"America’s radical fringe is real, and it believes political violence works...Antifa activists carefully calibrate their violence, for example by using frozen water bottles as projectiles; if arrested, they can claim they carried no weapons." wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

@Witchwatch99 I'm sure @elonmusk can arrange for this to happen automatically as part of the translation. Automatic conversion to appropriate units for all along with language translation.

🇯🇵On the Background of the Emergence of This Very Peculiar “Japanese Sense of Values”
Japan is an island nation that, over its long history, has formed a relatively homogeneous society. A polytheistic animism runs deep, and the belief that spirits dwell in all things in nature lies at the foundation of everyday aesthetics and patterns of behavior. Moreover, Japanese people have long placed greater importance on the harmony of society as a whole and on “reading the air” than on strong personal assertion, regarding the avoidance of causing trouble to others as one of the highest virtues.
For this reason, the sense of rejection toward those who deliberately break rules or disrupt the unspoken understanding of the community can at times be intense. This is arguably one of the underlying reasons for the strong aversion many Japanese feel toward illegal immigration.
In many countries around the world, “the individual” is thought to exist first, with “society” then being constructed upon the agreements and rights of those individuals. In Japan, by contrast, the “world” (seken) and the order of the community already exist prior to the will of the individual. This distinctive sensibility has quietly taken shape amid the geographical conditions of an island nation, a long history of homogenization, and a spiritual climate in which Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucianism have become intricately interwoven.
For example, in a Japanese Starbucks, one can leave a wallet on the table while going to the restroom and it will almost certainly remain untouched. This is evidence that an intangible order — the “society that is watching” — functions with considerable power, taking precedence over individual desire. Even when many Japanese find themselves in financial hardship, the fact that theft remains extremely rare stems from this “invisible justice” having taken deep root within people’s inner lives.
Its influence extends far beyond crime prevention; it is also clearly visible in the film industry.
One reason Japanese distributors deliberately delay a film’s release in Japan by a beat after its U.S. opening is to be able to use the catchphrase “No. 1 in America.” Rather than going to see “the movie they want to see,” Japanese audiences still tend strongly to go see “the movie they are supposed to see.” This is one manifestation of the Japanese collective fantasy — a sensitivity to “the rightness endorsed by society.”
Even to me, as a Japanese person, these values sometimes appear very strange.
Nevertheless, I love this Japan — peculiar and at times even suffocating as it is — from the bottom of my heart.

@pirooooon3 It's just too much. With what happened with Ruby. We don't know where Matz and Nobu are anymore. We are thankful. And grateful.

@raw_works Cool idea but way too dangerous. You'll get hit by the first waves if you do this.

over the last 2 days, we've stumbled upon a really powerful coding agent interaction pattern: git notes as an underground information network.
git notes are ubiquitous (part of git) and "invisible" (github chose not to display them).
this presents a very interesting communication channel for agents, who can now include rich details and discussions about the code without cluttering up the "visible" layer of the repo.
"mycelium" is my tool to make these interactions easier.
mycelium is just git & bash - it works with any agent in any git repo.
link below. still wrapping my head around the consequences of this, and very curious to hear your thoughts!
p.s. - this is the foundation of some very cool tools i'm collaborating with @irl_danB on for @OpenProseVM

@BenjaminDEKR It takes an expert to know what is significant or not still. And for the major breakthroughs the AI can't do it alone: the expert has to guide it. The cyborg combination is what is superhuman math now.

What are some concrete examples of physics and chemistry breakthroughs **clearly** solved by AI so far?
Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandis
If AI can now solve math, discover physics and chemistry breakthroughs faster than human PhDs, why are we still training humans to be physicists? Serious question. Should education shift from 'learn to do X' to 'learn to direct AI doing X'? The wrong direction costs a generation their careers.
