Well no thanks, the US is going the same path Hungary and Turkey, just with a 10 year difference, autocrats are never good for business.

As soon as Trump came in power I sold all my dollars and I was wise to do it.

Expect things to go much more worse from here, this is only the beginning. For now the FED has relatively been untouched, it's not going to stay pristine forever.

With a good harness I am getting similar results with GLM 4.7. I am paying for TWO! max accounts and my agents are running 24/7.

I still have a small Claude account to do some code reviews. Opus 4.5 does good reviews but at this point GLM 4.7 usually can do the same code reviews.

If cost is an issue (for me it is, I pay out of pocket) go with GLM 4.7

> Like a lot of my peers I was using claude code CLI regularly and trying to understand how far I could go with it on my personal projects. Going wild, with ideas and approaches to code I can now try and validate at a very fast pace. Run it inside tmux and let it do the work while I went on to do something else

This blog post could have been a tweet.

I'm so so so tired of reading this style of writing.

> Is it not reproducable? Someone up thread reproduced it and expanded on it. It worked for me the first time I prompted. Did you try it or are you just guessing that it's not reproducable because that's what you already think?

I assumed you knew how LLMs work. They are random by nature, not "because I'm guessing it". There's a reason if you ask the LLM the same exact prompt hundreds of times you'll get hundreds of different answers.

>I looked for, found, and shared evidence

Anecdotal evidence. Studies have shown how unreliable LLMs are exactly because they are not deterministic. Again, it's a fact, not an opinion.

>I'm talking about filtering spammy communication channels

So if we make tons of mistakes there, who cares, right?

I only used this as an example because it's one of the few very public uses of LLMs to make judgement calls where people accepted it as true and faced consequences.

I'm sure there are plenty more people getting screwed over by similar mistakes, but folks generally aren't stupid enough to say that publicly. Maybe the Salesforce huge mistake qualifies too? Incidentally it also involved people's jobs.

Regardless, the point stands: they are unreliable.

Want to trust LLMs blindly for your weekend project? Great! The only potential victim for its mistakes is you.
For anything serious like a huge open source project? That's irresponsible.

I've had the same type of experience where I feel like the knowledge barrier for a lot of projects has been made much smaller than it used to be :D

btw, I have a couple of questions just out of curiosity: What tools do you use besides Claude? Do you have a local or preferred setup? and do you know of any communities where discussion about LLM/general AI tool use is the focus, amongst programmers/ML engineers? Been trying to be more informed as to what tools are out there and more up to date on this field that is progressing very quickly.

I don't really know anything about the DSA so I can't agree or disagree with any of this. I guess I misread your comment, I interpreted it as "Based on the events described in this thread, American socialism's purpose is ...". It seems like your statement is actually based on a very broad context of the DSA's history and activities, which are not common knowledge, so it would have been nice to include some of that if you wanted to make such a sweeping statement.

You're also making another implicit claim here that DSA chapters have never had any impact other than stopping affordable housing and creating parks, which I think would be difficult to defend. After a minute of Wikipedia research, I see that at least nine members of Congress were active DSA members during their tenure, and obviously had other accomplishments. For example, I see that DSA member Major Owens was in Congress for 24 years and was a significant factor in passing the ADA.

A few weeks ago i saw a repo in Github that had closed the issue-board and explained the users: to move on to the discussions.

If the discussion leads to the insight, that this is worth a feature, the maintainer will implement it.

I think the same goes for PRs. If you think you have made something cool, then discuss it and offer your implementation and the maintainer makes it fit with you to integrate.

On the other side, if you want a feature it just doesnt have, simply forking it and updating from the source-repo is fair enough.

It's not clear to me either, but as I understand it it doesn't include pensions because social contributions are not part of "disposable income".

I think that "the net adjustment for change in pension entitlements" is there to take into account the expected reduced future income from pension entitlements dwindling over time (edit: in effect, making pensions count as negative savings) somehow, but it's unclear.

I looked for another perspective but the French national bank doesn't mention pensions in its explanations[0].

This is awesome, thanks for sharing this!

I am especially impressed with the “i didn’t write a single line of code” part, because I was expecting it to be janky or slow on mobile, but it feels blazing fast just zooming around different areas.

And it is very up to date too, as I found a building across the street from me that got finished only last year being present.

