Beardy Stanford professor Robert Sapolsky argues we are ~clockwork ('Determined' 526 pages), grand-beardy occultist Alan Moore believes we dwell eternal in an immutable 4D crystal ('Jerusalem' 1266 pages)... here's the Twinnies (1:36), proof for everyone, no beards required.

holy shit there is nothing that can prepare you for when they cut to the interview

@truffle @sudo_overflow You can skip studio entirely with Claude Code, push straight to prod from github commit, run ads (~$0.01c per install), watch your own real-time metrics & join live servers to watch players, then iterate live, break things and fix them in ~2-5min cycles.

@hthieblot I did some redeye flights to pitch east coast VCs back then. If you made it through the cultural hedge maze between parties any term sheet would have new extraordinary PE-style unmovable terms. Later you'd discover the other party had sent four competitors term sheets.

@NathanpmYoung btw https://t.co/4ghw5VC569 is not loading data for me. Curious to read about the community notes project.

[Daniel James @capncleaver]

@GenAIRoblox @honam Try Claude Code, it's great at Roblox / LUA. Setup rojo for studio and github actions to commit push -> production (~45s), run ads as you ship, test in prod, break and fix things for the new players live with that nice fast feedback loop.

@vintagestuff4 My daughter has a fried-egg beret that she picked out when she was maybe eight. Also, I believe the great fry-up remains an important icon of British Culture, which back in the ~1960s was quite silly.

@gfodor Curious what 'in a VR harness' means in terms of agent's direct experience of the world?

@dev__cycle @deepfates it's all about the cape bruv

@lisyarus pretty like a woodblock print, great job

@devahaz @VirtualElena @netcapgirl The Sentinel, still strong after what... twenty years?

@mbateman AMZN is their largest shareholder, I believe. $4 BN in 2023, another $4 BN in 2024

@elaifresh Ahhh, I missed that detail. With the new-ish 'the city maintains your trees' policy it seems likely there'll be less canopy over streets. Also, you should check Venice in LA -- visiting recently we were amazed by the 'tree tunnels' on some streets, felt like France.

[Daniel James @capncleaver]

@elaifresh I think your filter may be excluding trees in parks alongside the streets -- Buena Vista Ave, for example, around the park is thick forest on one side, likewise Fulton alongside GG Park should not be white?

@0thernet Beautiful, thanks for posting. Reminds me of Keith Jarrett, here's one my favorites: https://t.co/5AVGjkcR6K

In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country

[Daniel James @capncleaver]

@_MichaelOswell_ @RivalDealer26 Oooh a clean version of a beautiful place in the country (live) -- this has always been one of my favorites, music fit for a cathedral. Thank you!

[Daniel James @capncleaver]

@markdotdev Thank you! We're still working on it ;)

[Daniel James @capncleaver]

@Jonathan_Blow @auderdy Fair enough, though I hope you stay in one of the neighborhoods when you visit :) NOPA / Divisadero for example is much 'nicer' (certainly fancier, ymmv) than it was in late 90s / 2000s. Even St Pete's has some less salubrious areas, no?

@jhong Another aspect to this is that Amazon seems to do about 10x Tesla + SpaceX revenues and operating income (P/E of ~30 vs. ~300 for Tesla), more like Berkshire, although lower margin (for now.)

[Daniel James @capncleaver]

@jhong Probably, although I think their datacenter capacity is similar, G has more for internal use. Zoox is cheaper than Waymo but may yet compete. Mostly I was comparing to Tesla + SpaceX + X + ...neurolink? My bet is on Amazon (and Alphabet.)
