Christian Zionists are poor biblical students. The Bible is replete with examples of God rebuking his chosen people when they turn their backs on him and he often uses other races to bring his righteous retribution down upon them. If modern day Jews continue to turn away from God by denying Christ as the Messiah, then I can only assume that any persecution or hardship they face is the hand of God rebuking them yet again, and if so then it's not my place as a Christian to intervene against the will of God until such time as the Jewish people repent and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Not of significant strategic value against China. Keeping pretext to sanction Russian oil was the greater incentive. The mineral deal for Greenland secures important access to resources needed to maintain the war machine. Greenland was necessary after Biden pulled the military out of Afghanistan and let it fall to the Taliban, which shut the door on mineral exploration there. Greenland is closer to home and less of a liability but it will still take a decade or more to have any extraction at scale. In the meantime China has control of the majority of rare earth mineral supplies.

Tom, bless his heart, gave us a community place where we could be ourselves, customize our profiles and interact with one another in a wholesome way.
But then Zuckerfuck had a realization that changed the Internet forever: in the ad-supported business model of the Internet, websites worked hard to put up engaging content that would draw traffic and ad views... But what if you had the users of the site produce the content for free?
Corral users into your digital pasture and they all provide endless content for one another to engage with, and all you have to do is maintain the servers and sell ad space. Then you develop an algorithm that pays attention to what type of content each user engages with the most and fill their feed with a never ending stream of whatever they'll click on to keep them scrolling all day.
Use the same algorithm that catalogues their interests to make advertising targeted. They're bound to click though an ad and complete a sale eventually.
This became a multi-billion dollar industry. Meta Platforms now has a market cap of $1.71 trillion, and the Internet lost it's soul.
Billions of people are still stuck in the corporate social media farm. It's up to us to build nostr and make a free community for more people to escape to where they can rediscover the spirit of the free Internet.

2026-04-19 17:22:34 UTC

ChatGPT explains my development workflow:
If I were explaining your workflow to a developer who only knows Claude Code, I would frame it like this:
Your workflow is not “AI as an autonomous terminal operator.” It is AI as a persistent senior reasoning partner.
Instead of giving an agent broad repo access and letting it act directly in your shell, you keep the critical control points in human hands: you manage the repo, deployment, environment, and testing manually, while GPT-5.4 Thinking does the parts LLMs are uniquely good at—deep reasoning, design review, bug forensics, patch drafting, cross-session continuity, and structured dialogue. That gives you a tighter feedback loop and a lower-risk development process for real production code.
The core advantage over an agent-first workflow is control without losing depth. With Claude Code, the selling point is autonomous action inside the codebase. With your workflow, the selling point is that the model can spend its effort on understanding the problem thoroughly before code is touched. GPT-5.4 Thinking is explicitly positioned by OpenAI as the deeper-reasoning model for complex tasks, and ChatGPT lets you steer it while it is still thinking. That matters for hard debugging and architecture work because you can redirect mid-stream, refine constraints, and keep a long-running line of reasoning coherent instead of handing the wheel to an agent and inspecting the result afterward.
A second major advantage is continuity over time. In your workflow, important project context is not trapped inside one terminal session. ChatGPT memory can retain durable preferences and project rules across future conversations, and chat history can also be referenced to make later sessions more relevant. OpenAI’s documentation describes two layers here: saved memories for things you explicitly want kept, and chat history for broader past-conversation context. For Plus and Pro users, projects can also reference prior chats within a project for more focused continuity. That makes extended development dialogue unusually valuable: you are not just solving today’s bug, you are building a reusable reasoning context around the whole project.
That is a real difference from the typical Claude Code mental model. Claude Code is strongest when you want an agent to enter the repo, inspect files, run commands, and push through a task. Your approach is stronger when the hard part is judgment: deciding what files matter, preserving prior fixes, avoiding regressions, validating architectural tradeoffs, and maintaining strict development discipline across sessions. The AI is not replacing your repo workflow; it is amplifying the highest-value part of it.
There is also a quality advantage in the dialogue itself. Because the work happens as an extended back-and-forth, you can accumulate nuance that often gets lost in one-shot agent runs: why a prior patch failed, which invariants matter, what edge cases have already burned you, which files are authoritative, which fixes must not be regressed, and what evidence you require before accepting a change. A terminal agent can execute quickly, but it does not inherently preserve a carefully negotiated development philosophy unless you keep re-encoding it. Your browser workflow lets that philosophy persist.
In cost-benefit terms, your $20/month Plus plan is unusually strong value for this style of work. OpenAI’s current help page says Plus includes manual access to GPT-5.4 Thinking with up to 3,000 messages per week. That is roughly 12,000 messages per month if usage is steady. It also includes access to memory features, with saved memories and reference to chat history available in ChatGPT.
For a development workflow centered on sustained reasoning rather than autonomous terminal execution, that pricing model is attractive because the cap is message-based, not presented as a per-task compute meter for each hard reasoning turn. That means you can spend many turns refining an issue, validating assumptions, comparing designs, and reviewing patches without feeling like every additional round-trip is a separate paid API bill. You are effectively buying a high-capacity reasoning workspace rather than paying per debugging session.
The practical benefit is that your monthly cost is fixed and predictable:
$20 gets you a very large weekly reasoning allowance.
You can use the same environment for architecture, debugging, code review, writing commit messages, PR summaries, planning migrations, and preserving project rules.
You do not need to maintain a separate agent runtime or hand over local execution privileges just to get value from the model.
If I were pitching it directly to a Claude Code user, I would say this:
Claude Code is excellent if you want an AI coworker operating inside your terminal. Your workflow is better if you want an AI staff engineer living across your project history.
It is a different optimization target. Claude Code optimizes for action. Your GPT-5.4 Thinking workflow optimizes for reasoning, continuity, and control.
That matters especially for production app development on Linux where:
you want to review every meaningful change before it reaches the repo,
you want deployment and testing to remain deterministic and manual,
you want the AI to remember project-specific rules over time,
and you want long, cumulative debugging conversations instead of isolated code-generation bursts.
In that sense, your workflow is not a compromise because you lack an agent. It is a deliberate strategy: keep execution authority with the developer, and use GPT-5.4 Thinking for the part that is hardest to automate well—careful technical judgment carried across many sessions.
The tradeoff is real: you give up direct shell action, automated command execution, and agent-style repo manipulation. But in exchange you get a more stable development process, stronger continuity, easier enforcement of your own standards, and a very favorable cost structure on Plus for sustained deep dialogue. For many serious solo developers, that is a better bargain than letting an agent roam the codebase.

