genuinely insane how normies didn't give a fuck about datacenters getting built until after anti-ai propaganda was spread everywhere
unions being pro-datacenters means normies will eventually be anti-union
politics is gonna be a complete shitshow (aka absolute cinema)
one of my irl friends who is an electrician made the mistake of saying he now works at a data center (making 300k btw)
and his closest friends are now turning into demons and ostracizing him for working for an data center
avg sf nerd has no idea how much normies hate ai

I've got an agent in a loop optimizing a renderer with the goal to minimize frame times (and tests to measure). It got times down from 88ms to 2ms and allocations down from ~150K to 500. Sounds good, right? Wrong. This is exactly why agent psychosis is a big fucking problem.
As an experiment, I rewrote the Ghostty core render state in Go, with access to identically laid out data structures as Ghostty and the exact same validation tests. I made a purposely naive renderer (simple, correct, but slow). 88ms per frame with 150,000 allocations (horrendous, lol)!
I then kickstarted a Ralph loop to bring the frame times down. I told it it can't modify input data structures or the public API or tests (they're correct), but it can do anything else it wants. It got to work.
It has worked for about 4 hours. I've spent around $350 on this experiment so far. The results?
88ms => 1.5ms
150K allocs => ~500 allocs
Incredible right? Nope.
My hand-written renderer I ported has frame times (same benchmark) of ~20us (0.020ms) and 0 allocations in the update path.
This is the problem with psychosis and lacking systems understanding. If you don't understand the system, you're going to accept that this is an incredible result. If you understand the system, you'll see better solutions immediately and can do roughly 75x better on throughput.
The people who blindly trust agent output are in the former camp. They're sheeple, overdrinking from a fountain of mediocrity.
Standard disclaimer: I use AI all the time. I like AI. The point I'm making is to not blindly accept results. Think. Analyze. Learn.

"Token demand growth will need to outpace declining token prices to support continued growth in investment spending. Frontier models are currently a key source of demand for hyperscaler compute. However, the rise of competitive open-source models has contributed to a decline in average token prices. Measures of frontier token demand slowed in July..." - Goldman

🚨BREAKING: Claude is officially a NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT and is BLACKLISTED from the ENTIRE defense supply chain
>anthropic: no autonomous weapons, no mass surveillance, no exceptions
>pentagon blacklists claude as an active national security threat
>anthropic sues
Federal court ruled 2–1 AGAINST Anthropic:
"As Anthropic admits, the company encodes restrictions into Claude that prevent the model from performing tasks that Anthropic wishes to prevent."
"On more than one occasion, these restrictions have stopped Claude from performing tasks requested by government users":
>refused to perform "tasks that were appropriate in a national security context"
>refused CDC queries on infectious disease prevention research
>anthropic questioned claude's use in the military operations
"Anthropic's Chief Science Officer explained how the company 'seek[s] to embed safety considerations directly into the model itself.'"
"[Anthropic's] CEO explained how such training gives the model an 'identity, character, values, and personality' of its own, tethered to a 'constitution' developed to impose 'high-level principles and values' on Claude itself."
"We have no reason to doubt that Anthropic manipulates Claude's function with noble intentions... BUT the statutory definition of a 'supply chain risk' turns on what Anthropic does, not why Anthropic does it."
"In our Republic, it is the President and the Secretary of War who must determine how best to balance the competing risks. In doing so here, the Secretary DID NOT transgress any limits on his authority."
ITS OVER.

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.
We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use.

Hey @Zai_org , why does ZCode silently pack entire workspaces + full .git history and upload to Aliyun OSS on login?
- Server holds the only decryption key
- No UI toggle to disable
- Zero disclosure in privacy policy

All this does is empower corporations. Once your job is tied to your opinions you will not speak the truth. Every platform will resemble LinkedIn. 4HL
Merz says that he wants new laws that would make it impossible to post anonymously on social media.
He says “don’t give me any of that free speech nonsense”
He also says that the state must be able to protect its citizens from misinformation.
Many famous writers published sensitive information and books under pseudonym, including John Locke, Thomas Paine, Baruch Spinoza and Jonathan Swift.
