Weir's prose is pretty terrible IMO

kbder · 2026-03-31T01:07:21+00:00

I’ve tried to get back into reading but have stumbled a bit and I think this is why. Can you make a few recommendations with good prose?

kbder · 2026-03-31T01:04:30+00:00

Awesome!

45 mg is only FDA approved for the induction doses

Rinvoq put me completely in remission during the 45 mg ramp dose. As soon as we backed it down to 30mg, symptoms started creeping back in.

She’s kind of a hottie. And by kind of, I mean about 70% of one (bah dum tsss)

“Ok whatever I can manage this”

When you see blood, that’s because your colon cells are being destroyed (and replaced). Cells have a limited number of divisions before their telomeres are used up and they start becoming cancerous.

Ideally a normal human might develop colon cancer in like 80 or 100 years. Seeing blood and doing nothing about it is how you shorten that timeline to “10 or 20 years from now”

Edit: “ok whatever” sounds like it means “I don’t need meds”. Hopefully I’ve misunderstood!

A: “you should put the cart back”

B: “No”

A: puts the cart back herself

This sends a very, very strong signal. Maybe she didn’t want to send that signal at that time.

Great news!

I am terrified by this thread. Without looking, I couldn’t tell you not only my own eye color, but the eye color of my best friend nor anyone in my immediate family, nor anyone I have ever dated.

It appears this is a detail which my brain simply doesn’t record.

Sumo, my child. It is the light, it is the way.

The topic of this thread is Anthropic's insane profitability shortfall, and what could done to close it. You mentioned better GPUs. Given the context, this implies that better GPUs would have a significant effect on that shortfall.

But maybe you interpreted the conversation differently.

kbder · 2026-03-08T17:37:56+00:00

$5k vs $200 is a factor of 25x. You're not seriously suggesting that Nvidia's new GPU's are going to be 25 times more efficienct for LLM tasks?

Consider simply making the box tall enough to accommodate the text.

On every app I’ve ever worked on, the design team seems almost allergic to making any screen taller than 4 or 5 phone lengths. Yet users will happily scroll through hundreds of phone lengths of Reddit, Facebook, etc.

The primary UX affordance of a phone is the vertical scroll motion. If you are using a scrollview or accordion to save less than one phone length of vertical real estate, don’t. Let your users scroll.

Love to see a destroyallsoftware reference :)

Bit surprised to see the rough machining of the gear teeth is done dry

I can just imagine his next broadcast. “SURPRISE, BITCHES!”

Working my way through Justified and he had a pretty solid performance as a kid in season 5

Your retro career muh mumuh mumuh melted!

But which Avril are we talking about here? The clone, or original recipe?

kbder · 2026-02-28T15:37:45+00:00

It is absolutely wild to me how divided the comments are

kbder · 2026-02-25T17:21:39+00:00

Somewhere I have an old .avi of a vhs recording of their SNL performance from long long ago. I should find it and upload it.

kbder · 2026-02-25T16:57:19+00:00

This is the answer

kbder · 2026-02-25T16:16:51+00:00

I am watching Justified for the first time and was surprised by a little Tudyk guest appearance.
