"Hey Claude, there is this urgent hotfix I need. Just saw the Slack message for the bug, bit confused, but this is what you need to do -- <exact steps>"

Claude: "Got it, this slack message is confusing, it cuts two ones, one worth being honest about, fixing."

"Fuck the Slack message, fix the bug you bumbling idiot"

Claude: "Drop the insults. Ending conversation"

If you put Peter Thiel above your hot girlfriend you might actually be a fucking idiot

[Sparsh Agrawal @sparsh_17]

If a hot girl is more important than talking to peter thiel, you shouldn't build a company

Partly because Bombay has segregation. The “poor” live in specific neighborhoods, the middle class and lower middle class aren’t considered Bombay but more so Mumbai - iykyk.

And even in the upper middle class, there’s entrenched circles going back to school. Maybe kids just don’t leave the city. Many kids are commuters. Meanwhile Delhi is more strongly transplant.

[sammm ☆ @onlysammms]

delhi is objectively ass bt the people have LORE, every delhi person i meet is some new character. mumbai men on the other hand are mass produced in a factory. lalaland, drake/carti. “i’m into film/music/fashion.” same haircut. same personality. same 3 opinions. i’m tired 😭

I can’t find my 3 signature scents :(

YSL Y
Azzaro Most Wanted
Dior Sauvage.

Additionally, I’ve fallen in love with 3 new colognes. I can feel my cologne obsession possibly returning.

Yogeshwar Dutt’s 2012 Olympic bronze, won with a severely swollen eye that left him with almost no visibility in his left eye

His medal was later upgraded to silver after his opponent was found guilty of doping, but Dutt declined it out of respect after his opponent passed away.

@CJHandmer Awesome Casey!

[Casey Handmer @CJHandmer]

People generally have no idea how much the past sucked. It's fun to study history but anyone who genuinely romanticizes the past I struggle to take seriously.

Even the recent past was miserable by comparison with today, but the pre-industrial era was a total horror show on every axis continually.

Reply here with your hypothetical pre-modern name, location, and year of birth and I'll give a quick summary of how your life went.

I'll start with a historical character, my 5th great grandfather John Jones, born ~1812 in northern Wales. Illiterate. Orphaned. Laborer. Married at age 33 (already ahead of 75% of other men in that era), 12 children, all but 2 died in childhood, moved (voluntarily) to Australia in 1849, financially ruined at least twice, alcoholic, wife died suddenly aged ~45, unable to care for surviving children, who variously ran away, ended up in some hellish convict era Australian orphanage, drowned, etc. Disappeared in custody c. 1860.

Presenting Earmarky!

Was tired of Audible's web platform. So I built a native Mac app instead.

Earmarky lets you download, stream, and sync your entire Audible library, with adjustable audio quality.

Not to be mean to this person, but India has a literacy crisis. A majority of the population can’t read or write in English meaningfully, or know how to type in their regional language and use unstandardized Roman script with their language, and dialects, and it results in a functionally illiterate population.

[Rahul @Rahul71618414]

@augustdeploying So he attended because you attended. And he is great if you passed out from BU and Shraddha and Abhishek dropped ?

[august (foss/acc) @augustdeploying]

@gendev01 Nope, I always keep it to &lt;10 tabs

My Chrome keeps crashing on Mac, and Slopus or Fable aren't able to fix it because they're lazy. Everyone's just shipping bugs.

@lola_danger1 @breckyunits How’s that related to my tweet? I just don’t think SF is a productive city

[august (foss/acc) @augustdeploying]

BU has some official transcript and one certificate that comes from some portal for like 70$. He could post it, not sure what that would do since it is politically smarter to not reveal, they would just move on to the next thing. COM has openly said he's a grad, though. I'm sure if he didn't graduate, it's not too difficult to reinstate F1 Visa and complete the credits. COM just isn't that difficult to graduate from either, it's just expensive.

[august (foss/acc) @augustdeploying]

As a BU graduate, I hadn’t heard of Abhijeet Dipke during my time there - partly because I graduated right as he joined, and partly because BU is a large university. Unless someone moves in your immediate academic or house-party circles, you’re unlikely to know of them.

That said, it is abundantly clear that he attended BU, and the university itself has officially confirmed as much. I’m not sure why this particular claim inspires such disbelief. BU is a good school, and I loved my time there - especially in retrospect - but it is hardly some impossibly exclusive institution. Getting in is achievable. Graduating is achievable. There is simply nothing inherently implausible about his having attended.

You know who else attended Boston University before dropping out? Shraddha Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan.

[Gillfied⁷ @Gill_Iss]

Prakhar Gupta confirmed, Abhijit Dipke didn't Graduate from the Boston University😭🎙️;

His two friends who studied at Boston University and when they checked Abhijit Dipke's records, they found no record of him there🤣🔥

Look at Sonam Wangchuk's reaction : It seems like he knows something too🙂

[august (foss/acc) @augustdeploying]

I really don't get it. Majority of Indian graduate students have heavy accents, and speak with their Indian dialects of English, if at all. BU is a mid-tier school, it's not selective.

A lot of Chinese students are still learning English fluency as they go along. In California, you'll find zipcodes where you just have to speak Spanish. It's really not that hard, espcially COM, the school he went to.

[august (foss/acc) @augustdeploying]

@Gill_Iss @j8amitt BU is not even prestigious man, fuck kinda allegations are these
