I am fascinated by how bad I am at predicting which of my posts will do (relatively) well.

Guy talking to himself on the subway: “I can’t watch a movie or read a book. I’ve got no attention span. I like those short clips. Once AI goes Quantum, it’s game over. Black hole. Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass good bye. The cat in the box isn’t dead or alive. Shit will go exponential. You know what computers hate? Rust. You know what causes rust? Oxygen. AI takes over? Boom. No more oxygen. It doesn’t want to kill us. We don’t want to kill ants. But we’ll kill a whole colony on accident and not care. They’re so small, just like we are to AI.”

Cursor has made some UX updates that are really good, but at the same time the output has gotten much worse. Keep getting slop that sounds just good enough for me to waste time trying to understand. Lately I've been shunning my robot friends and rubber ducking the old fashioned ways, and wow it feels good.

I watched Gattaca for the first time yesterday and really enjoyed it. I have been really excited for faster DNA sequencing and engineering possibilities, but now I'm wondering how do we avoid creating the world of Gattaca?

Why do I have to submit a request to use more than 0 CPUs with my personal AWS account and wait for someone to approve it? Pls just take my money and give me compute.

The fact that we can't `SELECT *` in graphQL makes me want to throw my computer at a wall. Same with the fact that we can't `SELECT * EXCEPT` in psql.

Can you hide what the new names will be until the price is hit? Would be fun. Pump the token to discover the new name. The new name could reveal anything. Possibilities are endless. Some major leak, either directly through the name, or the name could be the key to decrypt something. Examples: the secret phrase to reveal the identity of an anon cast author, a document full of secrets, or the seed phrase of a wallet with a lot of money in it. https://higherrrrrrr.fun/protocol

I've always messaged myself for work to think clearly. These "brain logs" allow me to load my train of thought back up into RAM when I come back to a task. I just realized that a lot of these messages are one part of my brain writing LLM prompts for another part of my brain.
