Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

That depends on when I read the code, which itself depends on how important the project is

In my experience, coding agents are incredible at producing working implementations, but still *terrible* at architecture. If you need 50 lines of tricky implementation, they'll write it for you; but they'll put it in the wrong place and call it from the wrong place.

Literally nobody, including MAGA, had any ideological commitment or pre-existing policy goal of picking a fight with Canada. This is all happening solely because the crazy old man randomly blurted it out. And that makes it worse. There's nothing to negotiate, no aim to satisfy. He's just insane.

I deeply hate house flies, but recently while at a restaurant one landed in my water glass and got stuck, and I could not stand the thought of watching it drown, so I fished it out and set it free. The well-being of bugs is a weird subject

I consider receiving AI-written text from someone as at least moderately disrespectful, especially if they don’t disclose that fact up front.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

I strongly dislike AI writing git commit messages because it is a rite of passage to eventually have a string of increasingly desperate messages like: * should work this time * logging * for real fix * moar logging * maybe? * god help me * listen man I don't know anymore * asldfjq3049tuslfgjhl

The two days that JD Vance spent in Hungary desperately trying to shore up support for Putin’s lapdog Viktor Orbán reminded me of what a pathetic, loathsome, lying, traitorous scumbag he is.
