Cybernetics wasn't about robots as much as it was about systems that sense their environment, compare reality against a goal, act, observe the consequences, and adjust.

You've avoided nearly all of my questions, Norah, because you're literally incapable of answering them. Your mind is firmly closed to any evidence or facts that undermine your preferred narrative. You consider it immoral for anyone to even question you, even though you voluntarily and confidently entered this discussion. You're like a flat-earther. Nothing I or anyone else says to you will permeate your stubborn quasi-religious beliefs, because to change your mind would take away a core part of your self image, which is as somebody who is kinder and better and more righteous than the nasty people still advocating for the safety of women and girls.
You repeat your thought-terminating clichés and unevidenced assertions, which I assume sound clever inside your echo chamber, but which, outside it, make you appear not only dim, but a total moral vacuum. Increased risk to females? Who cares. Women threatened by violence? Of course those poor trans-identified men lash out when they meet resistance! What is a gender identity? You can't really say, but like the flat-earther, you're sure it exists, because your tribe is held together by belief in it, and pride themselves on their blind faith in it.
I keep waiting for a single gender ideologue or trans activist to truly engage with the facts, but all of you sheer away from them like horses from fireworks. It truly is like talking to cult members who're incapable of engaging in rational debate and just keep chanting the mantras, consigning all serious questions to the 'evil' bin.
I've been told I'm on the wrong side of history thousands of times. By debating people like you, I've come to realise that your ilk's idea of the 'right side of history' means stripping women and girls' of their rights, excusing male violence against women, siding with those issuing death and rape threats and attempting to suppress critical thought and freedom of speech.
Maybe, like the flat-earthers, you genuinely think history will vindicate you. I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers, while being completely indifferent to the real world harm they were enabling.

In races called, 17 senators are being replaced, already the biggest turnover in the chamber since 1980. The departing senators average age is 70, their replacements 55. The number of senators under 50 nearly doubles, from 8 to 15.

Important people know the backstory of this ad. @patrickgaspard gave me the idea to take her inexcusable gaffe and do something edgy with it that could get attention.
My content creator, @RyanSayles_ directed and edited it. He should be considered the breakout-star of this cycle. He’s going to be a giant in the media consultant game. He did GAME CHANGING work with SO little.

Background subagents in Claude Code now use less of your usage limit.
A running subagent updates its status line every 30 seconds, and each update used to re-read its whole conversation. Now Haiku 5.5 writes it from short notes instead, so each update costs about 99% less.

Kubernetes is beautiful.
Every Concept Has a Story, you just don't know it yet.
In k8s, you run your app as a pod. It runs your container. Then it crashes, and nobody restarts it. It is just gone.
So you use a Deployment. One pod dies and another comes back. You want 3 running, it keeps 3 running.
Every pod gets a new IP when it restarts. Another service needs to talk to your app but the IPs keep changing. You cannot hardcode them at scale.
So you use a Service. One stable IP that always finds your pods using labels, not IPs. Pods die and come back. The Service does not care.
But now you have 10 services and 10 load balancers. Your cloud bill does not care that 6 of them handle almost no traffic.
So you use Ingress. One load balancer, all services behind it, smart routing. But Ingress is just rules and nobody executes them.
So you add an Ingress Controller. Nginx, Traefik, AWS Load Balancer Controller. Now the rules actually work.
Your app needs config so you hardcode it inside the container. Wrong database in staging. Wrong API key in production. You rebuild the image every time config changes.
So you use a ConfigMap. Config lives outside the container and gets injected at runtime. Same image runs in dev, staging and production with different configs.
But your database password is now sitting in a ConfigMap unencrypted. Anyone with basic kubectl access can read it. That is not a mistake. That is a security incident.
So you use a Secret. Sensitive data stored separately with its own access controls. Your image never sees it.
Some days 100 users, some days 10,000. You manually scale to 8 pods during the spike and watch them sit idle all night. You cannot babysit your cluster forever.
So you use HPA. CPU crosses 70 percent and pods are added automatically. Traffic drops and they scale back down. You are not woken up at 2am anymore.
But now your nodes are full and new pods sit in Pending state. HPA did its job. Your cluster had nowhere to put the pods.
So you use Karpenter. Pods stuck in Pending and a new node appears automatically. Load drops and the node is removed. You only pay for what you actually use.
One pod starts consuming 4GB of memory and nobody told Kubernetes it was not supposed to. It starves every other pod on that node and a cascade begins. One rogue pod with no limits takes down everything around it.
So you use Resource Requests and Limits. Requests tell Kubernetes the minimum your pod needs to be scheduled. Limits make sure no pod can steal from everything around it. Your cluster runs predictably.

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA AND IT'S BRUTAL.
Corporate profits up 47% since 2020.
Worker wages up 12% in the same period.
Meanwhile groceries up 35%, rent up 40%, utilities up 28%.
Your paycheck grew 12%. Your bills grew 35%.
The math is simple: you're getting poorer every year even when you get a raise.
You can't budget your way out of this. The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses.
That's not an accident. That's policy.

Men do not belong in women’s sports. It’s not controversial, it’s not radical. Stop allowing this to happen. Shame on every parent in her school district.

Look at how narrow the margin is: 56.74% who voted to protect female sports, and 43.26% who voted to remove the rights of women and girls.
But fortunately, common sense ultimately prevailed, which is a huge win in a place like Washington state.
🚨#BreakingNews Washington voters overwhelmingly voted to restrict biological boys from competing in female sports with statewide results of 56.74% (1,117,424 votes) to 43.26% (851,957 votes).

In a deep blue state in a blue tsunami election, biological reality is winning. Biological reality is non partisan.
Washington voters appear to be passing an initiative that would require athletes to participate in sports based on their gender at birth.
