@TomMoyerUT @Noahpinion F35 can stop all drones by bombing the chip fabs.

@paulg Strunk & White "Omit needless words" is in my CLAUDE.md

@tszzl Too easily gamed by climbers. As soon as people use it as a metric it becomes useless.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@Austen If you double the estimated water per year for Stratos to 2 Billion gallons.

6137 acre ft
Alfalfa requires 4 ft per year
1534 acres of Alfalfa
4.3 tons of Alfalfa per acre
$200/ton

Pay a farmer $1,319,240/yr to not grow Alfalfa

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

@Austen Capitalism is great. I use Claude Code everyday. He's right. In fact, 50% is a screaming deal. Privacy and copyright law wasn't written for a world where you could take peoples words, and recreate their brains. Human knowledge is a public good just like oil.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@SenSanders AI companies should even support this deal...while they still can haha.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@SenSanders Not often I agree with Bernie here, but this is obviously the right way to do it. 50% might even be too low haha. Copyright and privacy law didn't foresee the ability of companies to recreate your brain's reasoning facilities from the words on the internet.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@mert @SenSanders It's not theft. Companies have recreated the reasoning facilities of millions of human brains from the content on the internet. This legislation reflects that.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@coryfromphilly Trains are very loud.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@Vivek4real_ There isn't some set of knowledge and reasoning data that's out of the public view though. The smartest things we know we publish.

@QuinnyPig @Noahpinion When my startup does make money, it will be because I used compute I got from a MoviePass style operation!

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@QuinnyPig @Noahpinion Lets not get ahead of ourselves. I mean I use Claude Code all day everyday on my startup, but I don't have revenue yet. We've just moved up the supply chain to the Chip FABs haha.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@mattyglesias You should run this like Jeopardy!

What is your opinion of Andrew Tate?

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

We absolutely _MUST_ get academics to stop naming things after themselves. The cognitive waste associated with this is in $ trillions $.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@Noahpinion That's fine. But the community I grow should support me in my old age. Not you.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@Noahpinion Which is super useful btw, and will change all of our lives over the next 20 years!!

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@Noahpinion What's happening with Erdos problems is the same as what happened to Chess. The model can solve Erdos problems because it can brute force search all the possibilities in mathematics.

@mattyglesias Biden was apparently a centrist. I think Democrats are going to have a VERY difficult time convincing moderates that they mean it without changing the policies.

[Dustin Currie @codingbryant]

@mint_spinach @Noahpinion Agree, the tradeoff is a miniature amount of Alfalfa or game changing amount of AI.

Pretty easy trade. Send a little less Alfalfa to the middle east.
