#Conway's game of #Life is entertaining and worth looking at. Simple rules produce complexity, for instance the #glider, a figure which migrates across the board or space, and the glider gun, which spits them out.
The #vonNeuman machine conceptually makes more of itself. See the #monolith in #ACClarke's #2001aspaceodyssey or perhaps #saberhagen 's #Berserkers #SciFi
Imagine a #drone #factory which hides, moves, and spits out drones which attack the enemy.
Could get messy.

A new tech-friendly governor?
The California governor’s race has been a crowded field without notable frontrunners.
#Newsom had been a long-time friend of the tech industry, hosting Google’s #Page and #Brin as guests at his wedding
and referring to Salesforce chief executive Marc #Benioff as “family”.
His departure appears to have Silicon Valley fretting.#Singleton, from the Chamber of Progress, said Newsom had long recognized “how pivotal the technology industry is in California”.
But then, late last month, Matt #Mahan, a moderate Democrat and the mayor of San Jose, announced his candidacy.
Before Mahan got involved in politics in 2020, he had a career in the tech sector.
He was an undergraduate at Harvard with Zuckerberg,
and in 2014 co-founded a startup with funding from #Conway, #Benioff and Napster co-founder Sean #Parker.Mahan appears to be the savior the tech industry had been searching for.
Since his candidacy announcement just two weeks ago,
⚠️millions have poured into his campaign.According to public records, he’s received donations from several venture capitalists,
along with Roblox CEO David #Baszucki, Y Combinator CEO Garry #Tan, GitHub co-founder Chris #Wanstrath, Cloudkitchen co-founder Diego #Berdakin, and Ring founder #Siminoff.Mahan has even courted donors who helped launch companies known for working with the Trump administration,
including Palantir co-founder Joe #Lonsdale and Anduril co-founder Matt #Grimm and his wife Kimberly Grimm, according to public records.Google’s #Brin has also backed Mahan, maxing out the limit for an individual campaign donation at $78,400.
Several of Mahan’s other tech backers also maxed out their donations.
🔥At this point, Mahan has now raised more than double the two most prominent democrats in the race, ⭐️Eric Swalwell
and ⭐️Katie Porter.As political races and ballot measure campaigns continue to heat up across California in 2026, tech’s influence is only expected to grow.
“It’s going to be a fun session,” Singleton said. That’s for sure.”

Outcry over taxes is just one of the ways the tech sector is ramping up its influence campaign.
Several Super Pacs have popped up over the past few months and tech is injecting these committees with tens of millions.McCuan said this strategy is helpful for the ultra-wealthy because it allows them to
stay behind the scenes,
while donating limitless money.“You could create some amorphous sounding organization like
‘Californians for All That is Good and Right Under the Sun’,” McCuan said.
“And who knows what the hell that is, but that entity becomes the vehicle to which others give money … and it becomes very difficult to unpeel and unfurl what is going on.”#Meta launched two new Super Pacs last fall, which are focused on dialing back AI regulation and supporting AI-friendly candidates.
The company contributed
$45m to one, the "American Technology Excellence Project", which will operate in several states but hasn’t yet established a committee in California.The other, "Mobilizing Economic Transformation Across" (Meta) California, is state-specific and has received one
$20m contribution from Meta.The social media giant has also matched #Google in infusing a separate Super Pac called "California Leads" with a total of $10m.
Ron #Conway, a longtime Democratic tech donor, has also donated $100,000 to this committee,
which says it aims to support favorable candidates in the state but will not just focus on issues affecting the tech industry, according to Politico.The #crypto industry is getting into Super Pacs too, debuting a group called "Grow California".
The committee opened with $10m from crypto executive Chris #Larsen and evangelist Tim #Draper.
Larsen told the New York Times he plans to give $30m more.
The focus of Grow California is to “rebuild a state capital” and shape the state’s legislature.“We have a group of people who are not acting in a pragmatic way.
They’re not looking for balance. They’re completely #fucking owned by one side,”
Larsen, who’s the chair of crypto company #Ripple, told Politico.
“So we’re going to work on taking out those people who are not working for the people of California.”While the tech industry is now pushing its influence at the state level,
San Francisco has already experienced many of these same tactics at the city level.
Backed with Silicon Valley money, several different
501(c)(4) groups formed over the past couple election cycles
to throw support behind preferred mayoral and board of supervisor candidates.They also bankrolled successful recall campaigns for a progressive district attorney and members of the school board.

