?? Do you think the rest of us are retarded? Jeff Bezos and Elon and Zuckerberg et al. love him, donated to him, etc. He gives tax cuts to the rich. The Republicans have, for as long as any of us have been alive, been more explicitly the party of the rich than the Democrats.

The fact they are consistently able to get a bunch of dumbass poor rural rubes to vote for them out of various forms of ignorance and bigotry doesn't change that.

I want to call your post "low-effort propaganda", but it falls short even of that. Like you're running around trying to tell people that clouds are made of marshmallows or something.

I am surprised there aren't better worker protections in the UK to prevent getting laid off so quickly.

I don't disagree that it's probably a violation of GitHub TOS, but I don't think it's like substantively negative behavior, if that makes sense.

How is it not clear that LLMs are being increasingly commoditized and that the foundation model producers are in a bad race to the bottom with each other AND cheap open-weight competition?

Not even just from Chinese models, but from companies/labs like Mercury

When I first heard about the case, I assumed prisoner was suing because he was being forced to accept toast with vegemite already on it or something, but turns out it was the opposite lol

yeah, fresh air, appreciating parenting, how awful and dystopian

much worse than having one's identity entirely subsumed by typing code and reading software documentation

> it also will solve everything that makes life worthwhile.

It's going to solve your kids? Or eating food? Or enjoying fresh air?

what is a "project manager" in this context?

I think it's safe to say most of us who use `uv` use it as a package manager.

I think part of ty's pitch is also that it's very simple to set up. I think only Pyright compares in this regard. I tried Pyrefly once and recall it being a bit more involved to start using.
