I wonder what would have happened in an alt timeline:
1/ Sufficient supply of both interceptors and courage
2/ Ayatollah surrenders, secular republic installed
3/ Iranian men and women celebrating
4/ Iranian oil transferred back to the partially western pre-1979 ownership
I suspect most of the Sinkie pwn sinkie attitude comes from excessive blue light in the city. If we mandated red filter glasses for the populace, kindness might find its way onto our little red dot. In the name after all.
Not my usual style to post half naked photos, but what the hell... ๐คฃ
Also 49, no AI, no photoshop, pure human labor.
I encourage people to compete on health, not wealth rankings or lambos.
More health, more family = true wealth, and happiness.
GOT CLAUDE TO LAY A ROMAN MOSAIC PIECE BY PIECE, AND IT LOOKS 2,000 YEARS OLD
Saw someone get Opus 5.5 to build a LEGO duck out of real parts and wondered what the ancient version of that would look like. Asked Claude Code for a Roman mosaic instead.
It starts with the eye, 9 tiles for the pupil, a ring of gold around it. From there it keeps going, row by row, the way an actual mosaicist would work a wall, not generated, laid.
7,878 tiles by the end, every single one a real 3D stone catching light differently depending on the angle. No image model anywhere in this. No video model either. Just code, running live in the browser, placing one tile at a time until a duck made of stone 2,000 years ago shows up on screen.
I CALLED IT.
It's happening y'all. The singapore gov has launched a pilot programme for a gov-run dating service. Looks like the pilot is currently restricted to just government workers for now.
Word. Thanks to my Montessori education, I couldnโt read or write till I was 6. Too busy playing with dough and sweeping floors. My spelings stil reflekt dis fakt.
Came across this point as well some years back from a friend who specializes in early childhood learning and special needs education. And also that 5 is too young to learn how to write.
When visiting various childcare centres/kindergartens to choose a suitable one for my kid, the main theme that I got was that aside from early childhood learning, a big focus was also on preparing them for primary school.
Even the most โwesternizedโ of Montessori schools here have this tacit acceptance that their clientele, Singaporean parents, will never be comfortable with their kids only learning how to read or write in K2, the final year before primary school.
And all these despite the fact that all exams are scrapped in the first 2 years of primary school.
