What is this "this" you're referring to? Was this on the ballot? Did Trump announce that he would do this?
It seems very easy to just blame this on the voter like this.

I just tried chatjimmy.ai for a bit and while it is absolutely blazingly fast, it's also not a very strong model. I suppose that with time, stronger models will be able to run on such hardware, too.

I've noticed the same thing. I would have three, sometimes four sessions run at the same time. It would be great, but mentally exhausting. To help this, I've set a self-imposed limit of two active chat sessions at a time.
Another thing I found is that it is too easy to keep going. I would work for too long and get even more exhausted. It feels rude to just stop a conversation. LLMs don't really care about social norms like that, but it still felt awkward to me and I would worry about losing the context I had.
To help with that, I wrote my own little plugin that reminds me to start winding down at the end of the work day and starts prompting me (pardon my phrasing) to take the off-ramp; to relay any thoughts and todos I still have in mind and put them down to pick up the next day.
This is in no way production ready, but it might be an inspiration: https://github.com/pindab0ter/wind-down

I think time and time again that incentives are most important in determining how a market and by extension a society behaves. These prediction markets incentivize the absolute worst in humanity.
These markets allow you to bet on when the invasion of a foreign country or the demise of a person happens. There comes a point where one bets against someone to die and you will see themselves incentivized to make that happen.

Where do you keep the skills it generates from docs? Does this not become a mess?

This post resonates with me. I recognize everything you said except for the metrics part, since my employer luckily doesn't do that.
It's addictive. You're fast, efficient, you feel like you're in control. All while you're slowly losing grip.
I love how nuanced your takes are. The biggest challenge of this new programming paradigm is not to see how you can use it to its fullest extent. It is to find out what a sustainable pace is, both sort and long term.
It is hard to understate how difficult that is.

I've tried writing a few blog posts just to mostly learn about writing. Any feedback is welcome. Most posts are written to an imagined audience of people familiar with the topic.
I've also written a very basic terminal, just for laughs. It's nothing special, but I had fun making it.

It's called title case and for as far as I'm aware this is a uniquely American thing.

21 mil BTC is set. But how many new BTC alternatives have been launched since?

Bitcoins in practice are not truly limited. The amount of gold on earth is not likely to change much, despite the efforts of alchemists in the past. However, new bitcoins (with new limited supplies) are introduced all the time.

What exactly is so bad about Finder? I've never had any issues with it.

I am not at all familiar with the US system. How come there is a $3500 donation limit to politicians, but the tech billionaires have donated hundreds of millions to the inauguration fund?

I would like to know, what are some things that you could use this for?
This seems like a very powerful dataset.
What I think the author (and I) are wondering about, is whether instructions like these might influence not _only_ the final output, but also the way it got there.
