Remember, Trump has a tell: Every time he uses the word “exonerated,” he’s brazenly lying.

That’s especially true when it comes to Epstein: www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

“I believed stupid things and my child suffered horrible for it” is quite a gut punch.

“It wasn’t me, it was God’s plan” is, I suppose, one way to avoid dealing with it.

One thing MAGA and MAHA have in common is they are all cowards totally lacking in moral fiber.

It is mind blowing to me that one company I work with has to maintain separate purchasing, segregated inventory, and has to periodically prove that even pencils for other tasks aren’t being purchased with DOD funds, while tax dollars are putting his and her bidets in the good ship Womp Womp.

Wild that we’ve reached the point where we’d kill for even 1 or 2 GOP senators to suck at his level today.

I don’t think anyone should EVER have to listen to Couchf*** McGee pup.

“Win us medals while we try to get the SCOTUS to ignore the constitution and take away your birthright citizenship and build concentration camps” doe seem to be the sort of thing a couch humping, anthropomorphic crotch stain would say…

My favorite McArdle is when she posted that humans are exceptionally good at gender identification and then, a few posts later, gave her thoughts on why she gets misidentified as a man.

To be clear, this is what a lot of humans do. Lift code, tweak it, and use it as their own while ignoring the license agreement we original creators put on our work.

So tools like Claude Code didn’t invent this “coding”, they just automate it.

But it still should be part of a viability question.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good the article tries to pose biz and philosophical questions, but how do you really examine either until you accept how LLM “coding” works.

It is car theft/chop shop type tool. It takes others code, disguises the source and delivers it to you.

But he envies Joes magnificent paws.🙂

This was an interesting read for me. It really conveyed the instant gratification dopamine fix that eludes me when I look at these tools.

But most interesting to me was the anthropomorphism. Ben attributes a lot of credit to CC that belongs to the humans whose work is being stolen and tweaked.

Good morning to you!

Good morning everyone! 😸🐾

So you’re saying that a corrupt former president who abused the powers of his office can face charges, be convicted, and be held accountable?

Tell me more.

I’d be interested in seeing all the self described Christians around him answer that one.

It’s a pretty nuanced parable. Something tells me that none of them have read it closely or given it much thought.

DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Is there a technology the left is excited about?

Journalists Arrested in Cameroon While Reporting on Trump’s Secretive Deportation Program

By far the most progressive president of my lifetime.

Sometimes I really don’t want to know what someone is subskeeting about…🤢

The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants AI coding assistants promise speed, but do they deliver? Explore data, developer insights, and security risks showing why AI feels faster but often slows production. Learn where tools like Cursor and ...

Yes, the study focussed on experienced programmers. There is some evidence that AI might help junior staff with completing simple assignments.

Some is linked in this article.

My personal observation is that it also stunts junior folks professional development.

Why are we paying for him to have a staff? This seems like something they could have explained to him with crayons or sock puppets.

Timeline cleanse.

Hegseth welcomes radical Christian nationalist to lead an official Pentagon prayer service Pastor Doug Wilson’s role at an official event at the Defense Department should be seen as a scandal worthy of scrutiny.

Pastor Doug Wilson wants to ban women from voting and end First Amendment protections for minority faiths he doesn’t like.

Hegseth invited this fringe Christian nationalist to the Pentagon yesterday to lead an official prayer event.

How is this not a scandal?

Interrupts couldn’t work because there is interrupt jitter (time to respond to an interrupt varies). The outputs needed to be clock locked. The timer let outputs be adjusted in 12nS steps.

I could go on… but I’m going to mute you instead.😘

Vibe coding firmware is always going to be worse because MCU’s are specialized and the training set is narrower.

In this case what was needed was about 15 lines of code setting up a timer with outputs. When I was called in it was about 1500 lines of code and using interrupts…

Claude Code doesn’t think, it probability from its training, so he got complicated gibberish, because CC clearly stole from ArduPilot and PX-4, which both use more complex (and different) embodiments.

The 2nd most recent was dumber - an attempt to vibe code firmware…

Well new account, I can give you lots of examples of Claude Code wasting time that I have personally observed. I see it almost every week. Here are two most recent.

A programmer was trying to add a Mavlink serial stream to his project. This is trivial, the bindings are a header file, but…
