@ShamashAran As I understand, this has basically been the strategy 4chan has employed, under “lex loci machina”, which is basically to say “We are an American company, under American law. If your citizens want to pretend to be Americans to use our services, that’s your problem, not ours.”

@darlingstrawbie Rev’s a lucky guy.

10/10 lunch. No notes.

@ShamashAran It needs to be along credit score or something like that. People won’t like it, but people who can’t manage their own finances shouldn’t be directing the finances of the nation.

@nekaishi I don’t think they’ve considered this: Back when lenders wouldn’t issue women credit cards or loans, it was because they weren’t confident the courts would help them collect against a woman.

If the court won’t women liable for murder, why would it hold them liable for debt?

@SmugAlana I know it’s not your fault, but I can’t stand what it’s doing to language.

It’s bleeding off the net. The other day a guy said to me “Yo, that’s a spicy aaaaaaah sandwich.” Like he’d gotten input lag in a Wendys.

And hearing “unalive” makes me want to light myself on fire.

We may want to hang on to some repos of the old kernels… you know… just in case all the vibe-coding spaghetti ends up as a tangled mess on the kitchen floor.

[Fireside Alpha @firesidealpha]

SemiAnalysis' Jordan Nanos reveals the OpenAI engineers scrolling their own kernel code had no idea what it did line by line, and it didn't matter because the AI does

"It's not slop, because it performs, but it's literally just AI-generated assembly basically puked out in Gluon, this low-level kernel programming language that they built on top of Triton, which uses this really interesting programming model."

"The point is, the guys who were scrolling through this code with us, it was kind of clear that they know a whole bunch about hardware, they know a whole bunch about the concepts in the system, and they just have no idea what this MLA kernel that they're showing us for DeepSeek actually does."

"You can go line by line and it's like nope, nope, nope."

"But it doesn't matter. The AI understands it, the AI tests it, and you see the results. It produces correct kernels that perform really well."

"And I think this is just a sign of what's to come again."

"That actual code is not necessarily something that a human has to reason about deeply, if the AI knows how to manipulate the data movement and the processing elements on the hardware that you've given it."

@pipkinpippa If it upsets you, because you aren’t optimizing for time - it’s existential frustration.

If not, it’s just apathetic listlessness.

Unless it comes from the Ojai Valley, then it’s just sparkling boredom.

[Tusky @WalrusCavalry]

@pipkinpippa So just like, any given Clint Eastwood movie?

[Tusky @WalrusCavalry]

Sounds like it’s just a proposal for now, but this would be a terrible, terrible idea. If you raise the risk in a relationship, people just won’t. It’s like the people writing these are incapable of processing 2nd order effects.

It just keeps getting worse

@SmugAlana When it’s off golden-time you might want to get somebody to check out your system. A pipe just exploding in the summer means it was overpressured by like 10x. If it’s that overpressured it’s just gonna happen again.

Unless it’s rodents. Mine was rodents. 4 times.

@_josephine0_ Way better, honestly

@nxd1979 @riktov “Americans are the least traveled people on the planet.”

“Americans must fully learn a foreign language before visiting somewhere.”

Which one, Euros?

@UmariTomoe Look on the bright side, even if you’re old, you’ll never be as old as me.

@adammocklerr Just one more free stuff program, bro, come on. Just think about what good you could do with more free stuff. I can’t believe you wouldn’t give kids more free stuff. Nobody has to pay for that stuff, it’s literally free!

Don’t you know what free means?

@cafreiman I always like to ask if they’ve read *Basic Economics*, not to be insulting, just because it quotes Lenin as he is coming to terms with why communism doesn’t work.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Truck carrying 40,000 pounds of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer has been stolen in California, in what's believed to be the largest “beer heist” ever.

@BrianAtlas Imagine being the prosecutor on this.

Step 1: Play the video for the jury.

There is no step 2.

The propaganda around data centers is manufactured by Chinese bot farms. Fact.
