Woah there… likely neither? I was curious too, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this “zero sugar but not actually” label before in stores.

It’s not a “which payment” window though, it’s a “confirm payment information” window. In that type of window you’d expect clicking on any of the existing form fields would allow you to change that field. It would be wild if clicking on a c

Yeah, but the current state of ChatGPT doesn’t really do this. The comment you’re replying to explains why URLs from ChatGPT generally aren’t constructed from raw tokens.

Yes, just like that. Supporting regulation at one point in time does not undermine the point that we should not trust corporations to do the right thing without regulation. I might trust the Anthropic of January 2026 20% more than I trust O

Are you saying the opposite of manufacturing consent would result in a media that isn’t challenging and conforms to people’s biases? The way I see it you can do both at once. Exaggerating/downplaying stories in a way that confirms bias

Right, but this post is about hypertrophy (big muscles). Not about heavy lifts.

The funny thing is I’ve never seen an author of a post chime in and say “hey! I wrote this entirely myself” on an AI accusation. I either see sheepish admission with a “sorry, I’ll do better next time” or no response at all. Not saying the

Ah I just read your comment after posting the same rec! I went into panic world with low expectations and they’ve blown me away. It’s really, really good if you’re interested in internet cultures.

I’ve been really impressed by how much I’ve learned listening to Panic World. At first I thought it was a humor show but it’s basically internet anthropology detailing all the ways the internet makes us insane. This episode about eating dis

When I say “our economic system” I am not talking about capitalism generally, I’m talking about the US system specifically, where we are: 51st in percentage of the population that lives in poverty [1] Decent but worse than social democratic

Couldn’t you also say it’s largely unfactual, since the vast majority of strivers and grinders never escape their economic class? I guess it depends on what opportunity means to you. Does it mean something that’s “likely” or “less than one

“Medicare is funded by making everyone pay for it. So, I think it follows that Medicare for All could be funded by making everyone pay for it“ I’m unsure of your point on this one. Both recent fleshed-out m4a policy proposals (Bernie and Wa

The ownership class will 1) have to pay more in taxes and 2) will lose power over their employees who under the current system are pressured to keep their jobs or lose healthcare. As for lesser outcomes, I’m not sure how it works practicall

I don’t think my system is zero sum! Acknowledging that some population will be harmed is not saying it’s equal and opposite to the benefits. Medicare for all is useful to many, many people. But it does have downsides to some populations: t

by jjj123 10mo ago
Not sure about usefulness as the metric. How do you account for populations that will be harmed by a policy? “Not useful” doesn’t really capture it. I usually think of policies as “who gets what, who loses what”, and form my opinion around

Were they a python engineer? I interview folks all the time in languages I don’t understand, and I ask dumb questions throughout the interview. I’ve been a professional (non-python) programmer for over a decade now and I don’t really know w

The line directly after that says data from older years is incomplete, so no it does not say that.

I simply do not care if my public services are “in the red”. Let’s make them entirely in the red, please.

I cannot tell if the author would agree with this, but here’s my take: There’s nothing wrong with using the ?? operator, even liberally. But in cases where 1) you don’t think the left side should be undefinable at all or 2) the right side i

The main idea is not an excuse to be a bad person, but it does justify making an ungodly amount of money, and making even more money after you’ve already made an ungodly amount of money. And for not letting that money get taken by taxes (go

“OK” is an over-simplified word to use here. It’s incredibly complicated. And it changes with the era and location. If it’s illegal to be gay where you are, or if there literally is no societal understanding of gayness like in the 1700s or

CEO of Decagon’s quote about Man’s Search for Meaning, a book that’s largely a first hand account of the horrors of the holocaust: “Not hard for founders to maintain grit when others have suffered far worse.” That really made me laugh. What

Only speaking for myself (also not a political wonk): I do not expect Mamdani to be able to enact all of his policies. Not because of money but because of political opposition from the powerful. I felt the same about Bernie and Medicare for

Isn’t moving from an ic to management exactly that? I know an ex-engineer well who switched to management because they wanted to be a VP (their words).

It’s rhetorical. It sounds and feels nice to a subset of the population. And I do believe it’s literally true for a small subset of the population. The people who have a personality that fits well into corporate structures, who believe in “

I’m confused by your comment. Signals do reduce manual render management. By default, usestate causes unnecessary rerenders which signals avoid (all automatically).

Is it also possible he’s scared of any collective action because collective action chips away at his power as a billionaire?

Sure, but it sounds like you have a problem with prettier/white space auto-formatters in general? My comment was assuming you want an auto-formatter, and I gave the reasons for why you’d want it to apply on save vs format-on-commit or

How does that account for the disgusting klarna ads I see in NYC that glorify buying things you cannot afford? Either they got over their shock fast and learned how to take advantage of us, or it was the plan all along.

I love format on save. I can type (or paste) ignoring whitespace, hit save, and everything pops right into place for me. Also, stuff not auto formatting is usually immediate feedback that I didn’t match my parenthesis or have some other maj
