An interesting subplot to the Clayton by-election result. Just why didn’t Nigel Farage attend? His comments seem to indicate embarrassment “I'm damned if I'm going to stand on a stage … and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies” 1/2

The loser has more in common with the winner than with the person sitting on the sidelines. The winner and the loser each had the courage to try. Both risked embarrassment. Both were willing to face uncertainty. Both were stubborn enough to continue. Success is endurance in disguise. It belongs to the person who can absorb the losses without absorbing the identity of "loser." It's the courage to start — and to stick with it — that is the real separator. Results tend to find the person who stays in the game. The sidelines are safe, but sterile. Nothing grows there. Related

Our computers represent tiny tiny numbers in a form called 'subnormal'. They have a reputation for causing performance problems... but my results indicate that on recent processor architectures, they may only cause a problem for Intel. Related

Worth noting this works with any model, any gateway. No fancy server-side routing. Just harnessing (no pun intended) the model’s intelligence and ability to orchestrate. Quoting @fazxes fx v0.0.9 Use a frontier model to steer, then hand implementation to a fast workhorse. • Give each subagent its own model and reasoning effort • Subagents keep working while you steer • Send feedback to subagents mid-task • Switch models with Ctrl+P without losing your draft or images • New convers… Related

As Carl Jung put it, "Man needs difficulties. They are necessary for health." Yet most people instinctually avoid pain. This is true whether we are talking about building the body (e.g., weight lifting) or the mind (e.g., frustration, mental struggle, embarrassment, shame)--and especially true when people confront the harsh reality of their own imperfections. #principleoftheday Related

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@clayton/117175171619298911 It's OK. This feature is awesome, and one I use heavily. Every social network needs a few mutes here and there. Nobody inherently deserves anyone’s attention. If someone replies in a way that makes me think, "I'd rather not hear from this person again,” I just mute forever. No aggressive block, no report or feedback, no way for them to know. It's not meant to send a message, get revenge, or influence anyone else — just tailor my feed for me. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
