太他妈的牛！ 不得不佩服，印度人牛逼！ 印度人狂借网贷不还！中资网贷出海六年，百家中资平台亏70亿退场。 印度修手机的拉杰什，从一款中资网贷App上借了8000卢比。钱到账5分钟，他换了个手机号，把App删了。 催收电话打到他通讯录里的朋友那儿，朋友问的第一句话是：你在哪个平台借的，帮我也弄一笔。 ​​拉杰什后来接受采访时说了一句话，被传得很广：手机里冒出来的钱，凭什么要还。 ​​这句话把上百家中资平台钉在了印度。巅峰时期，印度每三家在线借贷平台里就有一家带着中资背景，累计砸进去的钱折合人民币约180亿，六年之后整体亏损超过70亿，退出率超过95%。 ​​头部中资平台的坏账率突破50%，中小平台飙到80%，放出去100块能收回20块就算行业优等生。 ​​ ​​国内最管用的“爆通讯录”，逻辑是熟人社会里的面子约束，你不还钱，亲戚朋友同事都知道，你抬不起头。 到了印度，催收电话打过去，对方的反应不是“我劝他还”，是“你告诉我怎么下载这个App”。 ​​印度有22种官方语言和数千种方言，催收团队准备的英语和印地语话术，面对其他语种的借款人根本对不上频。社会压力机制反转成了免费的获客渠道。 印度这个奇葩的地方， 印度人都是欠债不还吗？

Fuck you vibe coders, fuck you ai devs. This is the exact shit you deserve. You make some dogshit. It runs, you don't look at the code cos you're a brain dead troglodyte and assume it works fine. I've had so many cases of this happening to me in my code when someone tried to submit ai prs! One of them just wiped out the entire validation service to "make it faster"

I like to look at claims like this in case I can improve Ghostty. I grabbed your source and immediately spotted the issue: your read loop overwrites a 64 KiB ring. Everything older is discarded unparsed per tick. You're faster because you're not actually terminal emulating. It means the number isn't a throughput number. In a kitten benchmark run at the rate you're claiming, roughly 6.6 MB arrives per 60 Hz tick and 64 KiB of it gets parsed. You're read(2)-ing 100% of the data and parsing about 1% of it. There are other minor issues (a small fixed scrollback in a preallocated ring buffer, no grapheme clustering, throwing away data like OSC 8 URIs, etc.), but the major one is simply that you're discarding ~99% of the input. For plain text, e.g. your cat benchmark, the final screen ends up looking right, but the scrollback is missing 99% of the file and each retained chunk starts mid-line. As soon as there are escape sequences in the dropped spans, your emulator is fully out of sync and invalid: a cut inside a CSI prints the parameters as text, and any SGR, mode, title, or alt-screen change in the gap is just... gone. FYI, this is why I don't like when people point at refterm as a terminal benchmark. refterm implements a TINY subset of what a terminal emulator must support, it's closer to a fast file reader, not a terminal emulator. I also don't mean any shade by this. I like to look at technology objectively to try to learn something and improve my own craft and work. So I'm sharing what I found. I modified your code very slightly to parse on every full buffer (rather than per tick). And the results are attached. Both use main commit in each repo at the time of this post. Note the graph is in log scale, the discrepancy between performance for things like Kitty images is measured in GB/s.

The uncomfortable truth is that mass private vehicle ownership is impossible with modern population & urban density There simply isn't room for everyone to store a car at their home address, drive it on a road, and store it at their destination It's not 'wokery' - it's geometry

The real issue with these 'day in the life' videos isn't just showing off the perks - it’s how that lifestyle is weaponized. Until 10 or 15 years ago, when big tech tech companies brought US-level perks to India, almost no one had access to these kinds of jobs. Even now, only the top 1% get to experience it. The problem is when some people in that 1% flaunts this lifestyle to the other 99% who are hungry for opportunity and desperate to break in. When aspirants reach out for guidance, these creators sell them pipe dreams, LeetCode courses, and Topmate packages, profiting off the desperation of the very people they claim to help.

