@Sigdrifr @GarrettPetersen @sentientist wabi-sabi soulmate

[simoj @simoj_]

@credenzaclear2 I remember first hearing about it as a kid in the esoteric work “my cousin Vinny”

[simoj @simoj_]

@cynthiamcgillis If one is already doing everything else right, the constraint that still seems available to relax in your story is “matches her achievement level”

Maybe it’s psychologically impossible, idk

[simoj @simoj_]

@Romy_Holland I think “play fighting” between mates is ultra lindy, and this is kind of on that spectrum

Possibly they kept it private?

[simoj @simoj_]

@GarrettPetersen @sentientist Go hard for non-heritable flaws

[simoj @simoj_]

Dating tip: marry someone who would be out of your league if not for some non-hereditary damage like childhood lead exposure

You’ll be acquiring better genes for your kids than you could otherwise pull

I’m gonna delete the above, because I stupidly substituted B for C in a couple places, but I think you got my meaning

I mean, speed is the integral of acceleration, so max speed can only occur when acceleration is zero

But if it’s not a sine wave, realistic driving probably does hit exceptionally high deceleration only when speed is high

[simoj @simoj_]

@IsaacKing314 If the truck’s speed is oscillating, I think the min and max both look like B, with A and C as fixed points. (A and C are the points of max acceleration)

Which means on average all three would be equal

(Reposting to fix typo)

@Aella_Girl @RomeoStevens76 @kenthecowboy_ Ignoring the details of today’s discourse around RMN/Ivy, I think it’s easy to understand why this particular fetish is particularly alarming to many

And the idea that it might be socially important for someone to participate in a kink scene they don’t love is a serious bummer

[simoj @simoj_]

@tracewoodgrains But you really do need your kids to learn to want decent things

It’s possible that modern parenting is extremely bad at encouraging this, but when you see your kid being a little psychopath, the instinct to somehow make them update their utility function is understandable

[simoj @simoj_]

@ssskryl They say that’s why SpaceX will end up buying Tesla

[simoj @simoj_]

When xAI pivoted to sorta being a neocloud for Anthropic, it was a major failure because they raised equity as a lab, at a much higher valuation vs the book value of data center capex. But Meta’s AI capex only needs to deliver value like a big neocloud to be a win vs expectations

[simoj @simoj_]

@DeepDishEnjoyer Positive nominal rates are an abomination. If your friends aren’t scheming to stockpile paper notes to lock in above-market 0% perpetual yields, you’re barely in a civilization

[simoj @simoj_]

@ssskryl I feel like I do understand it, and I’m not salty about it

My main thought for the original post was that people are being too mean to Zuck about his capex, which is likely to have fine to great ROI

[simoj @simoj_]

@PstafarianPrice There is still so much inefficiency in the world, it’s crazy

[simoj @simoj_]

@WolfeFolks Idk, the market doesn’t seem to think being the API layer is so bad

[simoj @simoj_]

@ssskryl Being a neocloud has turned out to be a pretty rad business, no question. But the folks who provided that capital for so little dilution in exchange would have been pretty sad without a SpaceX bailout

[simoj @simoj_]

Do I have it right:

Twitter economics go south, investors in Twitter deal get bailed out with xAI shares

Then xAI goes south, and investors get bailed out with SpaceX shares?

I guess Elon takes care of folks who bet on him

[simoj @simoj_]

@AlexNoonan6 I guess I bought into the cope for like exurban Phoenix, but an affluent leafy suburb 1hr outside a top tier city is about the best situation one can possibly live in imo

[simoj @simoj_]

I will never believe Harry Potter was planned out from the beginning

Book 1: “I’m the dwarf Half-Pint Fuzzlebutt, I make magic candies that turn your farts visible!”

Book 5: The entire Fuzzlebutt family is tortured to death by vengeful survivors of the Pixie genocide

@corsaren My kid became pro death penalty when the evil fairy escaped prison and killed the beloved mentor (uh, spoiler alert)

[simoj @simoj_]

@PstafarianPrice @eigenrobot Yeah also confused here. Grandkid?

[simoj @simoj_]

Openrouter is back on its exponential. Chinese models dominating, and much more expensive Claude tokens doing well too
