> Jews believed you couldn't burn a piece of paper once you wrote the name of God on it, so there were special towers in ancient cities for Jews to throw away their paper. Fascinating! The Cairo Genizah Located in the Ben Ezra Synag

The headline makes this seem like they're labeling AI music, but it's actually just a scammer filter. Spotify is just making their internal anti-bot flags public-facing.

I think you could just ship generic robot dogs in a container and have local contractors straw-purchase firearms, 3d-print cradles, and combine them. None of the contractors would need to know what they were doing.

"It takes infantry to hold territory" is still true I guess, but now it's a single operator in a bunker.

Saw this for the first time when @dcre mentioned it. Really enjoyed this quote: > a clerk in a large insurance company in New York, and so here you see his office - drones laid out at desks almost as far at the eye can see. Each desk has

The Revolution allowed a new system to be built, but it is a teleological fallacy to point to the current system as the result. Centuries of trial, error, and institutional hardening led to the system current Americans would judge. The firs

Phew, I'm glad "inserting them into your nostrils and braying like a walrus" isn't on the list.

Agreed. The United States had an election in 1864, while the states were literally at war with each other.

Really enjoyed this: > In the centuries after Archimedes invented the Archimedes' screw, developments of propeller design led to the torus marine propeller... it was invented in the early 1890s "the centuries" indeed. :)

Yes, they are. Like any standard API, it is an orchestration layer that, given a specific input should always execute the same logic and produce a consistent output. Its job is deterministic execution. The agentic system that uses MCP (e.g.

MCPs are deterministic, SKILLS.md isn't. Also run.js can run arbitrarily generated Node.js code. It is a trivial vector for command injection. This might be sufficient for an independent contractor or student. It shouldn't be used

This is what the prelude to stagflation looks like - no job growth, yet prices rising. If the administration pressures the Federal Reserve into lowering interest rates, say, right before November 2026, then we lock in a stagflationary cycle

This was found posthumously in a rented garage. Imagine yourself walking in to a windowless room, turning on the lights, and seeing this.

"chuck some paint" is a deliberate misrepresentation. It misleadingly describes the scale, coordination, and intent. It uses a minor detail to trivialize an act explicitly intended to reduce military capacity.

I should have included the quote I was responding to: "some of them did chuck some paint on some planes."

Aladdin's lamp would have been an olive-oil lamp. Flammable vapor lamps are comparatively modern. Before the Renaissance, rock-oil/petroleum was used mostly for waterproofing as tar, with a few other medicinal and military uses.

Isaac Newton dedicated over thirty years to the study and practice of alchemy, writing over one million words on the subject. Comparable in scale to his writings on mathematics and physics. I'd rather GDP be $1B smaller right now if it
