Vibe coding has a legitimate use case for creating little one off shell scripts, but anything more complicated and you're digging your own tech debt grave.

Hey, thanks for the correction! This is something I heard quite a while back and since I trusted the source never bothered to verify. Still a pretty fucked up situation, but not quite as bad as I thought.

I'm beginning to think that like 20% of the population is borderline sociopathic, not naturally but induced by a toxic culture and crushing capitalism.

IMO the number one thing people sleep on about the Jefferson/Hemmings relationship is that she was his sister. His father had also been fucking one of his young slave girls and kept their children as slaves. Hemmings was 1/8th African and would easily pass as white in the modern world.

Fun fact: the bear on the California flag was hunted to extinction by cattle ranchers

The fucked up thing is that settlements like this come out of the tax payers pockets instead of from the corrupt racist officials at fault

To paraphrase Mark Twain, you can't explain the end of a policy with logic when it wasn't used to create the policy.

Any #longsword or #hema practitioners out there that use Thokk gloves? My club has banned them for longsword use and I'm curious if anyone out there uses them/loves them/hates them. I quite like the added dexterity but apparently there was a safety incident that got them banned.

You can't be on the side of protecting immigrants, but only the ones with the politics you like or you're just Stephen Miller in a costume

You hit command tab to select the applications you don't want running, and then command Q to quit them. Turn off your wifi and put your app you want to focus on in full screen mode.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleaguesโ€™ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

I love the Sacramento airport, way too big for the amount of traffic it gets and an absolute breeze to get through, although it should ready have some transit options to get downtown

His cultists will believe a lot of his lies, but this isn't one of them. I have a small glimmer of hope thatbthey will see this obvious lie conflict with their lived experience and begin to think, what else has he been lying about? Will this actually happen? Probably not but it's a nice fantasy.

Any recommendations besides romance of the three kingdoms? I downloaded it and got through the first dozen pages or so but its pretty dense

Ay this point the open models are good enough that OpenAI just exists to train new ones. If (when) they crash there's zero reason the fed should step in.