I found a nitpicky error though: in Brooklyn downtown, where Cadman Plaza Park is, your webite makes it looks like there is a large rectangular body of water there (e.g., a pool or a fountain). In reality, there is no water at all, it is just a concrete slab area.

Under X11, we had Extended Window Manager Hints [0]. The new protocol that is meant to work everywhere is ATK/AT-SPI. However, as mentioned in the posted proposal, AT-SPI Device can't be implemented under Wayland, right now.

Under Wayland, you also can't find your mouse. [1]

No input system can find out your active window, so no remapping for applications. [2]

And no key rebindings, at all, yet. [3]

The issue I posted that started this thread was proposed by Orca. This is not some random person saying that Wayland can't do what they need, yet. Its one of the most popular accessibility software programs available on Linux.

Libinput doesn't have capability monitoring, saying instead it'll need to be implemented by the server, so it needs to be Wayland's problem, not theirs. [4]

Based on my experience and some brief research I don't think this is generally accurate. While I'm sure some combinations of encoder and bitrate might be an issue, YouTube is actually delivering rather high quality audio on HD videos. There's nothing inherent to Joint Stereo encoding that would make binaural audio not work, it's the default choices encoders make at low bitrates.

I didn't even get to send 1 prompt to Claude and my "account has been disabled after an automatic review of your recent activities" back in 2024, still blocked.

Even filled in the appeal form, never got anything back.

Still to this day don't know why I was banned, have never been able to use any Claude stuff. It's a big reason I'm a fan of local LLMs. They'll never be SOTA level, but at least they'll keep chugging along.

But the Peshitta is 300 years after the Septuagint and the verse you mention was written in Greek in a gospel, not the Hebrew Bible. I don't know how the translators of the Peshitta would have any special access to sayings of Jesus that predate the Gospels we have now. I don't know if there is any hard evidence that the Gospel authors had actual eye witness written sources in the language that Jesus spoke. So you have to assume that Jesus used Gamla in Aramaic and that the Gospel writer mistranslated it when writing in Greek but that the Peshitta gives special insight by retranslating it back to the ambiguous word. Then you have to make another leap to think that it is somehow possible to manipulate a rope to be the size of a thread. Sounds like a lot of histrionics to justify Abraham going to Paradise when the simpler explanation is that it's just a concept of difficulty rather than a logical word problem. This seems less plausible than the Eye of Needle gate theory which many Christian teachers often reference.

Author here. A few implementation notes:

1. We use NetworkX for the graph operations. Tarjan's SCC detection is O(V+E), so it scales well even for large accounts.

2. The trickiest part isn't the algorithm — it's mapping AWS API responses to graph edges. AWS APIs are... inconsistent. Some resources return IDs, some ARNs, some Names. Security Groups can reference themselves, reference by ID or by name, and have rules scattered across inline blocks and separate resources. Normalizing this soup into a clean adjacency matrix is where 80% of the engineering work lives.

3. For those wondering about the "Shell & Fill" naming: it's essentially forcing Terraform's create_before_destroy lifecycle behavior manually, by decoupling the resource identity from its configuration.

Would love to hear if others have hit similar graph problems with other IaC tools (Pulumi, CDK, CloudFormation).

The funny part is that everyone expects you to make an informed decision about your security, without even providing any data to make that decision.

A better strategy would be:

- (seccomp) sandbox by default

- dry run, observe accessed files and remember them

- display dialog, saying: hey this plugin accesses your profile folder with the passwords.kdbx in it? You wanna allow it?

In an optimum world this would be provided by the operating system, which should have a better trust model for executing programs that are essentially from untrustable sources. The days where you exactly know what kind of programs are stored in your folders are long gone, but for whatever reason no operating system has adapted to that.

And before anyone says the tech isn't there yet: It is, actually, it's called eBPF and XDP.

I'm a bit of a different case, have been volunteering/working at retreat centers in Peru and Mexico for the last 6 years (and am somewhat of an apprentice in a particular tradition).

There are tough parts physically sure, you mostly get used to those parts, sometimes I'll have long stretches of not vomiting and sometimes it'll be every (or multiple times per) ceremony.