Trump adds five new handlers as he tries to find attack lines against Harris
Trump brought Taylor #Budowich, Alex #Pfeiffer and Alex #Bruesewitz from the Trump-aligned "Maga Inc" political action committee,
as well as previous Trump campaign veterans Corey #Lewandowski and Tim #Murtaugh.The new additions are coming onto the Trump campaign as "senior advisers", meaning they are lateral hires to a campaign still being run by co-campaign chiefs Susie #Wiles and Chris #LaCivita, the people said.
Lewandowski previously ran the 2016 campaign but does not have the same role now.
He has remained an "informal adviser" to Trump since the first presidential campaign, and will continue that function but in a more formal capacity through the final stretch to November, one of the people said.Murtaugh, who was the communications director for the 2020 campaign, is returning in a broader role, as will Budowich, Pfeiffer and Bruesewitz, one of the people said.
Bruesewitz has a large online following and is expected to help direct social outreach.
The additions came after senior aides on the Trump campaign found themselves open to criticism and challenges to their positions after perhaps the rockiest stretch for the campaign since it launched in 2022, the Guardian has previously reported.The summer months have historically been the time that Trump makes changes to his campaign chiefs, as he did in 2016 when he installed Kellyanne #Conway, Steve #Bannon, and David #Bossie to take the reins,
as well as in 2020, when he replaced Brad Parscale with Bill #Stepien.The past month has been bad enough for the Trump campaign that advisers have taken those challenges
– whether from enemies real or perceived
– as serious threats or slights that necessitate devoting time and effort to #slap #down -
Former Trump administration official #Kellyanne #Conway has registered as a #foreign #agent representing Ukrainian billionaire Victor #Pinchuk's foundation, new foreign lobbying disclosure reports show.
In 2015, the Ukrainian steel magnate donated $150,000 to former President Donald Trump's charitable organization to book the then-presidential candidate to speak at a conference in Kyiv.
The donation was later reportedly investigated by special counsel Robert #Mueller's team in connection with their probe into Trump's and his campaign's alleged role in Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, according to The New York Times.
Mueller's final report did not specifically address this donation.
Yalta European Strategy's annual gathering, also known as #YES, is the same conference that Trump attended virtually in 2015,
allegedly in exchange for Pinchuk's donation.Conway's role as an agent for Pinchuk's foundation also includes engaging U.S. political leaders and experts to "explain the importance of Ukraine to the rules-based order and the protection of democratic principles,"
and contributing to "raising awareness among US decision makers of Ukrainians' fight for freedom and the Russian illegal war of aggression," according to the disclosure filing.She is also tasked with assisting with organizing meetings between U.S. political leaders and Ukrainian soldiers and veterans,
and to keep Pinchuk informed of the process and achievements,
per the disclosure filing.Conway is set to be paid $50,000 a month for her services throughout the contract, which runs from July 25 through Nov. 14, 2024, with an option to extend it, according to their service agreement.

Year in and year out, #Christian #nationalists strategize and organize via a seemingly never-ending stream of
conferences, trainings, and other offerings conducted or provided by influential Christian political nonprofits such as:♦️Turning Point USA (TPUSA), an extremist student group co-founded by Charlie #Kirk and Bill #Montgomery, who died of COVID-19 complications. TPUSA’s specialty is training students to harass “liberal” professors and public school boards. It partners with far right propagandist Jack Posobiec, who is infamous for his viral propaganda campaigns, including the “groomers” campaign launched against Disney after it withdrew support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Kirk hopes to open his own network of private Christian academies across the country.
♦️Wallbuilders, a nonprofit founded by pseudo-historian David #Barton, a leading opponentof the separation between church and state. Barton–who offers “biblical citizenship training” with ♦️Patriot Academy founder Rick #Green–also promotes the militant “black robe regiment” movement and wrote a book about it.
♦️United in Purpose (UIP), a Christian data targeting firm founded by convicted embezzler Bill #Dallas. UIP’s board has included David Barton and former congressman Bob #McEwen. UIP was involved in a massive voter data breach in 2015, as we previously reported. In or around 2020, UIP formed a group called♦️ Ziklag, which pairs wealthy Christian donors with Christian political projects and organizations. UIP also launched a website called EveryLegalVote.com, which promoted “Stop the Steal” rallies and related “action items,” although UIP’s name was removed from the website soon after it launched. (Image via @visionsurreal.)
♦️Truth and Liberty Coalition, which focuses on taking over public school boards in Colorado and beyond. The nonprofit is led by Andrew #Wommack who owns the Charis Bible College franchise and has said that members of the LGBTQ community should wear warning labels on their foreheads. Truth and Liberty’s board of directors includes Wallbuilders founder David Barton and NAR leader Lance #Wallnau, who has said that we must “destroy the public education system before it destroys America,” as reported in Elle Hardy’s book 🔹Beyond Belief: How Pentecostal Christianity is Taking Over the World. 🔹Truth and Liberty’s website includes a list of “influencers” that includes Rep. Lauren #Boebert (R-CO).
Truth and Liberty has worked with John #Guandolo of Understanding the Threat. Guandolo is a disgraced former FBI agent and anti-Muslim activist. As first reported by Right Wing Watch, Guandalo “has begun offering training sessions for right-wing citizens on how to take over their towns, arrest their mayors, and destroy the lives of anyone who objects by publicly humiliating them, getting them fired…, and forcing them to move.”♦️Patriot Academy founded by Rick #Green. The organization partners with David Barton (of Wallbuilders) in providing “biblical citizenship training.”
♦️The Oak Initiative founded by Rick #Joyner who advocated a military coup against Obama in 2013 or 2014. Rep. Louie #Gohmert (R-TX) attended one of their summits virtually in 2015. NAR leaders Lance Wallnau and Cindy Jacobs are on the board.
♦️The Council for National Policy, a secretive umbrella and strategy group for billionaires and the leaders of most prominent Christian Right organizations. Steve #Bannon, KellyAnne #Conway, Ali #Alexander, Charlie #Kirk, Ginni #Thomas, Cleta #Mitchell, Bill #Dallas, Tony #Perkins, and Ralph #Reed have all been members. Michael #Flynn has been involved with them too.♦️The Family Research Council founded by Tony #Perkins, which hosts the influential 🔸Pray Vote Stand Summit 🔸(previously the Values Voter Summit) and a pastors roundtable called 🔸“Watchmen on the Wall.”
♦️The Faith and Freedom Coalition (FFC) founded by Ralph #Reed. FFC’s website says that FFC knocked on more than 8 million doors before the midterm election and held its annual 🔸Road to Majority Policy🔸 conference in June this year. Its website says the conference “equips attendees with the knowledge and connections they need to drive engagement and voter turnout. The June 2022 gathering accelerated conservatives further down the road to majority ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.”
♦️The Family Leader, which held a Family Leadership summit in July this year. Its president and CEO is Bob Vander #Plaats. Its website called its annual summit the “Midwest’s biggest gathering of Christians seeking cultural transformation in the family, church, government and more.”

