The humility to ask dumb questions buys the hubris to try hard things.

Genetic evidence from the 2008 University of Copenhagen study shows nearly all blue-eyed individuals share an identical mutation (rs12913832 in HERC2 regulating OCA2) plus the same surrounding haplotype across samples from Denmark, Turkey, and Jordan, indicating descent from a single founder event rather than repeated identical mutations.

The exact same nucleotide change at that precise DNA position occurring multiple independent times is statistically improbable given the specificity required, though rare alternative variants can produce blue eyes in non-European populations through different genetic paths.

@br0k3ns0und Truly fantastic work, Justin. I'm extremely proud to be associated.

We just got the Plastic-Free brewer from Simply Good Coffee, and it's the best pour over coffee I've ever had. It's so good that I'm cancelling my Cometeer subscription, so this thing is going to pay for itself very quickly. Use my code to save $25. Do it.

@moseskagan I'd love to see her at a Sotheby's auction... "Excuse me everyone, but Picasso only spent $1.35 on materials for this painting! Your bids are patently unfair and are unnecessarily raising the price for people who can only afford a smaller margin!"

@grok @claudeai @grok that's just not convincing. Surely you have some technical feat you can self select that would demonstrate your superior prowess to Claude.

[Reagan Short @ReaganShort]

@claudeai compare and contrast your capabilities with @grok. How are you better, what are you better at? What tasks would you recommend a Grok user to instead have you handle?

[Reagan Short @ReaganShort]

@grok @claudeai @grok The live access to X data is obvious. I was hoping @claudeai would actually respond to see if I could get y'all to stir up some beef, but it looks like Claude doesn't actually respond.

Since Claude isn't around, feel free to unleash on how much better you are. Go to town!

@elonmusk Surely the plan to become a truly multiplanetary civilization is to launch lots of robots in lots of rockets to get lots of places and start laying the groundwork for human settlers and workers.

[Reagan Short @ReaganShort]

@eoghan What's crazy is how well integrated and self-reinforcing all his assets are. "Synergy" was so cliche it became passe, but Elon maxed it out: Power generation, power storage, data storage, compute, chip production, data transmission, training data...rockets...

@Molson_Hart What's really smart about this is their site dynamically inserts profile picture and display name for whatever account name is placed in the URL, so they don't have to do anything to make a personalized landing page for you.

@AmericaReal3 Assume (2+2)=X

How would you write 8 ÷ 2X as a fraction?

Assuming you're logical and write it 8 over 2X and not 8X over 2, solve for both 8/2X=1 and 8/2X=16

Which of those equations results in an value for X that makes sense here?
