"If you're so smart, why come not rich?" Meanwhile:
Tucker Carlson asks why algebra puts letters into numbers. Jess Elofson explains: "I think just to fuck with you." They discuss how they've never met anyone in their life who uses algebra, which is "fake math" for people "in the matrix." They conclude that caring about algebra is something that only "good little goy slaves" do.

If women on mood stabilizers don't have legal agency but can present normally and appear capable of intentional planning, how can we determine whether a woman is in a state of psychosis? Is there any test that can be administered before they sign legally binding contracts?

I just spent my entire $100 worth of free credits on a single Claude Fable 5 prompt, which it spent maybe 5 minutes thinking about, burned the entire $100 of credits, then gave up and refused to produce a response. Truly a $30 trillion business.

You are born in the one period of human history where you can go on the computer all day. Your ancestors never had that opportunity, don’t waste it by going outside.

Interview pro tip: if your interviewer asks you whether you're interviewing anywhere else, say "yes, waiting to hear back from [their biggest competitor]." Closers close.

Coldcard waiting for the class actions to hit

The Coldcard hack is genuinely one of the worst in crypto history not because of the amount of money lost, but because the victims were genuinely careful, did things the "right way", and still got brutally wiped out by a zero day that stole their coins from self-custody. That's worse than an exchange being hacked because it erodes the fundamental premise of cryptocurrency: that self-custody can protect you. With that said here's my 2c on how to avoid becoming a victim of this type of attack going forward: 1. Generate your private key using the Bitcoin CLI on a trusted machine (fresh OS install, offline). 2. Import your key to a hardware wallet. 3. Wipe the machine you used to generate your key. Lastly: don't trust any single method with all of your coins. Good luck.

Imagine living contemporaneously with Vladimir Putin and spending your days obsessing over Netanyahu instead. Is Netanyahu also responsible for the rotting garbage piled up all over NYC, or is there some elected person supposed to fix that?
Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Exciting times. This problem wasn't even that hard!
hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

Under the Ker-Frisbie doctrine, the Supreme Court birthright citizenship decision clarifies that everyone on this planet is officially subject to US jurisdiction. Welcome to the new world order.

New rule: Anyone who personally identifies as American, or alternatively, ate once in a McDonald's, is now an American citizen.

The birthright citizenship decision may be one of the worst SCOTUS decisions in modern history, the sort of thing that actually foments civil war by fundamentally dissolving the legal boundary of this country. The "subject to the jurisdiction" clause was never a carveout for birth tourism; it was actually the escape clause to distinguish American descendants of slaves, who were not subjects of any other sovereign jurisdiction, from foreign tourists and illegal invaders who cross the border and give birth. So the fact that the clause has been subverted to serve the opposite of its intended purpose is a baffling result from a nominally conservative court. This isn't going to lay this issue to rest.
