One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Most people think being rich fixes all your problems

So you work yourself to the bone, possibly taking great risks to get there

Then you finally make it and you realize that being rich is even better than you imagined

@patrickdoddboy @HSVSphere @ThePrimeagen Just because AI can do that doesn't mean "real" code is going away

Code is just a specification for which operations to perform, the AI is not going to magically infer the correct ops for every case

Try getting AI to create MQuickJS in another language, without referring to og

Loops are another psyop

They just want you to spend more tokens, anon

@imherefortheoil What a miserable existence to be an old man in such a world

I'd rather clear my mind than live to see that

However, nature does have a way of mending after a while. I still have hope that once things get bad enough both sides will agree that it's not "settling" to commit fr

My, probably incomplete, understanding is that mate selection pool size hasn't been disproven nor has the growing opportunity cost (the opportunity being "I could spend this time on myself instead")

Would actually love to be wrong about this though, because if I'm not...

No matter what your theory about birth rate collapse is, there’s some data point that disproves it. Japan didn’t have the pill when fertility collapsed. There are highly patriarchal countries where fertility is collapsing. It’s collapsing in countries that are still poor. It’s collapsing in places with more generous social support for families. It’s almost like a psychic alien just decided to phase humans out.

@imherefortheoil Channeling my inner boomer here, but it was very obviously a better social environment for families when getting divorced was seen as an emergency escape hatch instead of just a normal thing

The older folks I knew all had big loving families around them at the end

[Proziam @Proziam]

@imherefortheoil It was pretty common in my age group already, but my adoptive parents were in their 40s already when I was born

As a result, I had a very different family/social group that skewed older and values to match. It was a culture shock to learn how others view marriage/relationships

[Proziam @Proziam]

@imherefortheoil I got married at 23, because I really really wanted the kind of life my parents had. They were a perfect example of what a successful marriage looks like.

I don't regret trying, but the outcome wasn't what I was hoping for. Now, I'm 34 and am considering what comes next

[Proziam @Proziam]

@imherefortheoil If a man is serious about having a family with multiple children I don't see how they'd have any other option these days

Dating a woman in her 30s significantly impacts that. Plus, you need to be well off enough to support the family which takes time to develop

[Proziam @Proziam]

@imherefortheoil Paradox of choice prevents pairing during peak times

Then at 30 she's used to doing her own thing, and giving up independence feels like a big sacrifice

Finally, at 35+ she finds out the opportunity to have kids might be lost soon, and she scrambles and settles

They divorce

@AutisticOvrflow This is a huge understatement lol

[Proziam @Proziam]

I had the same opinion until this year

I currently have accounts with hundreds of thousand of dollars in them that are restricted because Revolut refused to accept documents (that they said they would accept) after they were notarized

Without them accepting, the accounts are 🔒

[@levelsio @levelsio]

So deserved, Revolut is an amazing company and significantly changed my life

Before Revolut I had so many problems with banks

I used to have a Dutch bank called Rabobank who would freeze my card at random times while I was traveling, and no they didn't even have an unfreeze button in the app, I mean they barely had an app

I'd literally have to fly back to Holland and go into the bank office in my tiny hometown to then make an appointment with them to unfreeze it

One time in I think 2014 I was in Bali and they froze it, I flew back and at the bank office they said it was time for me to get a mortgage, when I said I didn't want one they said do you have insurance? They were freezing my card to then use it to make me come to their office to then upsell me shit

Another time in 2017 (I think some of you remember) they froze my card in the US, and with no money I became homeless, luckily X (back then Twitter) helped me out and you all ordered Ubers for me on request and @manuthan gave me a place to sleep at @outsiteco in Venice

You don't hate dinosaur banks enough!

After experiencing all that I got Revolut and I never had any issue like that again

(Well except for moving to Portugal where I was forced to open a Portuguese bank account at MillenniumBCP, which was possibly an even worse experience than Rabobank, my premium package private banking account manager would always be unreachable and only email me to tell me she'd go on holiday and would be even more unreachable 😂)

Revolut has been my main bank app for the last decade and it's been wonderful, I've pumped millions through it and it barely flinched, sometimes they ask me documents to prove where the money comes from, but that process is super smooth and via chat

Revolut is another great example that you can make something that makes everyone's life significantly better and society will reward you by making you rich!

@TheWizardTower Vouch

My time working with @TheWizardTower was great, and his work was solid

Can confirm he knows the above party tricks, and also has good taste in literature

[2/2] Since I don't ever make this kind of video, I'm sure it could be done a lot better, but hopefully it gets the point across. I'd love it if people who specialize in this kind of video started looking at the broader issue.

@ludwigABAP @onehappyfellow I think the first chicken wing you eat as a side to your pizza tastes better than the pizza

Not sure the 12th wing clears the pizza, but the 1st wing is something special

@HSVSphere @scoopdiddy1 @zack_overflow Win some, lose some

We need to make DARPA great again though

[Proziam @Proziam]

@HSVSphere @scoopdiddy1 @zack_overflow Agree, reading about darcs their view of branches seems pretty interesting, I do like this philosophy quite a bit.

Surprised I hadn't heard of it until now, but I suppose we can thank the success of linux for that setback

[Proziam @Proziam]

@HSVSphere @scoopdiddy1 @zack_overflow One day I'll actually pay attention to what I type and not let the words in my head forget to arrive on the monitor

@HSVSphere @scoopdiddy1 @zack_overflow I do like jj but tbh I still the the golden path of vcs has not been found yet
