I actually do think those things are related - a lot of the MAHA people lead unhealthy lives due their distrust of doctors/evidence! & were he alive, I do think he'd be a MAHA guy. Gotta look at what aging punks have done, you can "anti-system" your way around into supporting pretty much anything.

you can substitute "did not seek out" treatment if you prefer, but you are certainly also supposed to call a doctor if you are on heart meds and intensely ill with the flu!

call me a centrist but i think there is no such thing as a true self or even a distinct boundary between the self and the environment. they're both equally and validly you!

the inherent tension between the idea that human identity is inherently social and relational, and that what people do in private or alone is their "true self"

being anti doctor is a long tail thing. you avoid a lot of tedious interactions and stress, and it kind of works out. until it doesn't, and then you or someone you love has their life ruined for no particular reason

when I think of "medical tyranny", I think about the lead singer of Type O Negative, who wrote an anti-doctor song comparing them to Mengele and the inquisition and the importance of death with dignity he then died at 48 from diverticulitis complications after refusing to seek medical treatment.

in this field you regularly run into people who (a) are themselves perfectly normal left-libs politically, whose biggest issue is USAID and "we should not build the Bad Robot" and who (b) have an ironclad alliance whose politics are "school shooter" and "we should immediately build the Bad Robot"

if someone expresses openness to receiving criticism on a piece of their writing and so you go and paste it into chatgpt and then paste chatgpt's response into their replies, you have misunderstood what they were expressing openness to

The modern research ecosystem of online tools and communities is controlled by for-profit companies. But we think that researchers should be the priority - not the product. So, we're announcing Aster ID: not-for-profit Atmosphere account hosting for researchers.

furthermore i think we need an atmosphere onboarding consortium that has a pool of cute novelty domains + good embeddable signup flows for other sites + SSO from google/fb/whatever to create your account

Then from there you get them on a Partiful clone so they want to invite a lot of people who aren't already on-proto.

I think the most obvious "get people to sign up on atproto" is a linktree that is actually good and they don't even know it's a PDS.

Are Linux and Open Source Un-American?
Community
by Steve Coe
on February 21, 2001

Jim Allchin, Microsoft Windows operating system chief, was quoted in an article about open source last week. I advise any Linux user to go and read it if you haven't already, as it's great comedy material.

According to the hive mind of Microsoft, open source should be made illegal. There's no way around it, this is the bottom line. Want to write your own code and release it into the community? Congratulations, come with us Sir/Madam, we have this nice little grey room for you. Don't worry about the bars on the windows, they are there for our protection in case you somehow manage to write a graphics viewer or a Perl script to terrorize the world.

Ordinarily, a mere underling like Mr. Allchin wouldn't be taken too seriously, but Microsoft speaks with one voice, and we all know who he is channeling.

As a member of the Linux and Open Source communities, I am appalled and outraged by his comments and wish to respond. The article shows Microsoft is scared. Very scared. So, will they build a better product? Nah, to hell with it, they'll just get the government to outlaw the competition.

Byron and it's not even close

divided on whether it is good or bad that the hat grows with the pet

the fix is to manually update Claude via CLI, copy its Claude SDK and overwrite VSCode's downloaded one, generate a Claude OAuth token and set it on the env, relaunch VSCode, and then pin the Claude-provided models because the fallback Copilot ones still show up prioritized even once logged in...

1. the Claude extension sets up auth/sessions/chat for you 2. the VSCode agents window _does not use this_ a. it ships its own, pinned, outdated claude SDK b. it doesn't use the extension's auth c. it does offer "Claude", but this actually is only a filter to _Copilot_ Claude offerings

pretty heavy user of the VSCode agents window but it's both new and glitchy. my sessions haven't been showing up properly on it it turns out this is because of a series of bullshit:

they've been adding random shit to the vscode agents window and as far as i can tell there is no size limit to how much you can Grow your pet.

the AI hype cycle is currently at "do work for free, no info on salary until after they successfully raise, and any promise should not be interpreted as a promise" i think there's probably a lot of companies essentially doing this for free labor/tokens

Vanamonde is currently bootstrapped and operating before Seed financing. Salary compensation begins after the company secures funding. At that stage, founding engineers will transition into paid full-time roles, and eligible founding members may enter formal equity discussions and agreements subject to company approval and applicable legal terms.
Any equity range or discussion during the recruitment process is indicative only and does not constitute a grant, promise, or verbal commitment.

I really like this chart because it reads like a made up sci fi tech tree but actually these are mostly things one could do with enough science and engineering budget. Someone read a lot of original sources and made a bunch of spreadsheets and thought about this for long hours.
