is there any proven way to make time go slower?

I have never once in my life encountered someone expressing this sentiment. Either I live in quite a bubble, or Ezra Klein does.

really enjoying Hermes + Qwen 3.6-35b

works the way i expect, and anticipates what i should have specified. less janky than openclaw and the open model is the right balance of efficient (cheap) and capable for my needs.

web UI is 👌

What happened to us

[mark @markmulvey]

@Birdyword yes take even more money from people and give it to government officials where they will definitely spend it wisely and efficiently

it's important to continue confiscating individuals' abundance and wealth to keep citizens at similar levels of mediocre so no one feels bad

If you’ve never actually used open-source, open-weight AI, then you might be brainwashed into thinking this

Once you use it, you realize everyone should have the ability to use it and “safeguards” preventing us from using it is the real Orwellian nightmare

[mark @markmulvey]

i for one am excited by our robot future. let the clankers take more of our drudgery.

if you feel you would face an existential crisis without your drudgery then perhaps now is a good time to pause and reflect

Heard Of Skara Brae?

You should have as it changes history.

In 1850, a farmer discovered a hidden village.

Later, it was found to be older than the Great Pyramid of Egypt.

Archaeologists estimate that the village was home to about 100 people.

The village was known as "the Pompeii of Scotland," or Skara Brae. The houses were connected by tunnels, and each house was sealed off with a stone door.

An ancient site on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Scotland, remains shrouded in mystery to this day.

Overlooking Skyle Bay on the Mainland Island, the largest of the Orkney Islands in the North Sea, once stood the Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae.

According to archaeologists, this settlement consisted of about 10 houses and is believed to have been inhabited by ~3100 BC or perhaps a 1000 years or more earlier.

This represents what may become an even larger site spanning dozens of locations.

Now you know.
