If Congress declared an actual war and if they declared to use war time laws to force a private company to comply with the war effort, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

What happened was different: a private company decided to enforce some terms, as they can do during peace time and they have been bullied in a way that is disgraceful precisely because it didn't happen during war time nor it has been done using the existing laws around that.

What is the purpose of having laws in the first place if we accept that the government can rule by intimidation?

I think the relevant problem of rust to this thread is not that it's unstable (it isn't unstable!) but it can be argued that it's a moving target

There is "engineering, the discipline", "engineering, the process", "engineering, the vocation, the career path, the learning process" (and many more). Each hat an engineer wears (based on age and context (has its peculiar aspects which might appear to be contradictory with other phases and not all people walked and thrived through all the phases.

Fwiw I'm having a good experience with a skill using Jira CLI directly. My first attempt using a Jira MCP failed. I didn't invest much time debugging the MCP issues, I just switched to the skill and it just worked.

Yes occasionally Claude uses the wrong flag and it has to retry the command (I didn't even bother to fork the skill and add some memory about the bad flag) but in practice it just works

This remains a problem for the personal account though (arguably what "primary account" meant in GP)

Can that account be upgraded to Workspace just to get the support?

If you can't access your account to upgrade it then I assume not

Nothing is contradictory if you don't think

Is it possible there are mine fields that are not known yet?

Poe's law?

So implement four of them, and you will know them all! First Forth with indirect threaded code, second Forth with direct threaded code, third Forth with subroutine threaded code, and the final fourth with token threaded code.

You jest, but I did end up doing just that in my implementation (https://github.com/romforth/romforth) trying to shoehorn a Forth implementation into a MSP430 device with just 2KB ROM + 128 byte RAM

Interesting. I have a slightly off topic question: do you agree that there are no good newbie programming manual for msp430? in comparison to Arduino or PIC etc

I thought this was going to be a pun on the word "fourth", disappointed when I got to "final".

I doubt you will want to code professionally in Forth unless you work on embedded, so the dialect you learn doesn't matter too much. But it is interesting to implement a small interpreter and play with it.

(I'm saying this with love)

Has anybody implemented a Human Control Protocol, where a model can interact with a human as if it was a tool call?
