Featuring compute, inevitability, second-order effects, travel tips, Andor, and Isaiah Berlin.

The US-Russian Alliance that Saved the Union
4/25/2011
by Webster Tarpley
https://t.co/Oujs9fMV8r

summary:
The argument is that the U.S., in its present form, owes its existence to Tzar Alexander II of Russia's intervention in American politics.
(Alexander II is the Tzar who freed the serfs in 1861.)

The Northern States would have lost the Civil War if Britain and France had entered on the side of the Confederate States in the South. They wanted to do so and were kept out by Alexander II and the Russian Navy positioned off of New York City and San Francisco.

--Historian Webster Griffin Tarpley talks about the contribution of Russian Tsar Alexander II to a northern victory in the U.S. Civil War.
He says that the Imperial Russian government had issued an ultimatum to Britain and France specifying that if those powers should intervene on the side of the Confederate States of America they would immediately find themselves at war with the Russian Empire
--Russia was the only country to extend direct military support to the Lincoln government.

Ask your spouse (or your co-worker)…if you need to enrich your listening skills. Wow. I needed this book years ago! Read my review of “Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection,” from @BKpub, by Christian van Nieuwerburgh and Robert Biswas-Diener. https://t.co/621NwOLWku

2025 ai stack:

claude: primary hub for all personal projects—health, wellness, finances, trackers, todo lists. main coding assistant (claude code). now experimenting with search.

gemini: fast google lookups, youtube/video summarization, generating google docs. generating images, & videos. editing copy. deep research is surprisingly good.

perplexity: general purpose search, quick fact-checking, broader info retrieval.

grok: for real time stuff, especially x.

I've started another round of unfollowing.

This one will be brutal for many.

If you've been following me and I can't find that you've reshared anything from me since the first of the year I'm unfollowing you.

I have everyone in lists now, so I'll still see your stuff, but I will not be following anymore.

X is a two-way street.

I reshare so much from everyone else.

Only fair to see a reshare from my account every once in a while if you want a follow from me.

I had AI write me a script to scroll to the bottom of the 24,000 I'm following.

At the end we will see where we are.

Major house cleaning ahead.

I'm shocked that many people still aren’t using AI tools.

Most people only know about ChatGPT.

Here are 12 hidden gems you need to know:

[Scott Stevenson @scottastevenson]

Warning to young technologists: there is a kind of person who is motivated to learn tech as a way to impress and gain cool points amongst other technologists. Maybe not knowingly, but subconsciously—they are socially motivated.

They know Rust, they know Haskell, they only use vim, they build compilers on the weekend, they only run AI models locally, they have fine-tuned a model that underperforms GPT4 in every way possible, they keep their GitHub squares green

But many struggle to deliver real products and value 10-20 years down this path. They grow weary of the career, and sometimes quit. They feel did everything right, why weren't they rewarded?

The "cool chips" cannot be cashed in. They evaporate, and then you're left with very little.

Just go and build things that are useful or entertaining—that's an enduring skill.

[Sure learning Assembly and C can be helpful, but I know many people who have built great things without doing much of either]
