This is wonderful! An important and poignant message, delivered exquisitely. Bravo
Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.
I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

Once an executive freely ignores court orders it is pretty much constitutional 'game over'.
The constitution cannot resolve tensions between the executive and the law if the executive does not abide by court determinations.
That's it.

I am very much enjoying this too. Skyrim vibes. Third person FTW
Update. Still playing #Avowed. It’s still gorgeous. Still free on GamePass. Still runs on Xbox and PC and save games roam. Still absolutely massive and I’m having a delightful time.
Man I’m REALLY enjoying #Avowed. Took an hour before I got the hang of it but it’s had me in a CHOKEHOLD this weekend for many hours. It’s free on GamePass and the saves can roam between PC and Xbox. And it’s amazing in 4k 120Hz on Xbox Series X. Absolutely gorgeous and fun. I play in 3rd person.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.
I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

If you want to be able to delete stuff then having a record of what you created is important.

Why do Terraform, Pulumi, Helm, and other IaC / K8s tools store state? What challenges does it cause? What are the primary sources of those challenges?
