My dad sent me a ChatGPT generated picture of him driving a truck (he owns a truck) and I tried convincing him that if he’s gonna use AI to at least makes images that can’t happen in real life so he sent a picture of me visiting for the holidays

the best part of succession is that it never used flashbacks tbh. a whole show about familial trauma and abuse was weaved into the way everyone interacted with one another, that specific kind of pain you can only pick up on based on how siblings fight and share stories

Tim’s big issue, and it’s reflected in Epic’s entire strategy, and why Valve succeeded and will continue to assuming they stick with it.

Valve is not like innately better or more benevolent. Well, maybe a little, but at the end of the day they are a business, and out for their benefit. Which, in an ideal world, is about making the product customers want at a price they can afford. Epic is doing the same, but the issue is in who their customer is.

For Valve, players are the consumers and the product they sell is access to the developers and publishers. To that end they facilitate things via consumer facing features that better facilitate this.

For Epic, though, the publishers and developers are the customers. This is why all their strategy was targeted at them, lower cuts and all. The players are a resource they want to give access to but they fail to understand cultivating it. They tried brute forcing it with exclusives and free games but lacked even basic player friendly features and to this day are way behind. Their concern is, as demonstrated here, about how these things affect the developer.

Valve’s premise is based in the idea that customers want to know and it costs them nothing. Epic’s is that their customers want to hide it. It’s ‘unfair’ to their customers. Meanwhile, Valve goes after price parity cus it’s ‘unfair’ to THEIR customers.

Once you figure out how a company is oriented this way their behavior makes sense, stripped of moral pretenses.

people don’t realize that the majority of toilets go unused all day

imagine a future where your toilet can go out into the world and make money for you

imagine renting out your self driving toilet to your neighbours

i had the pleasure of reading the narnia series as an adult and cs lewis' care for the child audience comes through so clearly in his writing voice. i think it's clear that he wanted an adult to read the narnia books out loud to a child, so the child gets the double dose of the adult's care and lewis's care. it's beautiful. lewis wanted the child to feel wonder and yearning for narnia so that as an adult they can feel wonder and yearning for the good, the point is the child's moral and spiritual development

children's-books-that-are-therapy-for-the-author are the exact opposite of this, the child and their development has not been centered, the intended experience is instead to regress the author to a child, and nobody has a vision of what adult maturity should look like or consist of or be built from

PSA: when you wake up, reach for your phone immediately. Do NOT scroll Instagram reels. Send a good morning message. Not to your girlfriend, to Claude.

That way, you can start the clock for your 5 hour Claude Code usage limit while you freshen up and head to the office. At noon, the 5 hour window would have passed and the usage limit would reset. Then you can generate more shareholder value.

Training a depth model on more datasets should make it generalize better. When we tried this with ECoDepth, it actually made it worse. We weren't able to explain it, so we decided to ship single-dataset models. Two years later I finally know why. [thread]
