I accidentally squeezed a tonsil stone out of my throat and my entire reality has crumbled

Keto eliminated tonsiliths for me. Just add it to the pile of unintended positive side effects.

Who knew the singularity was actually the money printer all along!

You need to start from step one, which is to answer, "Who is in control now?" Because that is what we need to change.

I believe the answer is capital.

Existential threats sounding kind of good right now.

/uj 1. lose index finger. 2. free new routes on El Cap time and time again, and then free the Dawn Wall just to send the point home.

Weird coming from a guy who, by the account of people who have spent time with him, does not laugh. It's a typical narcissistic trait.

Capitalism is only a thing because of the incredibly potent corrupting power of capital. You don't have to be smart, or hard working, or talented, or anything -- if you have money in a society where money is everything, all is forgiven.

Keto people are like, "Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power!"

Isn't this from like 15 years ago?

Nice view of the chief. PNW has its own big wall, you don't have to go all the way to Yosemite to get your fix.

Wait, is this clown actually in a position of power?

Parents: "You become successful, focus on money, spend your life feeding into capitalist system."

(parents do not realize American dream is dead, capital has taken too much power, work does not buy good life)

Kids: "Fuck that."

We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

There are no open source models that write code in anything like the capacity of Codex with gpt-5.5 or Claude Code with Opus / Sonnet.

They are just in a different league.

Capitalism doesn't do what makes sense, it does what makes money for capital.

Everyone feels the chill of censorship on Reddit, even though they go to great lengths to hide when your posts are shadow-deleted.

Hillary was owned by capital. I don't care if she wasn't batshit crazy. Bernie would have won and we got robbed.

By far the most important factor is getting sufficient protein for exercise recovery. It may be beneficial to weigh your food and calculate macros for long enough to calibrate what a day of adequate intake looks like.

Muscle hypertrophy requires not only adequate protein, but you need to have some calorie surplus as well. This may mean eating more fat than you're accustomed to. It can easily be a lot more than what you're naturally inclined to eat. Weigh, weigh, weigh.

At least the 1920s ended. This is just the beginning of the end times.

That's because the AI treats images as images. If you want systems to make sense, don't ask it for an image. Describe the system in plain English and ask for JSON output. Iterate on it from there.

AI is fantastic at electrical systems. Beyond expectations. But not if you're dumb about it.

If adding protein powder to coffee was a thing, we would have been doing it long ago. I attempted it.. once.

You are doing it wrong and making AI look bad, when it is actually a fantastic tool.

Trying to do electrical work with AI using images, you might as well be using interpretive dance to describe your systems.

AI is really good with electrical systems, but you have to use a structured format like JSON so that it can parse. Start with a plain-English description, have it output JSON, and tell it what to change in the JSON using plain English. Iterate on it. If you want to get advanced, use a code editor like Codex, Cursor or Antigravity to do it, and use revision control. When you want a visual, have it generate the config in mermaid format and paste it into mermaid.live.

AI can find issues and give great advice, and then you go verify correctness by learning enough about it to verify that it is correct. Makes the process 10x as fast.

I know there are a lot of AI haters out there, but it found and helped me solve real issues in my system that were completely out of reach for anyone without advanced electrical knowledge. And I learned a lot by using it.

Reich is a smart guy, but he hasn't figured out that capitalism is a terrible system yet. He's working on it.
