I’d like to be that composed. No stress, confident, no explanations

@onionweigher I really hope so. There are so many in my area that seem to be trying to grow from old stumps, get big, get sick, and die.

This has been the case for my 30+ years of programming - starting with App Maker, and Hyper Card, and Super Card. They all make the first 80% easy - and the last 20% nearly impossible. But it is all good - lowering the bar will give us new ideas. VisualBasic, Excel as a database...

@thechosenberg I'd go straight to the many worlds hypothesis and tell him everything has a 100% chance of happening.

@EileenChollet If knowing anything about CUI makes you feel even smarter, you likely have two problems. Great thread BTW.

@realchrisrufo @elonmusk Maybe there is a smaller amount of consequence at this level as they are learning.

When I've worked contracts, we are thrilled to get an extra 0.7% profit. When I've gotten raises, an extra 0.7% is always welcome. If that 0.7% is being used against our interests, then let's get it fixed. Sixteen days in - call it 0.5%, (365/16) * 0.5% = 11% If this leads to an 11% decrease in spending over the year, then it starts to be quite real.

@Morgan_C_Ross They might have me with Lego

@DataRepublican Inherently thread safe I hope.

@the_engi_nerd My group warns of the 'self licking ice cream cone'.

One woman I respect greatly considers @PressSec to be her new spirit animal! Truly awesome.

Reposting because this feels right - not sure how I'd prove it though.

@DataRepublican And very nice work. Thanks

@awstar11 I wonder if it is about their level of defense spending

This one amazed me. Three of the four men, some having been kept awake for more than 30 hours and all interrogated for long periods – one for 13 hours straight – by shifts of well-rested Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies, confessed in writing following the interrogation.

@billprady @SamNobley Salt river in Phoenix is dry most of the year by the time it gets to Phoenix. Even when there is water in it up stream.

@shaunmmaguire I think the singularity may have happened. I think deep seek and things like it will come out faster and faster. But we will have to build solutions that just plug in the better things that come out. Maybe there is a limit to how fast the singularity can propagate and rearrange civilization. And the limit is similar to the limit on how fast one can feed a black hole. There is radiation back pressure - the disk can only drop matter in so fast without disrupting itself.

@AJamesMcCarthy Jupiter for the mass.

@Jordan_W_Taylor I plan on buying another Citroen DS like I had in my youth. Or a seaplane.
