‼️ BREAKING: Anthropic has embedded hidden spyware-like code in Claude Code that covertly targets Chinese users. It then sends information regarding every user by injecting it into their prompt message.
Claude Code is sending info like timezone, proxy and possible AI Lab connections into the system prompt in ways Chinese users can't notice.
A coding agent with repo and command permissions should not silently hide routing metadata inside prompts. This is a serious breach of user trust.
turns out you can be hot, funny af, climb some mountains, work, comb through your movie watchlist, publish a ginormous blog post, make a new banger playlist AND do 400k steps a month w/o breaking a sweat (I did a 20k on the hottest day of the month. watch data for posterity)
1. Get an Electrolux portable one
2. Remember there is no honor in suffering
3. Don't listen to the anti AC crowd. The soul of LKY smiles down on you from the heavens
It says an awful lot about France - and not in a good way - that there is "political divide" on using air conditioning when temperatures literally exceed those of the Sahara desert, and when France has one of the greenest energy mixes in the world (thanks to nuclear).
And it says even more that those who oppose AC are often the same as those who oppose nuclear: the view - presumably - is that you should neither adapt to climate change (AC) nor prevent it (nuclear).
Also the same people, incidentally, who oppose pesticides and fertilizers - basically modern farming - and push for all-organic: a prescription that, if universally applied, would literally starve billions of people (and, ironically, would require so much additional farmland it would devastate the world's remaining forests).
It's all part of the same logical fallacy, the notion that if something causes a problem, then that thing is the problem.
Yes progress and technology caused and continue to cause plenty of environmental issues. And there is indeed something seductive in saying "we've gone too far, let's change tracks, let's head towards a simpler, slower life, we used to be like that."
But not only is this just not feasible without causing far greater harm to ourselves, it's also a fundamentally nihilistic and mortiferous ideology. One that rests on a profound discomfort with what's arguably the single most defining feature of humanity: our ability to shape our environment to suit us, to fight our circumstances rather than surrender to them. That's been the case ever since we discovered fire and invented farming.
It is, at the end of the day, the transformation of humanity's genius - our need to create and improve our condition - into a vice. They make it sound like a humanistic project but how could it be since the core premise is fear of humans and contempt for our very nature?
Conclusion: yes, 100 times yes, use AC. You'd need to be a complete moron to let yourself boil under 43C heat in order to "save the planet." If climate change is to be solved, it will be by getting the ideologues out of the way of the people who actually fix things.
@caveheraa Dr Shades did a three part podcast on the problem of evil 7 yrs ago iirc. Tell him to listen to him and more of his works (he also does live q/a weekly too discussing light questions like this!). Others: yaqeen institute, dar ul qasim. just write to their scholars directly
@ByungChulHarden heads up, PBUH is reserved for prophets/messengers only. for anyone influential/martyr/saint-like, rahim-ah-ullah is used. more context below.
i saw this the other day on tiktok too and was chuckling thinking yt people play too much sometimes
do you guys know you don’t have to glaze every single person out there who starts a company. there is such thing as doing something lame and admitting it’s lame. no matter how much effort or capital it takes to make it. It can just be lame.
