Sounds a lot like Cloudflare at the moment.

Oats are soluble fiber, which the vast majority of people are deficient in.

How is this flame bait when it specifically addresses both the title and the content of the article?

The article itself is a list of prior art of introspection and a critique of Marc’s lack of awareness of said art.

We all know he’s wrong. The problem isn’t that he is wrong, it’s that we have elevated the wealthy into a status where they can be wrong, have no correction, and make decisions whole clothe which negatively affect the rest of us. All while being insulated from their negative world view.

While not directly connected to Jan 5, a surprising amount of the rioters ended up with state crimes.

It’s almost as if they were criminals all along.

If I you can project power globally , but as soon as a human is put on the ground they're disintegrated by a 100 dollar drone, how important was your ability to get there?

Reaction-baiting (or -bating depending on your perspective) really has ruined most discourse. There a direct line to advertising and social media.

I do, but think that that's orthogonal from the constant positive affirmations to all of his random thoughts. That's a sensation bought.

One might say that Elon's acquisition of Twitter is the ultimate manifestation of this.

The answer is, of course lol?

Gamers Nexus did a whole deep dive which basically proved that Chinese researchers had access to whatever they wanted.

Why do apologists always resort to “are you holding it wrong”?

This person is using their ev as a car, the same way they would use any other car in their possention. Evs are presented as ice car replacements but when their lack of ability as ice car replacements is pointed out the response is “well maybe you shouldn’t do that. WELL MAYBE THEYRE NOT ICE REPLACEMENTS /rant

I like Cloudflare's products, the their vibe for all of their documentation is "well the user will figure it out."

The counter to this are the open weight models that come from China at the moment.

All are great at reasoning but also ideologically aligned.

But then you weren't paying attention.

You context switch back and take 2 minutes (at best... much longer than if you were in the actual conversation paying attention) to answer. Now everyone else in the realtime conversation is waiting on your answer because you were expected to be in the conversation as well. That doesn't seem like good UX to me.

How is this different than @‘ing someone in the chat apps we all already use, and that you’ll actually be responding to the ping in?
