Hi, friends! 👋
I recently donated each day’s salary to a different Israeli charity, for one month. I slowly built a list of 31 charities to which I’d personally be willing to donate a full day’s salary, and posted a short profile of each.
As a public service, I’m resurfacing the list here in 1 post, grouped by category. I hope you find it useful.
(Note that some charities appear multiple times, as they fall into multiple categories.)

הטענה שהממשלה רודפת את החרדים היא כל כך הזויה. לפי המספרים:
75% מהמשתמטים מהצבא הם חרדים.
מתוך כל 232 כתבי האישום שהוגשו בשנת 2026 נגד משתמטים, פחות מ7% היו נגד חרדים.
רדיפה ממש

@shevereshtus I will also add my voice to those who have said that "babysitting" is the incorrect term for watching your own children.
You are 100% responsible for your kids.
Your wife is 100% responsible for your kids.
How you divvy up the work in practice is between the two of you.
@shevereshtus I really appreciate this post, and often I struggle with the same. I know intellectually my kids need me and thrive on my presence, but honestly playing war, or feeding someone who doesn't want to eat what I'm serving, feels like a waste of everything I've built myself to be.
The @tryramp year in review was surprisingly adorable. But it was pretty foolish to calculate it before the end of the year. They should know how many expenses are submitted at the very end of the year to meet deadlines!
This feels right. You can see the bets being placed by the companies being acquired.
Cursor is betting on a future where we code like we did 5 years ago, but faster.
Anthropic is betting on a future where we evolve beyond that. Where we build systems, not file collections.
Cursor x Graphite
Cognition x Windsurf
Google x Windsurf (team)
Anthropic x Bun
The consolidation is happening, the players are being finalized and the game is being played at the highest level
@shevereshtus Knowledge of the basics of generations/history of tannaim and amoraim is similarly transformative for studying gemara, and gives an appreciation for the greatness of these individuals you'd miss otherwise. How many yeshiva students know any of it?
@levelsio This is... exactly what happened when GPS became a thing. When it funneled you to a better route, it did the same thing for thousands of others, and ultimately it turned random side streets into traffic nightmares.
Those who guide the herd hold great power.
Cloudflare is down, and all the AI services with it.
Some might decry this as a warning that we can't rely on AI for everything.
I celebrate that we have found the SPoF for AI. The plug to pull when it goes rogue and we need to shut it down globally.
The plug is Cloudflare.
@shevereshtus If anything, the major outcome of the study is to show how similar YCT/Maharat are to avowedly non-Orthodox institutions. A more interesting study would compare JTS, YCT, RIETS, Chabad, and Lakewood. The variety of answers on some of the questions would be incredibly interesting.
@shevereshtus The "Modern Orthodox" contingent interviewed consisted exclusively of YCT and Yeshivat Maharat, plus those who studied in non-Orthodox institutions and decided to call themselves Orthodox rabbis later.
I know you know this @shevereshtus, just posting for others to be aware.
עכשיו מתברר אפילו יותר שהמחאות לשחרור החטופים זה בדיוק מה שהחמאס רצו. המחאות *העלו* את המחיר, *מנעו* עיסקה, ו*האריכו* את השבי והמלחמה, חד משמעית.

@_catwu What does it mean to clear tool calls - are they completely eliminated, or summarized?
Often a tool call (e.g. Bash(run-my-tests)) will have a wall of output that could be summarized effectively as "187 succeeded, 3 failed, here are the failures..."
