He wasn't in the country illegally. So, what's the crime? Don't you think it's dangerous to not just deport legal immigrants but to send them to a prison camp for hire in El Salvador which is run by a Trump sycophant?

FWIW: It is legal to seek asylum under US and international law.

Not to mention the cruelty, bigotry and racism behind this all. Immigrants are the strength of the US. They contribute to our culture, population, and economy while getting little in return, relatively speaking.
The US isn't saving money on this. The IRS is predicting $500 billion shortfall in revenue from layoffs in tax enforcement alone.

I don't even agree with their demo video. It shows the "hard" way of autogenerating settings/getters, toString, hash, etc. The end result was like an additional ~80 boilerplate lines. I have no problem keeping those lines around.. opposed to adding the lombak.jar and changing my build config. I do understand the user perspective of it "just working" and of course the getters/setters will grow as you add fields... it just seems like such a low amount of code to keep around it shouldnt be too much hassle.

Was Luigi already tried and found to guilty? Don't let your bias show.

Also, your blend of argument feels like a straw man. You're not actually debating who pulled the trigger, but why millions of people suddenly and enthusiastically support a random assassination of a CEO of a health insurance company. Why do you think that happens? Can you conceive any explanation?

The installation instructions are a bit windy, so many people miss that there's a simple script that automates the install for you.

The one thing you have to watch out for : You need to return those scripts whenever Kobo has an update. You won't lose your data or anything but a standard Kobo update dialed disables Koreader
Also in my experience, but you have to take my word for it, C++ "feels" more mathematically correct than Python.

For me as an experienced developer Python has more undefined behaviour because it executes slightly different every time. The delays are different, threads work inconsistently.

It's a bit like the metaphor that our brain is so big with so many small rules that it feels like you have free will.

That's how Python feels. Somewhere in the millions of lines it generates there are bugs. I can sense it. Not enough to make it crash but they are there.
> fact-free, ad hominem rejoinder

At a certain point it becomes irrational to do anything else. When you know that the other side will entirely ignore all the facts that don’t fit their narrative and is inherently dishonest and hypocritical. Well.. it becomes a waste of time.

Also “fact-free, ad hominem” pretty much describes 95% of what is coming from a certain person’s mouth. Why would you have significantly higher standards for some random internet person?
Because moving stuff takes time and with a small project like this who is going to setup the infrastructure for that?

Also SourceForge supports version control that isn’t git.

Pidgin has actually moved their source code to Mercurial so is using Sourceforge for binary releases.

It depends what you mean by agent, first of all, but I’m going to assume you mean what I’ve called “narrow agency” here[0]: “[an LLM] that can _plan and execute_ tasks that happen outside the chat window“.

That humans make mistakes all the time is the reason we encode business logic in code and automate systems. An “if” statement is always going to be faster, more reliable, and have better observability than a human or LLM-based reasoning agent.

> Using Cursor, I felt like it was too easy to modify too many things in one go.

Same experience. It seems like it's just overloading the standard vscode UI, with no regard for what you're used to. Trying to press tab for what looks like a "normal" autocomplete will invoke the LLM autocomplete that will replace a bunch of lines somewhere else without you noticing. Terrible UX!

Modifications made by the chat interface are also hard to restrict to a specific part. Sure, you can give it context, but asking it to modify one thing (by highlighting a bunch of rows in a specific file and giving them as context) is likely to end up modifying a similar-looking thing somewhere else.

The potential is there with Cursor, but right now it's a mess for serious use. Waiting for editors that incorporate LLM-based autocomplete in a disciplined way where I'll actually feel like I'm the one in control. Maybe once the dumb hype around vibe coding dies down.
You mean Norway. (See the link the sibling comment)
For people on Kobo: Koreader handles standard epub way better than the native reader.

If you've ever tried reading an epub using Kobo that you didn't buy from the Kobo store, you may have noticed that highlighting text is very laggy. Koreader has no such lag.

Writing a Z80 disassembler using AI
If people cheat in a contest and you don't disqualify them, you give everyone an incentive to cheat: ideally they get away with not being found out, but even if they are found out their cheating can still have a positive RoI.

