Amazon/Whole Foods in our area seems consistently unable to pack bananas in a way that doesn't result in bruising. I'm beginning to think they train them to put heavy cans on top of bananas for some reason.

To be clear, that's not a reason not to prosecute illegal hacking, and a future DOJ might have a different opinion. It would be good for their own well being if the AI companies started behaving accordingly, but they're all either cults or run by deranged billionaires who think they're above the law.

Yes, in aggregate -- the whole group, not cherry-picked individuals -- racial groups vote differently from each other. In 2024, if only Black people had voted, we'd have President Harris now. This is beyond dispute.

The Democratic base is way too angry for that to fly this time. If Jeffries tries it he'll be removed as speaker.

oh yeah? which attitudes do you take issue with?

you're excusing a cold blooded murder. what is wrong with you? what has happened to your sense of humanity? they executed him while he was no danger to them. that's murder, not law enforcement. there is no legitimate excuse for it.

say it with me:

In the USA, government agents are not allowed to kill people for protesting. they're not allowed to kill people for being a mouthy lesbian. they're not allowed to kill people for provoking them, insulting them, or making them mad.

They're not hard to find. It's happening; it's not as widespread as it could be if it's allowed to continue. Put this into google: "federal agents intimidating people for posting social media comments".

Ruby is essentially Smalltalk (see also Objective-C).

I don't know Python's innards well enough to understand why it's so especially difficult in this regard, but I gather around the edges that its object model may not be as well founded.

this is literally the status quo. have you looked at Asahi Linux?

Really? Claude Code is buggy but not very demanding in terms of rendering -- are you sure the perf issues were local?

> drugs

slightly off topic, but we need to be clear that certain harder drugs -- the ones most likely to kill you -- can absolutely change people

Vonnegut's butthole isn't a good brand

Anthropic is locking me in how exactly? Everything's a markdown document.

Opus 5.5 is the frontier today. But there are more ways for Anthropic to lose than to remain in that position. I'd take Anthropic stock if you gave it to me but I sure as fuck wouldn't buy into it.

The tool is not a moat when you can tell Opus to build you a better tool.
