No, people who caused this are the ones who picked Trump for candidate and then voted for him. Conservatives did not had to pick Trump and his fellow travelers, they did. It should not be responsibility of democrats to become moderate republicans. It should be responsibility of moderate republicans to moderate their party. If you are moderate republican who voted Trump because you cant stomach the democrat establishment allows transexuals to transition or whatever, then you are someone who knowingly voted someone who you knew will do exactly what is going on now. There is nothing new or shocking about Trump or conservatives being anti-democratic or breaking the law.

It is absurd that all the bad stuff conservatives do ends up being blamed on left and center. But somehow, when left do something bad, conservatives are never blamed.

> the democrats need to take this as an objective lesson about how badly they failed to represent their constituencies

The elections were quite close. They failed to represent moderate republicans who prefer fascists anyway. They lost in elections. But the constituency voting for Trump was not theirs.

It would be cool if anti-Trump right would stop blaming everyone but themeselves. Especially when those anti-Trump people voted for Trump second time.
He pushed for and signed this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control...

I have not. But I also can't get the general model to work well in even toy problems.

Here's a simple example with GPT-4o: https://0x0.st/8K3z.png

It probably isn't obvious in a quick read, but there are mistakes here. Maybe the most obvious is that how `replacements` is made we need to intelligently order. This could be fixed by sorting. But is this the right data structure? Not to mention that the algorithm itself is quite... odd

To give a more complicated example I passed the same prompt from this famous code golf problem[0]. Here's the results, I'll save you the time, the output is wrong https://0x0.st/8K3M.txt (note, I started command likes with "$" and added some notes for you)

Just for the heck of it, here's the same thing but with o1-preview

Initial problem: https://0x0.st/8K3t.txt

Codegolf one: https://0x0.st/8K3y.txt

As you can see, o1 is a bit better on the initial problem but still fails at the code golf one. It really isn't beating the baseline naive solution. It does 170 MiB/s compared to 160 MiB/s (baseline with -O3). This is something I'd hope it could do really well on given that this problem is rather famous and so many occurrences of it should show up. There's tons of variations out there and It is common to see parallel fizzbuzz in a class on parallelization as well as it can teach important concepts like keeping the output in the right order.

But hey, at least o1 has the correct output... It's just that that's not all that matters.

I stand by this: evaluating code based on output alone is akin to evaluating a mathematical proof based on the result. And I hope these examples make the point why that matters, why checking output is insufficient.

Edit: I want to add that there's also an important factor here. The LLM might get you a "result" faster, but you are much more likely to miss the learning process that comes with struggling. Because that makes you much faster (and more flexible) not just next time but in many situations where even a subset is similar. Which yeah, totally fine to glue shit together when you don't care and just need something, but there's a lot of missed value if you need to revisit any of that. I do have concerns that people will be plateaued at junior levels. I hope it doesn't cause seniors to revert to juniors, which I've seen happen without LLMs. If you stop working on these types of problems, you lose the skills. There's already an issue where we rush to get output and it has clear effects on the stagnation of devs. We have far more programmers than ever but I'm not confident we have a significant number more wizards (the percentage of wizards is decreasing). There's fewer people writing programs just for fun. But "for fun" is one of our greatest learning tools as humans. Play is a common trait you see in animals and it exists for a reason.

Something to remember next time Google makes a pledge. I.e. when they pledge not to do something, it just means they pledge to make a prior indirect notification before doing that thing.

In python everything is an object.

I'm sure there are minor exceptions or arguable cases but that's also the case with Ruby. Most infamously with Proc.

Classes are objects in python, usually instances of class called type or a subclass of type(usefulfor controlling class creation), this is called the metaclass.
A constructor call MyObject() is basically just the __call__ method of the metaclass.

Modules are also objects usually of type types.ModuleClass or a subclass although really you can stick any object in sys.modules dictionary and have it act like a module and import it.

Sure it doesn't use messages instead attributes whether field or methods both go through the same lookup method __getattribute__ which goes up the class inheritance chain in an OO manner. There's also __getattr__ for more method_missing like access instead of overriding every object attribute access.

A function or lambda is an instance of function class although I don't think you can't modify or override the function class I think you can hook it to log it.

You can also do all sorts of stuff by hooking module import and rewriting the ast. Or more easily you can decorate/wrap the functions in another function object.

It's true that you can't modify c based classes but you can do a lot of magic in python, people usually just don't because unnecessary magic is frowned on. But sometimes it's useful like the way pytest rewrites
assert a==[1,2,3]
to print a nice error message with both variables

Breathtaking innovation
I see very little use of either Evite or Meetup at this point though I imagine if I sought them out I'd see some continued use. (I do run into an Evite signup from time to time for a paid event.)
You can say this about innovation for all art forms. Art evolves it doesn't just come out of thin air. The consumer also has to evolve.

Even if you just look at popular artists: Mk.gee, Collier, Domi and jdbeck, Beyonce are some examples of mold breaking.

What exactly are you expecting, cantina jizz? If so there's no shortage of extremely out there stuff.
See this is my point. You can easily google that answer and I suspect you know it already. The entire context is missing because you are pushing your narrative. Tesla was founded by Eberhardt and Tarpenning and thats where the left always stops. Without any doubt we know that Eberhart would have tanked the company. Tesla would have been nothing without Elons involvement especially now that we know of the lies that occurred early on during Roadster. There would be no Tesla left had he continued. Leaving this out causes people to miss lessons that help them understand how Elon thinks.

