Probably news, on TV, or in the paper, or radio. I imagine also we had more connection socially in areas like coffee shops, the library, bars, etc. What was before that I wonder?

Your thoughts?

Thank you for sharing all that, and your experience. I didn't know sludge was an issue, and that's valuable for me to remember that it can be tested for! In some of my past I lived on eco villages and sustainable cooperative farmland housing, and we had a regenerative farming process going - since they were on remote regions like Hawaii big island or Oregon sludge likely wasn't used though I know now to check wherever I go next.

> 1. (bio-solids, along with everything ever flushed down a toilet or run down a sewer or drain, and then some)

Ah yes so the sludge or at least the other undesirables ends up on the land even without the owner intentionally using it there?

I think from our convo maybe the options in popular states or counties are limited or corrupted and that leaves a few. I wonder if non-USA areas are just simply better for many of the reasons mentioned.

Good chatting my friend.

I'm disappointed you focus on weirdness and whats normal, and respond in a dismissive tone from there and then expect that I would suddenly engage your hostility and bad faith with respect.

You have disrespected me and I am not open to engaging with you further. Please read the hacker news rules as well, you have violated them.

Weird question - is there any talks or attempts at limiting land owner usage of their soil for "<insert purpose here>" or is this mostly folklore or conspiracy talk?

I want to buy land some day and want to avoid the hotspots where my freedom of my property is curtailed in this way.

And maybe the soil use isn't specifically limited, but other proxies are in effect: I think of (a) water use, (b) spread of patented seed observed and business prosecution of your crop or even (c) control of your livestock or animals because "<insert plague or health concern here>".

It's an interesting time to be alive when your local models are supposedly the pinnacle of what a free nation is capable of, yet the ethicality of the companies is disliked and their models restrict and limit you so much you root for the models from a socialist/communist state. If it wasn't for the effectiveness of propaganda, tribalism and psyops in this scenario my words wouldn't even be controversial and would just be seen as a truthful observation.

I wonder about that. Why is this one of the few communities, that despite being so high quality in a technical sense has so little in person community connection?

It was technology. With greater efficiency, came also greater separation and distance at home and with family and community and our initiatory rituals/rites.

We used to use community to pass those down, but now the average American family gets divided from each other at an early age as soon as the distraction and ideology from technology like screens and things social media comes into play.

Edit: Before internet, there were other forms of "social media" at play attempting to extract the attention of the individual units of the family and community, but they weren't as effective. With the internet they are more effective.

Depends on how much they pay the new CEO to take the job - probably more than the old one, so seems he's worth a lot dead.

AI appears to be doing this Software Engineering too, so seems it applies to other industries too.

Maybe the net effect so far has been more extractive and a transfer of wealth to a select few people? Is this how past technological revolutions were, or is this the first so far?

I think the elephant is the room is we hope things will change later - will they really?

So because it would wreck they if others found out, it’s unlikely?

Which is more likely? That past behavior is an indication of future behavior, or that they because they could be eliminated from being found out it’s unlikely they’d do that thing. (By the way it’s also likely they’d are eliminated if they dont train their data with every advantage over their competitors possible). So I think it’s naive to think the incentives reward not doing the malicious thing now.

I think the risk of not doing is more existential than doing so and getting caught. Wouldn’t you agree?

Edit: And the point of the poster is they have already demonstrated a track record of lying and misconduct, so how can you trust their word now? What have they done to show you they have taken responsibility for past actions and changed?

Ah. Is it true? What do you think?

BTW did you see this and have thoughts https://openai.com/supply/co-lab/work-louder/

I prefer to have minimal flows where each window is just the pure session contents, with a title maybe (even then I don't like the bloat of a title taking up any screen real estate).

I definitely wouldn't use any coding agent, GUI (yours included) without my skills. They are where most of my effort has gone, and what make the session effective. Without them, I'm spending a lot more time hand-holding and re-doing work with the AI.

So I created a system that seems a bit opposed to yours, or at least I'll take inspiration from you and probably update it. It's an overlay that I can resize, and an accompanying web view, of all my running coding agent terminal sessions. I can find old ones too, but mostly I want to know when something finished running or if it's waiting for me on something and if so what. It's not published anywhere but if you want to try it or see screenshots I can share.

I have a similar bet. Looks like people don't like this idea. You got downvoted a lot.

I'm so sorry. This sounds horrible. Have you local elected officials or the contractors been made aware of this and are willing to do anything about it? Even help sound proof windows, outdoor areas, etc.

I think this kind of behavior by the groups causing this impact on you is irresponsible and harmful, even if it's not known. If they know I think they are being unethical - I think its fair if they suffer harm and damage as a result such as in court or you similarly start to coordinate a group of people that can make their jobs harder as well through legal means of course.

Maybe ya'll stand outside their work and speak with megaphones for as long as possible, or just stream a speaker blasting audio towards them as they work.

Without blue light or loud noises there are no sleep issues. You just fall into rhythm with the sun and rise and sleep more or less by the seasons. No industry coaching, science or reliance on an expert needed - *except the sun.

I think you are pretty Ad Hominem oriented in speaking with me, and I don't like that.

I have first-hand experienced being non-consensually preyed upon and experimented on by that organization, and am traumatized from my experience with them.

Yes I've taken the appropriate escalations and saught support from my elected officials. So far, no relief. My experience dictates that most people are quick to laugh and ridicule me, like you and your hostility and Ad Hominem style logical fallacy based messaging. I think you are just a astroturfed style personality on the web and if you didn't mean to be hostile, I hope you know that you certainly came across that way. edit: I see this is not an engagement that is serving me in any way, and is hurtful and abusive over substantive or providing value. I'm going to check out now and wish you luck at whatever it is you seek.

