We don’t know if he materially supported Hamas. At that point it’s no longer just a speech issue.

We will eventually know the government is full of bunk. But that takes time. In the meantime, I think all we can do is note who is jumping to conclusions with incomplete information and who is prescient about objective facts (not forecasts).
> In fact, while most nuclear powers have dabbled in the idea of 'how could we conceal a nuclear test', it seems that only Israel is capable of doing it.

Only because the US decided to officially look the other way. See "The Vela incident" which was never publicly attributed, but was almost certainly a joint Israel-South Africa test.
That seems to be the exact context where we should be talking about idiomatic Go. You expect feature X and you are unhappy that Go doesn't have it because it's now harder to do Y. So here is an idiomatic Go way to do Y. Or that's why you should do Z in Go instead.
I decided to check this out after seeing the discussion here. I had previously misunderstood that it required a Claude.ai plan, but it actually just uses your API keys.

I did a comparison between Claude Code and Aider (my normal go-to): I asked it to do clone a minor feature in my existing app with some minor modifications (specifically, a new global keyboard shortcut in a Swift app).

Claude Code spent about 60 seconds and $0.73 to search the code base and make a +51 line diff. After it finished, I was quite impressed by its results; it did exactly the correct set of changes I would have done.

Now, this is a higher level of task than I would normally give to Aider (because I didn't provide any file names, and it requires changing multiple files), so I was not surprised that Aider completely missed the files it needed to modify to start (asking me to add 1 correct file and 2 incorrect files). I did a second attempt after manually adding the correct files. After doing this, it produced an equivalent diff to Claude Code. Aider did this in 1 LLM prompt, or about 15 seconds, with a total cost of $0.07, about 10% of the Claude Code cost.

Overall, it seems clear that the higher level of autonomy carries a higher cost with it. My project here was 7k SLOC; I would worry about ballooning costs on much larger projects.
I've burnt about $100 in Claude code so far.

It's very cool but highly limited in many ways.

It feels like this same statement has applied to LLMs since their popularity explosion.
It doesn’t do that for things rarely done before though. And it’s poisoned with opinions from the internet. E.g. you can convince it that we have to remove bullshit layers from programming and make it straightforward. It will even print a few pages of vague bullet points about it, if not yet. But when you ask it to code, it will dump a react form.

I’m not trying to invalidate experiences itt, cause I have a similar one. But it feels futile as we are stuck with our pre-AI bloated and convoluted ways of doing things^W^W making lots of money and securing jobs by writing crap nobody understands why, and there’s no way to undo this or to teach AI to generalize.

I think this novelty is just blindness to how bad things are in the areas you know little about. For example, you may think it solves the job when you ask it to create a button and a route. And it does. But the job wasn’t to create a route, load and validate data and render it on screen in a few pages and files. The job was to take a query and to have it on screen in a couple of lines. Yes it helps writing pages of our nonsense, but it’s still nonsense. It works, but feels like we have fooled ourselves twice now. It also feels like people will soon create AI playbooks for structuring and layering their output, cause ability to code review it will deteriorate in just a few years with less seniors and much more barely-coders who get into it now.

I didn't mention anything about Palestine or Hamas? I just gave a blanket statement saying that I support any non-citizen who openly supports a terrorist organization being deported.

Also it has always been the case that you can be deported for supporting terrorism.

I'm a bit older than that crowd, I remember first hand where they came from and read the long form Guardian article when it was written.

I can certainly see why you would believe I am always right about everything, but the truth is stranger than fiction - sometimes even I am confidently wrong!

Just because I agree with the IMF doesn't make either of us correct. It was El Salvador's experiment and the IMF's motivations are highly suspect. They are globalist political actors, they aren't motivated by any particular love of the economies they intervene in or the people in them.
I think if you're at a company for more than a year then the chances are you need to support what you build. Also, how do you know you work with a "job hopper" until they leave? You always have to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're committed to the cause. It feels like you got burned at some point in the past but I could be wrong.
The tool itself would be of a lot of use in school science and design labs where a bunch of older kit lands from universities and such. I used to put a lot of floppy to usb converters on things like old ir spectrometers that were good enough still for school use.
LLMs don't reason the way we do, but there are similarities at the cognitive pre-conscious level.

