Prayers offered here in the opening & closing of our Rosary thread are optional. Use as many or as few as you like. Skip around, even skip them altogether. It’s up to you. This is just one of the many ways to pray the Rosary.
For years I’ve shared predictions about how technology would reshape our world. We’re still early in that journey, but we’re getting closer every year.
Here’s a look back at some of my predictions and the recent progress moving toward them:
In 2019, I predicted AI will play a big role in entertainment and design - music and entertainment will be plentiful and personalized for you and your mood.
Today: Xania Monet, an entirely AI-generated R&B artist, just became the first AI act ever to reach a Billboard radio chart with “How Was I Supposed to Know?”
In 2018, I predicted AI will, inevitably, change the structure of our society and we became the first VC investor in @OpenAI.
Today: ChatGPT has hundreds of millions of weekly active users. Few technologies - even the mobile phone, the web, or social networks - have scaled to this level of global usage as fast as OpenAI. Restructuring the nature of work and society is clearly visible
✝️Bäumler's Nietzsche. The only acceptable form of Nietzsche for the true Nationalist race realist.
This thread shares excerpts from Alfred Bäumler's "Nietzsche and National Socialism" from 1937. Alfred Bäumler was the main man tasked with adapting Nietzsche's writings to the NS worldview.
This would be part of THE semi-"official" viewpoint on Nietzsche from the Third Reich, and it gives us a clearer picture of how vastly different the "Nazis" would have viewed him 90 years ago. I will compare and contrast this Nietzsche with the modern left wing "Heathen revisionist" neo pagan version that treats his writings as a bludgeon against European identity.
This Post will outline 5 Sections from the piece with a subtitles so I can then use those subtitles to refer to the passages at the end of the thread with my comments.
🟥1. Christians are Superior.
⬜️2. Jesus Christ is not of the World.
⬛️3. Christ heightened responsibility, as should we.
🟨4. Will to Power as a Blueprint for the NSDAP.
🟦5. Anti-Clerical, NOT anti-Christian.
Bäumler begins by comparing Nietzsche critique of European secularism and Nihilism, to Hitler's challenge of the Weimar decay in the 1920's. He then begins to discuss Christianity in depth:
🟥1. Christians are Superior:
"Beyond this suffocating ideology stands Nietzsche’s stark declaration: "God is dead." This statement has often been understood only as a historical observation—that faith in God has disappeared, that he no longer holds power over men’s lives. Nietzsche did not struggle against the Christian God, nor was he shaken by his death. He did not deny that some Christians still remained. In fact, he regarded them with a certain respect, seeing in them a superior type of person compared to the decadent artists and intellectuals of his time. He was entirely free from the resentment of those who fight against religion only to liberate themselves from its burden.
For Nietzsche, knowledge of the death of the Christian God was not a doctrine or a program but the recognition of an epochal transformation. He did not seek the death of the Christian God but bore witness to the decline of faith in him. What had come to an end was not merely a theology but an entire world order. It was the close of the Middle Ages in Europe."
⬜️2. Jesus Christ is not of the World:
Nietzsche’s critique of Christianity is rooted in the historical reality he experienced first hand. He perceives a striking paradox: as faith in God declines, a self-sustaining moralism rises to take its place. For him, this is the defining feature of the bourgeois condition, a morality that has been severed from religion.
The substance of this morality largely reflects what was once known as Christian ethics, yet it is now detached from its original foundation. The transition from Christian faith to secular moralism appears seamless, but Nietzsche exposes the concealed rupture beneath the surface.
Modern thought assumes that morality can be preserved without its religious foundation, but this inevitably leads to nihilism. The Christian-moral God is no longer tenable, leaving modern man facing atheism, as if no other form of divinity were conceivable. What has truly been overcome is not God as such, but only the moral God.
Nietzsche further states that Christianity has become something wholly different from what its founder envisioned and desired. What the Church proclaims as Christianity is, in reality, the negation of its original essence. From the very beginning, what is considered Christian in the ecclesiastical sense has been anti-Christian—simple facts and persons substituted for symbols, mere stories in place of eternal truths, empty rites, formulas, and dogmas instead of a practice of life. The true Christian, in Nietzsche’s view, is utterly indifferent to dogma, worship, priesthood, the Church, and theology.
Nietzsche considers it an unparalleled fraud that these institutions of decadence, the Church and its dogmatic faith, continue to claim the sacred name of Christianity. He poses the ultimate question: what did Christ reject? Everything that is today called Christian. These words would undoubtedly have been affirmed by that great Protestant of the North, Kierkegaard.
🚨 CLAUDE CODE KURUCUSU @bcherny EFSANE KULLANIM TAKTİKLERİ VERDİ - MASTERCLASS! 🚨
Claude Code'un yaratıcısı Boris, kendi aracını nasıl kullandığını ve verimliliğini nasıl 10x artırdığını 13 adımda açıkladı.
Sıradan bir "AI coding" deneyimi değil; tam bir otomasyon ve mühendislik dersi.
