@OpenAIDevs This doesn’t feel as revolutionary when you’ve already been automating almost everything via the command line.

[Charlie Deist @chdeist]

@nimbalyst @samhbarton @ponyinhouse @Calyxapp @zeddotdev @Typora @superdoteng Just updated will let you know

[Charlie Deist @chdeist]

@samhbarton @ponyinhouse @Calyxapp @zeddotdev I've been using @Typora for this, but MD Preview looks nice.

Also playing with @Superdoteng (Rust-based, like Zed) which has slightly better tab/worktree/workspace management but still no WYSIWYG editing mode for markdown. @nimbalyst has this, but crashes all the time.

@samhbarton @Calyxapp @zeddotdev Sweet. Signed up for the beta.

@samhbarton Oh, there’s the answer to my question 😄

[Charlie Deist @chdeist]

@AnthropicAI My theory:

[Charlie Deist @chdeist]

Mythos + @karpathy was too powerful a combination. They had to shut it down.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

@daniel_mac8 Thank you for this.

[Catholic Land Movement @CatholicLand]

Below is a summary of a 1932 document written by Hebert Shrove and Father Vincent McNabb.

The first part is the spiritual motivations for the Land Movement.

The second part is the practical means.

1 Worship of God: Put spiritual life before material concerns; seek closer communion with God.
2 Following Christ: Return to the values of Nazareth—simplicity, humility, and redemption through Christian living.
3 Family Love: Restore the Catholic family and the stability of the home as the foundation of society.
4 Love of Chastity: Escape the moral temptations of urban life and foster purity and self-control.
5 Love of Justice: Promote productive work, thrift, ownership, and a fairer distribution of wealth.
6 Love of Liberty: Secure freedom through family ownership of land and independence from wage slavery and urban dependence.
7 Love of Country (Fatherland): Strengthen national self-sufficiency by repopulating and cultivating the countryside.

Aims of the Movement

1 Family Security: Enable families to support themselves directly from the land.
2 National Security: Reduce dependence on industrialism and foreign imports; build a resilient rural economy.
3 Spiritual Security: Create communities centered on Catholic faith, worship, and moral life.

Means (Methods) of the Movement

1 Village Communities: Establish rural Catholic communities large enough to support a church, priest, and school.
2 Family Subsistence Farms: Organize farms primarily to feed the family first and sell only surplus produce.
3 Mutual Cooperation: Encourage neighborly exchange, shared labor, and local self-sufficiency rather than dependence on markets.
3 Organized Training: Train settlers in farming and rural life through dedicated training farms and colonies.
4 Group Settlement: Resettle families together rather than individually to ensure social, economic, and spiritual support.
5 Co-ordinated Decentralisation: Use local associations linked by a coordinating committee, allowing regional autonomy while pursuing common goals.
6 Prayer, Leadership, Land, and Resources: Support the movement through prayer, funding, land donations or leases, and trained leaders and settlers.

Core Vision (One-Sentence Summary)

The Catholic Land Movement sought to rebuild Christian family and community life by resettling people on small, family-owned farms within faith-centered rural communities that were economically self-sufficient, morally healthy, and spiritually grounded.

Is that Nujo?

This works.

We are moving towards skills, scripts and software as modular components - infinitely customizable.

You don’t usually need to reinvent the wheel.

The raw milk revolution will be televised (on X, of course).

[Case Bradford @Casebradford]

Marc Duivenvoorden runs one of the best raw milk farms in California (and America)

Their sales have gone up 3X over the past 5 years with 60 cows they milk once a day.

Not a single person has ever gotten sick from their raw milk.

Safer than nearly any other food, and healthier too

They recently helped @regenranching launch their raw dairy operation down near San Diego 🌞

This episode of @PeakEarthPod is one of my favorites, will be published in a few weeks 🫡

And if you live near Northern California, seek out Duivenvoorden Farms raw milk
