most people are not psychologically ready for the possibility of a permanent underclass

what I dont get about LLM companies is that surely you can make them understand language to a point where it defers certain tasks to certain routines. like "oh the user is asking me to pick a random number, let me run a random number generator in python"

Claude code and codex getting updated 15 times a week is not a good thing and is very annoying.

I pin the version on anything that runs unattended, the update can wait until I have time to see what changed

The mileage run has been dead for years. The new status move is paying a fee to put your rent or mortgage or your taxes on an airline credit card. Today United, the last holdout, made it official: starting in 2027, flights won’t count toward United status at all. 1K will take 32,000 qualifying points, and the old path of 60 flights plus 22,000 points is gone. Delta, United, and American will all measure how much you spend, and card spending counts at all three. I used to do mileage runs. I once spent a Saturday flying Boston to Boston: Chicago, Houston, Dulles, Newark, then home. I didn’t need to be in any of those cities. I needed the flights. Frequent flyer programs were supposed to get you to fly more frequently. Now a customer who swipes every day can be worth more to the airline than one who flies every week on cheap fares. And status buys way less than it used to. Delta sold about 14% of its domestic first-class seats in 2011 and 88% by 2024. I went deep into the strategic moves that got airlines, and us, here, and what I actually book on now, in this week’s Business Class: readbusinessclass.com/p/why-…

Dear god — I’m becoming an AI maxi just by observing how stupid the ai bears are

This is insane. A massive system of population control and subordination through compliance is coming with AI, and last night I felt it for the first time. Claude refused to access a news article because the NY Post lists Claude’s bot as disallowed in its robots.txt file. This will only get worse. Claude will soon refuse to do any knowledge work related to link building for SEO because it’s “against Google’s policies.” In the future, Claude will also issue automated fines for swearing in public or for overtaking a cyclist at 5 mph on a straight road with no oncoming traffic but a solid white line in the middle. We are sleepwalking into a mechanistic, 100% compliant, 100% AI controlled world where the only people allowed to “break the rules” or think outside the box will be those controlling the AI companies.

Canadians have this reputation as being aww shucks nice guys, but every single one I have ever met has been a complete a hole

Can someone explain why supply-demand hasn’t lowered home prices?

People will more or less stop going to restaurants when a robot can cook for them at home which should answer this question for you.

正直、酒を完全にやめられたら人生どれだけ楽になるんだろうと思う。 別に毎日酒が飲みたいわけじゃない。 ただ、大人になると本当にやることがない。 仕事が終わっても、休日になっても、結局やることといえば飯を食うか、酒を飲むか。 金があっても、時間があっても、自由になっても、意外と人間の娯楽なんて限られている。 しかも酒を飲めば翌日は体調が悪いし、金も時間も失う。 だから最近思うんだよ。 人生で本当に難しいのは、金を稼ぐことでも、自由な時間を手に入れることでもない。 酒を飲まずに過ごす夜を、心から楽しめるようになることなんじゃないか。 みんな酒を飲まない夜って何してるんだ？

good luck dealing with partial derivatives dumbass

I've read this 3 times and feel like I'm losing my mind. Tao is comparing an AI math proof to an AI cancer cure, which is insane enough by itself. But the point of the comparison is that just like you would obviously rather die from cancer than accept an AI cure a human doesn't understand, we should reject AI proofs that mathematicians don't understand. The mathematicians have truly lost their minds.

It’s interesting that when Canadians hear the word “London”, we picture something different than literally the rest of the world.

日本には領土問題があります 日本人全員が知っておくべき問題です 「竹島」は日本の領土です コリアが国際法に違反し 不法占拠し続けています 絶対許してはいけません 微力ながら 毎日言い続けます #竹島は歴史的にも国際法上も日本固有の領土です

Extremely implausible that this is true given how much Asians hate stimulants

The only people crying Canada is terrible are the poor ones.

My wife and I are trying to have a kid. We’ve had a couple miscarriages, one of which was particularly rough, which sucked. But I will say that it cracks me up how romance goes completely out the window. She’ll be like “Sex. Sex now. Sex me now now is the time that sex matters”
