A hundred retuts, but the people would get like a hundred thousand retuts.
And that basically destroyed, we used to destroy Twitter for you because once people who have no idea who you are seeing it and there's thousands of them,
everyone's going to be mad about everything.
So in this case, like the number of people who were so mad about this, first of all, people would not believe that it's 19% faster in single core, but then they would say like, well, it's certainly, uh, you know, got to be slower in multi-core.
I made the mistake of responding to one person and saying that it is actually similar to the M one and multi-core.
And they got super angry about that too.
It's like, yeah,
But that's not the, I'm not, you know, that's not the point of the post.
So anyway, I thought this was a good, short, instructive after show to just let people, you know, people who are not familiar with this phenomenon, which is probably young people like this is a thing that can happen to anybody.
If something you write online or post online, some Instagram thing or whatever breaks containment out of your little circle.
You'll know it because you'll start to get replies from people that are different than what you've been seeing.
Not necessarily worse or more hostile, but just like that seem confusing to you because they evidence a misunderstanding of your deal.
And it's because they don't know what your deal is because they don't have any context.
And so that's the thing that still happens.
I'm so not used to it happening to me.
This is why I talk about the cross-posting to Mastodon and Bluestide.
The reason I do that is I try to gauge like...
Where do I get more people actually responding to my stuff?
Where is my audience actually?
