We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Haiti TPS has been TERMINATED.
Those with terminated TPS are in our nation Illegally. They have two options: LEAVE IMMEDIATELY or be DEPORTED.

Underneath is a screenshot of a video showing two Haitian men in chains being led to the aircraft. I didn’t post the video, but it’s vile.

Can't emphasise how much I feel these are exactly the sort of use cases and users the web was made for: "hobbyists, hackers, educators, makers and developers"! Not everything has to be about corporate bottom lines sometimes the web can just be for fun tinkering (but also lots of real world use too)!

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

i started this several weeks ago tl;dr is i think coding agents might actually be a real live use case for large language models but: a) that doesn't automatically entail a glide path to victory b) certainly not for the vendors of chatbots-as-a-service buttondown.com/dorian/archi...

The arc of large language models is mediocre, and it bends toward “target procurement”.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

”The distinction between programmer and user is reinforced and maintained by a tech industry that benefits from a population rendered computationally passive. If we accept and adopt the role of less agency, we then make it harder for ourselves to come into more agency.”

ideally you define the user experience before the data model so the dependency goes the other way

I've heard in high level play it's more of a way to self regulate since things move too fast for the refs to catch everything, and there's a lot of bad behavior that has a much higher risk of causing injury than fighting

as a player in an ice hockey beer league, the penalty for fighting is so severe it's incredibly rare also fighting on skates seems silly, you have so little leverage it's hard to hit someone with any force anyway
