And those countries certainly don’t think of themselves as being “socialist” countries or “socialist” societies. It’s just capitalism + better safety net (health/unemployment/retirement) + perhaps more state intervention in key industries. All of that exists in the US, but to different degrees.
For most European countries, “social democracy” is probably a better term.
Be the disaster you want to officiate.
To achieve the JCPOA, the Obama admin had to keep Russia onside. I wonder what the cost of that was.
Drawing of an owl perched on a small stone
For #SuperbOwl Sunday, a thread of superb owls by artist Morris Graves. First up: Morris Graves, "Owl on a Stone," 1968
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

My prediction: 20 years from now, we realize that LLMs were just the UI of AI.
This is coming soon.
Where “oh, no! We’re going to create the Singularity by mistake! Hold me back!” turns out to be pure advertising drivel to keep the hype machine in overdrive.
The prosecution is asking for that, not the judge.
The massive secret anarchist organization, working like a well-oiled machine, as it always does.
But the absurdity is the point! Frogs and the rest of the products of Portland’s brilliant imagination are superweapons in the response to the information war that the administration is trying to wage. Thank you for what you are doing!
We hate it when our friends become successful?
I’m starting to think that it’s important to generally push back against anthropomorphism with regards to LLMs. There’s way too much of this: “it understands”, “it likes”, “it hallucinates”, “it knows”. This is confusing/dangerous for people who don’t know how LLMs work.

China would never have dared do this if Trump were president.
And the people who created the Department of Defense were probably kinda involved in winning WWIII, no?
Eating a taco can be messy if you don’t have a napkin.
Epistemology ftw
Even if the « reciprocal » tariffs are removed immediately, the memory of whole sequence will have a huge effect on the place of the US in the world.
Belong?
The Kompromat theory would be that Trump is being forced to do something against his will. IDK but it doesn’t look like he needs to be extorted.
Exactly. More traditional « blowing things up ».
Sort of: the idea that the psychological impact alone of the initial strikes would cause the regime to crumble immediately turned out to be overblown. The concept is not well regarded anymore: www.airandspaceforces.com/article/1103...
Shock and awe didn’t work as planned for the military.
A lot of good programming thought and practice in this book, even if you’re not interested in Clojure. There are a few parentheses though.
