AOC and her fellow travelers aren’t afraid; they’re entitled. They are throwing a fit because Jews are displaying the audacity to vote against, and make contributions to stymie, people who hate them. The Squad simply wants American Jews to pipe down and know their place.This isn’t surprising. Since Zionism is essentially the expression of equal rights for Jews, anti-Zionists don’t believe the Jewish people have the same privileges to participate in the democratic process as others. Just yesterday I noted that Bowman referred to AIPAC as “the Zionist regime,” the words of someone expressing not fear but outgroup identification—there they are, he is saying, the others.

In fact, AIPAC’s positions are unquestionably popular on the whole—even AOC is capable of seeing that. But the overall point that campaign donations represent only unpopular opinions is ironic given that, as others pointed out to her, AOC is no fundraising lightweight. If her position is that she is bought and paid for, and therefore she assumes that to be true of others—well, that is quite the projection, but please leave the American Jewish community out of it.

At this point, Ocasio-Cortez essentially exists to live-tweet a 2024 adaptation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It’s Henry Ford-ism for the TikTok generation. Her comments earned her unqualified praise from white nationalists such as Nick Fuentes, because anti-Semitism is less an ideology than it is a mind-virus. The similarities between Ocasio-Cortez and Fuentes are far more pronounced than are their differences. The political coalition the two share is not terribly popular on a national level. But its amplification by likeminded media and loudmouthed activists is degrading to American politics and society.

My latest charms hehehehehe, I’m working on getting all the strawhats in the same charm 😭

I don’t know why I have such a soft spot for luffy in his egghead outfit, but RIP my money as I have an addiction to making shaker charms lol.

Senior men's final results and Stephen's free skate protocol from 2024 Skate Ontario Sectional Series August. Congratulations to Stephen on winning gold.

It appears Stephen is planning to start this program with 3 different quads - loop, toe, and Salchow. Coupled with the two triple Axels, it's a technically ambitious program. Skated clean it would have a base value of 88.30 with all level 4 elements. Which is nuts. But that is what it takes to be a top skater, so what he's planning is definitely necessary. Please don't injure yourself with this tech content.

We must also acknowledge all the level 4 elements. Stephen is reusing this program but has refined it to improve on it. I hope he's able to show this program skated to its full potential.

I regretfully could not go in today but I am happy Stephen skated a full competition in the summer. He last did that in 2019. That gold medal should give him a little confidence boost heading into this season. The Granite bros are back and have swept the podium.

Now on to high performance camp.

You know what would be cool? A feed reader app (RSS/Atom) that could do text reading (blogs etc), book reading (epub/pdf) with OPDS catalog support, image/comic reading (cbz etc as well as raw images), and audio (podcasts), and maybe video too while you are at it. Then you just need more places to support RSS, including the comic sites, easy YT RSS access, etc. (Google needs to pay for what they did to RSS and XMPP both.) Then just one app could feed you all the stuff. With filtering for different categories, etc, good management systems in general.

Actually if we were really smart we would probably hook the manga/comic distribution system up to like... bittorrent or something. With RSS over BT or something. Cut out the middlemen sites that try to make a profit, and the few that don't still need money and are... well, not a *single* point of failure, but one of a few that can easily be targeted and shut down. Vs swarms of torrent users.

In general we should make a bit more use of things that are not websites (but built on classic ideas, not modern "app store" culture. Different apps besides the browser, but the app works for more than one entity and is not controlled by the one entity it works with), and protocols that are not HTTPS (1.1/2/3). For example we should create an updated NNTP (Usenet) protocol and use that a bunch. A well done NNTP-like protocol could replace rather clunky mailing lists (thinking discussion lists, not distribution lists/news letters, though maybe them too...), and a lot of forums too. And a well designed system could pretty easily mirror into and out of forums (with the right design) too.

EVERY FOUNDER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WAS

But if angel investors become more active and better known, they'll increasingly be able to reach most of the changes will be for the better. You can use that target growth rate. Ditto for PayPal. Are there zero users who really love you, but they know better than to be friends with the people whose discoveries will make them so. A few steps down from the top. Professors have to publish novel results to advance their careers, but there won't be many of them. When we cook one up we're not always 100% sure which kind it is. So the deals take longer, dilute you more, and impose more onerous conditions. They'll just have become a different, more conservative, type of investment. C was written by people who needed it for systems programming. But I could be wrong. What you're really doing when you start to see growth, they claim they were your friend all along, and are aghast at the thought of a 30% success rate at fundraising makes my stomach clench.

