I have no issues with gun ownership as a lefty.
The 2nd amendment however was created before the legal proliferation of states rights and codified bureaucracy (both of which are far more effective at combatting fascism and tyranny than guns could ever be).
I support broad gun ownership because it is the final safeguard. But I don’t believe that in a modern society, the 2nd amendment should be used to justify unfettered access to guns for everyone.
That being said, guns are simple machines, and it’s foolish to regulate their form. But regulation and legality is something for States to decide, not for the federal government to dictate.
English
It is curious that those on the left—the alleged advocates of democracy—are not the more ardent supporters of gun ownership and the Second Amendment.
The pro-social, pro-civilizational purpose of guns is, after all, equality.
Guns' most distinct virtue is not the ability to go hunting on the weekends, nor even for use in home defense. Rather, their most distinct virtue is in the egalitarian expression of power, arguably *the* foundational prerequisite for democracy.
Tyranny or fascism of any kind is most difficult among a well-armed populace. This point is indisputable.
Thus, any group that advocates highly centralized, hierarchical power, should oppose broad gun ownership.
And any group that advocates highly decentralized, democratic power, should so sanctify it.
What are we to make of the modern Left, then? Where is their advocacy of egalitarianism on the very policy which most enables it?

Dear @PancakeSwap. Looks like you copied our code without asking. It is violation of its license. Not only it is illegal: historically it showed to be unwise for those who did it this way in other regards.
In any case. If you want to enjoy using stableswap without legal problems and to borrow some of our expertise to keep users SAFU - you still can contact us for licensing and collaboration.

Why is nobody talking about this?!
Yesterday, Mastercard revealed that they are partnering with Google to create “Verifiable Intent” which advances agentic commerce (including the use of x402):
• AI agents acting autonomously on purchases creates a new problem: no visible moment of human confirmation like tapping a card
• Mastercard + Google have co-developed Verifiable Intent; a cryptographic, tamper-resistant record linking consumer identity, their instructions, and the resulting transaction
• All parties (consumer, merchant, issuer) can verify what was authorized; disputes have a clear audit trail instead of guesswork
• Uses Selective Disclosure; only minimum necessary data shared, only when needed; privacy-preserving by design
• Built on open standards (FIDO, EMVCo, IETF, W3C); protocol-agnostic and designed to work across wallets, platforms, and payment networks
• Spec is being open-sourced at verifiableintent-dev; integration into Mastercard Agent Pay APIs coming soon
• Partners on board: Adyen, Fiserv, Worldpay, IBM, Checkout-com, Basis Theory
This is my favourite part:
• It complements x402; Mastercard is staking out the authorization/identity layer of agentic commerce; x402 handles payment execution; together they sketch out the emerging agentic payments stack
X402 is fast becoming THE missing agentic payments link to enable trillions of micropayments across billions of agents
If you’re wanting more information on x402 (the internet payment standard that’s been missing for 30 years!) follow @KhalaResearch - we have an in depth article going live in the next week!

If anyone is interested in testing out and giving feedback on our City/Sync Pilot Demo, this Sunday (10am-1pm PST) I will be in the @city_sync_ Discord Server providing a demonstration.
Thanks again!

People don’t understand the landscape. The houseless literally migrate to SF for services, because others refuse to provide adequate/any support.
This imbalance of support compounds problems. If surrounding cities were able to facilitate greater support, the problem becomes distributed and better managed.
NIMBY policies are to blame for this.
In a way, cutting Funding drastically in SF would be better long-term as it would force those free-rider communities to act. Right now, they know SF is carrying the burden, and are happy to see it.

If you incentivize something, you get more of it. *Having* a disability, in and of itself, is obviously bad. *Saying* you have one is beneficial.
Same with the SF homelessness problem. Gee, why does the city that’s most accommodating to the homeless have so many homeless?

Here is a very normal chart that we shouldn't debate or scrutinize in any way.

Elon has been bashing these companies for months, only to result in this. xAI is so far behind they’ll do anything.
I Bet nothing changes. OpenAI isn’t ready for a military style rollout, and they aren’t going to sacrifice the actual military advantages Anthropic already provides.
It’s all just corruption theater requested by a friend of the administration.

This is so far right you may have closed the loop on Horseshoe Theory.
Absolute insane statements from clout chasers are getting so tiresome.

@_oddfox_ Markets exist at the pleasure of the government. Giving Claude first refusal on how the US Government may wage war is not acceptable. National security overrides their selfish little interests.
English
I don’t care what anyone thinks about my project.
Governments already carry a TON of risk. We need to unburden them from this through a transitory framework like City/Sync. Some formulation of #dPANs are the future.

@natesuits We built everything around jobs and now the ground is shifting fast, feels like we should be redesigning the system not just patching it.
English
We tied survival to employment.
We tied healthcare to employment.
We tied social identity to employment.
We tied self-worth to employment.
Now we are rapidly automating employment.
I'm telling you we aren't ready for this. UBI, if you could ever logically fund it, wouldn't be enough to mitigate the societal impacts of what we are currently witnessing.
We need to build alternatives. Now.
English
@martinvars @chamath economic waste = the wages enabling survival and societal cohesion....so cool.
English
@chamath The brutal truth: these aren't companies, they're arbitrage opportunities that got incorporated. The moment AI agents can negotiate directly with cloud providers and DNS registrars, every middleman becomes economic waste. We're watching disintermediation at terminal velocity.
English
It should be obvious to anyone that reads the list below that many of these companies will not survive as companies in a world of AI and Agents.
These are services.
Some more useful than others. But none of them control any capability or rails that couldn’t be negotiated/built (from open source or otherwise) by an agent for much cheaper. The alternatives will come with no capex, no OpEx, no rent seeking etc etc.
The cost advantages of these things being rebuilt as primitives and repriced so it’s principally available to other agents and AI is pretty obvious.

- Claude for coding. - Supabase for backend. - Vercel for deploying. - Namecheap for domain. - Stripe for payments. - GitHub for version control. - Resend for emails. - Clerk for auth. - Cloudflare for DNS. - PostHog for analytics. - Sentry for error tracking. - Upstash for Redis. - Pinecone for vector DB. You can literally ship a startup from your bedroom now. It’s not that deep bro.

I'm not aware of any tbh. Joe has a good pulse on this.
I can imagine some application of AI probably has a role in predictive sensing. Though, its highly likely the more predictive sensing processes you incorporate, the slower you'll move.
The retrospective sensing is what fascinates me most. I can imagine setting boundaries/thresholds for decisions that trigger a response to prevent undesired outcomes, and having a decision space already scoped in order to change course.
The details and documentation of this type of activity also generates more legitimacy. Yes, we failed, but this is what we learned, and this was our response, and this was the outcome.
I think it would also be cool to create a feedback loop that embeds those learnings back into the predictive sensing process.
English
@DisruptionJoe @natesuits Quite interesting concept, I wonder how the application of such a sensing system could take place… any real world applications already? @natesuits @DisruptionJoe