The only way to keep things fair is to exclude those who deliberately flaunt the rules, as is the case here.

But even aside from that, someone who deliberately breaks the rules isn't fit to enforce them.
Are you prepared to give several Trump appointed judges prosecutorial discretion over who can run in the midterms and 2028?

The problem that prosecutorial discretion will have to overcome is selective enforcement, or the perception thereof. The right wing European media is claiming this was common practice across parties. Now I don't know the truth of it, but it is a hard thought to get out of ones head, and a hard negative to prove.

wrt Le Pen, I find it noteworthy that evey English news article I have read avoids describing the actual crime [1], Which does seem more substantial than 99% of the Trump cases.

I find it interesting that it doesn't say "paying" users. Also, I remember there was at least one time when the New York Times allegedly gave away newspapers to boost circulation numbers. If chat gpt does not require a log in and someone uses two different computers logged out on chat gpt at least once a month each, you could argue he is two people as far as the company is concerned?
I worked like that for a year in uni because of RSI and it's very easy to get voice strain if you use your voice for coding like that. Many short commands is very tiring for the voice.

It's also hard to dictate code without a lot of these commands because it's very dense in information.

I hope something else will be the solution. Maybe LLMs being smart enough to guess the code out of a very short description and then a set of corrections.
I was trying to say that LLMs will not become more than what they are, especially since they are tools for profit in the modern system. It’s like an iPhone — the latest iPhone 16 Pro is, of course, better than the iPhone 3G, but conceptually, there is nothing new. The same goes for LLMs. In 15 years, we will probably have the same hallucinating LLM, just 10% thinner and 20% faster.

The tech industry, especially big corporations, doesn’t chase innovation; it chases repeatable, predictable profit.

I know there are a lot of Trump fans on this platform. Way more, or way more vocal, than during his first term.

> I do NOT want search to become any fuzzier than it already is.

For a specialized shop site you may want it. Search term: "something 150", the client is looking for a 1.5m something, if you're doing an exact text search your search engine will give you a lot of noise. Or you'll have to fiddle with synonyms, dictionaries and how you index your products with a huge chance to break other types of search queries.
Unfortunately, in today‘s world facts are interpreted as ideology. Take climate change: with the given scientific consensus you don’t need to „present all sides.“ A factually correct report will present the consensus. And still, some people will take this as „ideological.“

> 150,000 records — far past where JavaScript (and React) would crash with a stack overflow error

I think react-virtualized and stack tables can easily handle 1 million rows client-side without a problem (I saw the demo somewhere).

Web development is about convenience, and the speed of development is far more important than ultra optimizations. People simply don't care about super optimizations because servers are so fast these days, and bandwidth is cheap, almost free.

But it's an interesting project. Good luck.
> luckily avoided the issues you speak of

That may be a bit of an assumption. I've been perpetually surprised by expectation-versus-reality, especially in the database world where very few people publish comparative benchmarks because of the "DeWitt clause": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_DeWitt

Additionally, a lot of modern DevOps abstractions are most decidedly not zero cost! Containers, Envoys, Ingress, API Management, etc... all add up rapidly, to the point where most applications can't utilise even 1/10th of one CPU core for a single user. The other 90% of the time is lost to networking overheads.

Similarly, the typical developers' concept of "fast" doesn't align with mine. My notion of "fast" is being able to pump nine billion bits per second through a 10 Gbps Ethernet link. I've had people argue until they're blue in the face that that is unrealistic.
The part that struck me most was how much manual, error-prone work is still common in the industry. Still, I wonder how portable this is outside Netflix. It sounds like a very vertically integrated solution.

I discovered through the Guardian that a guy I was suing was a known criminal from another country. That's when I donated.

This is such a weird and ahistorical view.

The jews in Egypt didn't have much problems with their neighbours until nazism and zionism arrived.

'The bad muslims mistreated the jews when they came under influence of german thought, typical muslims, a european would never'.

Jews lived in Morocco since the first century AD, with the exception of the Fez massacre in 1033, mainly in peace. It's where jews could find immediate refuge when the christians drove them out of al-Andalus. 1948 onwards there were anti-jewish riots in Morocco, in response to jews leaving to presumably take part in the zionist atrocities in Palestine and the state of Israel.

