the bodyoid faq: - how would bodyoids exist without a brain? biology already gives examples - in rare conditions like hydranencephaly, large portions of the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, fail to develop the body still forms, organs grow, and many basic

A man named Ayman Ghazali drove a truck full of explosives into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield — the largest Reform synagogue in America — while 140 children were inside. He was killed by security. No children were hurt. He was a 41-year-old restaurant worker from Dearborn

Microsoft CoPilot sucks so unbelievably bad, it's hard to imagine. Claude is 1000% better at integrating with Microsoft's own stack than Microsoft.

I experienced a perfect example of metrics hacking this week: I filed 3 support tickets — minor security tweaks to resolve real developer friction. IT closed all three immediately: "goes against security policy." No discussion, no alternatives offered. Then I got the

"Go back to Poland" — where 90% of Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. There aren't many left to "go back," that's the whole point. And the premise is wrong anyway: the majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi, descended from the 850,000 expelled from Iraq, Yemen, Morocco,

This is what economic suicide looks like;

When interviewing someone, at this point all I want to know is how good they are at Claude code. How are you figuring this out during interviews? Give them a take home project? Or what’s the best way.

Strip away the snark and what she's actually claiming is that cognition is sacred — that there's something morally contaminating about letting a machine do your thinking, the same way there's something morally contaminating about letting someone else write your essay. That's not

Paul Ehrlich died this week, and the tributes are rolling in — visionary ecologist, brave truth-teller, voice of conscience. What's missing from most of them is the body count. Ehrlich didn't invent the idea that governments should manage human reproduction. That goes back to

A defense contractor's law firm sent me a cease and desist for disclosing proprietary product information on one of my ~50 Cheatsheet Guide pages. A journalist had already emailed me asking about my sources — he'd spotted details he couldn't find on the company's official site.

Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 What would you do with your last two minutes of oxygen if the lunar module’s engine wouldn’t light? Neil Armstrong: I’d try to fix the lunar module.

Over 100K lines shipped that I've never read line-by-line. That's not a confession — that's the goal. I provide architecture and specs. The agent writes code. Automated tests validate it. I check outcomes. If something breaks, I find out from the test suite, not from reading

This is a really underrated point about Paul Ehrlich’s career. He wasn’t just wrong in retrospect. The Green Revolution was already well underway when he wrote his most famous book. And he chose to ignore it.

The most damning indictment of US defense procurement isn't a GAO report. It's the fact that the Pentagon just deployed a reverse-engineered copy of an Iranian drone — which was itself a reverse-engineered copy of an American drone. In 2011, Iran captured a US RQ-170 Sentinel.

Ultraprocessed food isn't a coherent scientific concept and the attempts to formalize it have been a joke, as with the scale used in this study. Slice a potato and bake it: Unprocessed (Group 1) Slice a potato and fry it: "Ultraprocessed" (Group 4) Nuts: Unprocessed Nuts,

This from Paul Ehrlich will make you think "If I'm always wrong so is science, since my work is always peer-reviewed, including the POPULATION BOMB and I've gotten virtually every scientific honor." Link in reply

Imagine the Jews being persecuted throughout the entire Middle East and Europe so an idea was birthed to go to a centralized place in the pursuit of safety that had a religious and historical connection to Judaism. Then Jews legally buy 7% of the land from Arabs for decades who

Anthropic would have built this in a day and a dev would have tweeted the news. At OpenAI, an exec is telling you about a plan. That gap tells you everything. In the last 7 days, Anthropic shipped Dispatch, channels, voice mode, /loop, 1M context GA, MCP elicitation, persistent

The “ai data centers are using all the water” thing was very radicalizing. I saw smart people, respected people, scientists- echo this back. You can not like data centers near you. You can complain they make electricity prices rise… But the water point is a total hoax. Every