As far as "finding out new things", we often use this analogy of layers of an onion (of which you tend to cry more with each layer coming off :)). Breaks between sessions to integrate are needed- after a retreat you might find that some of your baselines have shifted, and you need to find your new normal (or make changes in your life to break out of the old patterns you didn't realize you were stuck in because it was just normal/programmed and not a choice previously). After you've adjusted/integrated other things may begin to surface that were just overshadowed by the energies you've cleaned up before. (A good shaman has cleaned themself to the point that their own energies no longer dominate their vision, and they can "see" outside themselves to diagnose/heal others). Anyways sometimes the physical side effects are just too much for some people and it's understandably not the modality for them...if you spend your ceremonies being entirely consumed by those effects, you can still make progress drinking with a good shaman (though it might be a few ceremonies before you get your head above water).

I still get surprised (especially with master plant diets). Ayahuasca isn't addictive but I think for some of us there is an intellectual addiction to it. The scary ones are the ones I look forward to now :).

I'm very biased but I'd only recommend doing retreats that offer master plant diets in a traditional Shipibo context if you're looking to make lasting changes. The master plants (adjunct plants taken alongside ayahuasca) offer a whole other dimension that ayahuasca alone doesn't even scratch the surface of. A weekend retreat in someone's garage might be ok for a "tuneup" or to see where you're at once in a while, but it's not the place for deep work or for someone new imo (and you risk opening a box that you won't have time to wrap your head around).

I recently found out that there's no such thing as Anthropic support. And that made me sad, but not for reasons that you expect.

Out of all of the tech organizations, frontier labs are the one org you'd expect to be trying out cutting edge forms of support. Out of all of the different things these agents can do, surely most forms of "routine" customer support are the lowest hanging fruit?

I think it's possible for Anthropic to make the kind of experience that delights customers. Service that feels magical. Claude is such an incredible breakthrough, and I would be very interested in seeing what Anthropic can do with Claude let loose.

I also think it's essential for the anthropic platform in the long-run. And not just in the obvious ways (customer loyalty etc). I don't know if anyone has brought this up at Anthropic, but it's such a huge risk for Anthropic's long-term strategic position. They're begging corporate decision makers to ask the question, "If Anthropic doesn't trust Claude to run its support, then why should we?"

I would not say that Charlie Brown is untouched by failure. He does descend to the depths of despair. But some how rises from it to try (and fail) again. This trope is seen best with Lucy pulling away the football every time he goes to kick it. Even though he knows he's failed every time, he talks himself into this time being different.

This does not contradict your overriding point, just adding nuance to the claim he is "simply not touched by failure".

Great, if the break ground today the first nuke will be online in absolute minimum 10 years (likely 20) and cost absolute minimum of $15 billion (likely closer to $30 billion)

Do you want to guess how cheap solar will be in 10-20 years, and how much power we could generate in the mean time.

This is not a discussion worth having.

One problem I have with this is that the word Hero has multiple meanings and I'm not sure we are talking of the same thing. Like which of these characters follow the classic Hero's Journey, which are just the leading characters in books, which are heroes to another character, which are labelled as a hero as pretext, which are anti-heros treated as heroes, etc. These are all very different things.

Last time I looked at this, I think I determined that exFAT also had reasonable support for Windows, Linux, and MacOS? I guess it might not be "feature rich", but it's at least suitable for a USB drive or something. This also isn't a counterpoint to your argument that Windows tech is better supported given its origins, but it might be useful for some people depending on their intended use.

UN votes across decades have officially labeled Zionism as racism. International courts, from the ICJ to the ICC, despite massive pressure (& sanctions) have officially labeled their actions as genocidal & worthy of prosecution.

(the above are facts, not opinions)

Yet your comment gets downvoted. And others get to say how Israel is a harmonious place for Muslims/Palestinians/Arabs ... and their posts are ... untouched.

Even George Orwell didn't envisage this ...

The cited rationale is a perfectly reasonable take.

But most of the world is in the same boat of "large budget deficits and growing government debt". It will be "interesting" for bond issuers and most investors and "exciting fishing" for hedge fund sharks over the next 10 years or so.

That said, I do not agree that it is 100% politicians. At least in the US, that path has been virtually unavoidable after the fiscal spending by G.W. Bush on the 9/11 wars and fully set in stone after 2008 subprime crisis. For the last 15+ years politicians could slow down or speed up the transit a little, but getting off that train has not been an option. My 2c.

But note that I am unlikely to get one today: with a drawer full of Linux phones (from Motorola A1200, Nokia N900 and N9, Palm Pre+, HP Pre 3, PinePhone, Meizu MX4 shipped with Ubuntu, and Nexus 4 running Ubuntu), I'd really be looking for something that does exactly what I want with enough performance to actually dock to my 8k TV or 4k dual screen setup.

