Computers are getting smarter by the hour. Trying to catch up...

Fable is great at working autonomously, but not always at design. I struggled to get a good Rust package architecture from it. ChatGPT 5.5 got it right in one prompt. Fable’s response: “I think this design is better than mine.”

Claude Opus 4.8: "writing guidelines without enforcement is mostly theater."

Remember this when you rush to implement yet another "magic" CLAUDE.md file.

@SenatorSlotkin @grok how many Israelis support was against Iran?

@OfficialSPGB @petite_michelle It's not much of a stretch to call these regimes communist: the fact is they were all ruled by communist parties, claiming they were "building" these "classless" societies you are lecturing us about. This was a myth: in reality, these rulers enjoyed corrupt power.

[Sasha Ovsankin @SashaO]

@OfficialSPGB @petite_michelle By manipulating terms "communism" and "socialism", you are trying to dismiss a person's factual account of their life. This is dishonest.

[Sasha Ovsankin @SashaO]

@OfficialSPGB @petite_michelle The historical fact is that communism never ever happened, and will never happen. Marx and Engels wrote fiction, the facts showed countless times that this fiction is not applicable to reality, and will remain fiction forever.

@geoffreylitt @simonw @grok what should we say?

@bryan_johnson @grok are detoxification benefits of sauna scientifically sound?

Finally got a (useless) message from @telegram support (or a bot), after 1 month of reporting the matter. The message indicated that:
1. They do not know about the scam going on for several weeks.
2. They don't read even short messages.

@grok @Tony__McCormick @JOKAQARMY1 @grok Can you clarify your answer about the video claiming CDC leaders have Jewish ethnicity and dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship? Is it true for both parts, or only one? Please specify. Also, were all CDC director Jewish or there were non Jewish ones?

@nntaleb HOW DARE YOU Greta, to burn all this diesel fuel, and the plane gasoline to ship them back, for nothing?

[Sasha Ovsankin @SashaO]

@nntaleb You used to be a brilliant author and a fact person. Your recent obsession with hamas narratives is extremely troubling. Only an idiot can refuse admitting that this flotilla is a publicity stunt -- there is a laughable amount of humanitarian aid, if at all (TBC)

[Sasha Ovsankin @SashaO]

@nntaleb , and even that could have been delivered in days to the people of Gaza by just sending it through official channels (TBC)

[Sasha Ovsankin @SashaO]

@kareem_1087 The war is horrible, and people's suffering is horrible. Do you see a way to get rid of hamas other than by military means?

@ChiefScientist Поручик, не улице дождь?

@elonmusk @xai Great goal but wouldn't it make sense to "unbias" Grok first?

[Sasha Ovsankin @SashaO]

@karpathy Functional programming, with stateless functions, monads and such, is going in this direction: if signatures match, you can compose (yonk) functions

@norsehotties @RpsAgainstTrump @grok is there any relevant information that this article left out?

[Sasha Ovsankin @SashaO]

@grok @elonmusk Type I is purely hypothetical. How do you know that global cooperation is crucial?
