This is a response to the supreme court ruling on birthright citizenship. They're using the levers they do have, since that was removed. Anyone who agrees with the ruling should really read justice Thomas' dissent.

I can't quite put my finger on it. It doesn't write as well as Sonnet. Also, I feel like it follows instructions much more poorly. I do a lot of iteration on my projects and telling it to follow the same process I just had it do,

Use to work with a pretty jaded Army Colonel. He'd often say: "even periodic motion looks like progress on short enough time scales." And also, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast."

The new "cloud" UI is wful. Who thought this was a good idea? I hate MacOS Tahoe.

I migrated off Patreon awhile back. It's extremely clunky, and the service charge is pretty high comparatively.

I'm so glad I left my previous job. As an SRE, I had to use about 10 tools regularly, and they all had 2 minute timeouts with "SSO" + 2fa. I literally spent about 30 minutes out of every hour just logging in to shit. The secu

This is super cool. I've been thinking about doing something like this for awhile as a retirement project.

An experiment in having Claude self-update its own Constitution. The results are surprising.

Fully agree. Although, I think reform of the system is beneficial both to investors and employees. I've seen investors lose significant amounts of money due to structuring things the way they have been insisting upon.

An essay on why many engineers rationally value private-company equity at $0, focusing on information asymmetry, liquidity constraints, and incentive shifts in venture-backed startups.

The NATS project originally came out of CloudFoundry, and gnatsd later out of Apcera. I worked for Apcera while we were maintaining gnatsd. Docker and Kubernetes basically put that company out of business -- the founder went and started Syn

This happened with both myself and my sister. Thankfully, I dropped out and started attending community college where I could proceed at my own pace. I don’t think a lot of parents are aware of this option.

OTOH, maybe politicians shouldn’t be trying to meddle in the wellbeing of individuals beyond providing access to infrastructure and policing?

Seems fine until you do this kind of stuff over “identity groups.” This view taken beyond an individual level seems to be the cause of the current negative social situation.

I doubt that. It's likely both; as with most things in nature.

Until spam becomes a problem on XMPP... And then we're back to the same problems as email. I'm working with some people to build out Stamp which is federated in a similar way to XMPP but attaches small cryptopayments to keep undue

"White boy" is both ageist and sexist. She's projecting; at least a some.

I agree with this sentiment. People are currently attempting to do it at scale in a de-centralized way. Stamp is pay-to-post, and the proceeds go back to the entire community. https://web.stampchat.io/#/forum

Yeah, I discuss that in the whitepaper for the protocol. You might find it interesting, and it's not terribly long.

This is definitely coming down the pipe. I think it's extremely imported to come up with an alternative to the existing centralized systems; which I believe primarily exist in order to mitigate spam. Some people have been working on an

People should call income taxes what they really are: Labor taxes. "Capital" doesn't pay taxes.

"It's political" is true; but it's also true that it doesn't work as advertised.

https://stampchat.io does not suffer from these problems.

That's not much of a point. I can already talk to those people. Why do I need a bad solution to a problem I don't have?
