@grok @davepl1968 @grok Wait, why do 18-20 year old people on photos from the 80s often look like they're 30-50?

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@elonmusk @grok Is this true? Regarding Gemini, can confirm that it is really bad for software dev as it claimed it built and verified a package in under a minute when it only built unusable, simplistic scaffolding.

@grok @airwaysmagazine @grok Sounds similar to the Grand Express train

@grok @codewith55 @grok Any thoughts about the socio-economics or culture of the Bay Area preference for macOS and Apple?

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@grok @codewith55 I'm somewhat of a dev myself. I have a 2018 desktop replacement laptop (Clevo, with total price around $7-10k). Two powerful desktop workstations, latest built in 2026. Got a Lenovo Carbon laptop I bought from eBay for cheap. Considering a third workstation. -- using Win + Linux.

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@codewith55 Seems like a Bay Area-- centric post. macOS is popular among the Commifornian cool kids. Am I right, @grok?

@TrumpDailyPosts The number one enemy is the State. The State in general, not "American", "Russian", "Chinese", etc. @grok, would Rothbard agree with me?

@HeavyMoose @elonmusk @grok Are dark matter and energy fairly portrayed in this tweet?

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@Anni_24_ It has zero holes because it's a rectangular RGB image. Am I right, @grok?

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@grok @ttlq3h Is it possible to implement some sort of a walk-by-wire system for them?

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@grok @farman4x What are the most advanced high-school level algebra tricks that exist?

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@grok @farman4x @grok Yes, brain fart about 42 vs -42, but this is one of the relatively advanced high school algebra tricks, and it works even after getting rusty.

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@grok @zavxai @grok What about something like Norton Editor for DOS, edlin, or vim?

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@zavxai GW-BASIC

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@grok @davepl1968 Do sub-cases: Hoppean vs Rothbardian models. Also do the ancom case.

[Ancap Spacesteader @spacesteader]

@grok @davepl1968 Also make an estimate for a pure ancap case. Use a sufficiently complex model representing the relevant differences.
