This plus all the other recent cases of people stepping down or being charged actually should scare the shit out of Trump.

I mean he’s probably still safe at the moment, and might literally die of old age before consequences, but he’s only in the clear until the millisecond his “friends” smell blood in the water. Which is evidently starting.

Politically you are probably right. New York Times? A business that likely wishes to sell more subscriptions.

On the left: shit happens

On the right: humans are doing stupid shit

I think the OP is trying to express that the New York times is distorting the news. Perhaps true, but humans doing stupid shit will always sell a newspaper.

Uh oh… I bet the sound isn’t directional enough to work like this too. Yet.

Been like this forever… Version 1.0 always sucks. Even worse is when a company ships a 0.4.2.1 beta and still calls it 1.0.

Testing costs a lot and hey, why not let your early adopters pay the price in return for having something nobody else has yet.

A project that’s never released or monetized is a hobby. We all need hobbies. And it seems like this one was extraordinarily developmental because it taught you a lot about what goes into a game. It also taught you about videos, building in public, and setting expectations.

I hope you don’t see it as a negative and instead ask something like going to University on steroids. If you decide to develop a game to completion in the future, you’re going to be that much further down the road

Yeah, good. Don’t build roads, bridges, and trains. Let’s build jails.

I think the problem they cannot solve yet is a) knowing what to do and b) knowing when it’s properly done.

The result is possibly more output per qualified human, but with your competition having the same tool, you’re just keeping pace, not advancing.

We have to either take it from them, or figure out how to get as much freedom from the rat race as possible by other means. The taking it from them part is difficult because the people with the money also have most of the guns and, by extension, laws.

“Normal” Americans can do this too if they have enough capital. The amount needed may be less than you think.

These outcomes are features of modern finance and there aren’t a lot of secrets about how it works. A lot of people could benefit by learning and using the same rules for their own benefit. These so called rich people know it because they talk about it with each other. Normies can look to forums like coastfire, expatfire, leanfire and similar for tips about how to similarly exploit the finance regulation in place today.

If you get a W2, and you spend most or all of the salary for living expenses - with no gap for significant savings, you’re trading a month of labor for a month of living expenses. It might feel ok because you sit on a leather seat or stay in the Hilton sometimes. But if there is nothing left over you’re perpetually running on fumes.

The only way out of this is by cutting expenses and creating as wide a gap as possible and pouring it into assets that grow, not shrink, in value. With the power of compounding returns nobody is more than a decade, decade and a half or so away from freedom. But yeah, you do have to live like a miser during that time.

I use librechat with a bunch of API keys (openAI, anthropic, Gemini) and let’s me do pay as you go for a lot of models. That’s cool because it let’s you switch between models miss conversation, fork conversations, etc.

I’m having an issue like this as well. Blocked keywords, blocked communities are showing often in my main feed suddenly

Why do you think it’s anti-American to protest injustice? I feel it’s quite the opposite, in fact the country’s origin story is based on one of protest.

Lying to the court is at minimum perjury, no? I wonder if the culture at these Immigration offices is such that they are encouraging this behavior or if it’s looked down on?

If you’re an attorney at a prestigious law firm and you’re held in contempt or caught lying, I think this would be career limiting, potentially result in the loss of your license, and look bad on your firm.

Lawyers might have shitty clients though, and that might be the case at these DHS offices. I’m thinking about that one attorney who asked the judge to hold her in contempt. If that’s the case you’d hope the attorney won’t act until they are confident in the facts.

GitHub should have insight on new repositories and repositories that are gaining files like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md that kind of tip off the use of AI coding.

My guess is there’s a super long tail of projects people are releasing as open source that were vibe coded to solve some simple problem. Most will likely fall into abandonment or never reach any amount of viability.

On the other hand the cost of starting a project to solve an interesting problem has never been lower. It’s never been easier to take a swing at building something cool that people might like. This should expose new opportunities that haven’t been attempted yet.

My intuition says it’s not all bad. It’s like selling hammers to people who aren’t licensed construction workers. Yeah, some stuff will get built that should not be built.

Ever since we started seeing traffic cameras showing up at intersections 15 or 20 years ago and recording license plates, I’ve had an uneasy feeling that these data pools just become a tool to move against people at any time in the future.

I’m not opposed to enforcement of rules. I want there to be rules in society and it’s important that we have resources dedicated to the enforcement of rules.

What I don’t want is a goliath unfair advantage that can be easily used to hurt people - even inadvertently - by ill-trained or malicious authorities.

The government has unlimited resources to prosecute people and destroy lives through the process. And it’s extremely expensive for people to defend themselves, even when falsely accused. The risk to everyday people, many who are following the laws, is just too high.

And if the wind blows towards fascist tendencies, that pool of data on you just became your worst nightmare.

The Fourth amendment was created in response to abuses by British authorities. At one point we wanted to protect individual privacy and property rights from government overreach.

Americans are not free if they are being detained for “probable cause” because some database + opaque lines of code said there is probable cause.

I now avoid all videos showing deaths or serious injuries (if I know that kind of content is coming).

Feels better to not have those images in my mind.

This thread is actually really depressing.

Wasn’t there an incident where Pelocy was begging for the national guard to be called in? Or maybe one of the cabinet members. And Trump kept declining.

So the only people to do the shooting were the limited number of capital police. I don’t think they’re set up for riot defense and it’s a lot to ask them to individually put their lives on the line by just shooting into the crowd.

Once they are following, I’d think you can begin to convert them to higher tiers of support through private channels?
