This is awesome. Thanks @claudeai @AnthropicAI
Obviously I knew you guys were gonna give us a bigger context window. I didn't know when it was gonna drop.
The visceral relief and excitement are real.

@KMHD_Jazz_Radio You just played "yaba daba doo" from the Flintstones from when Fred stopped work for the day. A perfect way to hit 5 p.m. on a Friday. You made me laugh out loud. Thanks.

“They are all home.” The front page of a newspaper in Israel following the return of Ran Gvili, who was murdered and kidnapped by Hamas.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists brutally kidnapped more than 250 innocent people, including women, children, the elderly, foreign nationals, and Israelis alike, from southern Israel into Gaza. That day, more than 1,200 people were murdered, with many raped and burned alive.
In the years that followed, 168 living hostages were released, and 83 deceased hostages were returned to Israel for burial.
Now, 843 days later, hostage Ran Gvili, murdered by Hamas and then kidnapped into Gaza, has been returned to Israel for burial as the final hostage to come home. After so much pain, we can finally breathe again. 🇮🇱

The clock has stopped. The last hostage, the hero Ran Gvili z”l, is home, and history has been made after 843 days.

Throughout the entire time I was in captivity, we counted every single day.
In a place so dark, with no information, lies piled upon lies, and an endless wait to come home, we always told ourselves that we knew nothing, but there was one thing we did know - the number of days we had been held captive.

We found comfort in the thought that every day that passed was one day closer to our release.

And now, finally, we can stop counting.

The moment we waited for for so long has arrived. Everyone in this country, and people around the world, prayed for this moment.

It is incredible to me to see how everyone, truly everyone, saw, felt, and carried the pain of the hostages and their families as if they were their own brothers and sisters. People set an empty chair at Friday night dinners and on holidays, as if we were part of their family. It is incredible to see that no one gave up. Not even for a moment.

This shows us the power we have when we are united around a single goal.

Thank you to all the security forces who, for so long, risked their lives and gave everything of themselves, day after day. Thank you for not giving up. We are here because of you.

After more than 11 years in which there were hostages in Gaza, only now, finally, can an entire country begin its healing.

Be patient with one another. We have all been through hell. This is not a slogan - it is a real effort required from each of us to seek out what unites us, not what divides us.

We will always remember all those murdered in this horrific massacre,
the hostages who were murdered in captivity in cold blood, and the soldiers who gave their lives to protect our country.

We will always remember that behind every angel taken from us, there is a family that needs support and needs to be seen.

And alongside them, we remember the families of the hostages who went through hell, and who are only now truly able to begin their own healing process.

Make sure that we never forget October 7th. That we will grow from our grief and become stronger. Together.

@Jackiew80333500 @EYakoby ^ obsessive repetitive slander. Antizionist hate.

@DavidDeutschOxf @ai_russian @khalidi79397 This is a "static society" actively "suppressing" alternative memes in the most brutal way, per chapter 15 in Beginning of Infinity.

I was surprised when you told @EconTalker you didn't know where the Pattern comes from. To me, Chap 15 implies the origin.

[Mike Vladimer 🇺🇸🇮🇱🔰 @mikevladimer]

@DavidDeutschOxf Sir, you answered your own puzzle :)

@DavidDeutschOxf said: "Where [the Pattern] comes from, why it exists, I'm afraid I don't know."

Beginning Infinity Chap 15's discussion of "static societies" reads as a giant subtweet explaining Jew hatred, at least to me.

Thank god we have lived to reach this day.

ALL hostages to be released very soon!

@BusinessOregon This is awesome! Thanks for the investment in our state and for sharing the info publicly.

Great articulation of the mental load on users.

@DenisJeliazkov Here's a related problem: "choice hazards". When designers include harmful/distracting options. I just wanna drop off the Amazon return. ~10% of the time I mis-click and have to print a label + find a box🤦‍♀️

[Denislav Jeliazkov @DenisJeliazkov]

I see this mistake constantly.

Teams think they’re being “comprehensive.”

All they’re doing is making the user work harder than they’re willing to.

Mental exhaustion kills more products than bad features ever will.

@awilkinson @lennysan I have a solution for the challenge you framed: "being able to know what people would pay to solve a problem realistically is incredibly valuable". 

My "Nascent" methodology quantifies any problem in dollars ($). So far, 100 users in 3 months. Can I show you?
