Throwback to September 17, 1993!

Stone Temple Pilots hit the stage on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and delivered “Wicked Garden.”

Over three decades later, this performance remains a killer reminder of just how powerful the early ’90s alternative rock era was.

Omarchy is blowing up. I've never been involved with anything in my career that has grown this fast. With Ruby on Rails, we had years to build solid institutions, teams, and relationships. With Omarchy, we've been forced to figure it all out in twelve days. It's exhausting, but also incredibly exciting.

It was never sustainable with just Ryan and me running everything. That's how it was, more or less, up until Quattro. Lots of other contributors, but all the responsibility was on us to make sure the ship stayed afloat, the servers didn't crash, and fixes got pushed out quickly.

Now it's time to build a proper institution. Durable, resilient, and competent. That's what we're doing here on Basecamp now. I'm spinning up teams for every facet of responsible distro management, and I'm getting an absolute outpouring of interest for all of them. Everyone wants to be part of this. We're winning hearts, minds, and volunteers at an astounding rate. Great! We need all of it to succeed.

Because make no mistake: There are many people who'd love to see this rocket blow up before it reaches the moon. Aggrieved Linux users who don't like the sudden attention their exclusive hobby has received. Competing Linux distributions that are seeing our numbers explode. Mac stans who've sunk their identity into an apple. And, of course, any of the haters I've picked up in my quarter-century career speaking bluntly on the internet.

They're not going to succeed. Because we've already become unstoppable. There's too much momentum, too much money, and too much support now backing this effort. We're living the Mandate From Heaven meme at the moment. And we are here to fulfill the prophecy: The Year of Linux on the Desktop!

That has been a joke for two decades. But by the end of the year, nobody at Apple or Microsoft is going to be laughing. They're going to be scrambling. Because neither of these proud organizations currently has any method to counter the speed, vision, or ambition with which we're going to accelerate into the future of personal computing.

This is the moment. This is the opening. This is our chance.

For thirty years, we've been subject to one OS overlord or another. Dictating how we compute. Choking off competitors through platform malfeasance. Tollboothing the distribution. That ends now. Because Linux is going to win. And Linux is free. As in beer, speech, and source.

But just because it's inevitable doesn't mean it's going to be easy. We have a lot of work in front of us if we actually want to make our mark. But there's never been a better time for this kind of delusional ambition. The age of agents is the unlocking factor. It sounds like a LinkedIn slogan, but it's true. Where the application of tokens goes, the innovation follows.

We can fix everything.

Let's do it together.

Let's go.

This is what I sent to the dozens of new volunteers who've signed up for teams within the new Omarchy organization yesterday. But we might as well broadcast our mission and intentions to the world too.

Un prolo de banlieue a objectivement un meilleur niveau de vie que Louis XIV.

Pourtant on continue d’entendre que les crimes et les violences s’expliquent par « la misère » ou « le contexte social ».

C’est faux.

En tant que Blanc, Breton, si demain un Blanc, Breton, commet des crimes et des actes horribles, cette personne s’est toute seule exclue de la communauté.

Elle doit être punie sévèrement.

Le fait qu’elle soit blanche ou bretonne n’ajoute aucune forme d’empathie.

Mon tweet d’hier porte exactement là-dessus.

Ce que demande Elon Musk, et ce que les médias et les politiques font semblant de ne pas comprendre, c’est qu’il y a une justice à deux vitesses.

Une tolérance et une empathie suicidaires envers des communautés parce que communautés.

La justice devrait être agnostique au concept même de communauté.

Uniquement l’individu doit être pris en compte.

L’incapacité des communautés de tout ordre à montrer du doigt ceux qui se comportent mal avec le reste de la société condamne et stigmatise l’ensemble du groupe.

Une société qui fonctionne bien, c’est :

Justice implacable pour les criminels.

Empathie absolue pour les victimes.

Ignorance totale des communautés ou d’un quelconque passé pour interpréter un acte.

Les criminels ne violent et ne volent pas à cause de leur situation sociale.

C’est à chaque communauté de rejeter avec violence ceux qui se comportent mal.

Et surtout de ne pas les excuser.

we gave all of our best compute to anthropic and they used it to train fable which mogs our 3.5 pro model so hard that we’ve abandoned it and started vague posting about an ambitious new pre train.

let me try and rank order

1. sam, mogs all, bullish on compute, resets for everyone. best all around product

2. dario, almost demolished his own company with his cone of uncertainty until his main competitors (google and xai) gave him all the compute he needs to build the sand gods.

3. elon, skills didn’t translate to building a frontier research team and actually did demolish his company. saved by the acquisition of cursor and revenue gained from anthropic, plus getting some juicy fable data.

4. google (i’m not putting demis here because i love him and he deserves so much more)

totally misjudged compute needed, having to hide behind a flash model of this, possibly not beaten by muse spark.

they came so so close to getting back in the game but they flinched.

i love the gemini team but i gots to calls it how i sees it.

Every time you think you need a dashboard to look at data, stop yourself.

Do this instead:

1. Ask your agent to make sure that you have all the data to analyze something actually stored in the database.

2. Ask your agent to write a skill to gather that data.

3. Ask your agent to do the analysis and create a temp and throw-away HTML dashboard to answer the question(s) that you have

In my experience, every dashboard that I've created gets less and less use over time and decays.

It's much better to make sure your agent can get the data you need and answer the questions you have, on-demand.
