I don't know i how big your company is (100? 5k? 150k?) but it probably has a C-Suite not larger than 20. The US army has over 2.5 million people and .. still less than 20 people at the top. These were the guys in 2021. This is how every large organization that works, works.

That's Wolfram's Rule 110, right? With no computation happening "on screen"? This image has (uninteresting? "random"?)) interactions between the "tape locations" I think...

When I went looking, I found a lot of graphs like this, enough to make a plot comparison chart about scatterplot comparison charts about fruit.

Yay! Ok, in that language, the lexicalized phrase "Holy Trinity" is a symbol in a millennia-old text system about history, psychology, institutions, etc. For me, the way Trump doesn't understand tariffs is *similar* to how this essay seems to not understand "the stakes in the filioque debate" 😇

That's neat! Part of what I like about this Lacanian stuff is how strongly it resonates with AI. This story here about "sign function collapse" reminds me a lot of both "lexicalized phrases" (a thing in human linguistics) and "symbol grounding" (which must be built for AI on purpose).

What was useful? I mostly find his ideas hilarious, and appreciate the people who get into them, because they are trying so hard to (1) talk about the outrageous insanity of the human emotional condition *and* (2) be formally "scientistic". It makes for fun conversations about stuff like this!

![https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Strange | Scholarship on global politics and economics
Strange was an influential thinker on global affairs.[14] She played a central role in developing international political economy (IPE) as a field of study,[2][15] and is a key figure in political economy approaches to security studies.[16] Her 1970 article, "International Economics and International Relations: A Case of Mutual Neglect", laid out her arguments for the need of a discipline of IPE.[3]
She argued that power was central to international political economy.[17] She claimed that in general, "economists simply do not understand how the global economy works" due to a poor understanding of power and an over-reliance on abstract economic models. However, she noted that political scientists also have a woeful understanding of international economics due to their emphasis on institutions and power. Thus she became one of the earliest campaigners advocating the necessity of studying both politics and economics for international relations scholars.[2] She influenced scholars such as Robert Gilpin.[18] She was a critic of regime theory, arguing that the scholarship on regimes was too state-centric and carried a hidden bias in favor of maintaining U.S. hegemony.[19]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dzwlkfkhiixxvfsldyjpycrg/bafkreid5bnzzifrpalq7l5t2r3qxneu2mhdqhuo4c37wvidchbfvgv6twy@jpeg)

First timer here! I live under a rock, and so... Great dancing! Bravery. Skill! Then somehow... Wait is that Spider-Man and That One Singer?! And now I'm getting an entire romance novel via search engine autocomplete...

Nebraska and Iowa probably have some differences, but they both grow a lot of corn, and both call it "pop", not "soda" or "coke".

Joel Garreau claimed the line between the breadbasket (rural Midwest) and empty quarter (mountain West) is defined by the counties that get more or less than 10 inches of rain per year (and can grow wheat). Colorado is close to triple point. SW: the border/desert, NW: cows and mines, East: planters.

I miss the cultural era when Steven Colbert could do recursively self aware parody that was widely appreciated. I wish he hadn't decided to stop when he realized he didn't want his young children seeing the performance because they hadn't yet acquired a theory of performative play.

Replying to Xavi & WBF both:
1) I'm not in Texas and might have voted for Harris if I was.
2) Fundamentally I want electoral reform to get a Proportional House and Condorcet President.
3) Oliver Chase was obviously way better than Harris or Trump:

Does he not understand that 100% of his hookup girlies are from the 7% of Twitter voters because "both groups are weird (and selected in different ways)"? Given the math skills, it seems *way more plausible* that he's engaged in a non-truth-oriented rhetorical strategy to condition his environment.

I'm going to call it "teal++". It makes sense how it would look.
By the same logic, just eyeballing "the place where blue and green sensitivity are minimized" another similar color could be "brick++"?
Then minimal green and red would perhaps be "black++"?

The arrows are almost long enough to begin to remind me of diagrams that "perceptrons provably can't answer certain questions about in general". The top maze thingy is *two* orange loops. The lower maze thingy has just one giant loop. Thus, you can infer that I am not a perceptron 😇

People who are too poor to afford GATTACA-style embryo selection should prolly get subsidies. The part that's bad about "having nice genomes" isn't "better genomes". It's that humans instinctively harm the reproductive success of other humans using ANY excuse, and "eugenics" is a scarily apt excuse.

I hypothesize that the vanguard of online culture might have been Twitter in 2019, but now Reddit and the Chans have retaken the mantle, but will not hold it. Where do I find anime avatar accounts on Bluesky with takes this nihilisticly hilarious?

Woah. Crazy data there!
1st reaction: "So if you get to 4% and still haven't won, you're dead in the water?"
2nd look: Wait! That's because with just 3% you usually win!
Which seems bonkers! With five hostile factions, you could have a mere 15% of the population fighting in the streets! 🫠⚖️🙃🔥