Congrats on 30 years of development, ReactOS team! What a lovely walk through the storied history of the project.

I wonder how well it runs on XP-era hardware, Thinkpads, etc. I have several for running period games and software, but it'd be super cool to run ReactOS instead and be able to hack on the OS.

That's my dream!

That's where I want to take this project.

At the moment, my focus is on what I can do by aggregating and analyzing the available data. Extracting ingredients, normalizing them, normalizing quantities across every supplement, etc. This has already proven to be a lot bigger undertaking than I could have imagined at the beginning of this journey. I had learn a lot about databases, scraping, LLMs, and evals. But it has been a tremendously fun (if sometimes overwhelming) journey.

First, I need to figure out how to monetize what I've built so far. And maybe I cannot, in which case I will start over. But I am trying to find my niche that people uniquely value. So far I found that there are is a pull from people chasing deals (e.g. finding products containing specific ingredients with the highest price per mcg) and people seeking for niche ingredients. This is not exactly the target audience I had in mind when building this, but I am glad they are finding value.

Evolving into performing actual lab tests and producing our own high-quality supplements is my dream.

If you walked the floor at NRF this year, you probably noticed a shift in the air. For the last few years, the retail buzz has been about "GenAI"—usually meaning a chatbot that can summarize reviews or write a polite email.
But the conversation changed. We are moving away from simple chatbots and toward Agentic Commerce.
The headline isn’t just that AI can talk to customers; it’s that AI can now do things. It can plan, negotiate, and transact. At the center of this shift is Google’s announcement of a new three-layer retail AI stack—effectively a new operating system for how we buy and sell.
If you’re in retail strategy or tech, you need to understand these three layers. Here is the breakdown of what was announced and why it kills the old "search bar" paradigm.

There were blogs that explained this in detail (Facebook does something similar), but I can't find them, so here's what Google's AI overview says when I search for "How gmail cookies help google track users across the web":

Gmail cookies, such as SID and HSID, act as unique identifiers for a signed-in Google account, allowing Google to track user activity across its services and millions of third-party websites. These cookies, often lasting 2 years, link browsing behavior—like searches and site visits—to a specific user profile to personalize ads, measure campaign performance, and analyze site usage, even on non-Google sites that use tools like Google Analytics or AdSense.

"it probably scrapped the multiple git repository of Windows leaked source code. In which case it would ABSOLUTELY undermine the project's ability to say it's a clean room implementation"

If an LLM model has been fed leaked code, then that is a general problem for that model and for its use for anything. Singling out its use for an open-source project and denouncing that as a potential problem while otherwise keeping quiet about it just makes no sense. Just take legal action against the model if there's anything plausible to warrant that, don't weaponize it against open-source projects.

Yea, but how?

The EU can barely get the Mercosur FTA out the door. How can it even attempt to make such a drastic change that would make FDI in the EU less attractive than equally large and equally onerous China?

And that ignores the fact that states like Poland, Ireland, and Czechia would ferociously fight back at anything that threatens their FDI driven economies.

Even Ireland opposed the Anti-Coercion Instrument [0] four days ago, and everyone still remembers Belgium's unilateral opposition to seizing frozen Russian assets barely a month ago.

> There was no meaningful user-base for Unix/Hurd so to speak of compared to NT kernel.

Sure, but that userbase also already has a way of using the NT kernel: Windows. The point is that both Hurd and ReactOS are trying to solve an interesting technical problem but lack any real reason to use rather than their alternatives that solve enough of the practical problems for most users.

You are lucky they refunded you. Imagine they didn't ban you and you continued to pay 220 a month.

I once tried Claude made a new account and asked it to create a sample program it refused. I asked it to create a simple game and it refused. I asked it to create anything and it refused.

For playing around just go local and write your own multi agent wrapper. Much more fun and it opens many more possibilities with uncensored llms. Things will take longer but you'll end up at the same place.. with a mostly working piece of code you never want to look at.

The few times when I heard music in a non-business context was groups of women farm workers in Indian villages singing a folk-song as a group, that provides the rhythm required for the farm work. Those tunes used to float in waves modulated by the hot winds blowing over the crops.

Also, maybe solo singing by shepherd boys and cow-herders, while roaming vast grass lands in hot summer. There were some great singers who wrote fantastic lyrics that go for hours with hardly any instrumental music. I knew they did it for their own pleasure.
