“She asked the powers at NASA to let her add a safeguard to prevent that error in a real flight, and they laughed it off as too unlikely… When an astronaut did make that blooper during the Apollo 8 mission, it caused necessary navigational data to vanish, and they called Hamilton in to get it back.”

Just listened to it! You’ve been busy! And agreed 100% that non-trivial frameworks and libraries that are *used by many different organizations* are going to be much more robust than whatever your LLM 1-shot version produces (so maybe consider buy vs vibe).

This man is unfit in every possible sense of the word. He is the worst impulses of this nation given physical form, and it is the duty of every single one of us who actually believe in freedom and democracy to make sure he and his followers are banished from power.

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.

moments after saying he didn't expect anything in exchange for pardoning Cueller, Trump admits "I guess I expected maybe he wouldn't run or maybe he'd run as a Republican"

RIght wing propaganda fake cable TV news company Newsmax also recently got mad at Carr, stating his quest to create a new monopoly over local broadcast TV will competitively harm OTHER propaganda companies

Looks like #github is refusing pushes (and other commands) with 500 Internal Server Error at the moment...

Their status page claims all is well, though...

you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Also at this point you can predict every recommendation from the Claude Code team to boil down to 1. Hand of as much work and decision making as possible to Claude . 2. Use as many tokens as you possibly can. How they use Claude is interesting but not practical for almost anyone else.
