I would like to see the "increasing" body of evidence pointing towards traditional vaccines.

My wife has an autoimmune disease. Most all the evidence points towards gut biome but that shit is super complicated. We have very little research into what our gut biome needs to be.

I would also mention, just general auto-immune diseases. I would be very worried this could trigger those in people who wouldn't have gotten one otherwise.

Correct, it will be about silencing any opposition against this administration. OpenAI will be happy to let their models be used to persecute, kill, and destroy american democracy if it lines Sam's pockets.

When the first 10 results on Google are AI generated and Google is providing an AI overview, this is an issue. We can say don’t use Google but we all know normal people all use Google due to habit

Not sure if you will see this.

We were buying a sailboat(we actually did it). Wife got diagnosed with cancer. We talked with doctors about treatment, felt confident with catching it so early.

Purchased the sailboat, we live on the sailboat with our two kids, two dogs, and two cats, 6+ months out of the year.

What you can't plan for is shit that happens on land. We came back in June 2025, my wife was stopped at a red light and got rear ended by a dump truck. That has put a pause on our sailing life. But we should be getting back out there soon.

I wouldn't argue we should roll this out to everyone. But I am glad it exists. I commented earlier in this topic about how it caught cancer in my wife at the age of 44. She didn't have to go through chemo or radiation treatment because it was caught so early. Surgery removed the whole cancer.

Additionally for me, I have a scan that shows what my body currently has. I had something show up that I did get a scope to check out that was a pancreatic rest. No big deal. Now, if I ever have another MRI and somethings is somewhere else, we have a baseline to compare against. Everything is a risk calculation. When I did my MRI, I also had other procedures done like a heart calcium score.

I will get a little more personal. We didn't do it out of the blue. My wife and I decided we want to live on a sailboat. That was a big purchase for us and boats take a long time to sell. We didn't want to commit to such a purchase then 1 year later find out either of us had cancer then we have the stress of cancer and the stress of trying to sell a boat.

I would never suggest everyone do it, but I am happy we did.

Yep, I have experience with both. It found cancer for my wife and she was able to treat it immediately. Fully recovered.

It found a weird spot on me that turned out to a pancreatic rest.

The only reason we did the scans were because we were making a significant life decision that we didn’t want to have to backtrack if either got diagnosed with cancer within a year . We knew nothing was guaranteed but we wanted to do some tests.

Just a high level question. My youngest son was adopted. He isn't white. He is naturalized. Should we go ahead and renew his passport so he can carry around a passport card at this point(we never got one in the past because they seemed like a waste). It seems crazy but with people being grabbed off the street for being brown, it seems prudent have a quick way to prove citizenship.

You forgot to mention it is also tied to provable namespaces. People keep saying that NPM is just the biggest target...

Hate to break it to you but from targeting enterprises, java maven artifacts would be a MASSIVE target. It is just harder to compromise because NPM is such shit.

Based on sales of the air, it won’t be around in future years.

Yes. The US government requires offsite backups .

They also require routine testing distaster recovery plans.

I participated in so many different programs over the years with those tests.

Tests that would roll over to facilities across the country

Along the same lines, stop paying property taxes on it. See how much you really own it

Yep, I am 46 and never knew the name of it until AI . Never used them

Correct, I am 46, grew up with BBS. Early internet. I will be honest, never knew the name of em dash until it became a GPT thing.

To a point. If gpt5 takes 3 minutes to output and qwen3 does it in 10 seconds and the agent can iterate 5 times to finish before gpt5, why do I care if gpt5 one shot it and qwen took 5 iterations

I currently use Cerebras for qwen3. One of the things I like is its speed(the TPM limit is rough). I am curious, how fast is qwen3 on your platform and what quantization are you running for your models?

Which is crazy to me. I had purchased international airline tickets 9 months prior to COVID.

