Forgiveness may be withheld, and justly so. But doing so out of bitterness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other guy to die. Commit it to God, then pursue justice, love mercy, and walk humbly.

I know no one wants to hear this right now, but grace and forgiveness are not incompatible with responsibility and justice. View quoted note →

I've been writing markdown via claude for two solid days without writing a single line of code. Am I finally doing context engineering right?

We normally think of technology as governing space: instant communication erases distances, extends control, perfects administration. We should think more, following Innis and Carey, of the governance of time: techniques for developing culture, memory, and purpose. Technology cannot, by definition, be a driving factor in this work, because its role is to promote efficiency. In order to introduce friction between disparate groups, build shared symbols, and cultivate personal and community identity, we must resort to a different set of tools: oral storytelling, shared rituals, and politics. This investment in a local, non-fungible group identity can in turn insulate us from the negative externalities of technological scale, and build institutions for better government of those same technologies.

Embodying llms will not perfect their intelligence. A body does not imply a personal history, purpose, relationships, or virtue. These are all types of embodiment, which (like physical presence) can only be contrived in the context of artificial intelligences. @Gigi

Flotilla 1.9.0 is out — this release comes with a more gooey interface, a content library, a user directory, and many bugfixes and performance improvements. The biggest feature though is the new in-app hosting panel. If you host a relay with Coracle Hosting, you'll be able to manage it from within Flotilla — and create new relays from within the app itself (web only for now). Other changes: * Fix nav safe are inset, qr code reactivity * Performance optimizations for chat rooms * Add hosting platform * Add room invite links * Improve audio/video calls * Bugfixes and UI refinements * Fix push notification icon * Swap datepicker implementations * Fix popover clipping * Add member directory page * Add pinboards and content library * Improve white-labeled support * Add full profile page at /people/[npub] * Add theming support, improve app design

My 16k LOC library change has allowed me to remove 1200 LOC from my app #winning
