If you think junkies are chasing microdosing legalisation then you don't understand the concept of the prefix "micro". If you're a junkie you don't even get satisfied by a dose, let alone a mini dose never mind a micro dose... So with all due respect, you're objectively an idiot.

The way I use social media, anybody who wishes they had my advice after I'm gone will first have to read one of my posts every day for the next 10 yrs before they can claim they miss me or remember me. It's one or the other: either get over it, or take what I've already given you before missing me.

Just remember that for every hero, greater than 100 people who were greater, died by bad luck or for their greatness. History habitually neglects to remind us that greatness happens all the time, they just don't all succeed. Insecure people should feel reassured they are great for wanting to be.
I've been digging deep into "prosody" lately, specifically mental development at early ages around an immigrant caregiver accent or language, its subconscious influences in engrams, speech, music, and reinforcement by being subocalized. Canadians should all be fascinated by this subject.
Donald Trump's Swamp isn't just mara lago or The Washington DC reflecting pool, DTS always stood for his peoples... Pedos and rapists. His only consistent policy.
🇨🇦 🦋LaFerrari17🦋 🇨🇦@aperta17.bsky.social · 18h agoI feel like this tweet doesn't get talked about enough.
Nothing radicalizes you against the concept of time quite like sitting in a hospital room
#Prediction - $APPL foldable phone flops like a weak hinge. Consumers don't pine for the planned obsolescence they pioneered, nor do they long to be exploited for pay. Apple is more proud of their oppressive walled garden than they are of innovation or the quality of their products & services.
There's only one instance where it makes rational sense to give up on life, and that's the lives of the Epstein class. Remember that congressional vote from like, last December? Are there really 3 branches of government? Someone explain that to me. 2v1 is usually non-negotiable...
Markets respond to Trump the way my dog responds to the doorbell...
It really bothers me that even when the datacenter bubble pops and superscalers are pushing daisies, they'll get bought up by universities and governments and nvidia will have years of pent up gamer demand to keep drilling for cash through the recovery... it's sick how much harm nVidia is causing.
Relativity can be best illustrated by comparing the diet of Olympic swimmers and runners with the diets of very active regular adults. You can jog every day but you're still not gonna be healthy eating 9 egg sandwiches per day, plus a pizza, plus a pound of pasta, to maintain that washboard 6-pack.
I think wisdom can be taught, it's just a much harder thing to teach. For many years I've collected names of teachers who did a great job of teaching wisdom, and this guy is my pick of the litter for 2026. Very few people on earth are capable of articulating so well. youtu.be/36cx2UVXz1k?...

Same old song... Openai suddenly du bs down their existing models in anticipation of a new model so that comparisons between new models and new benchmarks are falsely reported against older benchmarked, now dumber but dsmrly named models. I absolutely hate how they assume their users are stupid.
#devlog - forex trading algorithm update So after getting the whole training to inference and trading pipeline linked up and working, I decided to revise the first stages of the models I'm building. Instead of OOF anchors I'm switching to gradient boost in 2 separate stages before scenario sim.
Remember Rudy Giuliani leaning over his bowl of tomato soup shaving his face in public? I feel like that's a metaphor for America's most strategic policies.
“If you need a machine and don't buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don't have it”. ~Henry Ford Feel free to hate a person for their values but still appreciate extracting their insights. Knowledge and data aren't intrinsically prejudicial, just universally useful.
Consumer electronics are spying on you. There's evidence of it for years. Smart devices including Samsung & LG tv's. It's not just Roomba or Tesla, it's all connected devices, and they cast a drag net so wide your neighbours' phones are logged walking their dog too. youtu.be/w5KnFmKjFTA?...

As wrong as one can get lol ... but to be fair, they annoinced splashing a ton of cash intervening the dip, soooo it's maybe a lower case L if I was being charitable to myself?
Kristopher Driver@paxdriver.bsky.social · 2w agoNailed the first half of it. Within 48 hours we'll see if I was also right about the aftermath on share values. I'm guessing by the end of the week, but I won't claim a loss until next week after stranded capital (actively managed funds) have time to knee-jerk a response. So follow up required.
I won't buy a new console until they make a game out of ascii art & sprites at 120 fps. If we can't generate compelling ascii art using generative AI by text then we've lost the plot already. We could make a genre of reinvented historical games if only we had 8k ascii art to encode/decode it into.
Maybe doing drugs isn't good for you at all, I'd accept that premise. But if you have even the slightest insight about the ridiculous beliefs like astrology that you suddenly realize are less intense than your advocacy for spirit crystals, or vice versa, maybe seeing different is the true insight.
Kristopher Driver@paxdriver.bsky.social · 6d agoIf you're one of those people who believes having a dream about something meant something, I would never try to make a good soul feel awful just for sport. But if you tried lsd, and reflected on your feelings of wind during your experience with lsd, maybe you'd appreciate my scepticism a little.

Just a reminder: nobody commissioned great thinkers to be history's great thinkers. Thinkers were often commissioned, but many commissioned thinkers weren't memorialized as "great" thinkers. A "think tank" is not an award-winning group of geniuses, it is a group branding themselves as thinkers.
Watching my trading algorithms run on live markets reminds me how much of machine learning is engineering and less the hit or miss home run 😖 I see every hole made by a rabbit or vole as 1.3" deep and entirely accessible no matter how many projects I tackle blindly which contradict my intuition lol
