This makes me want to try omarchy

Yup.

Whenever disagreeable, humorless scolds start squealing about how "everybody must do X" or "everybody must stop doing Y" ... it makes a lot of people want to do the opposite.


Yeah a lot of people have failed to internalize a lot of the meta-lessons of current culture wars

Here's another meta-lesson: "woke" turns out to be broadly popular and is not actually going away.

Yes, many people *genuinely* give a fuck that tech leaders are promoting white supremacy and ethnic cleansing, and there will be actual consequences for this.


> there will be actual consequences for this.

Not implausible but what exactly because sometimes when people throw that phrase its just aggrieved cope


"Woke" is the 20 side of myriad 20-80 issues. It cannot accurately be described as "broadly popular."

What part exactly? I hope not the one about DHH publishing essays promoting far-right talking points.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

If despicable individuals start hating on somebody, reasonable people will have a positive view by default and will be more compelled to try what crazies are trying to ban.

"I don't care what you hate, since I have have seen what you cheer". Quite the opposite: "oh, you hate it, must be good and worthy"


makes cleaning up the trash easiler, obviously.

Typical. They're trying to make the 3rd world huge


The "3rd world" is huge. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly in need of a less-misleading map.

On a traditional Mercator projection Africa looks to be smaller than the United States and Canada combined. In reality Africa is 50% larger - and those are the 2nd-largest and 3rd-largest countries in the world!


They're huge if you look at area, but what about other axes?


Why do you think that the accurate size isn't worth representing?


It's mathematically impossible. Political mathematics always ends well


Political mathematics like the Mercator projection which shrunk Africa to an unrealistic degree?


Is that why we adopted the Mercator projection? No, it's not


I don’t know who “we” is, but seeing as this map was made in the 1500s by a European there is certainly an argument to be made that it is rooted in a Euro-centric view of the world.

Obviously. Every projection will be off. Unless you are a 15th-century sailor, there is no reason to favor the Mercator projection over any other one. Sticking with it is also a political choice.


Surprised nobody


Still won't convince republicans to ban endocrine distruptors like BPA/BPS.


Maybe you're right about that super specific issue, IDK


Surprised nobody


This is good for Americans. I'm not sorry.


> if the Democrats do not take control of most likely both the House and Senate in November then the chance for any sort of peaceful transfer of power in 2028 from Trump to a potential Democratic successor is vanishingly low.

I LOLed


A rich guy is always a target for certain women that are motivated by money. He has every reason to protect his reputation and money by proactively settling the matter officially. Sexual assault is a serious allegation


"Building a skill" is the agentic equivalent of "writing a script." It is done all the time by almost everyone who uses agents. A skill can be trivial or massive.

Most of the time, I'd advise against writing a skill by hand directly.

A common pattern is walking through how to do something step-by-step and then after it does what you want successfully, ask the agent "Create a new skill to capture this workflow."


Yeah for sure, I'll add a caveat for public facing skills in production.

Mostly interested in gotchas and efficiency improvements learned in shipping those to multiple harnesses, etc.


I laugh everytime I have to explain that "Apache Arrow format is more efficient than JSON. Yes, the format is called 'Apache Arrow.'"


I'm sorry that God offended your morals.

Also this isn't really "the torah" it's the talmud


What's the answer? Why have they diverged so much?


The Catholic answer is relatively straightforward in terms of decisions at various councils (or similar structures) about the trinity, iconoclasm, clerical celibacy etc.

With some mix of apostolic succession providing authority and the Holy Spirit guiding the big picture.
