@paulg Is the first line a restatement of the parent post? The most common pattern I notice in AI replies is “agree and add another perspective.” The agreement part solicits a like from the parent poster, which X treats as a strong positive signal.

@giansegato @pmarca Trusting AI enough to give it a chance is still the #1 underrated skill in tech. So glad you got your report back!

@Vocsolo @pmarca The valley is loaded with brilliant people with no learner modeling. Some approach persuasion like error correction instead of education, doubling down in frustration when people resist the intelligent jerk. Some give up and stew silently, waiting to be recognized.

I have found it, the Platonic form of every New York Times op-ed.

@dueapp Curiously, the correct value appears as an option in the drop-down menu. But it's not selected by default.

@dueapp This looks like a recent regression in the macOS release. Note the "repeat" disparity between list view and edit view. Seen in desktop Version 26.4.1 (10607). The mobile version correctly shows that the task recurs every fourth Friday in all views.

@KokoMikel2 @depressionlesss Mine too, a dozen years back! The black kitty (Root) was very defensive of her sister (Pepper). They spent all of their time together.

It’s easy to work from an engineer’s personal passion outward. Generic small talk is noisy. People send confusing signals with mirroring, people pleasing, affiliation signaling, status calibration, …

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Even though nerds are socially awkward, its actually easier to hang out with them than with smooth people, because standards are lower. You don't worry that you might be making social errors; all of you always are; so it stops mattering.

@kepano I've wondered: Does marking a post "not interested" contribute to relevancy scoring on a broad scale? Or does my act only inform X's choice of what I'll see next?

it kind of sucks that working out, eating healthy, and sleeping well solves like 90% of mental health issues. like i wish it was all bs and there was some big esoteric reason for and solution to it all but no it's basically just Not Abusing Your Body

@readswithravi It’s a great quote, but not Nietzsche. https://t.co/JNEaPjLfxy

@Jason @NYCMayor How did he decide which tax payer to doxx like this? Is this random or revenge?

[McGroarty @mcgroarty]

@seevua Amusing to watch, but we sometimes say it’s “a solution in search of a problem.”

[McGroarty @mcgroarty]

@cmb @Jason It would be helpful if it didn’t repeat links though. On mobile, we can’t hover over links to see the destination and X doesn’t visually differentiate already-visited links. I stopped trusting these links after a few articles appeared repeatedly.

Today I learned: The worm (larva) in some mezcal bottles (not tequila) was never a Mexican tradition. It was done as a gimmick, mostly for American tourists!

[McGroarty @mcgroarty]

@Sachsenblut @yifever Yes, and flatter land.

[McGroarty @mcgroarty]

@Codie_Sanchez Useful framing, but missing the number 1: People judgement. Hire people who aren’t receptive to the mission, or who can’t execute? Then nothing in that list matters.

@tunabelly I see the 120s option in the newest update. Thank you so much! I'm experimenting, and it's doing a nice job with GPU-hungry 3D apps. The fans don't spike so noisily, or as often.

[McGroarty @mcgroarty]

@tunabelly Would it be feasible to allow TG Pro "Auto Max" "Auto Boost Gradual Time" settings longer than 1 minute? Some models have enough thermal mass that lower speeds can get the job done, but not in under a minute.
