The cool intellect must work not only against cool intellect on the other side, but against the muddy heathen mysticisms which deny intellect altogether.

Reading LotR has always been on my bucket list. Finally finished it after starting in January. Lot more singing than I expected. I feel a little bereft now but in the best way 🥲

Things said to an LLM in the last week:“WTF is a qubit?” “How the fuck we scalin’ this shit to 500,000?” “What’re the levels to this quantum shit?” “What are the chances this happens in 5-10 years?” “Should I sell or buy more?”

[Kitz @kitzsey]

Keeping eyes on this list. Very tempting to buy some of these

[shirish @shiri_shh]

bro was right.

Atlassian down 75%. HubSpot down 69%. Figma down 86%.

Almost all of them down 30–70% from their 52-week highs.

AI is literally eating software alive and repricing every company in real time.

SaaS is cooked fr 😭

This is a dopamine loop, and it’s one of the most powerful ones humans have ever encountered.

Every time you prompt an AI and get a useful result back in seconds, your brain gets a hit. Variable-ratio reinforcement, same mechanism as slot machines, except the reward is real: actual output, actual progress, actual leverage on your ideas.

Traditional work follows a delayed-reward structure. You write code for 6 hours, maybe it compiles, maybe you get feedback in a week. The gap between effort and reward is wide enough that motivation decays constantly.

AI compresses that loop to seconds. Effort → reward → effort → reward. Your prefrontal cortex stays engaged because the next payoff is always one prompt away. This is why people describe it as “fun” when they’re actually working 14-hour days. The subjective experience of effort disappears when reward frequency is high enough.

The “harder than ever” part is real too. When your bottleneck shifts from execution to imagination, you run out of excuses to stop. There’s no “waiting on the build” or “blocked by review.” Every idea you have can be tested immediately, which means your brain never gets a natural stopping point.

People who thrive on this are selecting for a specific neurotype: high novelty-seeking, high conscientiousness, tolerance for rapid context-switching. That’s maybe 10-15% of the population.

The other 85% will experience the same tools as overwhelming, not energizing. And that split is going to define the next decade of who captures value from AI and who gets displaced by it.

@unusual_whales Quitters never win. Had the same exact narative being thrown around in my 20’s (millenial here) and I said 🖕 that and made it a goal to not be a statistic. Got off social media and started hustling. Living wonderfully now @ 35, best days ahead of me

@WasemAdam @FluentInFinance Just bought our first home here! 25% down on a 600k home, rate is 6.1%. Second kid came three days later & just got the roof replaced. We’re in love with our home 🙂

George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1789:

"By the President of the United States…

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor— and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to ‘recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.’

Therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.

May we all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks— for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation— for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war— for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed— for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted— for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed— to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us— and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Under my hand at the City of New-York, 3rd of October in the year of our Lord 1789."

@ouranometrian2 The Sacred was fully alive for ours in 2023 but that’s very rare these days. We got to wear the sickest 👑’s too.

But yes, so many people are throwing out the central piece to marriage: God, and replacing the sacred and tradition with materialsm and “feelings” IMO

@LukeWat48544961 @tbm_13 @NorthernLawYT @WindowsLatest Here's what fixed the majority of the ones I've had. Running the scripts first tends to fix most. If the scripts don't fix initially, I move into redownloading Webview2 which has fixed maybe 1 or 2

@LukeWat48544961 @tbm_13 @NorthernLawYT @WindowsLatest It was supposed to be from what I read but I’ve had ~10-15 computers on 24H2 with it broken. I currently have three on 25H2 with it still broken. I rolled one back to 24H2 for testing, still broken. Sometimes my fixes work briefly but on these last ones, the issue returns.

@tbm_13 @NorthernLawYT @WindowsLatest I work in IT. We solely use Windows OS. The amount of broken search bars on Windows 11 is astounding. You click in the search bar and it just loads and loads and becomes unusable

@solaverbo Look up Luke 1:28 in Greek. “χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.”
In English:
Chaire, kecharitōmenē, ho kyrios meta sou.
Translated:
“Hail, Full of Grace, the Lord is with you”