Today anti-jewish and anti-zionist sentiment in Morocco is typically tied into anti-monarchist views, the king is perceived to be a traitor and possibly controlled by some supposed jewish conspiracy. You'll find a rather clear expression of this in e.g. Ahmed Rami, the infamous exiled antisemite, who combines distinctly nazi antisemitism with a moroccan muslim nationalism.
It's not only about having a boss. When a man and a woman land on opposite sides, the man stands a risk to be accused of sexual harassment, misconduct and being misogynistic.
I was thinking of a maul, yeah. What I've spotted is NFL guys pushing with their hands on a teammate's back, instead of (like in rugby, or what the Eagles do) getting their shoulders against his ass or upper thighs, which gives more power and better leverage.

Good point about using different players, and I even think I've seen that a time or two. As for why not always do it, I'm only guessing, but there may be an inherent advantage in preserving the possibility that it won't be a "tush push" play (I mean, maybe not for the Eagles, because they're so good at it, but for other teams who aren't). Like, maybe it keeps the linebackers a step or two deeper and increases the likelihood of success; or, if they provoke a "tush push" defense that opens up a more-promising play then the QB is best placed to run the counter. I don't really know, though.
You neglected to state what their "ideology" is.

I do agree with you. This is an issue that I need to think more on before I decide my stance. My initial comment was my immediate reaction but I do agree this is a difficult and nuanced decision. Even reading the quotes you provided gave me a feeling of the amount of time and decision making that went into the law and the various guidelines.

On one hand, content creators need to be paid. On the other, users should be able to protect their privacy. In the case of news, all should be welcome to participate in their society.

Is there a limit in where providing data in compensation opposed to money makes sense? I wouldn't trade my data for the weather, they can get a zip code. On the other hand, I do trade my data to my financial institutions so they can do fraud checks. So we do exist on a spectrum of data intrusion and getting our needs met.

Is trading data for news closer to checking the weather or doing banking? In todays world, I would say access to news is important and if you can't pay with money, its okay to pay with data in order to be informed about the news.
"the case against"

You know, doesn't matter what you say. If businesses want something, they'll do it to you whether it's the best interface or not.

Amazon forces "the rabble" into their chatbot customer service system, and hides access to people.

People get touchscreens in their car and fumble to turn on their fog lights or defrost in bad weather. They get voice assistant phone trees and angrily yell "operator and agent".

I really wish there were true competition that would let people choose what works for them.
Maybe, but the opposite might also be true. There is value in aggregating sources and filtering signal from noise. The value of such should increase with the growth of social media. Maybe you won’t reach everyone with such a business (see the decline in newspaper) but some will always pay for this
That isn’t an embellishment, it is, I’d say rather obviously, a statement about the next domino to fall.

High appetite -> lots of fruit imported -> consumption "explodes"

You can't consume what you don't have, so if they're not growing enough then they have to import them before they can be eaten.

Both importing and consumption are downstream of high demand, but consumption is downstream of high importing.

Seriously, that's good to hear. I really often encounter arguments that seem heavily ideology driven.

Do you have some sources for operational requirements not making things safer? And as far as I know there are plenty of fusion concepts in the lab, but very few that have actually been explored at the full reactor scale. If you have any pointers on recent developments in that direction I would also be curious to take a look.

But then I also have to ask why nuclear? Why not methanation (or hydrogen if storage becomes feasible) and gas power plants or some more sophisticated version of that? That has much better complementarity to solar. And it typically is preferred to nuclear by energy system models wherever seasonality is strong.

Also I haven't really seen any proposals discussing long term waste storage. Again do you have any sources that discuss this?
They rolled same thing for 18.4 on phones and tablet - I don't recall seeing post-update modal for enabling updates before.

No, a pattern does not refer to changing the key of the scale.

A pattern is a way of playing a scale across the strings without having to move your hand. To play the same scale in the same key at a different position on the neck, the pattern of notes is different.

You have to learn 5 different patterns to be able to play a single pentatonic scale anywhere on the neck.

Obviously they all start at a different position if you want to use a different key - that is easy. Still 5 patterns to learn though just for that one scale.
