While I'm talking about new ways to structure computer programs, what does it look like to _push_ data into an LLM? Instead of making it natural language fetching, with huge privilege to do stuff, can we structure things to, say, have one system supply some data context, and push it into an LLM to arrange processing, and that in turn pushes to other systems for action? It's not quite “code and data are separate", but I think the inversion might help mitigate a lot of the lethal trifecta. It also puts humans in the artisan-director seat, rather than the wannabe slave-master's seat, metaphorically.

Due process isn't a privilege enjoyed by American citizens.
It's a promise made BY American citizens, to everyone.
It's one of our core values as a country.
You'd think a rep would know that and fight for it, not against it.

One thing that you learn as a unix admin - users can only increase niceness, privilege is needed to decrease it.

Privilege as Pollination: Rethinking Power, Responsibility, and Leadership
Privilege isn’t a problem to erase—it’s a resource to redistribute. This essay explores how to turn privilege into pollination, and power into connection.

There is a pernicious trend in leftwing discourse where a person correctly notes that somebody is being given privileged treatment, but then immediately implies that the right course of action is to take that privilege away.
More often, the right thing to do would be to afford everybody the privilege and encode it as a right.

Of course it's gonna be privileged kids doing more activism! It's the fact they use their privilege, “pass the mic”, and fight for a world where their circumstances aren't a privilege but a right, that's what matters.
When conservatives point out the privilege of their political rivals, it's never to actually criticize a hierarchical society, but rather an expression of the wish that their opponents had as little of a voice as the groups they marginalize.

@… @… she also spoke witb Blanche last year. Why isn’t that waiver of privilege. (Representative Khanna has asked the same question.)

yeah, so it becomes a test for privilege or fear
privileged kids who have never been food-insecure, whose teachers & coaches & caretakers have always given a shit -- they pass the marshmallow test
or kids who have been draconically punished for disobedience -- they also pass, for very different reasons
but both groups are willing to wait for the additional marshmallows later
the _truly_ scrappy (gritty?) kids might grab the marshmallow and then lobby for the l…

And like.... I get it. I know these folks are terrible. But if you still have any of these people in your life, there is a level of privilege generally associated with that. Everyone who doesn't have the privilege needs you to use it now to help ease the boot on their neck.
Every crack in this system is important, even if it's just one more person who is out.
"When your ready enemy is strong, divide them. When your enemy is weak, attack them."
We're still in that "dividing" phase, and providing a path for folks to leave the cult undermines the power of the cult. The more people who leave, the faster they leave, the faster it unravels. If you hate Trump, and you still can talk to any of his supporters, now is the time to stop gloating and pointing out how stupid they are and to instead give them a way to leave. Most of them don't actually want to be defending a demented pedophile, so please help them stop doing that.

"What a privilege to collaborate with microbes and chicken manure. What a relief to recognize that the call to healing and life is a call to all creation. We do not work alone!"

That’s a wrap. After that I raided my usual manga shop (which is conveniently situated at the bottom of the building I live in, check my privilege) for everything they had from Tomoko Yamashita. I’m not sure it will be enough.

Sustainability is current just a privilege. Only achievable by those who can afford it. Therefore it needs to be widely and generously subsidised.

Introduction From subtle shifts in the procedural mechanics of self-defense doctrine to substantive expansions of justified lethal force, many red-state legislatures across the country are delegating larger amounts of “violence work” to the private sphere. In the wake of antiracism protests in summer 2020, Republican-dominated legislatures proposed a slew of such measures. The measures provide […]

Very proud and excited to vote in the NDP leadership race today!!
This is not the first time I've voted in a Federal leadership race... more on that later but first, my choices! I considered only voting for two people, but I ended up filling in all 5 choices.
#1: Tanille Johnston @…
#2: Avi Lewis @…
#3: Heather McPherson
#4: Tony McQuail
#5: Rob Ashton
Why?
You might ask why I would publicize my choices. I don’t expect others to of course. It is a privilege and a right in Canada to exercise your democratic choice freely and privately, but I also think there is value in knowing how others voted.
#1 why Tanille? #electoralReform and proportional representation myself, I didn't just want to pick my top two. I wanted to make a statement on each of these candidates an influence each one.
To be blunt, Heather is #3 because she is the middle-of-the-road candidate. She is an excellent representative as MP and has gathered the support of other MPs including my own, but while I would be OK with her leadership, I would see her as a continuation of the status quo, and that is not what the NDP needs as a party, nor is it what Canada needs as a country.
We desperately need a vigorous and clear alternative to the Centre-but-mostly-Right Liberals, and the MAGA-wannabe Conservatives. The only way to do that is to catch the attention of Canadians and inspire them. I am not sure that Heather has the ability to do that, and if we continue with the same leadership crew in the NDP, I am not confident that the policy choices will be strong enough to inspire and attract Canadians.
That is why Tanille and Avi are far better options.
#4 Why Tony:

Tony is the real deal. Honestly, I would have loved to rank him higher. He represents the true life blood of rural, socially progressive, environmentally aware, Canadians. You should go check out his platform. I am so glad that he was able to participate fully in the race and we need his voice in the NDP.
#5 Why not Rob?
I have been an active member in my Union for more than 10 years. Unionism is The Way. Rob is representing a division within the union movement that claims that working people can't have jobs if the environment is put first. This is a lie.
We need union leaders that look to the future and speak honestly to people. We need union leaders who are genuinely progressive, not ready to do the bidding of corporate masters to the benefit of a few.
Working people need honesty, and when an industry is on decline, a clear path to new, excellent, union, jobs!
