@Huntn00 @cwicseolfor I don't believe any such plan would ever be agreed. We aren't sensible creatures, like the ten-spined sticklebacks, that all become #gay when their #food #supply is too low to #support their #population, & only become #straight again when it can feed them all, so it will be #Gaia that will impose her #solution on us. We WON'T like it!

Hephaestus

Author’s Note: This post has mentions of (g)rape. If this is triggering, please go on to 1 of our other posts.

He’s the Greek god of artisans, blacksmiths, carpenters, craftsmen, fire, metallurgy, metalworking, sculpture, & volcanoes.

In Greek mythology, Hephaestus was the son of Hera, either on her own or her husband/brother, Zeus. He was cast off Mount Olympus by his mom, Hera, because of his lameness, the result of a congenital impairment. Or, in another account, by Zeus for protecting Hera from his advances.

As a smithing god, Hephaestus created all the weapons of the gods on Olympus. He served as the blacksmith of the gods & was worshipped in the manufacturing & industrial centers of Greece, particularly Athens. The cult of Hephaestus was based in Lemnos. Hephaestus’ symbols are a smith’s hammer, anvil, & a pair of tongs. In Rome, he was equated with Vulcan.

In Hesiod’s Theogony, Hera gives birth to Hephaestus on her own, out of revenge for Zeus having, without her, fathered Athena (the daughter of Zeus & Metis). Apollodorus similarly states that Hera gives birth to Hephaestus alone. Though according to Homer, Hephaestus is 1 of the kids of Zeus & Hera.

Some sources state that the origin myth of Hephaestus was that of a “daemon of fire coming up from the Earth,” that he was also associated with gas “which takes fire & burns & is considered by many people to be divine” & that only later was a volcano considered Hephaestus’ smithy.

He was associated by Greek colonists in southern Italy with the volcano gods Adranus (of Mount Etna) & Vulcanus of the Lipari islands.

The 1st-century sage, Apollonius of Tyana, is said to have observed, “there are many other mountains all over the earth that are on fire, & yet we should never be done with it if we assigned to them giants & gods like Hephaestus.” Nevertheless, Hephaestus’ domain over fire goes back to Homer’s Iliad, where he uses flames to dry the waters of the Scamander River in order to force its eponymous deity, who was attacking Achilles, to retreat.

His favorite place in our mere mortal world was the island of Lemnos. He liked to live among the Sintians. But he also repeatedly went to other volcanic islands like Lipari, Imbros, & Sicily, which were called his abodes/workshops. In 1 version of events, Hera rejects, then ejects Hephaestus from Olympus/the heavens because of his congenital impairment. (It’s implied that his congenital disability is because of Zeus & Hera’s familial relationship, i.e. brother & sister.)

Because of Hera’s actions, he fell into the ocean & of Hera’s actions, he fell into the ocean & was raised by Thetis (Achilles’ mom & 1 of the 50 Nereids) & Eurynome, the Oceanid. In another version, Hephaestus, attempting to rescue his mom from Zeus’ advances, was cast down to earth by Zeus, not Hera!

He (Hephaestus) was cast down for 1 whole day & landed on the island of Lemnos. On Lemnos, he was cared for & taught to be a master craftsman by the Sintians. Later writers describe his physical disability as a result of his 2nd fall. While Homer makes him disabled from birth.

Hephaestus was 1 of the Olympians who came back to Olympus after being exiled. In an archaic story, Hephaestus wanted revenge against Hera for rejecting him by forging her a magical golden throne, which, when she sat on it, didn’t let her stand up again.

The other gods begged Hephaestus to return to Olympus to let her go. But he refused, saying, “I’ve no mom.” It was Ares who undertook the task of fetching Hephaestus at 1st. But he was threatened by the fire god with torches. At last, Dionysus (the wine god) fetched him, got him drunk on wine, & took the subdued smith back to Olympus on the back of a mule, accompanied by revelers.

According to Hyginus, Zeus promised anything to Hephaestus to free Hera. Hephaestus asked for Athena’s hand in marriage (urged by Poseidon, who was hostile toward Athena), leading to his attempted (g)raping of the goddess, who rejected his advances.

In another version, he demanded to be married to Aphrodite to release Hera, & his mom fulfilled the request. Hephaestus had his own palace on Olympus, containing his workshop with an anvil(s) & 20 bellows that worked at his bidding.