On a personal level, Conway gives a hefty share of the credit for her accomplishments to gender transition itself.
"I can’t explain any other way how I could have done what I did," she says.
"I actually became a really different person.”
“Being able to see a moment and be decisive and seize it, and make it happen,” she continues.
“Getting other people all fired up, and working together towards [a] shared mission… new capabilities I didn’t have before,
that completely enhanced my feeling of being alive."That is why she believes that trans people are unusually likely to have ideas ahead of their time,
or to be at the forefront of new artistic or technological movements."We are highly empowered
– in ways that people may not understand
– because of the joyfulness we feel in having been able to do what we do in spite of the difficulties," she says.Despite this, Conway is keen to be seen first and foremost as a talented engineer.
She urges me to read a recent interview with the pop star Kim Petras, who said:
"I just so happen to be transgender, but that’s not all I am... reaching equality is being able to be known as a great artist.”Perhaps there is no contradiction. Conway appears to see transition as just one of many "profound" experiences that can give someone a risk-taking edge
or an unusual perspective,
likening it to a particularly immersive adventure sport.Gender, race, disability, innovation and oppression: as ever for Conway, it’s all connected.
Today she is still drawing connections.
She regularly chats with academics and engineers across the world, sending LinkedIn messages to strangers she finds interesting.
She is well abreast of the microchip war between China and the West,
and sees in artificial intelligences such as ChatGPT the potential for another "unfolding" that multiplies ordinary people’s abilities."Things are changing so fast that every few years is sort of like decades," she says.
"Forces are clashing, and it’s either headed into something joyous or it’s going to go ‘boom’."
Humanity, she argues, is caught in a race between the escalating speed of change and our limited ability to predict and adapt to it.
The current backlash against trans rights is one manifestation of this dynamic;
the next may be over cybernetic "amplification" of our bodies and minds.Nevertheless, Conway is hopeful for the future,
and for trans people’s role in it
– not least because transitioning is "just too much fun" to stop people from doing it."We’re going to watch the trans community become a powerful force
for novel and exciting views about life that have not surfaced before," she says."And people are going to want to listen to what we have to say
– not because we’re trans, but because we’re delivering goods."And [eventually] they forget you’re trans, and wonder ‘how did you get that way?’
And then you can tell them:
‘Well, I lived a pretty adventurous life.’" -
[Перевод] Разбираемся с coroutine в Kotlin — 1
Я начну от идеи и истоков и надеюсь дойти до понимания реализации в Kotlin. Мне удалось найти статью Design of a Separable Transition-diagram Compiler от 1963 года. Люди пишут, что это одно из самых ранних упоминаний идеи корутин. В статье есть часть с названием "Coroutines and Separable Programs", про которую я узнал из поста Why using Kotlin Coroutines? . С этой части, а точнее с ее перевода я и начну. Назад в прошлое

Wow! Just Wow:
Judicial activist directed fees to Clarence Thomas’s wife, urged ‘no mention of Ginni’Conservative judicial activist #Leonard #Leo arranged for the wife of Supreme Court Justice #Clarence #Thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work just over a decade ago, #specifying that her #name be #left #off #billing #paperwork, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
In January 2012, Leo instructed the GOP pollster #Kellyanne #Conway to bill a nonprofit group he advises and use that money to pay Virginia “#Ginni” Thomas, the documents show. The same year, the nonprofit, the #Judicial #Education #Project, filed a brief to the Supreme Court in a landmark #voting #rights #case.
Leo, a key figure in a network of nonprofits that has worked to support the nominations of conservative judges, told Conway that he wanted her to “give” Ginni Thomas “#another $25K,” the documents show. He emphasized that the paperwork should have “#No #mention #of #Ginni, of course.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/05/04/leonard-leo-clarence-ginni-thomas-conway/
