Pre-butchered a bit this year and cooked the crown separate from the legs/thighs (which were boned, stuffed, and wrapped in bacon).
Definitely the best the skin has ever come out.

One thing about the ancillary news surrounding Opus 4.5 was the arrival of Claude Code in the desktop, which has this option of coding in a ‘cloud environment.’
I can’t tell who this is for, it feels like a feature fragment or proto-feature.

There are no non-economic social, cultural, or political issues. Economics is woven into the fabric of everything we do as a society
There are, however, non-economic 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 of these issues and we need to start rejecting those framings.
I mean just look at this profligate spending...

Also if we're really gonna go hard at this issue the way a Republican would with an arbitrary muh tax dollar issue, I'm gonna have some questions about why there's so much "shadow funding" of sports.

If in fact it IS a public good, then it's a public good because it helps people build community, and build a healthy sense of identity, and do exercise-y stuff.
But of course, if it's a public good then everyone gets to play, else why the fuck are we spending 3% of Ed. money on it?

Now here's the thing: I personally do not give a fuck about sports, and have no reason to support them 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 they are accretive to society broadly (e.g. a public good).
So the reason I haven't been throwing a fit about 'muh tax dollars' here in CO is because I have been assuming that.

![Uta Frith, in her book Autism: Explaining the Enigma,[8] addresses the superior performance of autistic individuals on the block design test. This was also addressed in an earlier paper.[9] One article demonstrates the differences in construction time in the performance of the block design task by individuals with and without Asperger syndrome. An essential point is that in an unsegmented version of the task, people with Asperger syndrome performed significantly faster than individuals without Aspergers](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xt275vhecygijlugxz67tj3w/bafkreihrizrakbhc36ztl6tonmqatuxayrpota2re2zkne2z5axwzwyj3i@jpeg)

They’re useful inasmuch as you’re working within your domain of competence, since the user has to function as the system’s variety attenuator and attending to ‘surplus variety’ the system generates as it runs.
This is true of all non-deterministic systems.

Now, how do we determine how much context is ‘sufficient?’ Well friends, that’s entirely use case dependent so you gotta figure that out yourself.