He crafted much of the magnificent equipment of the gods, & almost any finely wrought metalwork imbued with powers that appears in Greek myth is said to have been forged by Hephaestus. He designed all the thrones in the Olympian palace, the Aegis breastplate, Hermes’ (not the fashion house) winged helmet & sandals, Aphrodite’s famous girdle, Eros’ bow & arrows, Helios’ chariot, Heracles’ bronze clappers, & the shoulder of Pelops.

Hephaestus also created the gift that the gods gave to mankind: the 1st woman, Pandora, & her pithos (a large jar)/box. In some versions, Prometheus stole the fire that he gave to man from Hephaestus’ forge. Hephaestus gave to the blinded Orion his apprentice Cedalion as a guide. In later accounts, Hephaestus worked with the Cyclopes Brontes, Steropes, & Arges, who were highly skilled blacksmiths in their own right & forged Zeus’ thunderbolts, Poseidon’s trident, & Hades’ helmet of darkness/invisibility.

According to Homer, Hephaestus built automatons of metal to work for him or others. This includes tripods with golden wheels, able to move at his wish in & out of the assembly hall of the celestials; & “handmaidens wrought of gold in the semblance of living maids,” who had “understanding in their hearts, & speech & strength,” as a gift of the gods.

They moved to support Hephaestus while walking. Hephaestus also put golden & silver lions & dogs at the entrance of the palace of Alkinoos in such a way that they could bite the invaders. These guard dogs didn’t age or perish. (So does this mean that they could possibly still be around, hidden somewhere? Like the Nag Hammadi library.)

A similar golden dog was set by Rhea to guard the infant Zeus & his nurse (the goat Amaltheia) on the island of Krete/Crete. Later, Tantalus was said to have stolen the automaton when it guarded Zeus’ temple, or to have persuaded Pandareos to steal it for him.

Later texts attempt to replace the automaton with the idea that the golden dog was actually Rhea, transformed by Hephaestus. Hephaestus fought against the giants & killed Mimas by throwing molten iron at him. He also fought another giant, Aristaeus, but he fled.

During the battle, Hephaestus fell down exhausted & was picked up by Helios in his chariot. As a gift of gratitude, Hephaestus forged 4 ever-flowing fountains & fire-breathing bulls for Helios’ son Aeetus. At the marriage of Peleus & Thetis, Hephaestus gave a knife as a wedding present.

When the Trojan War began, Hephaestus sided with the Greeks & forged the armor of Achilles, the cuirass of Diomedes, & Agamemnon’s staff of office. But Hephaestus was also worshipped by the Trojans & saved 1 of their men from being killed by Diomedes.

Though she was married to Hephaestus, Aphrodite had an affair with Ares, the god of war. Eventually, Hephaestus discovered Aphrodite’s affair through Helios, the all-seeing sun (We’re gonna circle back to this. Keep this in mind.), & planned a trap during 1 of their trysts.

While the lovers lay together in bed, Hephaestus ensnared them in an unbreakable chain-link net so small as to be invisible & dragged them to Mount Olympus to shame them in front of the other gods for retribution. The gods had a good laugh at the sight of these unclothed adulterers. Poseidon persuaded Hephaestus to free them in return for a guarantee that Ares would pay the adulterers’ fine, or Poseidon would pay it himself.

In The Odyssey, Hephaestus says he would give Aphrodite back to Zeus & demand back his bride price. Some versions of the myth state that Zeus didn’t return the dowry. In fact, Aphrodite “simply charmed her way back again into her husband’s good graces.”

In The Iliad, Hephaestus is described as being married to the Grace named Charis during the events depicted in the Trojan War. While in Theogeny, he’s married to the Grace named Aglaea, with no indication of having ever been married to Aphrodite.

In Dionysiaca by Nonnus explicitly stated that, though Hephaestus & Aphrodite were once married (she’s referred to as his “ancient wife”). They’ve since separated & Hephaestus is now married to Charis.

Here’s the keep-in-mind part: In a later detail, Ares put the young soldier, Alectryon, by their door to warn them of Helios’ arrival, as he suspected that Helios would tell Hephaestus of Aphrodite’s infidelity if the 2 were discovered. But Alectryon fell asleep on guard duty. Helios finds the 2 & alerts Hephaestus. Ares, in a rage, turned Alectryon into a rooster, which always crows at dawn when the sun is about to rise.

