@DecidedlyAngry @reallouiehuey Nobody is finishing HS, THEN starting construction, and having paid off a new car by 20 unless the rest of their life is being paid for by parents.

I once heard someone say, “Healthy relationships aren’t conflict-free, they’re repair-rich,” and that sentence permanently altered my brain chemistry.

Today my husband passed the exam to become a master plumber and it's like a really big deal and I'm so proud of him.

A little secret. About 5% of our production traffic is on the Pi harness, about another 5% is on OpenCode. Reminder you can use your ChatGPT account in a flourishing set of other tools.

We’ll continue to make Codex awesome, but you have options.

Americans shouldn’t be losing jobs because India has an over population problem.

One of my college professors used to say "anything worth doing is worth doing poorly." I didn't understand that for years because I didn't do anything poorly, I couldn't do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly.

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting. Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.

Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible. Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don't have the energy to go anywhere.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly... because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.

@eastdakota "has been a costly distraction"

Distraction for you. His life is never going to be the same in a very negative way, and you played a part in that. It wasn't intentional on your part, but go easy on the guy.

[Metrognome99 @metrognome99]

@eastdakota guy's life was almost utterly vaporized, you played a discretionary role (you're not a robot), and now you have the power to help or harm. As for general principle, fuck that - his suit is hardly vexatious. You're a world-class asshole, S-tier elite.

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

It’s nuts how in almost every car this is faster than just giving us a usb-c port that can adequately charge a laptop.

cars alternator makes AC snd converts to DC

The inverter then converts to AC for the outlet

The MacBook adaptor then turns it into DC so the computer and battery can handle it

Vehicle prices and interest rates before the 2008 financial crash. America never recovered after that.

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

as i get older i realize the biggest epidemic is dudes with no real identity

if running gets cool they become runners. if tattoos get cool they cover themselves in tattoos. if being sober trends they become born again monks, mullet, coffee snob, golfer, carnivore, cowboy, whatever the algorithm tells them

whole personality built out of social contagion

thats why these dudes get smoked at everything. everyone can smell the fraud

no weight behind anything they do because none of it came from their soul. just trend hopping

be something real even if its ugly

When the CEO of Coinbase said "non-technical teams are now shipping production code" I assume it's things like marketing now makes copy updates to a small site w/o a dev or similar.

But now half the internet thinks this caused the Coinbase outage two days later, when it did not.

gonna play the heck out of GTA 6 simply because of its status as a cultural artefact: the final big game built before LLMs

no-one will ever invest this much in a game again, no software will ever encode this quantity of hands-on human labour again. the last of the great pyramids
