Hey @grok, if gender is a social construct then mustn't it be ontologically dependent on collective human practices, norms, language, institutions, and shared agreements?
In other words a tranny doesn't get to pick their gender; rather, the rest of society picks it for them?
It's astounding that the people doing this aren't simply being killed in the streets. Can you imagine permanently disfiguring someone's child and somehow thinking you'll continue to live your life normally?
🇺🇸 “As red states ban sex-rejecting procedures for minors, and the Department of Justice shuts down pediatric transgender facilities at hospitals, the business is going underground. Two reports published this week reveal the degree to which the industry that performs sex-rejecting procedures on children relies on subterfuge and sneaking.”

Look I'm not religious but this is the exact opposite of how missionaries work. It's more like: Hey you look like you need water. Here, take this. Let me make sure you are safe and well. Now that you're ok, would you mind if I share the faith that brings me here?
Let's use a car analogy to examine how stupid the French internet tax is.
A normal tax is a small fraction of the price.
The price to transmit 1GB is around $0.0005. A $0.05 tax is a 10000% tax.
In the US, it would be like charging a $500 tax on every $5 gallon of gas.
The cyber stuff just gets tiresome. I have daybreak, but this task isn't security related - it's a MTL4/Vulkan translation layer in Darling. But, it's tracking down a crash bug and ... boom.
@thsottiaux this is a pretty major usability issue for codex that Claude solves well.
This isn't rare - I woke up to two of these refusals which totally stalled each task.
Daybreak is also problematic as it's quite paranoid - so it freaks out about unimportant things like (for example) host key mismatches on a Macbook that I am rebooting between MacOS/Linux.
In all cases the solution is to ask Claude to take over and I know you guys don't want that.
I took a look at this stupid French internet tax bill. Here are the key provisions:
1) The tax is capped at 15% of French revenue. So even though NFLX sends like 200EB/$11B the tax is capped at 15% of $1.6B or about $250 million.
2) You're still charged for using a CDN - and from my reading I think this would include bittorrent. The tax isn't actually on bandwidth into France. They're taxing local traffic too.
3) The mechanism is requiring French ISPs to measure and identify traffic -- and is very confused and likely technically infeasible. The law itself makes a number of technical errors, confusing IANA registration identity with traffic production. It is likely impossible to implement as written. The tax is on the aggregate data sent, not on individual users.
4) It has other very stupid objectives like encouraging companies to use better compression technologies (as if we weren't already)
The best way to view this bill is an attempt to impose a flat 15% tax on any company sending data to French users.

this is a whole ass thing.
if someone tried to write code by hand right now i’d say get this bioslop out of here
When people tell you that transition clinics save lives and detransition clinics aren't necessary they are lying. You can point them at the facts, here.
Only deransition (returning to health) should be covered by insurance.
Fox Varian’s “top surgery” was covered by Child Health Plus - New York’s taxpayer-funded kids’ plan.
Her revision surgery after detransitioning was "cosmetic" so denied coverage - the family paid $6-8k for it.
A fraudulent diagnosis was the only was listed in her preop clinic visits and was the one most likely used to get her gender surgery covered by taxpayers.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 1347, knowingly using false diagnoses as part of a scheme to obtain insurance payment can constitute criminal federal healthcare fraud.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 1035, it is a federal crime to knowingly provide materially false statements in medical records or other documents related to healthcare services or insurance payment.
"Normal" clinics don't exist. These facilities are run by radical manipulators who pressure children into surgical abuse. It is conversion therapy to make kids trans.
These facts have been laid out quite plainly in the various detransitioner lawsuits.
Trans is not a sexuality - it does not describe what kind of person you're attracted to.
Trans is a mental disorder and it correlates strongly with other extremely dangerous disorders.
A transgender school bus driver in Canada has filed a human rights complaint after losing his job for wearing a pink schoolgirl uniform while on duty and calling his bus "the Lolita Line."
Parents confronted the driver last year, leading to his dismissal.

Did you know that in MN it's illegal to have sex with a member of the clergy if you've asked them for spiritual advice or any kind of comfort? It's also illegal to have sex with your Uber driver if you're disabled.
Just cut a task to implement kgdb support in xodb, might as well show off what it can do if it's potentially going to get axed. We already do gdb-remote.
I'm also eyeballing ways to potentially maintain functionality post-patch eg what's described here lkml.org/lkml/2026/10/29/120…