The Thebans said that the spicy time union of Ares & Aphrodite produced Harmonia. But that of the union of Hephaestus with Aphrodite, there’s usually no issue. Because Harmonia was conceived during Aphrodite’s marriage to Hephaestus, for revenge, on Harmonia’s wedding day to Cadmus, Hephaestus gifted her with a finely worked but cursed necklace that brought immense suffering to her descendants, culminating in Oedipus. (Check out our post on Oedipus.)

An Athenian founding myth tells the city’s patron goddess, Athena, refused a union (spicy time) with Hephaestus. Pseudo-Apollodorus records an archaic legend, which claims that Hephaestus once tried to (g)rape Athena. But she pushed him away, causing him to ejaculate on her thigh.

Athena wiped the happy time juice off using a tuft of wool. She tossed it into the dust. This impregnated Gaia (his own great-grandma). This caused her to give birth to King Erichthonius, whom Athena adopted as her own kid.

It's not difficult to extrapolate from an understanding of #homeostasis as noted in individuals to population and ecological community levels. Alas, #fossilfuel companies encouraged #Lovelock and #Margulis in their #Gaia research, as it was surmised their findings would lull the general public to believe the earth would self-regulate regardless of levels of pollution. It probably did help with the propaganda.

To maintain homeostasis, however, always requires an #EROEI. We have dysregulated the ecological homeostasis. When it costs as much to sell and ship an item as we can make from doing so, we will stop doing so. Ships, aircraft, trains, barges and trucks are vulnerable to this. WE are vulnerable to this. >>

If this isn't evidence for the Gaia hypothesis, I don't know what would be. It's literally an induced, prophylactic immune response to one of the most unsustainable food systems humans have. Now if we could just have a highly contagious, otherwise symptomless STD that (after a variable incubation period) caused sterility and a distinctive facial scar for any human attempting to use a car or lorry...

Как тестируют кодинг-агентов в 2026 — и почему вашему продакшну нужен свой бенчмарк

Ни для кого не секрет, что эра «спросить что-то у GPT» постепенно уходит в прошлое. На смену генеративному AI приходит Agentic AI, который не просто проконсультирует, а по вашему запросу придёт и сделает все сам. То же самое и с кодовыми агентами, они не просто отвечают на вопросы, они читают документацию, работают в терминале, дёргают API, правят файлы и в идеале закрывают задачу целиком, от тикета до мёрж-реквеста. Звучит здорово, пока не выясняется, что ваш агент починил баг, сломав при этом три соседних модуля, или молча проигнорировал половину требований из задачи. Короче говоря, агенты умеют халтурить, и делают это красиво. А значит, их нужно постоянно тестировать. Причем тестировать в условиях, максимально приближённых к рабочим: с реальным репозиторием, CI-пайплайном и набором тестов, которые не обманешь. Именно для этого в AI-сообществе появился целый класс таких инструментов как бенчмарки и песочницы, заточенные под оценку агентов. В этой статье мы разберём, какие подходы к тестированию кодинг-агентов существуют сегодня, в чём их сильные и слабые стороны, и расскажем, как мы в

Alors que la notion de zone critique a émergé dans les sciences de la Terre pour désigner cette fine pellicule située entre la canopée des arbres et les eaux souterraines — là où se jouent toutes les conditions d’habitabilité de la planète —, comment représenter un espace en perpétuel mouvement, animé par les flux de matière, d’énergie et les activités du vivant ? Comment ce terme de "zone" entre-t-il en résonance avec l’histoire des grands processus — urbanisation, industrialisation, extraction — qui ont précisément contribué à la dégradation de ces conditions ? Que révèle-t-il de notre rapport à la Terre, dans ses dimensions aussi bien physiques et écologiques que sociales ? À travers le croisement de perspectives scientifiques, philosophiques et artistiques, cette rencontre propose de réfléchir à la zone comme à un espace de crise mais aussi de potentialité : un lieu où se rejouent les formes de vie, de récit et d’engagement sur une Terre en mutation.

This makes me think of Gaia, the theory of James Lovelock.

The Internet of Nature. Information exchange between prey and predator; between two species that eat the same food; or from the environment.

This is a great story about how the Gaia hypothesis originated. And there's an uncredited woman (again) at its heart.

" ...it was a whole new way of thinking about life on Earth. ... life does not just adapt to the environment, it also shapes it. ... Life was no longer just a passive object of change; it was an agent. The couple ... were pioneers making an intellectual journey nobody had made before."