Interesting. Just opened it up to use, while I had a codex terminal session running - my first instinct was to want to see my pre-existing open session in the GUI instead and be able to drive it in either spot. Is that something I can do?

Also when I opened a new session (in the Juggler GUI) at my root where all my projects live, my instinct was to navigate to a project directory first or to have it open there. Not sure how to do this, without changing the global setting for my projects root. That's how I think through claude code/codex coding sessions via the terminal wondering if that mental model is wrong.

I asked which skills it could access, and it turns out it couldn't access any of my global skills already - I thought that part would just work since it accesses my codex subscription. is that something you plan to add.

No I meant limit.

Ah ok. Well I don't see it limiting their misconduct and behavior, do you?

That doesn't seem controversial to me.

I wish the same were true of all federal organizations though. For example, CIA regulates itself with its own supervision too.

Other orgs do it too. I don't think they do it well.

Where's the actual systems of transparency and digital modernization of government programs?

It wouldn't be hard to show transparency into budgets and how the money is spent. Actually track it and make certain non-confidential things public. But as it stands the system scams the public taxpayer by labeling everything confidential and then hiding the data. It feels to me how criminals operate at the highest level.

It's hardly really about Anthropic. It's about all the people who funded them, and other AI companies, who are on the campaign by funding Anthropic seeking to end a majority of life for most humans.

Because that's what it really appears to be about, preserving a rich man family's legacy so his children can live for another few generations before they over populate and humanity repeats the cycle of indefinite war, hoarding of resources, and killing to have more for yourself. I guess every rich, powerful generation though doesn't think that future will come now, so they keep manipulating their way to extracting more and more from people and stealing their way to the top.

When a majority of the population is sick, naive, and overstimulated its not hard to convince them with your propaganda that that you are on their side and that the sacrifices they make for your power are worth it. of course they don't see how their life spans, their deaths, etc were for you cause and not theirs.

You can structure meetings to drop performative theater and rigid ineffective communication patterns, so that less artificial "informal" conversations at the water cooler are needed.

Not saying they don't have a place, just that we over lean on artificially controlling and "steering" or manipulating our way with others and that IMO is what limits the creativity we are claiming to be after.

This is not drama though, it's more inline with unethical, immoral, and bad. It's indicative of company with bad character.

Is there any other AI company with as much controversy as this company?

- ~murdered~ (dead) employee who's mother is on a anti-sam hate campaign - ceo fired then coup's his way back into the company - conflict of interest with Microsoft

Despite Anthropic's bad press, they haven't been as dishonest as this company.

Nice. I know of a Montana llc that got permanent plates so registration is now not required and only yearly LLC paperwork is required. The privacy is of course able to be compromised since data goes over a year. Though for the sake of protection against malicious actors and hostile groups, it is still better than a citizen-based ownership & registration.

There's a reason the ultra wealthy and rich have so many umbrella organizations and don't really "own" anything.

Hi the ownership/use/residency is not something that can be interpreted subjectively in cases where they like, to prejudiciously or personally target select individuals they don't like. I'm simply stating that when it comes to paying tax, it's up to wherever you live to articulate clearly when and how you pay tax when it's applicable to you.

When you don't owe tax, you don't pay it. When you owe it, you pay it. However don't cloud up the space and confuse people by saying you owe tax for property you don't own because someone feels that you are evading tax. That's not actually lawful or law based justice, that's hate/fear and prejudice based simply to prove a point. For example here, that privacy is not allowed and that you should be afraid for not taking ownership of things you use such as vehicles.

In cases where you use things you don't own, the law is usually pretty clearly articulated: pay use tax for what you use, pay registration and sales/registration taxes for things you own. Tax authorities know this and will articulate it clearly usually, except I suppose in certain prejudiced and discriminatory cases like when privacy is concerned like vehicle registration by LLCs. Now do you need to take ownership of things you use in a state just so you can hypothetically pay a tax for an evasion accusation that you don't apply to, I would be incredibly surprised to see if any state actually is saying this - I don't think its constitutionally or legally sound in any way. Instead, what I see, is fear mongering, authoritarian language and discourse and simply as I originally stated in my post Ad Hominem and logically fallacy based communication.

I use the candles for a meditative gazing practice called trataka. Gazing at fire has never hurt me (edit: even at low light conditions), but usually feels calming, giving me more creativity as well. Also to optimize cost, I discovered beeswax tea light candles which are reasonably priced, between $0.30-$0.50/candle and I'd put them in these tiny single lanterns that you can carry around that make it more practical to use these for indoor light. I also found that having a incense burner device (theres ones where you use the beeswax candle under a metal mesh, as the source of heat (And now light too!) with my favorite resins like myrrh for scents also really helped set a great mood & regulate the nervous system for transition. I also would use these digital yellow candles that operate off of AA batteries and you can set on a schedule with a remote, they were so good and before I moved they would jsut automatically set the mood and light core areas with just enough light and brightness for night time. I suggest them! The brand I got was Aignis Flameless LED Candles (on Amazon). Get the orange and not white/blue.

>Standard modern nighttime lighting started seeming insanely bright after a few days of doing the candle thing. It really takes very little light to navigate your house and do many tasks safely and comfortably

Yes agreed. It's so nice once you get used to this, and I think this is how our ancestors lived for millions of years followed by candles, incandescent and then horrifyingly today's blue lights.

Did you notice blue in specific feel incredibly unnerving and painful to look at at night even in low light output after adjusting to night time settings?
