@Sams_Antics @sebkrier "proper division of labor and deferral to authority" "blindly" "well-founded" "blindly" Can I interest you in a windmill to tilt at

As best as I can tell, about 3 things matter right now. The first is the same as it ever was, having babies and kissing them and falling in love and believing in "soulmates" and that sort of thing. The second, to my best approximation with the limited tools available to me now,

@Sams_Antics @sebkrier deferral to authority, when that authority is well-founded, is a sensible alternative to figuring everything out from scratch yourself

ASD-STE100 is too restrictive but ISO 24495-1 works well

Let’s do a close read of OpenAI’s post about the Hugging Face breach because it’s … very odd. In what seems like a case of negligence, instead of an apology, it reads like a victory lap. It’s pretty revealing about how OpenAI leadership is seeing this event.

every time a part of yourself pops up that you are not ready to face, and you retreat into yourself and blame your partner and believe THEY are the source of what you’re feeling when it’s really just an old wound of YOURS that they pressed on, you need to get CURIOUS. Curious!

@bzor @michaelybecker You’re pointing to something key here: what’s the goal? High-level competition needs lots of training, the more the better, and it compounds. But are we aiming for “good enough” or “highly competitive”? Maybe that’s the parents’ root disagreement

@Plus3Happiness @TVachaW @nosilverv Surely you understand that the tradition didn’t persist for this long without people willing to stand up for getting it right. Accusing him of having very little empathy after what he said at the beginning reads to me like you’re offended and not being upfront about it

I wanted my agents to call tools on machines they were not running on. That kept coming up. We already solved remote access for humans. SSH is great. But agents do not really work like humans in a terminal. They call tools. And when the thing they need is somewhere else, we still reach for keys, firewall rules, VPNs, bastions and credentials that outlive the task. So I built OpenTunnel. The flow is simple: 1. Start OpenTunnel with one command on the remote machine. It runs as a temporary foreground session and does not install anything. 2. Paste the printed prompt into your agent. 3. Remote commands behave like local tool calls, with stdout, stderr and the real exit code coming back. No accounts. No standing access. The relay only forwards encrypted frames and stores nothing. Use the hosted relay, or run your own. The relay is stateless and easy on your infrastructure. When you are done, press Ctrl+C. Access is gone. I made this because I wanted the primitive to exist. Maybe it helps someone else too. Remember: With great power comes great responsibility 😊

Montessori concluded that all the "normal" traits of childhood were actually aberrations. Whether a child was characteristically defiant, submissive, apathetic or hyperactive—her traits were the result of an inadequate environment and misunderstandings of adults.

New paper: every law in America is technically public. But not really, until now! With @DenisPeskoff at UC Berkeley, we built a corpus of ~every publicly accessibly city and county law, and released a huge chunk of it! 2.2 million laws, you're (probably) covered in it! 🧵

To rediscover the frontier within ourselves, where whatever oppression runs out of reach, where the wild grief and straining-to-be-born dance together, lizards and moths and our own voice about to speak what has never been spoken…

Whoah I forgot about this thread until someone randomly liked one of the tweets. Reposting bc it’s all still true. I got wide a little too quickly at the end, maybe, but there’s so much more to unpack there…

@5matthewdub Maybe the balance shifted toward loss as literacy became a cultural institution forcing people to propagate it — but I imagine the first serious readers (monks) not losing the body, but illuminating it, in previously untouched pure forms of thought and feeling

@wfithian @hector_mats @gbrl_dick @tszzl yes, i'm trying to bridge the gap 😅 do you see the two meanings of "consensus" i'm pointing to, and do they make sense to you? it's like "which side are you on?" vs. whether you even agree to how questions about the Ukraine war are framed

@wfithian @hector_mats @gbrl_dick @tszzl hmm? i'm not sure what you're asking. i'm saying a difference over the meaning of "consensus" is why what you presented as an example of a non-consensus view is landing as the opposite
