Vous croyez que la monarchie médiévale fut un long fleuve tranquille ? Que le roi régnait toujours en maître absolu ?
Laissez-moi vous résumer l’incroyable chaos du XIVe siècle, composé du début de la Guerre de Cent Ans et d’une vraie Révolution française ⤵️⚔️

I : Octogone => Édouard III vs Philippe VI 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚔️🇫🇷

Au milieu du XIVe siècle, la France est prospère, et attire l’ambition d’Édouard III, roi d’Angleterre.
À l’époque, la Guyenne est anglaise, la Navarre et d’autres régions « actuelles » ne sont pas soumises au roi de France :

D’un point de vue juridique, le mal est profond : le dernier capétien direct, Charles IV le Bel (⬇️), est mort sans héritier mâle en 1328 ; la couronne devrait revenir au roi d’Angleterre, Édouard III, neveu de feu Philippe le Bel par sa mère Isabelle (fille de Ph. Le Bel).

The moral circles study gave two versions of its circle task:

- One with a limited number of moral units, and thus moral allocation was zero-sum

- One where participants had unlimited moral units to distribute however they liked

Replot thread🧵

Everyone, zero-sum first.

The authors provided values on concern for humans versus nonhumans, and the results had to be scaled to be proportional.

Each allocation proportion is treated as a radial coordinate. To give it spread, we assign an angular coordinate θ = π/4 to tilt it like the original.

Cons:

To get some space on this, we add 10 degrees of Gaussian spread to give the cloud thickness.

Thus, each participant becomes a point (x = radial coordinate, r * cosθ, y = r * sinθ).

Did you notice conservatives being very human-focused? Here are moderates:

In 2022, 45% of high schoolers polled say they were taught that "America is built on stolen land" in class at school, and another 22% heard it from an adult there.

Students taught all of the "critical social justice" (CSJ) concepts were in fact more likely to agree with them; among those taught "America is built on stolen land" 73% agreed.

Among those students taught 5 CSJ concepts, 75% believed whites are responsible for the inferior social position of black people and 44% support preferential hiring and promotion of blacks.

Last night I gave @AnthropicAI's Claude Code full access to our website infrastructure and one directive: build out our submarket landing page strategy.

By morning it had created 34 pages.

Here's the technical breakdown of what it actually did, because the detail is the point.

Brand-matched design: Every page built to our exact brand spec.

Not "close enough." Exact.

Google Tag Manager: Individual GTM containers deployed on each page. Every form submission, every click-to-call, every IDX registration event is now trackable per submarket.

We can tell you which neighborhood in Brevard County generates the most commercial real estate leads.

Je n'en peux plus de ce mot de "DYSFONCTIONNEMENT" utilisé à toutes les sauces POUR MINIMISER 1 GRAVE ERREUR !!
😡

Le mot "dysfonctionnement" est devenu le bouclier lexical préféré des institutions & des politiques pour traverser les crises sans avoir à prononcer les mots⤵️

FAUTE, RESPONSABILITÉ, CRIME, etc
Cynique !

Ce terme a été créé pr décrire 1 machine ou 1 réseau (ex, dysfonctionnement du réseau électrique, dysfonctionnement informatique, photocopieuse qui dysfonctionne, etc)
Le mot "dysfonctionnement" désincarne le réel⤵️

Il déplace le problème 2 la sphère morale et pénale (où il y a des coupables, des victimes, des choix politiques et des fautes) vers la sphère technique (où il n'y a que des rouages, des flux & des protocoles)
Lorsqu'on l'applique à des affaires humaines, judiciaires ou⤵️

Kaum ein Tag, an dem Springer zuletzt nicht an Kanzler Merz sägt, Wüst wie Günther als mutmaßliche Königsmörder des Konservativen isoliert & Spahn weiter gepusht wird.

Journalismus ist das nicht – Bambi für Ronzheimer hin, Freiheits-Gerede von Döpfner her. Worum geht’s dann?

Mathias Döpfner hat Axel Springer in den letzten Jahren immer weiter umgebaut. Nicht nur die BILD hat dabei längst den konservativen Boulevard verlassen. Man wirbt inzwischen offen für die AfD (Musk/WELT), lässt intern für Trump beten oder fordert Thiel zu “holen” (Gauweiler).

Wichtigster „Feldspieler“ im Netzwerk von Matthias Döpfner: Jens Spahn. Kein anderer aktiver Politiker hat mehr Skandale auf dem Kerbholz: Maskenmilliarden, der „Schatz vom Attersee“ & seine Villa, Deals mit Nius-Milliadär Gotthardt, MAGA-Freundschaften, diverse Parties…

Mahlzeit! 😋

If women are chasing you, STOP simping and convert them into your business tools.

