You may be living in a bubble. There are tons of developers still coding by hand, and many industries that don't trust machine generated code in general.

I would be interested in seeing a similar list of predictions from Altman, Amodei, etc with annotations about how many have come true. Ed Zitron is a blow hard and frequently overstates things to the point where it is hard to take seriousl

Have you considered releasing any of this as a plug for phoenix or similar? I’ve also toyed with this approach and have a similar labyrinth on my website, but it just serves back huge amounts of meaningless text one word at a time.

They are technicalities, because the intent of the law is clean air. A carve out for temporary generators is clearly not intended to allow megawatts of permanent generation to operate outside of the regulatory umbrella and abuse of it is a

Food and rent are affected by everything else getting more expensive. Fuel is used quite extensively while farming - in case you haven't ever been on a farm - and with this idiotic war with Iran fuel costs have gone up massively. Tra

That's the thing, all this noise and crying from the hateful transphobes and it's over ~1000 people out of 8,300,000,000. You know, I thought conservatives used to care about "freedom" but this shit just proves how much

Blah blah blah. Yap yap yap. It’s funny how the laws always apply until it’s a rich fucker breaking them. You might be fine with skirting the technicalities, but the rest of us have to live here and breathe the air.

“Move fast and break things” seems like a sound business strategy until people start waking up and wonder why everything is broken. For a similar example, see “Meta” and the legal trouble they are in for harming children and teens.

Since you supposedly care about women so much I’m sure you can tell me how many trans women were playing in college and professional sports in 2020 versus today. Go ahead. Give me numbers.

Turns out, the real “TDS” was in the morons who thought a treasonous conman would fix the country this whole time. Almost like his critics were fucking right.

It may be fun to fantasize about these things some times, but there is no technical solution to tyranny. Laws are not like code, intent matters. Ultimately if the intent is that the government wants to see your private data, hiding it in

I am right. CBO. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/cbo-scores-ira-238-billion-defici... It's pretty pointless to compare individual bills though as they are usually packaged up with the whole goals of the administration.

I’m sure Thomas needs an upgraded RV, so that’s easily handled. And the rest of the conservative ‘justices’ seem happy to betray the constitution for free.