I made a challenge to various lawyers and the Stanford Codex (no one took the bait yet) to find critical mistakes in the "reasoning" of our Legal AI. One former attorney general told us that he likes how it balances the intent of the law. Sample output (scroll and click on stats and the donuts on the second slide):

I built the AI using an inference-time=scaling approach that I evolved over a year's time, and it is based on Llama for now, but could be replace with any major foundational model.

> Yes you do. You can not just barge into someones home and perform an illegal search + arrest

Search and arrest, yes. If police see probable cause to arrest from the street, they can arrest.

> because there's no clear imminent threat of violence

Violence is unnecessary. If you’re caught shoplifting, the cop can arrest you without a warrant even if you weren’t violent.

The article is newer. We know where he is.
i agree with this. However…

It’s worth mentioning (as a public FYI) that it’s not smart to _expect_ to stay with a company for 10+ years, from a risk mitigation perspective. At least not in 2025.

It’s kind of like picking a stock. Purposely picking just 1 stock for your portfolio carries great risk. Likewise, picking 1 job and/or 1 tech stack and hoping for the best is also high risk. It’s smart to at least dabble in new trendy technology for 1-2 days a month. Maybe review basic leet code questions once a year. Maybe every 2-3 years, apply somewhere else and go through the interview process strictly for practice. Who knows, maybe you’ll get a great offer? Just examples of what one can do to reduce the risk when a layoff occurs.

Regardless of what your culture taught you, try to reduce your risk. It might be outside your comfort zone, but better to be uncomfortable than unemployed. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket (one company, one tech stack). Keep your interview skills a _little_ sharp so that you don’t panic if a layoff occurs. It’s just common sense.
Statement what?

I think it is kinda an insidious system where it is expected we would have a statement vs any possible bad thing.

I’m all for innocent until proven guilty. If this guy mailed a check to hamas directly then fine by me, otherwise I say prove it.
> Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania are in NATO. "Defensive alliance" means the US bankrolls and guarantees their security, there is no two way street with them, they can do nothing for us.

They can do a lot of harm when used against you. The part of Europe, which had fallen under Russian domination at the end of WWII, is where the most advanced Soviet weapons were developed and manufactured, because it had the most educated population and most the skilled specialists. Romania, for instance, produced a significant amount of electronics for Soviet weapons. After the USSR collapsed, these factories were converted to producing control boards for Western vacuum cleaners and microwaves. Would you rather see Russia overrun Romania and convert these factories back to producing military radars, missile guidance systems, and sonars for nuclear submarines whose sole purpose is to sneak up on American cities and set them on fire? The Soviet S-75 SAMs on Cuba that shot down the American U-2 spy plane piloted by Rudolf Anderson had Romanian electronics inside, as had many other weapons that killed Americans all over the world. Ukraine manufactured the best Soviet nuclear missiles, now the very same factories are subcontractors for NASA. Poland was known for its shipyards, Bulgaria was a powerhouse of ammo manufacturing.

Denying Russia access to this pool of talent for the promise of helping those countries in case of a Russian invasion is an incredible bargain, especially considering that such a guarantee sharply reduces the risk of invasion in the first place. You get it all for free, as long as the guarantee remains credible enough to deter the invasion. All the US president has to do is appear believable when he says that he'll nuke Moscow if Russia invades Poland. That doesn't cost much.
A receiver isn't a method. It's the "self" instance the method is invoked on. It's standard OOP terminology.

I'm with you regarding marshaling, but not because it's not an industry-standard term, it's just that Go misapplies it. Marshaling historically has referred to describing a remote procedure call and its return value; for example, you call "CreateFoo()" with a "CreateRequest", the latter must be marshaled into a payload that the remote call can read. For a network call this requires serializing the data to bytes using some kind of format, but for a local call it could just be a pointer to a data structure. However, historically people have often mixed the two terms. Python's standard library also misuses "marshal" to refer to serialization.
heh my friend and I (young teens at the time) used to wire photoresistors into the analog in pins on the joy port. We put the sensors in toilet paper tubes on one side of a hallway with small lights across from them and wrote BASIC code that would turn on a light via the annunciator outputs when change was detected.