İşte Boris'in kişisel setup'ı ve tüm detaylar 👇 🧵
Boris tek bir pencereyle yetinmiyor. Terminalde 5 ayrı Claude sekmesi çalıştırıyor ve hangisinin girişe ihtiyacı olduğunu bildirimlerle takip ediyor.
Bitti mi? Hayır. Web tarafında (claude.ai) da 5-10 oturum açık. Terminalden web'e görev paslıyor (& ile) veya telefondan başlatıp bilgisayarda devam ediyor.
Tam bir multitasking canavarı. 👹
3️⃣ Hız Değil, Zeka Önemli: Opus 4.5
"Sonnet daha hızlı değil mi?" demeyin. Boris her şey için Opus 4.5 with thinking kullanıyor.
Neden? Daha yavaş olsa da daha az yönlendirme gerektiriyor, araç kullanımı daha iyi ve tek seferde doğruyu bulma oranı çok yüksek. Günün sonunda "daha hızlı" bitiriyor. 🐢>🐇
_One way to increase Area spectral efficiency is lowering constellation altitude.
That way comes at two costs: The number of 🛰️satellites required on orbit increases and their orbital dwell ⏳time decreases both affecting the replenish rate 🛠️adversely as:

Let’s do a SpaceMob thing and look at this from first principles.
A satellite has a field of view. FoV.
That Field of View projects a footprint on earth.
The footprint increases with angle of the field of view and increases with altitude.
2/
Within this field of view the satellite creates beams.
They also have an angle called beamwidth and a footprint called beamcell.
There are many of these beams and beamcells within the satellite footprint.
When the new CBS Evening News kicks off on Monday, we promise to live by these five simple principles – from our very first show on the road, to our first broadcast on the new set in New York, and every one after that.
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.
1/ I run 5 Claudes in parallel in my terminal. I number my tabs 1-5, and use system notifications to know when a Claude needs input code.claude.com/docs/en/termin…
2/ I also run 5-10 Claudes on claude.ai/code, in parallel with my local Claudes. As I code in my terminal, I will often hand off local sessions to web (using &), or manually kick off sessions in Chrome, and sometimes I will --teleport back and forth. I also start a few sessions from my phone (from the Claude iOS app) every morning and throughout the day, and check in on them later.
Cuando Peter Jackson explicaba a Christopher Lee cómo debía gritar al ser apuñalado por la espalda durante el rodaje de "El Señor de los Anillos", Lee le miró muy serio y le dijo: "¿Sabes qué sonido hace realmente un hombre cuando le apuñalan? Porque yo sí". Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽
Drácula, Saruman, Conde Dooku. Conocemos sus papeles icónicos, pero su vida real deja a sus personajes de ficción en ridículo. Fue espía, cazador de nazis, cantante de Heavy Metal y primo de James Bond. Esta es la vida de Christopher Lee, el hombre más interesante del mundo.
Nació en 1922 en una familia noble y su vida fue extraña desde el principio. Con 17 años, estuvo presente en la última ejecución pública con guillotina en Francia, donde vio caer la cabeza del asesino Eugen Weidmann. Quizá ahí nació su fascinación por la muerte y la oscuridad.
Meet the real godfather of the Community Relations Service--
New York power broker and fixer Theodore Kheel, chairman of Edmond Safra’s Republic National Bank, used by the Russian mafia and the Medellin drug cartel, scrubbed from history due to his unsavory business dealings.
Kheel worked on the provision for CRS together with LBJ and Benjamin V. Cohen. In fact, according to LBJ's White House telephone recordings, the blueprint for the new conciliation service was to be based directly on Kheel’s labor-mediation practices.
Ted Kheel was colleague and contact of Title X's author, Arthur Goldberg, a fellow avid New Dealer, a close friend of Johnson’s, a fixer for Kennedy, considered New York’s “most prominent industrial peacemaker,” and known as one of the city’s most powerful men in the 1960s.

The court says California's Mulford Act is "tainted with racial animus."
"Reliance on such racially odious laws in this case is both conceptually suspect and inconsistent with a proper application of Bruen."

1/ Das französische Nuklear-Modell: Lehren aus der Ära Boiteux für die globale Energiewende der Zukunft
Teil 1: Die Fundamente des Erfolgs
Einleitung zu Teil 1
Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs stand Frankreich vor einer fundamentalen strategischen Herausforderung: die Sicherung seiner Energiezukunft in einem Land ohne nennenswerte Vorkommen an Kohle oder Öl. Diese geografische Gegebenheit schuf einen tief verwurzelten nationalen Imperativ, Energieunabhängigkeit zu erlangen und die technologische Souveränität wiederherzustellen. Die Gründung der Atomenergiekommission (CEA) im Jahr 1945 war der erste Schritt auf diesem Weg, der aus einem Gefühl der nationalen Demütigung und dem Wunsch nach Wiederherstellung der "Grandeur" Frankreichs geboren wurde. Dieser "Imperativ des Augenblicks" – vergleichbar mit dem Druck des Schiffbaus in Kriegszeiten – legte den Grundstein für eine energiepolitische Vision, die Jahrzehnte später in einer beispiellosen nuklearen Expansion münden sollte.
