 103 days from now.

This engineer worked with the DOGE team to delete the red tape and accomplished the task in 71 minutes. See before/after pictures below.

There are great people at the IRS, who are simply being strangled by bureaucracy.

9/ models probably focus only on final answers, formatting, and other surface-level factors without adequately accounting for the validity of the reasoning process itself.

@sama 970 thousand of those were me, sorry i'll turn off the script

@JohnStossel """

What a silly critique of the world happiness report

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

@JohnStossel """
notably it does not make them report higher levels of happiness at any particular moment
"""
That's exactly the point of using the cantril ladder question. It's intended to be a more stable and reliable indicator of subjective well-being than asking people if they're happy.

This is simultaneously completely believable and also shocking

[Yegor Denisov-Blanch @yegordb]

I’m at Stanford and I research software engineering productivity.

We have data on the performance of >50k engineers from 100s of companies.

Inspired by @deedydas, our research shows:

~9.5% of software engineers do virtually nothing: Ghost Engineers (0.1x-ers)

@WesWeather What's the Eat Outside Index tonight?

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

wait which move is banned? every single thing she did would kill me

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

The banned "Dead Loop" of Olga Korbut, 1972. It was the first and last time the trick was documented.

It's fun to think about how the medium we use to write something has its own "reward shape" for the word choices we make..

I've wondered similarly what it would be like to have an app that slows you down when you use simpler / shorter words:

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

Writing things by hand is annoying but it's superior to typing for learning/recall.

I've wondered what it would be like to have an app that tries to imitate some qualities of handwriting

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

idea: an AI powered voice service that screens suspected spam calls...

AND. It keeps scammers and spammers on the line for as long as possible

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

don't do this. it's totally fine to make other people cringe. Let the people cringe!!!

[Jeremiah Warren ◡̈ @jeremiahjw]

I’ve never quit anything cold turkey as fast as i did with reaction gifs when I heard that gen z find them cringe

[Jay Kelner @J____A____Y]

@tekbog That is so sad.. He should be using Claude 3.5 Sonnet instead :(((
