Much to think about vis-à-vis EA, veganism, etc.

Screenshot of tweet by Natalie Wynn (ContraPoints) reading: Ethical values must be moderated by social values such as being chill, and knowing how to hang. Morality is an aggressive impulse, if unchecked it will rip a community apart.

AI discourse has made this dream more distant

Screenshot of an edited tumblr post that says "No, STEM majors and art majors are not enemies, in fact, they are kissing, sloppy style, squishing boobs together, etc." Above the post is a picture of Slavoj Zizek, implying he is saying this.

@ratlimit.bsky.social personally I found being 90% vegetarian was harder, because it meant I had to debate myself each time, instead of just having the choice made for me already. It also was *way* easier for friends to understand. I think this is called a "Schelling point"?

Screenshot of a tweet from @ratlimit saying "Being 90% vegetarian is just as good as being vegetarian, and half as hard"

Another thing, if you don't mind. I think commit fe41ba1 introduced a deadlock condition that can intermittently trigger under high load. I have Claudeslop explaining this, lmk if you want it. Thanks! Here's what I observed:

Where economic classes live relative to the city centre has changed over time

Screenshot of three graphs. Panel A shows the 19th century, with high incomes closest to the city centre, then middle incomes, then low incomes furthest away from the city centre. Panel B shows the 20th century during suburbanization, where the order goes low, high, middle. The final Panel C shows urban revivle in the early 21st century, with the pattern high, low, middle.

The Canadian prediction markets coming seem to be quite limited, though useful. More of an extension of futures markets then new broad knowledge infrastructure. www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/learn/...

Screenshot of text that reads:

Broadly speaking, prediction markets operate across sports, politics, economics, culture, and crypto. In Canada (as of March 2026), prediction market contract trading has been approved in only three categories: 1. Economic forecasts (inflation rates, the housing market)

2. Environment forecasts (average global temperature, if it’ll rain tomorrow)

3. Financial indicators (the closing price of the TSX, the change in the price of gold)

It turns out you can do quick and dirty semantic space mapping by putting tags as nodes on a force-directed graph, instead of using embeddings. Works pretty nicely for my small scale data (29 people/orgs, with tags and connections between them)

Nope, I got an email from them on Feb 20. I wish I could find more info about this online. My VPS is a VPS-1 and so I'm pretty sure this is an 85% price increase 😬
