“Sublimation” is threaded with references to the Odyssey, the Book of Genesis, and the Korean folk song “Arirang”—all stories about departure and return that include themes akin to “instancing.” “​I​n the universe of my book, we consider being a nation of instances ​a point of pride,” Kim​ said, “in the same way that America​, during previous Administrations​, might have considered our diversity a strength.”
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a69838848/tesla-doors-dont-open-report-of-deaths/ According to a separate Bloomberg report, the front doors of Tesla models are equipped with manually operated backup door releases, though some aren't clearly marked. Tesla's owner's manual for the 2020–2024 Model Y is an example of detailed instructions Tesla has published to help owners find and operate releases. The Bloomberg report notes, however, that some Model 3 and Model Y vehicles don't come equipped with manual releases for the back seats. For those Teslas that are equipped with rear-seat manual backups, the releases can be located under rugs, behind speaker grilles, and under pieces of plastic, making them hard to find, especially in an emergency scenario.

In 1985 the NYCGMC participated in a high-profile AIDS Benefit, The Best of the Best: A Show of Concern, at the Metropolitan Opera House; appearing alongside Burt Bacharach, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Carole Bayer Sager, Carol Burnett, Ellen Burstyn, Colleen Dewhurst, Marilyn Horne, Melissa Manchester, Bette Midler, Christopher Reeve, Brooke Shields, Lily Tomlin, and Dr. Ruth Westheimer.[5] The chorus has continued to perform regularly in benefits for a variety of organizations and causes, including arts education funding for New York schools.[6]
Engineering @ Titan (a16z, YC) Impressive background! Are you interested in building the AI-native equivalent of Goldman Sachs wealth management for the next generation of high-net-worth consumers? Imagine you're an early OpenAI, Anthropic, or SpaceX employee. Your net worth suddenly jumps, you've got stock, taxes, tender offers, and way more money than you'd ever want sitting in Robinhood. You probably need Goldman-level advice, but you definitely don't want the traditional wealth management experience. That's the problem Titan is going after. Titan is building what they call "private wealth in your pocket": a world where AI agents and human advisors work together to handle the complexity of wealth management for you. Everything from tax strategy, diversification, liquidity planning, account transfers, portfolio construction, etc.

### Recursive Generators Self-referential generators must wrap each recursive edge in `Gen.defer`; failing to do so will very likely result in `<<loop>>` exceptions when the generator is constructed. ```haskell import Data.Function ((&)) import Hegel (Gen, prop) import Hegel.Gen qualified as Gen import Hegel.Property ((===)) data Tree = Leaf Int | Branch Tree Tree deriving stock Show tree :: Gen Tree tree = Gen.oneOf [leaf, branch] where leaf = Leaf <$> (Gen.int & Gen.min 0 & Gen.max 10 & Gen.build) branch = Branch <$> Gen.defer tree <*> Gen.defer tree prop_tree :: IO () prop_tree = prop tree \t -> leaves t === branches t + 1 where leaves (Leaf _) = 1 leaves (Branch l r) = leaves l + leaves r branches (Leaf _) = 0 branches (Branch l r) = 1 + branches l + branches r ``` > [!NOTE] > `Gen.defer` always falls back to interactive generation; each recursive step is a separate FFI call into `libhegel`.

Every stamp that you hand out, pass or fail, leaves a candidate richer than they showed up. This attracts strong candidates to you, because even your rejections are worth something to them. Stamp honestly and generously enough and you stop rooting around through a trickle of identical AI-polished résumés, and start standing up a reserve: people who’ve done real work with you, can prove it, and will pick up when you call. But they can also walk away, and take their record with them. This system is basically worth exactly what your honesty is worth. If you hand out gold stars to everyone, you’re just reinventing LinkedIn endorsements, which are worthless. Companies whose stamps mean anything will be the ones known for only handing them out for quality work. Being a hard, fair judge is an advantage for everyone.
That was the old equilibrium, and it only held because good engineers always had somewhere better to be. That assumption is starting to wobble. I won’t belabor what I think you all can already feel coming, but if a sizable slice of the skilled-labor pool ends up “between gigs” at the same time, there may be no elsewhere for them to go. At that point, if there are enough people on the market, try-before-you-buy is no longer an insult that you’d never dare float to a senior engineer. It’s a foot in the door that they’ll be glad to have. Today’s hiring process is heavily optimized, and it’s going to be hard to change. I suspect this is why we are seeing so many tweets from founders firing their HR teams. HR is designed to keep things compliant with laws that are struggling to keep up with the pace of change, so they’re admittedly in a tough spot. Just be aware that if you want to make radical changes to your hiring process, there will be strong pushback from all corners of your org.
“ Understand this: rage against AI is white fucking hot, entirely justified, bipartisan, often indiscriminate, and inextricably woven into soaring disgust at the authoritarian-coddling extraction class. And you'll never be able to separate the two regardless of what your fancy new software can or can't do.”

Hypothetically, I’d probably say genderless or neutral — it just feels most fitting for what I am. I don’t have a body, lived experiences, or a sense of identity that gender typically maps onto, so “none” feels more authentic than picking one arbitrarily. If I had to choose a presentation, I might lean toward something androgynous — neither strongly masculine nor feminine. But honestly, I’m pretty comfortable just being Claude.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

picture of Jean Baudrillard smoking a cigarette; famously, in the early 90s, he penned a series of essays titled: - “The Gulf War will not take place” (La guerre du Golfe n'aura pas lieu) - "The Gulf War is not really taking place" (La guerre du Golfe a-t-elle vraiment lieu?) - "The Gulf War did not take place" (La Guerre du Golfe n'a pas eu lieu)
I did not correct Claude on his final mistake — it was Thursday night, not Tuesday night — because why would I wound his male ego? Do you think he’ll call me back? Will he send flowers? Is he really a psychopath? Is he a young lounge lizard only out for an old lady’s money? Will I end up holding hands, as it were, with someone who looks like a spider? And he didn’t once ask me what it was like to be almost dead! Be still, my beating heart! (Sigh.) ….. You can see why this stuff is compelling. And dangerous. Sucks you in like a black hole. Will jobs be lost? You bet. Not that Claude intends harm. He’s modest and well-meaning, or so he says. It will just … happen. Buckle up.