Then we’d see if we could sneak down the hall undetected, Mission Impossible style. I never noticed the detection speed varying with light level but I guess it did!
There is a big difference between solving a critical bug, which is your job, vs. passing an arbitrary leetcode test from a disinterested 22 year old where you might lose your house if you get it wrong. You have 15 minutes.
First, rote work is the kind I hate most and so having AI do it is a huge win. It’s also really good for finding bugs, albeit with guidance. It follows complicated logic like a boss.

Maybe you are running into the problem I did early. I told it what I wanted. Now I tell it what I want done. I use Claude Code and have it do its things one at a time and for each, I tell it the goal and then the steps I want it to take. I treat it as if it was a high-level programming language. Since I was more procedural with it, I get pretty good results.

I hope that helps.
It makes me think about how many ancient ruins don't exist simply because the people nearby didn't see reason not to reuse all that convenient unowned pre-quarried rock.

Even today, it's not a very compelling plea: "No, don't tear down the recently-abandoned building, it would look cool several hundred years after you die."

So too on the microscopic label, if there are convenient molecules nobody else is using...
> LLMs will be the same. At the moment people are still mostly playing with it, but pretty soon it will be "hey why are you writing our REST API consumer by hand? LLM can do that for you!"

Not everyone wants to be a "prompt engineer", or let their skills rust and be replaced with a dependency on a proprietary service. Not to mention the potentially detrimental cognitive effects of relegating all your thinking to LLMs in the long term.
It has ALWAYS been the case that non-citizens who endorse terrorist activities can be deported from the US.

How long should the screening process be?

You seem to assert it's indefinite, which is clearly not constitutional.
That really depends in your time horizon
To the extent it's similar to any other culture I agree, the closest feels like brazil (to me) - but it's also very distinct, it's very much it's own thing in a way that few other cultures are (I would probably count the UK as one of those few by the way).

Latin America is all quite similar.

Mainland Europe is quite similar, bar the obvious exception.
Some lessons from monorepos:

Node Version Manager (nvm) with .nvmrc helps local conformance to a specific version of Node.js.

It's a chore to discover inter-repo dependencies, like utils/ depends on a/ and b/; it's a good thing to add to the docs.

`npm pack` with `file:/absolute/path/to.tgz` may be easier to reason about than linking. (Be sure to substitute with the real [or future] version before committing.)

After changing a common/ package, we have to merge one library, wait for it to publish, and then consume that new version in the next lib(s). So then the PRs have to happen in sequence and block other changes (or rebase accordingly).

If on Github, traversing to older commits (click Blame on package.json) really helps figure which version supported the older framework or dependencies you need to keep.
That infrastructure has always existed. The law 9 FAM 302.6 lays out grounds for inadmissibility.

It’s similar to the laws that prevent former Nazi regime members from immigrating to the US.

As a non-citizen, you are held to more strict standards as to your conduct. Every country does this.
> it seems like any support for civilians on either side is inevitably presumed to be support for the worst crimes of that group's nation support for terrorism or anti antisemitism or such

Eh, I’d draw a line between someone circulating pro-Hamas or pro-Netanyahu fliers and someone speaking to the plight and the cause. And I’d draw a further line between someone trying to enact policies favourable to them (note: not which they might find favour with, that’s much broader) or sending resources their way.
> No, this is mob rule.

I understand why you would say that, but I don't think you've thought it through, understood the point I'm making, and tried to disarm the strongest version of it possible.

Go and read the preamble to the declaration of independence, seriously. America was founded by citizens of Great Britain stating that they are the final arbiters of justice, not British courts. The British courts would have said the founding fathers are violating the law. They would have found them participating in mob rule, and they did try to put down that mob with an army.

You should answer a few questions:

(1) What is a right, and what is the relationship between law and rights. Does law grant rights, or does law protect rights?

(2) How does a government go from absolute monarchy (king is able to make all the laws and enforce them arbitrarily) to a law based society?

(3) How do you bootstrap a law based society? Can you make a law based society without breaking the law?

(4) Was the civil rights movement under MLK a form of mob rule?

