I would argue that the USA suffers from its bipartisan system in a lot of ways; among them the problem of two parties having to span an incredibly wide range of political positions that are often so far apart to be almost irreconcilable. I&

Fair point, I hadn’t considered that angle. That said, I still think you can construct many scenarios where your consent to prosecution as a victim are meaningless from a legal perspective. For a closer example to the original consideration

As a citizen of one of the European countries you mentioned, let me tell you: The DSA would run as a center-left party in pretty much the entire union. You have—respectfully—not a clue what socialism means, because the DSA agenda has absolu

Oh, humans can definitely do that, in some capacity, if they're attentive, slept enough, aren't hungry, or in emotional distress, for a limited amount of time. A generalised algorithm can do this consistently, billions of times, w

That can is rendered entirely meaningless by the conditions in that statement. In the same sense you can also declare yourself king of the USA.

That's not slavery, because you only declare yourself at my service, but you never sign a contract giving your rights away in exchange for something. That's the part you cannot do, regardless of whether it's voluntary.

Luckily, that isn't how the law works. Or is supposed to work, anyway. You cannot, for example, sell yourself as a slave to somebody else, because slavery is illegal - even if you opt into it. So whether something is a felony isn'

I’m all for this, if we also set up a system to let society pay for artists. And I mean in full: cover for their living expenses; their rent; internet access; materials; everything. Or how do you suppose art gets created for humanity as a

This is not an excuse for anything. A democracy doesn’t come for free, but requires active participation from everyone.

The pattern of piping an arbitrary script to your shell? This should be an ordinary app bundle to drop into /Applications, or be distributed as an installer. The readme even says so itself: > A bad curl | sh , a sketchy npm install

More mundanely, you could also use it as a marker character, given that nobody except for sneaky little QA hobbitses will ever use it in their input.

The default status line doesn't do that, but admittedly it has been a while since I used vanilla Claude Code. Either way, it definitely does not display weekly limits out of the box

You can do tons more, really. There’s even a built-in /statusline command to modify it; mine shows both context window usage alongside session and weekly limit, all of them as progress bars. Just ask Claude to do it.

We should have moved past storing code in files, using the filesystem as the symbol database of programs, a long time ago. There was a lot of interesting research toward this in Haskell, for example, but also Academia in general. There’d be

Of all the places I could spend some time to work, a greasy, run-down, dirt-cheap fast food "restaurant" really is the last option… I’d pay more voluntarily to not spend a second there longer than necessary.

Just a few more months, and the industry will consider OOP the next big thing again. Interfaces as contracts between modules? Obviously superior!

That is true… unless AI were to end up as a public good, available to everyone, not in the hands of a few oligarchs. Radical times may need radically different approaches.

I can be against animal testing without being a chemist or having a full understanding of the experiments being made on them. Knowing it's cruelty is enough to make opposition a valid and defensible position.
