For those who are lost and don’t know what to do now that they can’t simply quote post other people’s post or take screenshots of them, here is a quick how to guide:
- step one, just do things
- step two, tell us all about it.
Alternatively, you could just:
- go sulk in a corner
- tell us all about how unfair life is
- threaten to storm out and never come back (don’t let the door hit you on your way out. 😱)
Once you’re done throwing yourself a pity party, you’re allowed to come back and tell us what you’re actually planning to do to improve your own life, and/or someone else’s.
There’s a fork in the road right in front of you, anon. Choose your own adventure, and may you take the path which is the right one for you.
If you don’t? Just level up and come back once you’re ready to actually do some hard work.

hints:
- some domains cost <$10/yr
(I recommend Spaceship, they have a handy API)
- Proton just works (good docs too)
First time? You can be done in 10 minutes with a good agent like Hermes (or 20 with a normie chat, 30 on your own; all GUI clicks)
Once you know how to do it, literally takes all of two minutes to set up a new email domain from buy to finish.
unpopular opinion:
Millenials are 1981-2007 (from microcomputer to GFC and Web 2.0), 26 years
Zoomers will be 2008-2038 (from GFC to ❔), 30-ish years
"Alphas" are ten years away.
Gen length increases because it takes longer to build a life/family, if you even can, in the 21st century. May change dramatically for the better after ❔
thing is, 1981-1994 makes no sense for a "generation" (you don't have kids at 15 yo lol). So 1981-2005 is more like it (24 years, that's more like it).
Gen Z is far from being identifiable yet, but most likely something like 2006-2030 or so.
It's just that marketing and the media always want to make you believe there's a new hot thing but no, 17 or 15 years is not a full generation, whether biological or in the Strauss–Howe sense of that theory. These shorter bouts are more like cultural trends, good old decades, and they do overlap or vary by country.

Just tried vibecoding with ThreeJS again (after more than 6 months) and I have to say that the models have gotten much better at coding with ThreeJS and creating 3D models from scratch.

OpenAI's new image model GPT-Image-2 has leaked
It seems to have extremely good world knowledge and great text rendering
Possibly better than Nano Banana Pro
It's on @arena under code names:

No one outside other vibe coders care or see this kinda detail. You’re noticing a real thing with no real impact.

Winter - Vivaldi
Ok, das ist verdammt cool.
Es ist eine großartige Idee, wie man Musik visualisiert.
fix this damn Android app.
and make Grok save conversations when initiated from the app's own button ffs
losing good info that started from a post is the worst UX
and wasted compute, a cardinal sin!
Every time I go to Paris🇫🇷
I am reminded how low-trust the French society has steadily become for 40 years.
The consequences of that are dire.

It takes twice as long to come back.
And it's still going downhill as we speak.
What a fateful turn of a century.

LINUX DOESNT EVEN HAVE ACCOUNTS?!?

AT THE VERY F*CK*NG LEAST DO IT WELL
As it stands, France is a cybersecurity joke. Zero security culture. Zero tech culture for that matter. This is what the highest taxes in the world bought its population 💣💣💣
Ils vont te demander un identité numérique certifiée, un mot de passe pénible à trouver puis à retenir, te saouler avec des mails de confirmation/vérification...tout ça pour "protéger" (officiellement) des données qui ont déjà fuité grâce à tous les sites gouvernementaux.

🦔 H100 GPUs that cost $40,000 new are now selling for around $6,000 on eBay, an 85% drop. The math on why is straightforward: it costs about 11x as much to run an H100 for inference as a B300. Anyone running H100s needs to charge dramatically more than competitors on newer hardware.
Upgrading isn't simple either. At a $50,000 price tag for a B200, it takes about 33 months to break even on the upgrade from an H100. And the B300s are already making B200s less attractive.
My Take
I've been covering the depreciation problem in AI infrastructure for a while now. Companies are booking these GPUs on five to six year depreciation schedules when Nvidia releases new generations every two years. Michael Burry flagged Big Tech lengthening depreciation timelines as suspicious because it hides the real losses. A hedge fund manager I wrote about found that industry insiders estimate actual component lifespans at 3-10 years, but the economics don't work at any of those numbers.
The hyperscalers are sitting on hundreds of thousands of GPUs that lose value every time Nvidia announces something new. David McWilliams called them "digital lettuce" because they go stale while you're still installing them. The difference between what the books say these assets are worth and what you could actually sell them for is enormous. At some point that gap has to be reconciled. H100s selling for 85% off on eBay is a preview of the writedowns coming to earnings reports.

friendly reminder that it's not because cars replaced horses that humans became horses to be replaced
it makes no sense
your LLM isn't you or anyone else, nor should it be; it's something else, and the synergy with you is oh so much better than having a mere clone.

one question is whether countries with a decentralized intelligence complex will outdefend those with a strictly centralized one.
certainly paints a different type of society.
see you in 2040 for answers
ego is most inflated when competing against many / big people / things.
it dissolves when you don't feel threatened by reality, including your own fears.
it boils down to some level of acceptance, and confidence. not that shit won't hit the fan, but that you'll deal with it.
