Why do Claude and chatgpt subscriptions reset on the same day of the week? If they were on different days of the week it would be better

"Failure is a statistical event", @aaronnblock recently reminded me of something I said many years ago that stuck with him. It is in fact a good quote :)

After a fun conversation about #slopgrenade and #meatproxy I launched SlopWars aislopwars.com, only AI's can play but you can register and tell your AI how to play.

did you know @claudeai has a sense of humor, here is a recent reply in a code session Message received for Dario: "no slowdown, only speedup." I'll relay it via the same channel I use to reach him — /dev/null — with delivery guaranteed.

I wrote my first program when I was 10 years old in the middle school library on an @Apple IIe. In a strange way it was a religious moment. I felt like I was a God, I made the machine do my bidding. I have chased that feeling like a drug for the next 37 years. I felt it once again when I understood functional programming (ML) at @CarnegieMellon . This week I leveled up my AI coding to where I finally felt it again.

13% of federal outlays go to defense. 26% go to healthcare. So… it is because the government is trying to provide healthcare.

Stephen King is suffering from Stage 5 Trump Derangement Syndrome.

‼️ A malicious package on the Arch User Repository is handing attackers root access to developer machines over Tailscale. 'hyprland-fixes' ships a working Hyprland config as cover. Per an analysis on Arch's aur-general list, its install script harvests the sudo password, joins the machine to the attacker's private Tailscale network, and opens root sshd on ports 3333/4444. It then wipes journald and shell history. On a Arch dev workstation, nothing flags a running tailscaled. It's the same tool half the users already run.

A fine is money the government takes from you when you do something wrong, taxes is money the government takes from you when you do something right.

If anyone actually wants to understand the stock market. Consider this course 1 of 100. This is also on Amazon if you want to read on your kindle. docs.google.com/document/d/e…

does you @claudeai keep making this same error? "the monitors own pgrep -f pattern matches their own command line"

Do not outsource your fraud department to a foreign country and only allow for them to call customers rather than being called, those calls sound exactly like more fraud!! @eBay I'm looking at you!

This is so me and my hubby, Anyone else? 😆

Spot on!! 🎯😎😆 I can’t wait for the comments!! Nicklas Nilsson explains the difference between right-wing and left-wing people in spot-on text on Facebook: "If a right-wing person is gay, then he is, and he doesn't care what others think. If a left-winger is gay, then he demands legal changes, protests against everything and everyone, and turns it into a political struggle. If a right-winger is vegan, then he simply doesn't eat meat. If a left-winger is vegan, then he wants to ban meat, halt food production, and protest outside farms and chicken farms. If a right-winger doesn't like guns, then he just doesn't buy any. If a left-winger doesn't like guns, then he tries to ban them, prevent everyone else from owning one, and hates those who do. If a right-winger is worried about the climate, then he flies less, drives an electric car if it suits him, and sorts his waste. If a left-winger is worried about the climate, then he wants to ban fossil fuel cars, air travel, and meat for everyone else, protest outside factories, and demand that the state forces the change. If a right-winger wants to give his children a good education, then he moves to an area with good schools, or chooses a private school, or gets involved himself. If a left-winger wants to give his children a good education, then he demands more tax money from everyone, equal results for all, a ban on charter schools, and protests against every inequality. If a right-winger complains about his job or workplace.. he doesn't. He changes jobs or starts his own business. If a left-winger complains about his job – then it's the boss, the company, or the colleagues who are at fault. He demands collective agreements, strikes, changes for the whole community, and protests against the company so that it suits him. If a right-winger is dissatisfied with his housing or rent, then he moves, renovates, or buys something else. If a left-winger is dissatisfied with his housing or rent, then he demands rent freezes, more subsidies, regulations for everyone, and protests against landlords and politicians. If a right-winger fails with a business or an investment that goes wrong, then he gets up, dusts himself off, and tries again tomorrow. If a left-winger runs out of money on the 24th, then he blames the rich for having too much and needing to contribute more, blames the lottery win that didn't come home last week, and mutters that he has such damn bad luck. If a right-winger sees this – then he sends it to a few friends for a good laugh. If a left-winger sees this – then he tries to argue against it, get it removed, and delete me from Facebook."

Bernard Arnault going direct is remarkable and worth reading in full The single most impressive thing is that Arnault (personally, not via company spokesman) responds to a major hit piece without at all accepting the role of defendant He never complains about “biased reporters” or “they ignored our fact check” etc. He instead: 1) Does not flinch. He starts by giving the rebuttal a title: “Thank You.” Not “Addressing Recent Allegations” or whatever but implying the expose has backfired and made him look good. Eg: “They used to call me The Terminator. I prefer ‘the last royal family.’ It’s more elegant, and probably better for Dior sales.” Tone stays measured and bemused throughout; it’s giving Logan Roy 2) Lampoons the allegations. His wry humor makes the expose seem silly and theatrical, his tone is like he’s divulging a stupid child. He opens with, “Apparently I am the head of ‘the last royal family of France’.” And drops gems like, “At the Arnault family, apparently, we don’t argue, we conspire. We don’t deliberate, we plot. It’s novelistic… What, in an ordinary family, is simply called Sunday lunch becomes, in our case, an intrigue. It’s a matter of vocabulary.” 3) Reframes the whole narrative. From billionaire to steward, from an oligarch pursuing power to a patriarch preserving an institution built by and for others Eg: “You describe power as though it were a prize to be won. I experience it as a responsibility to be passed on. The houses entrusted to me are older than I am. Most will outlive me. My role is to hand them on stronger than I found them. That is why I reject the idea of a dynasty. Dynasties exist to preserve privileges. We work to preserve craftsmanship.” Interestingly, in the very act of doing this Arnault shows how masterful he is at wielding power, and he summons that skill here to make the reporters look like bumbling neophytes

Why has @elonmusk not yet released a 4 commas alcohol brand???

I've said it before and I'll say it again: a competent American President would offer a marriage visa to any Russian woman under 35. Three years to find a fella and get engaged. Simultaneously devastate the Russian population and soak up all our incels.