Covid happened and everything was cancelled. The airline refused to refund, only give credit. The issue is that it was on an airline that was useless to me because this trip was cancelled and we were going to be rescheduling.

Did a chargeback with Apple even though I was past the date, they still gave me my money back. I was shocked

Good feedback, we live a somewhat unusual lifestyle. We are digital nomads that live on a sailboat. I think some of that is possible and I will recommend he look for some online writing groups but the places we generally sail to are countries where schools/libraries aren’t going to have those types of things. It is challenge enough flying him back to the US to take AP exams

Dan,

Do you have kids? Outside of discipline, and even there, I want to have a positive relationship with my sons.

My oldest knows that I am not a writer, there are a ton areas that I can give legit good advice. I can actually have a fun conversation about his stories, but I have no qualifications to tell him what he might want to change. I can say what I like but my likes/dislikes are not what an editor does. I actually stay away from dislikes on his writing because who cares what I don’t like.

I would rather encourage him to write, write more, and get some level of feedback even if I don’t think my feedback is valuable.

LLMs have been trained on likely all published books, it IS more qualified than me.

If he continues to write and gets good enough should he seek a human editor sure.

But I never want me to be a reason he backs away from something because my feedback was wrong. It is easier for people to take critical feedback from a computer than their parents. Kids want to please and I don’t want him writing stuff because he think it will be up my alley.

Exactly, I would rather read his stories and discuss them with him. My advice on anything outside of pure opinion is invalid

I am not a writer. My oldest son,16, started writing short stories. He did not use AI in any aspect of the words on the page. I did however recommend that he feed his stories and ask a LLM for feedback on things that are confusing, unclear, or holes in the plot.

Not to take any words it gives but read what it says and decide if those things are true, if so, make edits. I am not saying it is a great editor but it is better than any other resource he has access to as a teenager. Yeah better than me or his mom

I am 6ft tall and feel like my hands are above average in size. I have a regular iPhone 16 pro. I still don’t understand how people use bigger devices.

Do they like using two hands? I can’t single hand a phone any larger without having to shift it in my hand.

I don’t want to use two hands on my phone outside of typing.

If you actually want to learn………

I have experienced multiple instances of junior devs using llm outputs without any understanding.

When I look at the PR, it is immediately obvious.

I use these tools everyday to help accelerate. But I know the limitations and can look at the output to throw certain junk away.

I feel junior devs are using it not to learn but to try to just complete shit faster. Which doesn’t actually happen because their prompts suck and their understanding of the results is bad.

Gemini deep research runs circles around OpenAI deep research. It goes way deeper and uses way more sources.

It is just crazy to me…..fuck Hamas but Israel committing genocide should be condemn by our govt, not openly supported.

It kinda is.

More and more researches are showing via brain scans that we don’t have free will. Our subconscious makes the decision before our “conscious” brain makes the choice. We think we have free will but the decision to do something was made before you “make” the choice.

We are just products of what we have experienced. What we have been trained on.

Apple Watch just caught my blood oxygen dropping. I had a legit sleep study done.

With my cpap, I normally have two 1-2 events/hour but my blood oxygen no longer drops

I have mild sleep apnea and my Apple Watch is the reason I figured it out. If you wear it every night, you will catch it. I have on average 1-2 events an hour. Even with that few, the Apple Watch would catch the O2 drop enough times over a month that it worried me to see my O2 drop under 90%

My FIL has been a conservative his whole life and has never voted. He immediately recognized the nazi talking points from Trump. Said Trump was going full Nazi. But it wasn’t enough to get him to register to vote and vote against a nazi

I use it for mundane shit that I don’t want to spend hours doing.

My son and I go to a lot of concerts and collect patches. Unfortunately we started collecting long after we started going to concerts.

I had a list of about 30 bands I wanted patches for.

I was able to give precise instructions on what I wanted. Deep research came back with direct links for every patch I wanted.

It took me two minutes to write up the prompt and it did all the heavy lifting.
