genuine question: What is the interpretation of the law such that ICE operations are wholly unlawful, and the military should broadly disobey an order to support/protect ICE operations?

While there's certainly many instances where ICE breaks the law, what would be the rationale for the military wholly refusing to support ICE performing their stated duty of enforcing immigration law? (besides more specific orders like "disperse these legal protesters" which could be disobeyed for more narrow reasons, because peaceful protesting is legal)

I might missing some context. Just to check my understanding: HMC and Bun aren't a good match anymore because Bun devs use LLM/AI tooling more than HMC? Basically to really level up a system is incompatible these tools? (IYHO)

Thank you! I appreciated how you wrote up this clarifying.

Does the author provide the actual PoC code anywhere? I want to do some testing for mitigations. I see the example code but it seems incomplete.

Realistically what are the risks?

It depends. Some antibiotics pass the BBB easier than others. Some are used especially when passage through the BBB is desired.

Aren’t viruses much harder to detect than bacteria? Viruses are generally smaller and are completely inert without a host cell. Bacteria, besides be larger, also have their own metabolic processes and distinct structures you can do things like grow them in a laboratory culture until the colony is much obvious.

Your comment makes it sound like bacteria are harder to detect but if we’re already identifying viruses, locating bacteria seems easier.

(Though some viruses are bigger than the smallest bacteria, like Mycoplasma at 200nm, viruses are generally smaller)

What makes a hypothetical brain microbiome so hard to find? I would think that once you’re doing microscopy on brain slices that a biome would show you quite fast. But if you’re still optimistic after a negative search I assume there must be many reasons why a brain microbiome could exist but still be hard to detect.

When something seems obvious to me but scientists in the field disagree, I usually take this a sign I need to improve my own understanding.

> He foresees great platforms all around the ocean, harvesting energy from magma holes and using it to produce low-carbon synthetic fuels that could be shipped to shore.

This sounds like an energy storage solution as well? Where would the low carbon mass come for such a fuel production scheme? Haven’t heard this idea for energy storage/transport before.

I feel quite strongly that LLMs are not a fad. Something like LLMs will be useful tools to people decades from now. Especially given that a whole generation of students is now using/relying on them for course work.

Even if we want to call them sophisticated autocomplete, why would I ever switch back to a dumb autocomplete?

I think by most definitions LLMs can definitely create new things.

As much as I can create new things by cobbling together open source projects and answers on stack overflow at least.

I don't think the author is saying the content LLMs produce is "democratic".

They're just saying that they're democratic in the sense that anyone can run them and they have a strong open-source community behind them.

> I build "brushes" for refactoring my code every day.

Anyone know what the author means by brushes?

Also any recommendations for non-Copilot IDE LLM integrations? I've tried a couple but they felt far behind Copilot in terms of quality and smooth IDE integration.
