Take a look at this amazing freestyle scratch from the duo Kaiharubro from Japan! They are scratching and mixing on the Gang Starr beat from the song “Full Clip.” The technical skills to cut on time is phenomenal to witness.

Did you see ANDROID KARPLAY went to anthropic even though he’s the cofounder of openai? Did you see that one tweet from that one junior investor (that everyone thinks has a learning disability) that openai is cooked? BROOO did you see that sundar pichai’s demon wasian twink just dropped omni models at google I/o today? Oh my god, they’re building twinks en masse at this robotics company that I saw a demo video for this weekend. And that paired with the latest interaction models from thinking machines that’ll count the number of fruit I name in 30 seconds is going to go crazy. We literally live in the future bro, trust me, just ape semis and fucking chips bro. Not lays bro, im talking wafers, like fucking nanometers bro. Did you see that chamath clip that Taiwan isn’t gonna be a strategic asset in 18 months time? Yeah I’ve been following chamath for a while, all the aunties used to call me chamathu growing up because I was super well behaved. But anyways that guy was weather a sick ass sweater when he said that Taiwan was below his bottom line. oh by the way, did you catch that 13F from leopard ashenbonner bro? he’s gonna eat like a leopard after all his trades make him money bro. You gotta full port into his positions dude, just trust me. Anyways, I’ve been using /goal recently in codex and I was reading thariq and jxnlco’s tweets recently and they’ve been fire bro, I’ve been pushing so much code to my private repos broooo. It’s too good bro. Just trust me, you should try it out dude. Hooooly smokes, I’m so productive these days, at work they call me Hellen Keller kooolaid man the way I be moving. Straight up blind folded and running through walls man. I caused so many production bugs, but it’s okay I just have claude opus mythos preview ligmacock 6.9 version just fix it for me bro. Look I even have this app on my phone so I can code from my fuckign shower bro. Im so productive.

Here is a huge positive to modern life that gets no press.

I have an old 2009 Toyota, and the AUX port crapped out about a year ago. Went to YouTube. Young, enthusiastic guy explains how to fix it.

It is not obvious - involves taking the dashboard apart in a counter-intuitive way, but once you see it, it's a 15 minute fix.

There are actually dozens of videos showing how to do this, and they collectively have well over 200k views.

Had this happened in 1995, I would have just lived with it. But the combo of the replacement AUX jack available from Amazon and the video of the simple (but not obvious) fix, I fixed it.

I HAVE DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES. Replaced the control panel of my dishwasher. Replaced the ice maker in the fridge. Fixed a wonky sanding head on my drill press. Mastered a bandsaw technique that I use for my sculpture. On and on and on...

I think it is likely no exaggeration to say billions of fixes and skill upgrades have been performed worldwide that would not have been performed if it were not for the instruction freely given peer-to-peer on YouTube.

Take a moment to be happy about this. The busted item keeps performing, rather than going to the landfill. The person learning and doing the fix gains a sense of mastery and saves money. It's an unmixed blessing.

Stop doomscrolling. Think of what is busted in your house, find the YouTube video on how to fix it, and fix it.

Mirroring AI's struggle with "jagged intelligence" ;)

[Max Zeff @ZeffMax]

Musk's lawyer brought a big monitor (maybe 36 inches) into the courtroom. OpenAI's lawyers asked to use it. Musk's lawyers said no. The judge told Musk's lawyers they have to let OpenAi use it. Then OpenAI said it might not be possible to connect their laptops to it.

@stevibe Have you tried it? It's fast but it seems to struggle with zero-shot, prompt-heavy schema extraction. Good for some OCR but not all.

After a year of scientific scrutiny, a rock sample collected by the Perseverance rover has been confirmed to contain a potential biosignature. The sample is the best candidate so far to provide evidence of ancient microbial life on Mars. https://t.co/0BAO1dhMG8