I disagree with that argument entirely.
The parallel AP article (https://apnews.com/article/columbia-university-mahmoud-khali...) says he is no longer in New Jersey and may have been moved to Louisiana. It also says (implies?) that neither his wife nor his lawyer have been in touch with him nor know where he is being kept.
It's very specialized already, though.

How many devs could debug both a K8s network configuration issue and a bug in an Android app caused by a weird vendor's OS tweak? Not most of us.

Some people will be better at pushing the LLM things to generate the write crap for the MVP. Some people will be better at using these tools for testing and debugging. Some people will be better at incidence response. They'll probably all be using tools with some level of AI "magic" in them, but the specialization will be somewhat recognizable to what it's been for the past decade.

If you're on the business side you still want a team of people running that stuff until there's a step-change in the ability to trust these things and they get so good you'd be able to give over control of all your cloud/datacenter/network/whatever infrastructure and spending.

And at THAT point... the unemployed software engineers can team up with the unemployed lawyers and doctors and blue-collar workers who were replaced by embodied-LLM-powered robots and ... go riot and ransack some billionare's houses until they decide that these new magical productivity machines should let everyone have more free time and luxury, not less.
The bulk of BTC is owned by like 50 people. It’s such a fucking joke.
Remember, LLMs have seen all the code in the Internet. And there is also a lot of bad code out there...
> The article is newer. We know where he is.

Okay then tell me: Where is he being held? Here's a quote from his attorney:

> "Currently, we do not know Mahmoud’s precise whereabouts. Initially, we were informed this morning that he had been transferred to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey," Greer added.

> "However, when his wife – a U.S. citizen who is eight months’ pregnant and was threatened with arrest as well by the ICE agents last night – tried to visit him there today, she was told he is not detained there."
I know some of the lithium-sodium batteries behave differently now but my Model Y yells at me whenever I charge above 80% or go below 20%, saying it's bad for the battery. Not exactly inspiring if it causes more wear unless you sacrifice 40% of the range.
The reason a person gains weight is CICO.

The reason a population gains weight is way more complicated and probably best short-handed as “social”. Moving to America typically makes people gain weight. Leaving it leads to weight loss. If you’re trying to fix an overweight population, you need to look at lots and lots of things and, demonstrably (as in: the science is pretty clear), telling people to simply eat less and even very expensive high-touch interventions aimed at diet correction don’t work. Wrong tree to bark up, your solution lies elsewhere—or, probably, several elsewheres.

(But drugs might work!)
On the contrary, I was able to get GPT to generate the logo for my website[0] in about an hour of trial and error, here's some tips:

* Give it an SVG to start with, and tell it what you want to make

* With each successive prompt, tell it to adjust only one thing

* If it ever goes backwards instead of forwards, edit your previous prompt instead of telling it to correct

* Test the SVG render outside of ChatGPT's window, since it doesn't show the bounding box or all colors properly

Reading some of the comments in the "Layoffs don't work" right before reading comments here must have been one of the more surreal experiences for me :)

The takes are as different as (paraphrasing): "if a person can't create something with en empty text editor, I fail them", and "if a person can't speed run through an unrealistically large set of goals because they don't use AI-assisted development, I fail them".

I guess one should keep their skills at both honed at all times, even if neither are particularly useful at most real jobs, because you never know when you're going to be laid off and interviewing.
Steve Yegge, you should know who he is AND the post also mentioned Cursor and Windsurf. His own company works on a similar product.

Thank you. This is concerning. I’ll keep an eye out for a statement from the lawyer. It may be that nobody is telling the press while the internet runs with the meme.
I enjoyed the first book "Mickey 7" but it left of in the middle of the story and the second book was oOK (most of the jokes had gotten old and hole in the plot were starting to show). I might go see it.

>A home space heater is something on the order of 1 kW, which is a fraction of a percent of what is needed to move the car.

How are you getting "fraction of a percent of what is needed to move the car"?. Wikipedia says the model 3 (long range, RWD) has 82 kWh capacity and 363 mi range. If you drive at 40mph that's 9hrs of driving, meaning the car consumes 9kW at that speed. 1kW is not "fraction of a percent" of that.
