They also aired the episodes out of order, leading with the 3rd one instead of the 1st.

Hes a racist piece of shit that was a core part of the alt rights “race realist” movment under a pen name until he got popular under his real name. Someone outted his racism and he suddenly “rejected his earlier writtings.”

Threads was “preseeded” with accounts by anyone who was on instagram. Its how threads suddenly had a 100 million users when it released.

Only so they can use the projects in advertising without their consent:

So I asked Rich Felker, the maintainer of musl libc, about the FUTO grant, and he didn’t know anything about it. Rich and I spoke about this for a while and eventually Rich uncovered a transaction in his GitHub sponsors account from FUTO: a one-time donation of $1,000. This payment circumvents musl’s established process for donations from institutional sponsors. The donation page that FUTO used includes this explanation: “This offer is for individuals, and may be available to small organizations on request. Commercial entities wishing to be listed as sponsors should inquire by email.” It’s pretty clear that there are special instructions for institutional donors who wish to receive musl’s endorsement as thanks for their contribution.

The extent of the FUTO “grant program”, at least in the case of musl libc, involved ignoring musl’s established process for institutional sponsors, quietly sending a modest one-time donation to one maintainer, and then plastering the logo of a well-respected open source project on a list of “grant recipients” on their home page. Rich eventually posted on Mastodon to clarify that the use of the musl name and logo here was unauthorized.

I also asked someone I know on the ffmpeg project about the grant that they had received from FUTO and she didn’t know anything about it, either. Here’s what she said:

I’m sure we did not get a grant from them, since we tear each other to pieces over everything, and that would be enough to start a flame war. Unless some dev independently got money from them to do something, but I’m sure that we as a project got nothing. The only grant we’ve received is from the STF last year.

Neovim is another project FUTO lists as a grant recipient, and they also have a separate process for institutional sponsors. I didn’t reach out to anyone to confirm, but FUTO does not appear on the sponsor list so presumably the M.O. is the same. This is also the case for Wireshark, Conduit, and KiCad. GrapheneOS is listed prominently as well, but that doesn’t seem to have worked out very well for them. Presumably ffmpeg received a similar quiet donation from FUTO, rather than something more easily recognizable as a grant.

Go to costco.

Extra cluster fuck challenge: go when they have samples.

Its always okay to protect your mental health, even if the person causing you pain is happy about the outcome.

I expect the wish would kill him too, and most of MAGA. They all want to take over Greenland.

It used real images of shrek and the moon to do that. It didnt “invent” or “imagine” either.

The child porn it’s generating is based on literal child porn, if not itself just actual child porn.

Download the games too. Up their infastructure costs.

He also got his pension for life after being hired back for 1 month and retiring medically for “PTSD.”

Murdering Daniel was so tramatic he requested they give him back the murder weapon, his personal AR-15 with “youre fucked” engraved under the safety.

Please, dont ever read Stephen kings IT.

Its…deeply fucked up. It includes a child group sex act that happens right before they confront IT directly, which empowers them to defeat it.

The context is more complicated than the above and is partly about a girl addressing being sexually abused by her father and partly about leaving adolesence for adulthood, but it is…a lot.

Like most his books back then, the byline should have said “Cocaine, with Stephen king.”

99 dotcom bust, 911, 2008 great recession, covid, idiot tarriffs and this ai bullshit, all while in the worforce.

Yeah, the older millenials be eatin lean cause they always been eating lean.

That is wildly expensive for a emotercycle, but maybe not if they are legitimate solid state.

Nope. Shes works at a VC in silicon valley and is close friends with JD vance.

No idea, but if that number is what youre fixated on, feel free to cut it down to 1/10 the size if that makes it easier. I think we can agree that even in Einstein’s time more than 280 million people were born on earth in 20 years, right?

If a generation is hypothetically 280 million people, who gets to decied and what are the criteria for the literal “greatest mind of a generation?”

Im glad we both think the statement is puffery, but the person I was replying to was saying this was a literal statement, not exaggeration. I really want to know their take on the above, as I cant find a way to square the math.

I disagree. Each generation is 20 years long. With a global birthrate of 140 milllion/year, that means each generation contains 2.8 billlon people.

If there is literally only one person per 2.8 billion that can fit that bill, then the world would never be able to agree on who it is. Who and by what standard is this literal “greatest mind of a generation” selected?

If the phrase is meant literally, it should be “the greatest mind in a generation that people in a paticular society are largely aware of” because otherwise its just unverifiable puffery.

Its a common phrase for an exceptional mind. Its not meant to be taken purely literally becsuse its untestable, but generally remarked upon in hindsight.

You can argue Newton fit the bill even though Liebniz was a peer of his. Einstein and Oppenheimer, etc.

1-2 hrs a day for a single person is wacky unless youre scratch cooking. Even then, you do it in bulk and freeze meals so those hours ripple across the week.

As an example, i made a batch of chili recently that took about 1-2 hours of actual labor in gathering ingredients, cooking and freezing. That worked out to 6 large bowls of chile. That 2 days of food if you eat 3x a day, but calorie wise its probally 3 days of food. I could have easily bulked those 6 servings to 9 with some rice/qouina/etc.

Tons of meals out there that are faster if you use some frozen things like mixed vegtables and meats/etc. 10-30 minutes of labor to get a days meals is fully possible. Its not hard to cook for a week with maybe 3-5 hours, depending on you level of skill and preferences.

Great info, but want to add that heat pump efficency is normally around 300%, which is why they are so cost effective. 1500w in a heat pump is around the same as 4500w resistive.
