@conorsen More Educated =/= more affluent. Like sure a PhD in Philosophy puts you at the very elite in educational attainment but that doesn't necessarily translate to awesome job opportunities in the workplace.

@DrewSav Most liberals in the west don't like to hear this but Modi is very competent and also by far the most pro-Western government India has ever had.

Hindutva is an appeal sure, but the biggest issue is that the opposition just sucks.

Excited to announce the launch of https://t.co/Q5uVDSjiVK!

If you’re a Python developer and have been frustrated by the tedium of managing your deployment and hosting, Phemeral was made for you.

Phemeral is a hosting platform made specifically for Python web services. It makes it super easy to deploy, host, and scale Python services. It removes the complexity of packaging your own code and managing your own compute.

With Phemeral, you can write your Python services with your preferred framework (e.g. FastAPI, Flask, Django, Litestar) and package manager (e.g. uv, Pip, Poetry), no need for a special configuration file or otherwise. Connect your GitHub repo to Phemeral, and it will automatically host your app on Phemeral’s managed cloud. Continuous deployment comes out of the box: when you push to your repo, Phemeral automatically redeploys the new code.

A couple projects that people have hosted on Phemeral:
https://t.co/OBBsMnk6IO, a platform that connects couples with photographers
https://t.co/CXqXZb9AgJ, a flexible, dynamic, and modern python based cms

If you have a Python application you’d like to host, deploy it with Phemeral!

@JacobWolf :( sorry to hear this, my condolences.

@siri0s_ @signulll Singapore is great but it is not at scale. It works as a city state under constant supervision but it is basically comparable to SF

This little illuminated dragon is very happy about Pretext. He's too busy having fun to care about people's "hot takes" on how "it's not that special."

(This little dragon also only works on desktop right now but maybe I'll do mobile later)

@hthieblot Not sure if it works if I can reply :D

[Nilu Kulasingham @nilukulasingham]

@levelsio this is a pretty cool feature

[Nilu Kulasingham @nilukulasingham]

@t_blom Pretty sure @gustrigos's runtm does this already - I had a fun time breaking it

[Nilu Kulasingham @nilukulasingham]

@maxmarchione @bentkennedy yeah but this can't really distinguish between an IQ of 130 or 150 IRL - or even 125 or 150. My tested FSIQ /GAI is 146 / 157 but unless you take an officially proctored test, it's very hard to distinguish. Even at Mensa meetups it's impossible to tell.

[Nilu Kulasingham @nilukulasingham]

@NickBaere @Jupupa1 @Noahpinion indeed I am!

[Nilu Kulasingham @nilukulasingham]

@Yair_Rosenberg yeah I don't think this is true at all though, most Democrats are against this war because it's Trump but they are not even denying that the Iranian regime is problematic. If Biden / Obama was running this then the reaction would be very very different.

[Nilu Kulasingham @nilukulasingham]

@Jupupa1 @Noahpinion Sure but now you aren't measuring IQ if you don't renorm - you can say general intelligence has declined sure, but IQ is an explicit relative score that gets renormed otherwise it is no longer measuring a quotient

[Nilu Kulasingham @nilukulasingham]

@Jupupa1 @Noahpinion This isn't really true - I'm a Mensa member so I know this pretty well, but WAIS is normed in the US and then renormed in for each country. And then it gets renormed every couple of years or so the next WAIS will be normed with w/e the next global population is.

@lambda_thoughts @gokulr sure but no founder is going to give you a 2 mil val after going through YC

@rajivayyangar Having same bug as others where mine is not showing up, will send a dm

@hthieblot don't really agree with this tbh, the beauty of gaming is shared experiences, hyper personalization means stuff like walkthroughs, discussion forms, lets plays etc become less accessible. Every frame being generated removes the joy of sharing the same experience with others.