This is another epic article from a woman who went to Columbia, landed "her dream job" and then left it all behind to get into sales. It's insane how consistent the themes are across high performers who go into these "prestigious" jobs. 1. Status had been a HUGE part of what drove her her entire life (she talks about the "glow in people's eyes" when she told them she went to Columbia. 2. She had a bunch of scattered interests so a job in consulting that would allow her to do a bunch of things was appealing and it also kept the veneer intact of being super impressive (which was a massive part of her identity). 3. At first the job was great, and she loved telling people what she did (she'd send pics to groupchats of insane lunches, trips etc.) 4. Inside she started to question whether she was actually adding value and whether she even liked what she was doing. She felt like she was barely using her brain/pushing herself, BUT the external image she could project to ppl kept her there. 5. After a lot of thought, she made an insanely scary decision and quit to get into sales (I wanted to hear more about the process of making this decision...she didn't really get into it). 6. Sales SUCKED at first. It was hard, she was bad at it, and was even embarrassed to tell her peers she was in "sales" bc it has a stigma attached to it. 7. HOWEVER things changed when she started closing business. As dollars began coming in that were directly attributed to her actions, she felt a sense of pride the "prestigious path NEVER gave her. In her words --> "It wasn’t until I closed my first deal that my mental framework began to shift. I remember strutting over to my manager’s desk and banging on the gong. I DID THAT! Wow, it feels great to own your outcomes. And then, HOLY SH*T, I got it wrong this whole time. Prestige means work you’re proud of, not work others are impressed by." SO awesome. We need more stories like this.

So tl;dr 1. OpenAI is power-seeking, and pretty transparent about this 2. Anthropic is power-seeking but tries to appear as if they are good This "overt" and "covert" misalignment is reflected in GPT and Claude respectively lesswrong.com/posts/nLaQmJf4…

Revolut's designers are moving off Figma. Storonsky spotted one team designing much faster than the others. What they did: 1. Gave an LLM Revolut's design system at the code level 2. Prompted it to build new flows on top of that system 3. Got a live interface they can click through on a laptop or phone, instead of static frames Result: 3-4x faster. Now he's pushing it to every designer at Revolut. His job, as he describes it: find what works in one team and spread it across the company. Full breakdown here: productmarketfit.tech/p/revo…

It’s a bit weird too: lots of the empowered devs (myself included) wasted lots of time in 2025 trying out software factories and not adding business value, while people who were more “use agents as autocomplete” may have done better. The former group now has to regain trust.

This account is really annoying. A flour tortilla that you’re going to eat immediately “needs” 4 ingredients. Try putting that tortilla on the grocery shore shelf and see what happens.
The Food Manufacturing Guy
@TipOfTheBananaOct 25
Mission flour tortillas have 11 ingredients. A tortilla needs 4, flour, water, fat and salt. The bag lists enriched bleached flour, water, vegetable shortening made from interesterified and hydrogenated soybean oils, then 2% or less of salt, sugar, baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, distilled monoglycerides, fumaric acid, calcium propionate and sorbic acid. The shortening is soybean oil that was hardened in a reactor so it acts like lard at room temperature. Baking soda and sodium acid pyrophosphate are a baking powder split in two, so the tortilla puffs on the hot plate in the plant. Distilled monoglycerides are an emulsifier. They keep the starch from going stale and hard, which is why a Mission tortilla is still soft weeks after you bought it. Fumaric acid drops the pH, and calcium propionate and sorbic acid stop mold in a bag that isn't refrigerated.

No, retirees should **not** have average incomes! They don't need it!! Their home should be paid off, they aren't raising children, and they no longer have to save for retirement! Let alone the impossible mathematics of giving non-workers an average income.

@RickEsenbergOct 26
I'm not entirely sure that I think it's outrageous for people who have worked all their lives and educated you and worked to build the country you inherit to have a more or less average income in retirement.
