Singaporean writer and author of FRIENDLY AMBITIOUS NERD; blogs at visakanv.com about ambition, writing and thinking in public.
I like to joke that one way to reduce divorce rates would be to have people move in with their spouse’s parents for a few weeks before getting married. there’s a bunch of data in there that would serve you well in your marriage, that you might not get in 15+ years of marriage Related
it’s like that old joke, “over many years I painstakingly built these beautiful walls, made this gorgeous bar, all with my own hands, sweat and toil. does anyone call me a great builder? No. but you fuck just one goat…” Quoting @WashletJP Saw a big Hyrox poster at the gym and all I thought of was that lady shitting herself. That’s their brand now Related

Installed macOS 27 on a MacBook and I'm not sure if this is some kind of twisted joke or just incompetence. The contrast of window controls (for both active and inactive windows) is so bad that even a sugar-jolted 25-year old can tell. Related

Our pets are both Catriotic Catnadians, which is to say we have managed to switch them off of US-made cat food to a Canadian product. The dimmer of the pair for a while refused to believe it was food…. Still using MAGA litter though, and despite the mean-spirited propaganda joke therein, we’ll switch that too. #caturday #DumbAssMAGATradeWar Related

I misunderstood HydraFusion at first but it's neat Quoting @kdaigle Same or better quality, much lower cost, no manual model orchestration. That's what we're delivering Project HydraFusion from GitHub. Early tests have been very positive and we're improving hourly. Give it a try and let us know what you think. 👇 Related

The problem with Corey is that he is sufficiently weird that when he starts a sentence with "True story", I honestly have no idea whether it's literally true or simply a joke. Quoting @QuinnyPig True story: I did a brief stint at Grindr in 2011. Needed a server for something, and the name I picked was “phallusy,” as in “logical.” Then Randall, who I didn’t know yet, tripped over the rdns entry when the IP got reassigned within AWS. Related

Their words
And maybe you won't get to 100% coverage, but this is the old joke about Microsoft Office. "I only use 5%." Yeah, well, we all use a different 5%. Well, what if we all just build our own 5%? What if I just took the functionality that I need and just did that? That is a completely different challenge and one agents are incredibly capable of doing right now, today, and I've done it a lot of times over.

i’m wearing an ANGELS DESERVE DPI TOO shirt for @signedco today at an angel investor event and I don’t think many quite understand the joke, which in and of itself is pretty telling of the typical angel investor these days too. it’s a self-referential referential joke. Related

A Serif Badge Pin using a stretched out version of my Spagetty typeface in antique silver (probably not real silver) and it's available now in the shop! Wear it with pride, knowing that most people will point out the horrendous typo. Then you can explain the joke and they will probably think even less of you. But deep down, you'll know you have the upper hand regarding typography lingo puns. And that means something. simplebits.shop

If this were $200 I'd complain, but not for $25. For that, it's a neat little box that maybe more people could contribute to, to make it the most handy way to jack in from a crash cart.

So even though the models have improved tremendously and if you give them an agentic task, they will just go for hours and move mountains for you. And then you ask for like a joke and it has a stupid joke. It's crappy joke from five years ago and it's because it's outside of the it's outside of the RL.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