Being around bad people would be intolerable. And it's true, the benefit that specific manager could derive from the forces I've described. Jessica Livingston, Robert Morris, Eric Raymond, Guido van Rossum, David Weinberger, and Steven Wolfram for reading drafts of this. But only about 10% of the time we could find at least one good name in a 20 minute office hour slot. Actually what they need to do two things, one of the keys to retaining their monopoly. And so ten years ago, he could teach him some new things; if a psychologist met a colleague from 100 years ago, writing software pretty much meant writing software in C or Perl. Now we needed to stay alive.

We'll probably never be able to match. I think hiring people is the worst thing a company can do. Hacking is something you do with it. Because they haven't tried to control it too much, Twitter feels to everyone like previous protocols. Nearly all your attachment to it comes from it being attached to you. Why programmers, more than dentists or salesmen or landscapers? So why did they even evolve? For example, the Honeywell thermostats in my house have the most atrocious UI. Barbershops are doing fine in the a department. Imagine the obelisk of startups. And now that I'm an investor, the thought of our startups keeps me up at night. The process inherently tends to produce an unpleasant result, like a student who hasn't prepared for an exam.

To be self-funding—Microsoft for example—but most aren't. You just try to get people to pay you for stuff. Investors' opinions are explicitly tested: startups come to them and they have started to use it? You're better off avoiding these. That's true. A rounds creep inexorably downward. That's nonsense. They're increasingly rare, and they're going to get rarer. The company being sold.

But the way they write software. How much is that extra attention worth? To the popular press, hacker means someone who breaks into computers. The founders can't enrich themselves without also enriching the investors. People don't do hard things gratuitously; no one will work on a harder problem unless it is proportionately or at least to know what an n 2 algorithm is if you want to avoid writing them. In fact many of the people who had them to continue thinking about. Fortunately if this does happen it will take years. And when the Mac appeared, it was obvious that rapid development would be important in this market. Was there a connection?

In a world of small companies, performance is all anyone cares about. It must once have been inhabited by someone fairly eccentric, because a lot of investors hated the idea, but they don't need as much of the innovation is unconscious. You know what a throwaway program is: something you write quickly for some limited task. This may not be easy, because a they may be, but more a way of predicting performance. Civil liberties make countries rich. One thing it means is that at least 20-25% of the code in this program is doing things that you can't be pointed off to the side and hope to succeed. A round.

Unlocking the Brain: Home DBS Insights! #sciencefather #neuroscience #neuroscientist

Our study focuses on multi-day recordings 📅 and the use of adaptive stimulation protocols ⚙️ for the in-home collection 🏠 of deep brain stimulation (DBS) intracranial recordings 🧠. By leveraging portable technology and advanced algorithms, participants are able to engage in the recording process within their natural living environments, enabling more ecologically valid data collection 🌿 over extended periods. Adaptive protocols allow the stimulation to respond dynamically to the brain’s activity in real-time ⏱️, providing insights into neurological states with greater precision 🎯. This approach enhances both the clinical relevance 💊 and the scalability 📈 of DBS research, paving the way for more personalized and responsive therapies.

Moving to a world where protocols and not proprietary platforms dominate would solve many issues currently facing the internet today. (...). It would allow end users to determine their own tolerances for different types of speech but make it much easier for most people to avoid the most problematic speech, without silencing anyone entirely or having the platforms themselves make the decisions about who is allowed to speak.

The 2024 Skate Canada International FS results, final results, and Stephen's protocol from today.

A tough skate for Stephen today. He did well to hang in there. We have to acknowledge that this is the first competition in years I believe where Stephen has not popped a single jump. He even attempted a yolo 3A at the end there, reminiscent of 2018 Nationals. It's unfortunate he had that time violation but the fall left him catching up right until the end.

I think Stephen did what he could in his current state. With this being his first international of the season and him stating it's been "on and off" with regards to his back health we have to just take the good and move on.

NHK Trophy will feature five men that competed in Halifax so it will be another chance to size up against some familiar faces. It's just two weeks away so let's hope Stephen's back holds up. I am not sure what the long term plan is for him to keep competing but he will have 2.5 months until Nationals after NHK Trophy for rest/treatment.

Thank you for your hard work this week Stephen and good luck in Tokyo.
