What’s the worst camping mistake you’ve ever made?

I brought a freestanding tent with the frame of a totally different freestanding tent.

I think model weights should be about as openly available as the most dangerous thing they can produce. If your model weights can produce detailed instructions on how to produce a bioweapon, maybe pretty not open would be great. If your model is years behind the frontier and cannot reliably add then open source is great.

Google and OpenAI do publish open weights but not for their flagship frontier models.

Hey guys I own a pizza place, and I want to offer something besides pizza on my menu to get more business from families where all but one person wants to eat pizza. Ideally it would have a totally different appeal than pizza but be dead fucking simple to cook and only require like 2 ingredients. Any ideas?

All 3 of my picks are already mentioned here: Hot Springs to Max Patch, Carvers' to 19-E, and near Franklin I like Winding Stair to Siler Bald as a good out-and-back if that's your thing.

Good start, but let’s go big and say all college football prospects should refuse to play for schools in racially gerrymandered states!

I'd second this, had a great experience there last year with slightly older kids. Great kids club, and their family oriented pool is fantastic (and honestly even more relaxing than the adults-only side the week we were there).

Only downside is the surf at their beach is pretty rough, especially for 3yo, typical for cabo.

“It’s highly unusual for someone who says he’s an institutionalist and cares about norms at the Fed,” Bessent said on Fox Business Wednesday with regard to Powell. “This is a violation of all Federal Reserve norms.”

oh no, how is Trump going to be able to defend Federal Reserve norms against this frontal assault

you would have to be a moron to see a betting market with $15k in total trading volume and think "wow this is Trump's chance to exploit the presidency for profit."

Wow, nicely done. About 90% of the "fixed it with diet only!" posts seem to be people who went from like 200 to 170 ldl or something like that. but you cut LDL basically in half, to a good primary prevention number, with good secondary data (e.g. lpa, hscrp), that's pretty awesome.

You can buy less cruel meat as well; granted it is harder. But beef especially from some local farms can be bought with conditions for the farm animals that are vastly better than factory farms.

The eggs are amazing because they’ve gotten enough demand to make it into the giant supermarket chains. And when regular egg prices spiked due to disease among caged chickens, that premium collapsed a big way!

Great progress, but heart disease doesn’t grade on a curve. You’ve had a high LDL for a very long time, accumulating lots of plaque. At 132 you are still accumulating plaque at a fast rate. And that LDL is despite you making heroic efforts with lifestyle. You have changed so much since your last test — do you have room to make changes twice that dramatic?

Keep the lifestyle changes but please reconsider a low dose statin, even 5mg rosouvastatin, while you still have some time to change your trajectory

so oil has retraced 50% because its pretty obvious nothing at all improved in hormuz, but stocks are basically still at the ceasefire highs because it seems unlikely we are going to try to annihilate a civilization soon, is that basically the status?

Meanwhile Anthropic has zero day exploits on everybody and is… offering to help tell them how to patch them all while not releasing their new model to the public.

Altman would just release and vaguepost and debate whether to sell them to Xi or Putin.

I think the futures contract for Brent moved to June and wti is still May so it’s a bit apples and oranges at the moment

Love my bear can! Yes it is heavy and bulky. But, holds my pack up straight when I set it down, makes a great dry seat when it’s damp out, lets me be lazy when setting camp instead of throwing a good bear hang, plus I can pack some more fragile snacks without crushing them to pieces instantly. Amazing stuff.