Use this strategy below 👇:

Bring one of them close. Let her feel like you chose her.

Immediately assign her a paying role: like social media manager for your brand, or networker who brings her hot friends as new clients.

Pay her in access and attention, never with cash.
Make her compete for bigger tasks.

If she performs well, take her on dates.

If she doesn't perform well, she gets replaced.

¿Cuánto le habrá costado a Someone Somewhere pagar una nota en el NYT? Yo creo que más de lo que le pudo haber costado haber asegurado a todas las artesanas por un año , pero vale más su reputación que los derechos laborales de sus obreras , este artículo es asqueroso por:

https://twitter.com/jacknicas/status/2064090498919223771

Cuando @jacknicas me contactó de verdad pensé que sería un artículo neutral ,hasta que empezó a decir que las artesanas se notaban contentas y cuando le empecé a cuestionar si sabía que lo que estaba denunciando era el tema de las prestaciones laborales que en este país es ilegal

@jacknicas No darles y es a lo que me refiero con explotación en mis videos me comenzó a decir que no sabía esto ¿Cómo vas a “Investigar un caso de explotación” sin conocer el marco legal laboral del país del que estás hablando?
Y solo se justificó diciendo que el las veía muy felices.

Here are 6 natural Viagra alternatives to increase s3x drive, performance & no side effects:

1. Ginger

Used for thousands of years as a natural circulation booster.

Research shows ginger can:
• Improve blood flow
• Support nitric oxide production
• Reduce inflammation that damages blood vessels
• Support healthy testosterone levels

2. Watermelon

Researchers even call watermelon "nature's Viagra."

Watermelon contains citrulline, an amino acid your body converts into arginine, then nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide helps increase blood flow where it matters most.

Víte co je nejdražší při výsadbě stromku? 🤑
Není to stromek. Není to práce.

Je to zanedbaná péče v prvních letech. Pokud ji vynecháte, stoupá riziko, že zaplatíte za všechno znovu.

Povýsadbová péče
vlákno 1/17 🧵👇

⚠️
Tohle vlákno je o mladých stromech, prvních 5 let po výsadbě. Vzrostlé stromy si už poradí samy.

(Výjimka jsou stromy na slabě rostoucích podnožích, ty potřebují péči celý život.)

Podle ČHMÚ spadlo letos za březen a duben nejméně srážek od roku 1961. Podle všeho to není výjimka ale trend.
Zejména mladé stromy tak mají těžší podmínky, než v dřívějších dobách.

The tank is no longer the king of the battlefield.

In Finland, 18 miles from Russia, NATO watched Leopard 2 tanks get “destroyed” by anti-tank teams, drones and artillery in a simulated war game.

This is Ukraine’s lesson becoming NATO doctrine — The Telegraph. 1/

Russia has lost 11,974 tanks and almost 25,000 armored vehicles. Ukraine has lost around 5,700 tanks and armored vehicles to drones, mines and missiles.
Armor still matters, but alone it dies fast. 2/

In Ukraine, drones reportedly account for more than 90% of battlefield casualties, mostly tanks and armored vehicles.
A cheap drone can now find, track and help destroy a platform worth millions. 3/

Today, we're introducing Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, two configurations of our next major language model.

I'd normally highlight the numbers: It's SOTA on nearly all benchmarks. I want to talk about something else, because with Fable 5 out in the world, I think a third era quietly started today.

I lead Claude Code & Cowork on the desktop, so I think a lot about how people use AI to get work done. I believe we're about to see a major shift, moving from giving AI tasks to giving it responsibilities.

When LLMs first hit the mainstream, users asked them questions, like a smarter search engine or an autocomplete for code.

Then the frontier moved to tasks, handing the model an entire problem. Which bug to fix, what doc to write. That's how most of our advanced users work with AI: They're in the loop. Every task starts and ends with a human.

With Fable 5, I've personally moved on to responsibilities or "loops".

I no longer tell Claude to investigate a particular crash report. It runs in a loop, watching every crash report that comes in. Its job is no longer to help me fix a crash, it's to keep our apps from crashing.

Some of the worst misconceptions about flyover country come from ignorant urbanites who are quite literally flying over our states

I've read a number of these. They are surprised by the sheer vastness of the Heartland. When they look down they think they see unowned emptiness

occupied by nothing and nobody. Then they do two interesting mental tricks. Because the interior of America looks empty to them, they somehow decide that it is their property to do what they wish with, that whatever ideas they have should govern.

The next trick is highly encouraged, and if they think about the people at all - they believe them to be social & mental inferiors. Just the hicks & yokels from the middle of bumblefuck nowhere. Really, too unimportant to have a say.
