The disconnect between the talking heads talking about how AI is "writing all their code now" and my daily lived experience with opus 4.6 is still baffling to me. It definitely changes how I work, but I'm still correcting and fixing things that it gets wrong constantly.

having used claude extensively for the past couple of months, i think there is still a lot of value to understanding your code and steering it intentionally. the amount of incidental complexity claude accumulates otherwise (which mostly results in bugs that it can't ever fix reliably) is staggering.

if the media had any integrity β€” and it doesn’t anymore β€” they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable."

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an β€˜unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as β€œunaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

Absolutely enraging. ICE kidnapped a 16 year old child in Mpls, refused to let him go home, sent him to a youth shelter in Michigan and LOST TRACK OF HIM. The family’s lawyer used an investigator to trace a phone call and locate him. (🎁 link)

Pennsylvania high school students violently attacked by police during anti-ICE walkout From Pennsylvania to Virginia, Oklahoma and Texas, authorities are suspending and criminalizing youth protesting immigration enforcement.

In Quakertown, PA, up to 50 students walked out in protest of ICE, despite attempts by school authorities to stop demonstrations. Students were violently attacked when the police chief put one student in a choke hold as police made several arrests. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

I'm not trying to argue against your expertise on the subject, I just find it frustrating when people say something is wrong without clearly explaining why or how it is wrong. Is there a source you can share with us about how humans construct sentences?

What is the connection between how we read and our ability to predict logical words to put together to form sentences?

This the skeleton key that explains the entire left-of-center political and informational environment. There is no social reward for ever saying anything nice about a mainline Democrat, so no one does. As a result, baseless antipathy towards the party completely pervades the environment.

The Craven Broadcasting System thought it better to cower from Brendan Carr rather than air this thoughtful Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social. It was fifteen minutes well spent this morning to watch it.

We’re going to talk a little bit more about the Democratic Party. If you had to use one or two words to describe the Democratic Party, what words would you pick?


Mike, 33, N.C., white, Democrat, telecomms
Spineless.


Jill, 47, Md., white, Democrat, real estate agent
More complacent than I thought they would be.


Michael, 56, Ore., white, Democrat, bookdealer
Paralyzed.


Denise, 57, Ga., Latina, Democrat, account manager
Afraid.


Panth, 29, Ariz., Asian, independent, computer science
Incompetent.


Kai, 36, Wash., white, independent, care coordinator
I guess suffocated, or given up. Our local government’s trying to do a lot. But then in the House and the Senate, they’re getting voted against with the Republican majority, so.


Terrill, 68, Ind., Black, Democrat, retired
Sold out. I just feel we were never being governed. We’re being looted. The Democratic Party lined their pockets and created β€” they created this mess. I do like what Trump’s doing in terms of the tariffs. They’ve been milking us for God knows when.

This is very welcome news. I had already switched a ton of scripts to C#, but was forced to toggle to VS Code to edit them.

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Immigration has made the US economy great and it will do so again.

But we need our leaders to stand up for it. No cowardice, no poll-watching on immigration. Defend it. Praise immigrants. Americans are ready to hear it.