Die Reaktion auf die Krise: Der Mesmer-Plan von 1974
Der Wendepunkt kam mit der Ölkrise von 1973. Der plötzliche Schock des OPEC-Embargos vervierfachte die Ölpreise und offenbarte auf dramatische Weise die Verwundbarkeit der französischen Wirtschaft, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt zu 67 % von importiertem Öl abhängig war. In dieser existenziellen Krise reagierte die französische Regierung nicht mit Zögern, sondern mit außergewöhnlicher Entschlossenheit. Im März 1974 wurde der Mesmer-Plan ins Leben gerufen – eine politische Entscheidung, die hinter verschlossenen Türen von einer kleinen Gruppe von Technokraten getroffen wurde, ohne parlamentarische Debatte. Die Direktive war unmissverständlich und radikal: eine "All-Nuclear"-Strategie. Das Ziel war, den Anteil der Kernenergie an der Stromerzeugung von damals 8 % auf über 70 % bis 1985 zu steigern. Nur wenige Tage nach Beginn der Krise erhielt Marcel Boiteux, der Leiter des staatlichen Energieversorgers Électricité de France (EDF), einen Anruf aus dem Büro des Premierministers mit einer einfachen Frage: Wie viele Reaktoren kann Frankreich pro Jahr bauen? Die Antwort – fünf bis sechs – wurde zur Grundlage eines der ehrgeizigsten Infrastrukturprojekte der Weltgeschichte.
2/ Die Vision von Marcel Boiteux: Mehr als nur Reaktoren
Im Zentrum dieses Vorhabens stand Marcel Boiteux, eine Figur, die das konventionelle Bild eines Industriellenführers sprengte. Boiteux war kein Ingenieur, sondern ein brillanter Ökonom. Sein Ziel war nicht nur der Bau von Kraftwerken, sondern die Erschaffung eines Energiesystems zum "Nutzen der Menschen".
Seine Vision basierte auf der Theorie der Grenzkostenpreisbildung. Diese Doktrin hielt fest, dass Strom "so billig wie möglich, aber nicht billiger" bereitgestellt werden sollte, um sicherzustellen, dass der Preis die tatsächlichen Kosten für die Erzeugung der nächsten Stromeinheit widerspiegelt.
In seinen Memoiren verglich er dies mit der Holzindustrie: Der Preis für unbehandelte Baumstämme kann niemals derselbe sein wie der für präzise gesägte und gehobelte Bretter, die zum Baumarkt transportiert werden. Ebenso hat Strom zu verschiedenen Zeiten und an verschiedenen Orten im Netz unterschiedliche Kosten. Diese ökonomische Disziplin stellte sicher, dass Ressourcen effizient genutzt und unrentable Verwendungen vermieden wurden, was letztlich der gesamten Gesellschaft zugutekam.
3/ Die "Krieg der Systeme"-Entscheidung: Pragmatismus vor Nationalstolz
Eine der ersten und wichtigsten Entscheidungen unter der Ägide von EDF war die Wahl der Reaktortechnologie. Die CEA hatte ein heimisches Gas-Graphit-Reaktordesign (UNGG) entwickelt, das als Symbol nationaler Ingenieurskunst galt. Doch die EDF-Ingenieure erkannten früh, dass dieses Design "brillant, aber zu kompliziert und zu teuer" war.
Stattdessen traf man eine pragmatische, wenn auch politisch heikle Entscheidung: die Lizenzierung des amerikanischen Druckwasserreaktor-Designs (PWR) von Westinghouse. Dieser Schritt stellte einen Wendepunkt in der französischen Industriepolitik dar, an dem das nachkriegs-gaullistische Ideal der technologischen Autarkie bewusst dem wirtschaftlichen Pragmatismus untergeordnet wurde, der für eine schnelle und groß angelegte Umsetzung erforderlich war.
Die PWR-Technologie war erprobt, skalierbar und versprach niedrigere Kosten – eine Wahl, die den Erfolg des Programms definieren sollte.
Serhii ‘Shyshka’ Shyshkovskyi first defended Ukraine in 2014, then again when the full-scale invasion began. His greatest dream in life was to have a daughter, however he did not live to raise his little Polina. On June 12, 2025, Serhii was killed while carrying out a combat mission in the Kharkiv region 🧵
Former US ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor: Russian claims of Ukrainian attacks fit a long pattern of lies. Moscow denied its troops in Crimea, then admitted it.
Putin and Lavrov denied plans to invade in 2022 — then did. This is how Russia operates to derail talks. 1/
Taylor: A major Russian attack on Ukrainian cities would confirm Moscow is not serious about peace. Putin wants Ukraine to capitulate, not negotiate.
The US should keep strengthening Ukraine’s defenses with Europe and pressure Putin to stop the war and killing. 2/
Taylor: Russia is grinding forward around Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk, making small gains at enormous cost.
Taking those regions would take months or longer. The US and allies can help stop that advance by providing Ukraine with weapons. 3/
