@RameshPonnuru @realestateacct @DominicJPino This is an important point, thank you for the clarification. Now: the flipside! The marginal rent expense and food cost, for two people to live off the $32,000 annual payment, versus the expenses to the single person… There’s an economic on reality and unfairness to this. 1/
@RameshPonnuru @realestateacct @DominicJPino Maybe the couple should see their bounty reduced to $26,000, and the single person see theirs raised to $20,000. I’m pulling numbers out of the air. Social Security is partially a retirement system, but it is also a welfare program. It’s a shifting of resources… 2/
@RameshPonnuru @realestateacct @DominicJPino That seeks to eliminate poverty and seniors. Which is to say to make their life less financially stressful. The problem is it’s been a popular political program whose actuarial soundness isn’t there. And we all know it, except we don’t. We don’t wanna deal with it. 3/
Wargames : Selon une étude du King’s College de Londres, les principaux modèles d’OpenAI, d’Anthropic et de Google ont opté pour l’usage d’armes ☢️ dans 95% des cas, soulignant l’inquiétante propension des machines à franchir des seuils que les humains abordent avec prudence.

En la decada de 1950, L. Ron Hubbard acuñó la "Técnica de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas", una manipulación psicológica que utiliza contradicciones, cambios abruptos de temas y tonterías desorientadoras.

2 La CIA formalizó ese concepto en su Manual de Interrogación de Contrainteligencia de KUBARK en 1963, para “confundir las expectativas y las reacciones condicionadas” de alguien, reemplazando su mundo familiar por algo “extraño, misterioso y sin sentido”.
3 Las personas sometidas a contradicciones generalizadas se desequilibran mentalmente
Se instalan en la angustia buscando algo “coherente” a lo que aferrarse
En ese momento se les presenta algo que “parezca coherente” a lo que se aferran como si fuera la REALIDAD

Various Swedish government agencies are referring questions from TV4 to FRA, the [Swedish] National Defence Radio Establishment, their SIGINT agency, so this smells of something cyber.

Here are 12 insane Claude prompts that automate any task in minutes (Save for later)
1. The Google Staff Engineer Script Builder
"You are a staff software engineer at Google who writes clean, production-grade Python scripts that automate complex workflows for teams processing millions of data points daily.
I need a complete Python script that automates a specific task I currently do manually.
Build:
- The full working script ready to copy, paste, and run immediately
- Clear comments explaining every block of code in plain English
- Error handling: try-except blocks that catch failures gracefully instead of crashing
- Input validation: check that the data or files fed in are correct before processing
- Progress indicators: print statements showing what the script is doing at each step
- Logging: save a record of what happened each time the script runs
- Configuration section at the top: all settings I might want to change in one easy place
- Requirements list: every library needed with exact pip install commands
- How to run it: step-by-step instructions for someone who has never run Python before
- How to schedule it: make this script run automatically every day, week, or month
Format as a complete, tested Python script with a README explaining setup and usage in under 5 minutes.

"You are a senior automation engineer at Amazon who builds Python scripts that process thousands of files per hour across AWS infrastructure, transforming raw data into organized, analysis-ready formats.
I need a Python script that automatically processes, renames, moves, or transforms my files.
Build:
- File discovery: scan folders and subfolders to find all files matching my criteria
- Filtering logic: process only specific file types, date ranges, or name patterns
- Batch renaming: rename hundreds of files using consistent naming conventions automatically
- Format conversion: convert between CSV, JSON, Excel, PDF, or text formats
- Data extraction: pull specific information from inside files (dates, numbers, names, tables)
- File organization: sort files into folders by date, type, project, or any custom rule
- Duplicate detection: find and flag identical or near-identical files wasting storage
- Compression: zip processed files and archive originals for backup
- Summary report: generate a log showing every file processed, skipped, or failed
- Undo capability: a reverse script that restores original file names and locations if needed

A marriage counselor who spent 45 years working with hundreds of couples revealed the eight principles that separate the couples who make it from the ones who don't.
These are not theories.
They are observations from a lifetime of watching marriages succeed and fail.....
These are not theories.
They are observations from a lifetime of watching marriages succeed and fail.....
1. The Marriage is a Third Entity
Think of your marriage as a living thing, separate from both of you.
It requires care, attention, and sacrifice. When you ask "what's best for me?" or "what's best for you?" you miss the point. Ask "what's best for us?"
This third entity needs to be protected. It needs date nights. It needs honest conversations. It needs priority over work, over children, over everything else.
Serve the marriage well, and it will serve you both.

Serve the marriage well, and it will serve you both.
2. You Must Fight, But You Must Fight Well
Every couple has conflict. The ones who last are not the ones who never fight. They're the ones who know how to fight well.
They attack the problem, not the person. They seek understanding before victory. They repair after rupture. They don't keep score. They don't use words as weapons.
Fighting well is a skill. It must be learned and practiced.
The couples who learn it survive. The ones who don't, don't.

Let’s cut through the “goyim” nonsense. About half of Jewish Americans (45%) want to be one—they don’t observe any religion. 70% of married non-Orthodox Jews have a “goyish” spouse. And it’s common for Jewish men to fantasize about being with a “shiksa” (non-Jewish woman). /1
When Jewish immigrants arrived in America in the early 1900s, nearly all were Orthodox Jewish. But assimilation happened quickly and extensively.
1. They had to work on Sabbath.
2. The “goyish” lifestyle appealed to them.
Same happened in Europe, prior, during the 1800s.

Jewish immigrants not only loved non-Jewish American-ness, they participated in its cultural creations, e.g. Irving Berlin writing “White Christmas” to Philip Roth’s obsession with "shiksappeal" in Portnoy’s Complaint. Jews trying to be non-Jewish was a thing.

“Think step by step.”
That’s outdated.
OpenAI researchers moved beyond it to something called 'Reasoning Scaffolds.'
It forces structured thinking instead of shallow chains.
Works across every major LLM.

It forces structured thinking instead of shallow chains.
Works across every major LLM.
Here’s the format you can copy now:
First, why "think step by step" fails.
It tells the model to think.
It doesn't tell the model how to think.
You get surface-level reasoning dressed up as depth.
Confident-sounding outputs with zero structural logic underneath.

Reasoning Scaffolds fix this by forcing the model through a locked sequence before it answers.
Not "think step by step."
But:
→ Decompose the problem
→ Identify what's known vs. unknown
→ Map dependencies between sub-problems
→ Solve bottom-up
→ Verify against the original question
Every step is required. None are skipped.
