@neetcode1 Right, I’ll believe the AI Chief of the company with quite possibly the WORST AI product on the market. Uh huh…

I find myself often sitting, watching Claude do seemingly nothing for 10... 20 minutes or more. No token burn, nothing. I wish Claude could provide me a clue as to what's going on during these moments.

[tedward @TheEdWood]

Why does #ClaudeCode even have settings if they're just going to ignore them? Explain this, @AnthropicAI

#TACO on a Tuesday. How fitting.

@Justinmoon It’s a good thing FIPS wasn’t already an industry wide acronym or anything.

Most companies don’t have AI risk.
They have credibility risk.

@barkmeta Jesus, even your own post cites this fact. Silver and zinc often come from the same raw ore but there’s no evidence to support any claims that this is going to be used to process silver ore directly.

[tedward @TheEdWood]

@barkmeta It literally took two seconds to bust your conspiracy. The smelter was built to process Korean zinc. It’s unrelated to any of this: https://t.co/1cwDzYrKC1

@FintechKristen @jack Respectfully, this is not P2P and calling it that is disingenuous at best and misleading at worst. CashApp is a middleman. No company will ever provide true P2P payments because there’s no sustainable business model in it. Full stop.

Been playing around with a really neat tool written by Simon Willison that produces a more usable view of a thread than the native Bluesky app. Unfortunately X doesn’t have such an open API so I’m unable to adapt it to X threads… shame that X has become such a walled garden

Just unfollowed all the crypto garbage. I can’t believe I fell in to that trap. Trading and investing is one thing but that crack is straight up gambling.

@stoolpresidente Yeah, real heros sit behind their desks while “totally not encouraging others to commit acts of violence” on their behalf. And while we’re at it, he can condemn every one of his constituents who has called for blood on the other side of the aisle… didn’t think so.

TIL that spending hundreds of hours thinking about statistical probability and building discipline to adhere to trading strategies crosses over so well with playing Blackjack at the casinos. Make a plan, execute, learn, repeat, profit.

Hilariously delusional if you think any of the current currency alternatives can replace the dollar. Most of the ones I’ve heard tossed around in Twitter are pegged to it. How do you think that’ll play out? 🙃

[S.L. Kanthan @Kanthan2030]

Dang! President Lula gives a revolutionary speech in Shanghai, openly challenging the dollar hegemony! 😱

At a speech at the “BRICS Bank” — whose new president is former Brazilian President Mrs. Rousseff — Lula said this:

“Every night I ask myself why all countries have to base their trade on the dollar.”

“Why can’t we do trade based on our own currencies?” This drew loud applause from the audience of Brazilian and Chinese dignitaries.

“Who was it that decided that the dollar was the currency after the disappearance of the gold standard?”

“Why can’t a bank like that of the Brics have a currency to finance trade relations between Brazil and China, between Brazil and other countries?”

Conclusion: Dedollarization is a geopolitical hurricane that the US cannot stop. This will be the end of the US dollar’s preeminent role as the world’s reserve currency as well.

The rise of a multipolar world is akin to the decolonisation that happened after WW2. The fate of the American Empire will follow the trajectory of the British Empire.

@DataNeel What, you don’t trust your _totally real and no made up in a video game_ waifu to do your taxes?

In all seriousness though. Gamifying doing taxes would probably take off if made a little less… niche. People love gamified versions of boring activities.
