They sure had no trouble collecting it!

IMHO, #Block is doing it wrong.

Companies should not be chopping dev staff or expecting AI to immediately drive down cost.

Instead, they should wait and see which devs use LLMs to generate production-ready, coherent code/artifacts that improve internal bottlenecks and user experience.

DEAR CLAUDE,

You hereby have permission to make ANY CHANGE, as long as it is:

1. In the current repository.
2. Not a destructive git command.

GO DO THINGS! I don't want to come back after lunch and see 20 minutes of wasted time waiting for me to answer if you can use "sed"

UPDATE: so far, signs are positive, though he has a real fiscal mess to clean up from the last guy.

If I ask if you want to join me in some activity, and it's not a "FUCK YEAH, LET'S GO!", then I'm just going to assume it's a "No" and move on.

"I'm interested" followed by silence is not the vibe. Life is short. Ride with people who are ready to ride, let Γ₯others find their own path.

I love how Claude will go off the deep end one minute choosing the worst possible way to do something without asking, and then the next minute it’s all β€œPlease can I run β€˜ls -la’?” the next

Why TF did they air that? Would they air a blind presenter stumbling on stage? A wheelchair user whose wheel gets temporarily stuck on a curtain?

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Work with the LLM first to come up with a migration plan. Decide if it’s going to be a greenfield transfer or migrate in place. Figure out some ways for the LLM to check itself as it goes (tsc, etc.). Set out some guardrails on how you want vite/TS to be used.

I just rewatched this one. Perfect casting.

Is anyone on the #OpenAI, #Claude, or #Gemini teams active here?

While not as popular as X, the people running this platform aren’t Epstein’s buddies, and unlike at X, AT protocol content can inform your future models.

Please stop forcing devs to sign into that hellscape just to get your AI tips.

I found her grating on TNG but i liked her way more on DS9. Honestly I think she was written poorly in TNG.

Miles was no model husband either, despite being a decent guy.

I have *not* seen Starfleet Academy yet. Waiting for a few more episodes to have a proper binge. Sounds promising!

In my head canon, it’s gonna be like Space Academy (the movie) or the Discovery episode β€œAll is Possible” with Tilly and the cadets. Maybe I’m wrong on that, time will tell!

And the fact that 42% *don’t* feel that way is why our problems go much deeper than one wannabe dictator and why, like confederate leader, his minions will never face consequences when this is over.

@slashdot.org just started aggressively blocking visitors using ad blockers.

So, after being a user for 25+ years, I've removed it from my bookmarks bar.

Problem solved for both of us, I guess.

Idea for Tony Gilroy's next Star Wars TV series that bridges the gap between RotJ and Force Awakens. It's basically the story of how the rebel alliance fails to prosecute or punish the Empire for anything they did during the original series, including blowing up planets.

I’ve been a superhost for years, and now #Airbnb is giving me the runaround on them getting into compliance with a new city hotel occupancy tax. Nothing but ChatGPT responses and links to their generic FAQs.

Even VRBO has been better at dealing with this change, which is shocking.

In rewatching Voyager right now, so I’m gonna have TWO Treks at the same time with Th Doctor! It’s Picardo overload, if that’s even possible!

No one can deny Mayor Mamdani is a gifted orator.

Really hope his skill in pulling and pushing the slow levers of government beaurocracy matches his vibes.

Definitely similar in terms of the number of finale scenes! But each one closed an important loop so I’m not mad

I knew #StrangerThings had to end, but I didn’t know it had to rip out my heart multiple times along the way.

What an incredible show.

And no I don’t GAF that the actors got older, I was raised on 90210, I can suspend disbelief.

I *just* watched an arc on Voyager that easily crossed 5-6 episodes related to Seska, the mole Jonas, and Paris playing the long game to take them down. It may have not alway been the A-plot in every episode, but there are plenty of through-lines.

Being a middle-aged, neurodivergent, basically-sober, liberal man in a super-red area sucks.

Happily married, two great little kids, but no social life.

I kept it to avoid having my username taken, but I don’t log in. I get low engagement here, but it’s overall a nicer crowd when they do run across my posts.

Politicians always hide behind adjectives. Use of the word β€œcredible” was not an accident, it was carefully chosen to provide a ton of cover of subjectivity.