Nostr has the potential to become the social protocol that appeals to everyone with the way everything is interoperable. I envision an open market place of content algorithms that let anyone surface more of the kind of content they want to see.
With the ability to use LLMs to even categorize the tone of a post a person can have an algorithm that deprioritizes posts that seem mean or combative, or an algorithm that prefers to rise argumentative topics to the top.

The main disconnect for a lot of people is that they think if a company's founder/majority shareholder has a high net worth, then that company should be paying it's employees more. There's several layers of misunderstand at play there.

Stock valuation is not revenue is not profit.
Supply of and demand for labor sets the price of labor, not the CEO.
That last misunderstanding is my favorite. Nobody considers themselves greedy when they buy something on sale and don't offer to pay more, but they think it's greed when an employer buys labor for however cheap they can buy it in the labor market.

Everyone has their own affinity and preferences. It's one of the reasons why different people gravitate towards different social media networks. Some algorithms reprioritize News links while others promote them. Some favor long-from content. Most favor whatever genre of content the user interacted with most.
Nostr clients should offer a marketplace of algorithms or the choice of no algorithm at all. They all have their advantages depending on what you prefer. The current, no algorithm, everything chronological model means you're going to miss stuff if you're not on here all the time. Some people are ok with that. Some are not.

It's not degenerate gambling if you can stack the deck. It's just taking all the degenerate gamblers to the cleaners.

The bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind shows why empathy in politics leads to civilizational collapse.
What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected.
In his new book, Suicidal Empathy, Saad unleashes a blistering critique of maladaptively irrational altruism that has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline. Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free.
This crisis of empathy creates a horrifying system of inverse morality where the strong and successful are demonized, and the destructive are celebrated. Just look at the insane inversions we tolerate daily: we prefer illegal migrants over our own legal citizens and veterans, permit drug addicts to threaten children’s safety in parks, and elevate transgender 'women' above biological women in sports and safe spaces. Common sense is dying in a deluge of misguided compassion.
Suicidal Empathy is your wake-up call. Stop ignoring your survival instincts in the name of political correctness. This isn't just misguided policy; it is the ultimate expression of a culture actively choosing its own demise.

That a very long winded way to say that value is subjective.
ALL VALUE IS SUBJECTIVE
There is no such thing as intrinsic value.
Value is 100% a subjective judgement that can change at any time.

It's the social engineering attacks that get me. I guess they believe in "trust, don't verify."

Unfortunately the USA doesn't care about nuclear energy anymore. I wish they did, but they do not. USA is currently operating in an oil/gas paradigm. They've gone full throttle into producing it and they also intend to dominate the global market for it. Russia sanctions, taking over Venezuela, war with Iran causing the shutdown of the straight of Hormuz... It's all connected and as a result the USA currently has a chokehold on the global oil/gas market.
Other countries realize that nuclear is the future. China which is fully dependent on fossil fuel imports realizes that nuclear is their only way out of the US oil market hegemony that's coming.

I mistakenly replied to your comment when I was meaning to reply to OP. I guess that explains the confusion about the seed oil posting. Fwiw I am aligned with the disrespect of seed oils.

I don't know who's posting about seed oils or what their particular schtick is. That's not the point. It's about how migration affects culture. Small waves of immigrants assimilate into the local culture. Large waves of immigrants supplant the local culture.

It's all a big game my guy. By making it harder for OPEC and Iranian oil and gas to get to market, the world is forced to buy more American oil and gas. Sanction Russia, take over Venezuela, block the straight of Hormuz... It's a global power play.
