Rewatching first reformed for the first time since it came out and I had nearly forgotten how devastating it is

"No queens but drag queens" - Amy, to Adele

Just in case you wanted to know what kind of parents we are

What's actually happening (two distinct findings) 1. Retrieval works — lit_pos harness may be broken. The surface.py change DOES inject the expected liturgical docs into the candidate pool. lit_pos_03 surfaced "Collect for Julian of Norwich", lit_pos_09 surfaced "Optional Block (Ash Wednesday)", lit_pos_08 surfaced 3 Compline collects. But all 10 cases have matched_expectations: [] — the harness's (kind, name) pair matcher never fires despite the right docs being present. Likely a name-normalization bug in the replay script, independent of retrieval. 2. Prose spillovers aren't noise — they're real thematic hits. seed_03 (attention) accepted "Collect for Lydia of Thyatira" — Lydia's story in Acts is literally about attentive listening. seed_10 (work/vocation) accepted "Collect for Ignatius of Loyola" — Ignatian spirituality on work. The judge's register gate isn't "failing" to reject; these are semantically coherent. The spillover gate at ≤0 may be too strict for what filter-aware KNN makes reachable.

not at all kidding this is my console

Headline reading: "Anthropic wants Claude to be moral. I'd religion really the answer"

Guys in trying I promise

(This is not a joke I am literally running a session where Claude is embedding the liturgical calendar with readings, hagiography, prayers, etc)

The “Rawlsian” position of favouring the least advantaged may sound quite radical. However, it is not far removed from the statements of politicians who argue for income tax cuts on the basis that these would stimulate economic activity and hence increase revenue that could be used to raise the incomes of the poorest among us. As this argument illustrates, there is nothing intrinsically egalitarian about the Rawlsian objective. Maximising the well-being of the least advantaged may lead to a quite unequal distribution. More radical in this sense than Rawls was Plato, who expressed the view that no one should be more than four times richer than the poorest member of the society.8 On this egalitarian view, inequality matters on account of the distance between rich and poor, and there may be a case for action even where there is no gain to the poorest.

woke Plato

Got on the elliptical this morning and oh my God, everything is gonna be okay

I was so confused as a child

The divide between how LLMs can handle greenfield and brownfield is such a strong argument for the job stability of software engineers

Dawg?

Methinks you may have a fixation on "forcing"

I'm not really sure there's any clear line between stuff we like and stuff that's trauma response

perhaps the bishop of rome canst haveth just a little bit of jurisdiction in this realm, as a treat ⚓️

There's a big part of me that wants to properly get back into transfeminism but then I think the phrase "transsexually constructed lesbian feminist" and while I know what that means, it just makes me feel so very very tired

It unfortunately remains the case that people of good will can neither voluntarily seek care at or work at a Catholic hospital in America

Omg that's adorable

No!!!! Where do I find such a thing?

Do trans documentaries ever have any other subjects than the politics of disclosure?

You've always felt like a very chill dude to me

Ummm guys, I built a thing to train Claude on my whole media library and it took this take extremely seriously

And then decided it was also a dark parody of Gregory of Nyssa's epektasis.

The machine is truly terrifying
