I’m curious what model was used to synthesize this post. It reads clearer than the usual Claude stuff.

American here: my high school used to sell lunch milk in clear hand-sized square plastic bags. We were expected to successfully pierce only one side of the bag with a pointed straw.
The technique was… learned. Some people took a while to master it.


From the way the article describes it, he’s basically trying to assert that the collective bargaining of the union is not the city council’s job, and is the sole responsibility of the mayor.
I guess the argument is that City council shouldn’t be trying to pass laws about compensation of union employees, as it violates the established collective bargaining rules.
Dunno if there’s more to it than that.


After testing via api for a few days, this model is genuinely impressive for its size/price.
Feels a little like running opus 4.6 on medium think. Quick enough, clean enough. Still makes some minor errors once in a while, but it’s fast enough to be useful and cheap enough that you can use it for everything and still pay very little.


Upgrade that to 3.8 as soon as your hardware allows (and your use case makes sense). 3.8 is quite a bit more rational.


A new malaphor minted in the wild!
The two expressions you merged were:
The idea that “public companies only exist to maximize value for the shareholders” is toxic af, and only introduced because some famous economist made it popular [source needed, I have some vague recollection but I’m talking out of my ass]. Once it became the de facto law of capitalism, “investors” stopped allowing decisions that didn’t benefit their bottom line, and could sue to ensure decisions that they disagree with (especially if they cost more than they earn)
If we took away the “legal obligation to the shareholders”, which is an ultra-simplistic optimization that often results in “greedy algorithm” decision making for next quarters earnings, and made the obligation to 50% employees and 50% shareholders, along with better ongoing taxation of negative externalities, being on the board would be a real job instead of a few hours a week position in some cases. You’d have to negotiate big picture things, handle employee concerns seriously, while still being pushed to generate revenue by the shareholders.
Capitalism would probably still work, mostly. I think if leadership weren’t driven by “shareholder value”, adding plans to mitigate externalities that aren’t required by law would be easier. Currently, I don’t think any company builds a coal power plant with smoke or co2 capture that isn’t required to by law.
Stock markets would still be able to pick and choose investments, but if a company chose a 10 year plan that loses money the first year, they couldn’t be sued for replacement so long as the employees and one board member agreed on it.
Idk. It’s a poorly thought out fantasy of mine to fix how corporations work. I’m sure I’m missing something other than big piles of money that would never let it happen. There are a lot of other systemic legal and structural problems we’d need to fix, but reallocating boards to be 50% voting employee representatives would be a starting point.
The learning curve for quadlets is quite harsh in my opinion. I started with podman compose 3 years ago for my homelab, because it allowed user containers.
I tried to migrate to quadlets unsuccessfully, several times over the years. it was only recently that my self-hosted Qwen was capable enough to figure out where I was messing up and automate the process a bit.
I probably wasn’t sufficiently motivated. It felt like podman compose is basically docker compose, but quadlets are a quite a bit different in form and function, so I was never able to grok them:

Not that I believe anything the government says anymore, but a shitty reading of Sun Tzu is “pretend to be weak when you are strong, pretend to be strong when you are weak.”
Not an MD, but that sounds like a problem you might want a doctor to look at. My partner of many years had terrible gallstones that were fairly debilitating. When it got to its worst and she started turning yellow, a few days before she had an episode like you described.
Talk to your doctor about weird painful shits.
This was actually my superpower. When I would review my friend’s papers during grad school, as soon as my eyes glazed over or my attention wandered, I would circle the paragraph and tell them to clean it up.
Brain going everywhere is usually a pretty clear sign of convoluted writing, and if you can tell someone to fix it, do.


This was a wild ride.


That 8 hour 20 minute spec for returning to baseline could probably be sped up a bit to improve the inter-frame timing
Modern monitors measure gray-to-gray time as the response, rather than black-to-black. So if she computed the 50% luminescence threshold time on the decay side, and then started injecting the next round at that time, could likely cut the decay time to closer to 200 minutes minutes for the first frame, and then probably double that for the inter-frame times, depending on the GFP decay rate.
Who knows, maybe she already took that into account. She seems to be well rounded.

From the charts in the video (above), it looks to be symmetrical near the peak, but the 50% concentration on decay is around 200 minutes minutes of decay followed by 70 minutes ramping up would put the inter-frame time to be about 3.5 hours.
I realize concentration of fluorescing enzyme may not be 1:1 with lumens emitted.
If this worked the way I imagine, This cuts the total time to play from 600 years to about 200 years. Rounded to 1 significant figure, since this is all ballpark math anyway.
A fellow connoisseur, I see!


Did this one achieve some intense introspection just now?
I know what you meant (I have one for fish as well), but I chucked because you looked very enthusiastic about it!
The fish function for !! is super useful though
Honestly? I want that.


I was able to beat him 3 or 4 days ago, after the rock pile thing wasn’t part of the fight anymore.
Overwhelming force: strength build, vulnerability , and the card that gives you strength when you lose health on your turn, combined with multiple cards that triggered damage, and a power that dealt 1 hp damage at the beginning of my turn.
Accept that you will lose a few cards and build redundancies.
I’ll look up my build later.
This sounds like a fork of OpenClaw with an extra embedding memory system built in. A bit like hindsight or one of the other vector memory stores with the ability to overwrite a memory.
I’m betting there’s a lot of formerly open source projects here that got vendored to make this.
