yea you just don’t have enough experience, I do bath salts every week and I promise you productivity gets a huge boost after week 5

the night circus is one of my favourite books of all time ever, very much recommend. If you like that the magicians by Lev Grossman feels very similar in a way I cannot put my finger on, though it does not really fit into this list.

evola, peterson, rothbard and moldbug on the reading list sure is something

also who the fuck is “bronze age pervert”

e: right, life was slightly better before I looked that up

anyone got any recommendations for an alternative vpn?

They’re fucking awful. I clicked through the xitter thread to someone with a milady pfp and they seemed to be shilling a crypto trading/sports betting platform called ourbit, which gave me a bit of a shock.

It feels like someone being overwhelmed/exhausted to the point of saying “fuck it, I don’t care anymore” and afterwards rationalising the use of LLMs as the only way they can keep up, while simultaneously falling for it’s addiction. It does demonstrate why relying on one-man projects without chipping in is risky. Unfortunately the companies that rely on it are probably also captured by the bubble so they won’t think so.

I think the openbsd reimplementation is as of yet untouched at least, so that is an option

this has been the funniest bit. All the AI bros suddenly going “nooo I thought it would be subsidised forever why is it expensive now” as if this wasn’t the expected outcome from the start

of course they get caught by incel culture immediately, trying to quantify attractiveness is so far in their wheelhouse they might as well have come up with it