Lessons such as how he brought in his fixers to go 'line by line' in the books to figure out where all the money is going: sound familiar?

>Tesla is getting cooked by Chinese carmakers and only tariffs or outright bans can help. In EU their sales are falling quickly due to his salute.

Did you not read my message completely or were you so fixated on your conclusion that you missed how I admitted that Chinese are outdoing Tesla?

Don't listen to me, heres Elon Musk talking about how good his Chinese competitors are:

[1]: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-...

"If there are no trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other car companies in the world," he said. "They're extremely good."

In regards to EU, yes they are sinking there, so are all the other EU companies. The Chinese will own that market. That entire continent is a sinking ship and in hindsight maybe it was a mistake to even open a factory there as im sure Musk is realizing now.

I am so disappointed that the left has apparently learned nothing from the Twitter saga and are instead relearning all the mistakes made there because they didn't pay attention the last several times this happened. Instead of downvoting figure out how you can exploit Musks's weaknesses to stop him.
It's interesting, Schur (artist name) hasn't had anyone ever review his music as far as I can tell, none of his tracks have ever got much traction on YouTube, none of his releases are even listed on albumoftheyear.org, low traction on SoundCloud too. He said he gets fans via Instagram (34 k followers). He's not on TikTok. Looks like he's not on any official Spotify, or other popular, playlists.

Schur's music does have a very catchy and upbeat vibe, I like his stuff. I guess it's possible he could have had a track featured on a TikTok video that went viral, without being aware of it.

So for him his best channel is Instagram. I noticed that he's using Insta ads, I'm getting them in my feed, but I follow him too.
I see this app as more like the Notes, iMessage or Freeform apps. There are tons of apps out there that do XYZ better, but Apple wants to ship a polished version that does 90% of everything the average user needs. It accomplishes three things (in my eyes):

1. It helps grow Apple's ecosystem by covering just enough ground to make third-party alternatives less necessary for most users.

2. It reduces one of the major "sticky" points that keep people in Facebook's own moat. Events and Marketplace are the two reasons I still use Facebook.

3. It encourages competition from the people who want to do that last 10% better than Apple's apps, raising the baseline and hopefully forcing innovation as well. Those apps lead to more App Store revenue, so, cynically, it's a win-win for Apple.
About the “Tok” suffix, I also think that while it has the algorithm connotations, it also has been used a lot to describe communities that have formed on TikTok. For example, BookTok (where some bookstores have started to pay attention to how people on TikTok can make some books popular again seemingly on a whim) or WitchTok.

50 million people each paying 100$ in taxes can’t get as much done as 350 million people handing over 100$.

On the other hand suggesting there’s suddenly massive issues with coordination because a country is 7x the size just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

As a Californian, the ballot measure that limits the ability of insurance companies to increase and tailor rates to reflect risk is absurd. I hope someone funds a ballot measure to repeal the statute.

In its “best” form, it’s requiring those who have bought homes in safer areas statewide to subsidize those in more dangerous areas, which is already absurd, considering those more dangerous areas are already predominately wealthy coastal and hillside areas that can and should pay their own full cost of insurance.

My annual payment with a different insurer nearly doubled after our insurer had to drop the entire zip code purely because half of my zip code is in a high fire hazard zone, even though my property and half of zip code is rated one of the lowest fire hazard zones in the state.

At its most extreme, because of the provisions limiting risk adjustment based on and within zip codes (originally, for redlining, which I understand, but for fire risk it makes no sense considering different locations are inherently riskier), it will and has caused insurance companies to exit the state entirely, and then we’re all screwed.

I do wonder if SCOTUS will revisit this and declare the original ballot measure limiting risk an unconstitutional “taking” from those in safer locations (or insurers themselves), given my understanding is Florida has the same issues too…
This year I switched to a new job, using programming languages that I was less familiar with.

Asking a LLM to translate between languages works really well most of the time.
It's also a great way to learn which libraries are the standard solution for a language. It really accelerated my learning process.

Sure, there is the occasional too literal translation or hallucination, but I found this useful enough.

You could use this logic to posit that any government, group, system, nation state, militia, business, or otherwise, isn't "evil" because you haven't gauged the thoughts, feelings and actions of every single person who comprises that system. Thats absurd.

If using AI and other technology to uphold a surveillance state, wage war, do imperialism, and do genocide... isn't evil, than I don't know if you can call anything evil.

And the entire point of taxes is that we all collectively decide that we all would be better off if we pooled our labor and resources together so that we can have things like a basic education, healthcare, roads, police, bridges that don't collapse etc.. Politicians and corporations have directly broken and abused this social contract in a multitude of ways, one of those ways is using loopholes to not pay taxes at the same rate as everyone else by a large margin... another way is paying off politicians and lobbying so that those loopholes never get closed, and in fact, the opposite happens. So yes, taxing Google and other mega-corporations is a single, easily identifiable, action that can be directly taken to remedy this problem. Though, there is no way around solving the core issue at hand, but people have to be able to identify that issue foremost.

It's astounding how often I ask an LLM to generate some thing, do a little more research, come back and I'm ready to use the code it generated and I realize, no, it's selected the wrong flags entirely.

Although most recently I caught it because I fed it into both gpt-4o and o1 and o1 had the correct flags. Then I asked 4o to expand the flags from the short form to the long form and explain them so I could double-check my reasoning as to why o1 was correct.
