This is a bad take on LLMs. In actuality, you get much better results if you are skilled in the underlying task.

Sometimes I’ll know exactly how to write the software for a task but the LLM will do it much much faster and I can tell right away if it’s doing what want.

Come to Boston. We’re cool with cyclists.

Why doesn’t NYC recall Adams? It’s an honest question.

These are not targeted cuts due to ideology as a lot of people assume. Instead they are simply trying to free up as much money as possible to give corporations and the wealthy a tax cut. Occam’s razor.

One down, how many to go?

Everyone should have a passport these days. Real ID not so much.

When bitcoin and gold are the only up (two assets that produce nothing), we are in trouble.

It’s pretty sad when the only hope is for them to screw things up so badly that the people revolt.
We should never have gotten to this place.

Do you have a citation for this? I read that she had him exit through a non-public door used by jury members. The ICE agent saw him leave the building and gave chase. I would love to be wrong.

Thanks for posting this.

While the idea of arresting judges gives me chills, the idea of judges breaking the law does the same thing. There are plenty of other hills to die on with this administration.

It’s always about the company you keep.

Thank you Trump!

You obviously have no idea how the student loan forgiveness program worked.

These people don’t want this book in the library because they remember when they were that age.
They remember a book that all the kids were passing around that described a sex scene and for some reason it scares the crap out of them.

Just remember that these billionaires gave Trump money and obedience. They knew exactly the bargain they were making.
April 24, 2025 at 10:07 PM
You could just have said I disagree and this is why but instead you post an insult. How very Trumpian of you.
April 24, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Instead of blaming billionaires for being obscenely rich, blame the system that lets them not pay taxes and have outsized influence in politics.

As a software engineer I can easily say that LLM technology has made me a much better and faster programmer. I’ve written apps in an unfamiliar language in a couple hours that would have taken me days to work out without the help of an LLM.

C’mon NYC, you can do better than this!

When talking about Republicans, just put “Because they don’t care” in front of everything they do or say and they start making sense.

You ought to also recommend getting a passport which definitely makes you a citizen and can be used where real ID is needed.
