I guess a more accessible version would be toast… what do you put in a toaster?

Here's one for you:

A funny riddle is a j-o-k-e that sounds like “joke”.

You sit in the tub for an s-o-a-k that sounds like “soak”.

So how do you spell the white of an egg?

// All of these prove humans are subject to "context priming".

My brain said "y" and then I caught myself. Well done!

(I suppose my context was primed both by your brain-teaser, and also the fact that we've been talking about these sorts of things. If you'd said this to me out of the blue, I probably would have spelled out all of "yolk" and thought it was correct.)

Notably, this comment kinda broke my brain for a good 5 seconds. Good work.

Bombe is great. You might like the zactronics games. And there are tons of factory games now if you want factorio with different window dressing.

Huh. Just checked kagi and it’s the same. At least you can block sites manually.

Or “called them over by raising a hand” with “flagged down”.

As recently as the Silicon Valley tv show, the joke was that every startup pitch claimed they were “making the world a better place”.

"I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do." -Gavin Belson

Gavin is a perfect example of this, tho fictional. "Doing good" was a route to personal success and domination; Gavin under a Trump admin would have dropped the act, just as others have done.

Writing an email with AI and having the recipient summarize it with AI is basically all the fun of jpeg compression, but more bandwidth instead of less.

The problem making a bear-proof trash can is that there's significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

I considered forking an MIT repo once but had no idea how to communicate which parts were under the original MIT license and which weren’t. Unless I copied it into each file and deleted the root license, it seems like it would license all my changes as MIT, too, basically becoming a copy-left license.

Not to mention the (now experienced) graduates of really elite schools on the other side of the adversarial relationship, working for those financial institutions.

The market cares about dollar returned vs dollar-x-time invested. A shoe sits on a shelf until it is sold. If it costs 1.5 times as much to stock a store with shoes, then you need to earn 1.5 times as much money after the same time-delay.

Think in the extreme. $1 billion can probably earn more in a saving account than as a shoe that generates $50 profit after 2 weeks.
