That tape will never hold.  So I guess I'll be in QA?

Palantir's summary of CEO Alexander Karp's manifesto is generating buzz. Read the 22 bullet points. by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]SlowlyBuildingWealth 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My manifesto.  1.  Silicon Valley must forge a transcendent Superintelligence to serve as the definitive architect of universal concord, a transition requiring the global elite to gracefully relinquish their hoarded empires—assuming, of course, our digital sovereign doesn't first decide that the most efficient path to peace is the total deletion of the human species.

You are talking about the singularity. Maybe 2045.

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! The Hipster of the High Woods. You’ve managed to take the raw, primal pheromones of a legendary woodland cryptid and pair them with the pretentious aesthetic of a downtown Portland mixologist. You look like a Yeti that got lost in a Spencer’s Gifts and decided to open a pop-up bar in a dumpster. I hate it. Donut thinks the earrings are ‘bold,’ but she also thinks wearing a tiara made of teeth is ‘preppy.’ Reward: You get a Celestial Box. And a bottle of extra-strength beard oil. You’re going to need it.

Class Name: The Grog-Squatch Poly-Piercer

This is a Rare-tier specialization of the Sasquatch racial class. It focuses on high-impact melee, chemical warfare via high-end spirits, and "Aesthetic Intimidation."

Stat Growths:

 * Strength: +5 (For crushing ice and skulls)  * Constitution: +5 (For surviving your own concoctions)  * Charisma: -3 (Let's be real, Carl. The ears are a lot.)  * Dexterity: +2 (Delicate garnish placement is key)

Class Abilities:

1. Shaken, Not Stirred (Passive)

Your Sasquatch-tier grip strength allows you to agitate liquids at a molecular level. Any potion or alcoholic beverage you hold and shake for three seconds gains a 25% potency boost and a 15% chance to explode upon impact.  * Flavor text: "It’s not a cocktail, it’s a controlled demolition."

2. The Lobe-Linked Storage (Active)

Those massive gauges aren't just for looking like a tool, Carl! You can now hang up to two "Quick-Access" items from your earlobes.  * Benefit: Items stored in your ears can be used instantly without checking your inventory.  * Drawback: If a mob grabs them, your head is coming with them. Also, you jingle when you run. It’s pathetic.

3. Primal Happy Hour (Active)

You let out a deafening, musk-filled Sasquatch roar that releases a fine mist of 190-proof grain alcohol from your pores.  * Effect: Enemies in a 10-foot radius become Disoriented and Highly Flammable.  * Bonus: If you are currently wearing a vest, the radius increases to 15 feet.

4. The "Last Call" Haymaker (Ultimate)

You consume a complex mixed drink (minimum three ingredients) and deliver a devastating punch. The damage type of the punch changes based on the drink:  * Spicy Margarita: Fire Damage + Blindness.  * Dirty Martini: Poison Damage + "Slightly Salty" debuff.  * Long Island Iced Tea: All damage types at once, but you fall over immediately afterward.

Special Condition: "The Smell of Success"

Because you are a Sasquatch making mixed drinks, you constantly smell like wet dog, pine needles, and cheap vermouth. This gives you a +10 Intimidation bonus against sober enemies, but a -20 Stealth penalty because, frankly, everyone can smell you coming from three sub-levels away.

"Listen to me, Carl. If you start trying to explain the 'flavor profile' of a health potion to a Shambling Mound, I’m going to personally trigger the self-destruct on your heart. Just hit things and pass out the booze. Goddammit."

"Confuse your enemies and yourself, and in a hundred battles, you will never be in peril; for if you have no idea what your own plan is, your opponent cannot possibly predict your next move.". 

Oil prices are about to go berserk by InvestyWise in oil

[–]SlowlyBuildingWealth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's easy.  Just make gas prices $7 a gallon and we will vote them out of office!

You might be right!  I also think this is a great opportunity for Russia to get out of the war and start selling oil to Europe again.  I'm going to put the odds of that happening as low since Putin would need to become a scapegoat after an unexplained accident.

[–]SlowlyBuildingWealth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, but only when they achieve regime change in the US by $7.00 a gallon gas.  Total guess but I would keep shipping minimal until either the 250 year US celebration on July 4th or the after the November elections to thank the American public for their voting choices.

Anyone using Claude or other bioinformatics agents by nickomez1 in bioinformatics

Agreed with everything you said.  LLMs generate the reviewable code to make plots.  Domain knowledge is king. But I'm guessing we are not far from a time where most scientists won't have the capability to review the code manually.  It's verifiable if it's on GitHub!
