So there are those mixed reactions.
This is a great overall view, summarizing actual issues instead of being hyperbolic or overly optimistic:

Last month, I became aware of #GitHub #agentic #workflows. I succeeded in creating one, to extract structured data out of release notes, something that was done before manually.

Carefully hugged this smol oak tree on Shotwell Street 💚 Coast live oaks were likely the most common tree in so-called San Francisco before colonization and provide habitat/food for 270 species. But they’re rarely planted as street trees: only 9 scattered around the Mission according to DPW. The city only allows them on sidewalks 15’ wide without overhead power lines, a unicorn situation. Even then they usually plant Australian and other exotic species.

The Silence Camus Refused to Domesticate: Hazel Barnes, The Myth of Sisyphus, and the Cost of a Sympathetic Misreading
Hazel Barnes was one of the most careful American readers of French existentialism in the twentieth century. She translated Sartre's Being and Nothingness in 1956, a labor that shaped how generations of American students encountered Continental thought. When she turns to Camus, though, something interesting happens on the page. Her summary of The Myth…

Improved Approximation Guarantees for Groupwise Maximin Share Fairness

Abstract: We study the problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods to a set of $n$ agents with additive valuation functions. We focus on the very demanding notion of \textit{groupwise maximin share fairness} (GMMS), which requires that each agent $i$ receives value comparable to their maximin share, where the latter is computed \textit{with respect to any subset of agents that contains $i$}. We show that it is possible to compute $(\phi-1)$-approximate GMMS allocations in polynomial time, where $\phi \approx 1.618$ is the golden ratio). This improves on the previously known guarantee of $4/7$ of Chaudhury et al. [SICOMP; 2021] and Amanatidis et al. [TCS; 2020]. We propose a simple algorithm that maintains the same main properties as the Draft-and-Eliminate algorithm of Amanatidis et al. [TCS, 2020] and we improve on the approximation guarantee analysis by carefully bounding the relevant value within any subinstance induced by the restriction of our allocation to a subset of agents. Our analysis is asymptotically tight for algorithms that share these properties and has the additional benefit of giving improved guarantees for restricted settings; in particular, when the agents agree on the top $n$ goods or when the number of agents is small. To illustrate the challenges of going beyond the guarantees of our algorithm, we also present a variant with an improved approximation of $(\sqrt{10}-1)/3 \approx 0.72$ for the case of three agents. To achieve this improvement we partially characterize the maximin share guarantees of short picking sequences for a small number of goods.

Free speech is the power to criticize your government without fear of prosecution. It is a basic human right.
It is not about getting away with hurting your neighbor who never caused you any harm. Dignity is a human right.
That is also what "love your neighbor" is about.
It's just a sensible thing to do.
Do not tolerate hate speech.
There is no (need for a) "freedom to hate".
Be kind to one another. 🧡
