@cwjones89 My prior is everyone already has a subscription? So the universities are just signing large contracts as a form of signaling?

It should be required that apps provide users a means to disable short form video, I think Instagram stories and messenger are a great way to connect with friends but reels are the spawn of Satan

Addiction to short-form videos is associated with reduction of brain activity in the frontal lobe and weakened focus.

@dwlz The lack of channels, threading, and bad search would really hamper the ability to have multiple conversations happening at once on different topics even with a small team. I’ve tried discord it gets the job done but imo clunky compared to slack, especially threading

Can X please fix the initial load behavior on the iOS app? It always loads a couple tweets and then like a second later refreshes with a bunch of new ones. Meanwhile, i’ve gotten all interested in the first ones and suddenly they are lost forever!

@dwlz I would check your bank accounts and credit report. This happened to me after someone logged into my online account and opened a new loan.

@dwlz @karpathy Yeah but what if you take a subset of English and have a specific structure for writing deterministic instructions? Oh wait… that’s just python 😂
