L'hérésie américaine: faut-il brûler Peter Thiel? Le maître de Palantir descend sur Rome pour donner des leçons secrètes sur l'Antéchrist. Face à cette tentative de regime change théologique, le père franciscain et conseiller IA du pape Paolo Benanti explique pourquoi la religion de Peter Thiel n'est pas le christianisme - mais l'hérésie.

Today's Today in Tabs references this article with quite the title and tagline: "American Heresy: Shpuld Peter Thiel be Burned at the Stake?"

PP has always been an online reply-guy. Some people love that, but it turns out most don't.

Just so everyone's aware, the NS gov. fracking sessions are not consultation. Even at this online session with over 100 people in attendance, the chat is disabled. It's talking heads providing bs about fracking. I guarantee they won't approve my submitted questions.

What an absolute embarrassment.

Another Day Has Come If you agree that Apple itself was It’s hard to imagine a more orderly, confidence-inspiring, exciting-but-not-at-all-surprising, this-feels-right way to do this.

Solid take on the Cook transition at Apple.

I think Cook will continue in the Trump-puffing role, as he's no doubt an old hand at that stuff from dealing with various Chinese etc lordlings over the years. Now he can spare the real CEO from it.

Great shot. I love how he's just walking along with that Telecaster. Amazing nobody tried to nab it!

Hi.

I think Trump has decided being President is annoying - he's now aiming for Pope, or at least large-scale spiritual leader, like the God-Kings of antiquity.

LLMs are only good for 1) coding, since it's easier to make sure it's correct, 2) vague yet impressive-sounding reports for senior executives, since correctness is irrelevant.

Alas coders and executives—and executives who think they're coders—are very influential

Soon humans won't need to run half marathons anymore. I bet soon we'll have the technology so they won't have to run full marathons either. Think of all the time and energy we'll save!

If it's only graduated alumni that maybe explains why the Yeah Yeah Yeahs aren't on there?

Funnily enough I've started using em dashes much more often now. I used to just use hyphens everywhere but all the AI talk made me realize I should have been using em dashes instead

This has been one of the most interesting narrative attempts in the past two years: businesses & press outlets betting on a hard swing into one type of country, and Americans rejecting that story at more turns than not.

The very long audiobook of Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" has an even-keeled narration and a famously elegant style and is (at least for me) perfectly in between interesting and boring. Herodotus and Thucydides are pretty good for this too. Tao Te Ching, Paradise Lost, Whitman.

Easier said than done, obviously! But just knowing that it's normal to wake up in the middle of the night sometimes removes a lot of the anxiety en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypha...

Realize that it's perfectly normal to wake up in the middle of the night, so that instead of worrying I now just roll over and (eventually) get back to sleep. Slightly boring audiobooks on a 30 minute timer help too. Count deep breaths down from 100.

Same week in Nova Scotia. At least we have some hope!

Somehow this feels like "The Expanse" but not "For All Mankind"

I can't begin to imagine the adrenaline crash after something like that. I would sleep for a month

Also: how iconic and instantly recognizable is that Spitfire silhouette? Some complain that it was a bit of a scene-stealing diva, but when you're that beautiful it can't be helped

I used it today to find lunch.

A week of microgravity and seeing marvels with your own eyes, finished by 15 minutes of 4G press while plasma flames outside and your life depends on dodgy thermal foam that failed in the test flights, followed by splashdown and then hanging from a helicopter cable and now heading home

Interesting: the V-1 was jet powered and the top interceptors of the time could barely catch up to it. The YAK-25 has like 1/8 the power of a Spitfire XIV, but it's super maneuverable and has a very low stall speed, so it can easily circle around small prop drones so the gunner can bag them

In WWII British pilots figured out how to come alongside V-1 "flying bombs" and flip them over with their wingtips. Wonder if that could work with Shaheds? I'm guessing their guidance systems are probably more robust, but it's worth a try!

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

that they are freaking out this badly over a surtax on second homes worth more than five million dollars - the most excessive rich person thing imaginable, which doesn’t even affect most of them - really makes it clear how little attention you need to pay to the freak outs
