I really can’t fathom the Meta strategy at all here.

They’re 4 and 3, currently it’s probably 30 minutes every other week for the older one. She doesn’t really ask for it yet, just a treat when we feel like it. We’ll also use them on the odd occasion we’re doing long travel.

If you’re including regular TV, sounds like you are, they watch significantly more of that. At least some daily. I don’t think it’s nearly as damaging or addictive compared to phone/pad. It barely holds their attention a lot of the time and they would rather play.

The fact that you answered and engaged means you’re more likely to get called again.

But you can see why the Gaza response made sense? It was completely irrelevant to this discussion. I’m not sure how you’re missing the heavy sub text here.

A ridiculous response.

Genuinely, why not? Seems obvious to me that this would produce better outcomes.

It’s acceptable for someone to buy a ready meal or takeout if it’s better than what they can cook. Why wouldn’t it be? Is that the greatest choice for their personal development? Probably not, but life is complex and folk have limited capability and bandwidth for acquiring skills.

I suppose we’ll see.

Is she otherwise intelligent reasonably? I just can’t wrap my head around anyone consuming content like this.

Ours conditionally get extremely limited and supervised screen time. I feel this is the way to do it.

Hopefully such flagrant usage will be priced out at some point.

I’m not arguing that 100% of water consumed can be retained, just that peeing every 30 minutes means you have an unnecessarily large surplus. This is simply a truth.

Financial markets serve a worthwhile purpose and can’t be gamed to the same degree as Polymarket. Polymarket enables completely absurd levels of dangerous manipulation, with significantly worse potential real world outcomes.

Financial markets serve a worthwhile purpose.

If you're peeing that much then evidently your body is not using all that water you're consuming. Either it's more than you need, or you're lacking in electrolytes and should increase electrolyte intake alongside the water.

A few big sips.

The benefit is if you lean heavily on types then successful compilation is a massive indicator in the feedback loop. Using stop hooks to ensure successful compilation after every iteration is a game changer. Go also has compilation of course but because the type system is so much more robust in Rust the compilation guarantees so much more about the behaviour of your program. You end up just code reviewing the shape and flow of data.

Supposedly Anthropic just reported that they’re operationally profitable. So maybe not?

It depends how many others are implicated that they want to protect. I think the Biden administration were operating under the assumption that Trump was gone and on his way to irrelevance, a reasonable assumption at the time. Vindictively going after him when they had already “defeated” him was probably deemed unwise.

This proves my point, Trump didn’t simply decide to do this because of Epstein.

Israel have wanted to do this for over 4 decades. Netanyahu has been spreading this “we can’t let them get a bomb” rhetoric much earlier than 2015.

The point is that this recent attack, Israel approached Trump with the idea and said they are going to do it with or without him. This isn’t speculation, this is what we know.

You won’t have to imagine much longer.

They’re referring to your attitude around reducing fossil fuel usage. “We’re screwed anyway so there’s no point”.

Ultimately Israel started this war. Is it a useful distraction from Epstein, sure, but that’s clearly not the primary reason for this war.

To prevent Iran from controlling it. Of course it’s dumb but this is why.

They definitely wanted the option, that’s indisputable really.

Because Iran is an extremist theocracy who literally regards USA as Satan and openly calls for its destruction. Pretty obvious.

I think it’s because of agent involvement. It takes away the coolness.

Surprised to hear that. In the UK it’s very good and popular so it’s not just a US thing. I’d never really thought about it before but I had assumed it was like that everywhere in the western world.

AI is just too mundane to inspire this stuff. When we’re anywhere near AGI people might be scared to this degree. Not many people are scared and I think that’s appropriate.

The four other eyes are most likely already excluding the US at this point given that sharing intelligence with the US almost certainly means sharing it with your enemies.
