> And every time you decide to cut on services, you are just moving money elsewhere: more inequality -> more social tensions and criminality, you just end up paying way more to live in a safe place and pay for private and public security and prisons.
There's no reason to think that the amount of taxpayer-funded services in a political jurisdiction has inversely proportional relationship with amount of crime that that happens there (nor any particular relationship with what kinds of crime, how serious the specific crimes are, and so on). Same thing with social tensions - social tension are caused by a lot of things, many of which aren't particularly related to the raw amount of taxpayer-funded services that exist. Would a more redistributive welfare state have made the partition of India between (mostly) Hindus and (mostly) Muslims less likely, for instance?
I use various agentic dev tools all day long, mostly with Opus. The tools are vary capable now, but when planning mid-complexity features, I find the time estimates hilarious.
Phase 1: 4 days
Phase 2: 3 days
Phase 3: 2 days
4 hours later, all the work is done and tested.
The funny part to me was that if I had an AI true believer boss, I would report those time estimates directly, and have a lot of time to do other stuff.
This has all the tell signs of a financial lie. I doubt this money will ever materialize. But of course he's immediately receiving the results of the publicity stunt.
It provides the strongest possible encryption for photos. However it did not support video, as video presents significant technical challenges due to the volume of data.
Last weekend in the United States we saw a painful example of how important video is as evidence.
Sunday I started tackling the problem, and after some crunching the last few days, have now released version 4.0 of SnapSafe supporting video capture.
I created a simple but effective encryption container format for the video that is streamable and seekable with minimal overhead on mobile devices. It allows for playback, random-access, and scrubbing of videos, without having to decrypt anything to disk. You can read my spec on my SECV file format if that's interesting to you.

What people feel about things is almost an entirely a function of their information environment, rather than the facts of the events themselves. Almost nobody truly aware of the genocide of Palestinian children would be "okay" with it; the people defending it are more-or-less viewing these events in terms so different from that that those basic facts cannot reach their understanding at all.
An athlete who competes for a couple seasons would have the down payment for a house in each of those pay-outs. (And be able to, in all likelihood, borrow against it if they needed it earlier.)
Exactly. We never had a problem with spammy PRs before. Even at the height of Hacktoberfest, the vast majority were painfully obvious and confined to documentation. It was easy and obvious to reject those. But LLMs have really changed the game, and this policy was explicitly prompted by a number of big PRs that were obviously purely vibe-coded and we felt we really needed to get a defined policy out that we could point to and say "no, this is why we're rejecting this".
That looks great! Any plans on allowing exports to OpenTelemetry apps like Arize Phoenix? I am looking for ways to connect my Claude Code using Max plan (no API) to it and the best I found was https://arize.com/blog/claude-code-observability-and-tracing..., but it seems kinda overweight.
I would suggest that when there's a possible crime, as there would be in this case, even a clearly guilty murderer caught red-handed holding a knife and screaming "I DID IT" will be an "alleged" perpetrator.
Many of us play with friends and don't dictate every game in the rotation. My time with my friends is more important to me than operating system purity.
You could have contracted 5 small firms for £400k each (which, for this project seems frankly seems excessive) and even if a couple failed to deliver you'd have gotten 3 separate products to choose the best quality one from, £148k to legally chase up the firms who failed to deliver, and still had £2 million left over.
I agree a good solution isn't easy to come up with, but the status quo is certainly an outrageously awful one.
Tech is the most set apart area of innovation ever.
First you have tech's ability to scale. The ability to scale also has it creep new changes/behaviors into every aspect of our lives faster than any 'engine for change' could previous.
Tech also inherits, so you can treat it as legos using, what are we at, definitely tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of human years of work, of building blocks to build on top of. Imagine if you started every house with a hundred thousand human years of labor already completed instantly.
And tech's speed of iteration is insane. You can try something, measure it, change it, and redeploy in hours. Unprecedented experimentation on a mass scale leading to quicker evolution.
It's so disingenuous to have tech valuations as high as they are based on these differentiations but at the same time say 'tech is just like everything from the past and must not be treated differently, and it must be assumed outcomes from it are just like historical outcomes'. No it is a completely different beast, and the differences are becoming more pronounced as the above 10Xs over and over.
This has actually come up in our internal discussions while we were drafting this, and the truth is, yea, this applies to "normal" PRs and such as well. But we weren't having any sort of problem with someone who has no understanding of the code at all coming in and making extensive changes. That simply wasn't possible. But LLMs enable someone with no knowledge to submit an extensive, on-the-surface-sensible PR that then needs literally hours of review work and testing.
I definitely liked physics simulator you created,
and I don't understand why people think working with Claude is mostly prompting and it's definitely not it does require effect and now we just write the code as its out sourced to the Claude but you are definitely planning and thinking about the problem you are trying to solve
