UmGuys··on Beads – A memory upgrade for your coding agent
That's shocking to me. Although it does make sense from a UX perspective as indexing can take minutes depending on the setup.
UmGuys··on Beads – A memory upgrade for your coding agent
I'm not familiar with Claude's architecture, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't index your codebase for semantic search with the explore feature it has. How else would they find context? They already have a semantic search tool -- which is rag.
UmGuys··on Gemini CLI tips and tricks for agentic coding
One hack is to end the prompt with: following solid architecture principles.

EG: Step 1: Define problem in PROBLEM.md Step 2: Ask agent to gather scope from codebase and update PROBLEM.md Step 3: Ask agent to create a plan following design and architecture best practices (solid, etc) and update PROBLEM.md Step 4: Ask agent to implement PROBLEM.md

UmGuys··on I Want You to Understand Chicago
KIDNAP: To abduct or confine (a person) forcibly, by threat of force, or by deceit, without the authority of law.

Care to explain the distinction? They have authority of law?? haha It's terrorism. No crime, no warrant, no due process. Obviously it's not kidnapping by law, because no law applies to ICE.

The apartment building scene was a mass kidnapping of US citizens. They've shot US citizens for recording their actions with live bullets, pepper balls, and gas grenade launchers. They tear gassed kids on the playground, attacked a Halloween parade, the horrors are endless.

UmGuys··on How America got hooked on ultraprocessed foods
This is false, buy some pork belly and smoke it. I've done it.
UmGuys··on Europe Can No Longer Ignore That It's Under Russian Attack
This strategy is known as "disaster capitalism" and was explored by Naomi Klein in her book "The Shock Doctrine". Which details how UofChicago economists experimented on South America in addition to natural disasters, etc. The rich love to burn everything down so they can buy what's left for pennies. It's sick.
UmGuys··on Companies are lying about AI layoffs?
Everyone who works in tech knows this is true and has been happening for longer than described in the article. Since 2020, it feels like I've trained half of Bangalore on how to do our jobs.
UmGuys··on Pocket Casts, you altered the deal, so I will alter your app
The company sold an app and refuses to honor what users paid for. If this is allowed, it will become a strategy because it's profitable. Trick people to purchase, then add ads to the 'ad-free' app. There's no logic other than, "we can steal and no one will stop us." They should be forced to honor purchases or publish a new app.
UmGuys··on Pocket Casts, you altered the deal, so I will alter your app
I purchased this app way back in 2014 when I did Android dev FT. I had no idea about the history until recently when I began seeing ads. Comapnies should be prohibited by Google Play Store or someone else from rug pulls like this, otherwise it will become a normal business strategy. What's to stop someone from building an app fast by selling lifetime ad free, then when they build a user base, selling to a large company who does this? Nothing. That's what.

They should be forced to publish a new APK with a different name to change monetization strategies or honor what people paid for. This is fraud and theft.

UmGuys··on After getting Jimmy Kimmel suspended, FCC chair threatens ABC's The View
How so? I thought I watched the monologue and didn't hear anything like that. Not even an implication.
UmGuys··on After getting Jimmy Kimmel suspended, FCC chair threatens ABC's The View
It should not surprise you. They hold no position. In fact the positions they do hold are mostly lies (as we can see small gov, debt reduction, law and order). The only policies that are real are the evil ones: deploying military against civilians, transforming ICE into brutal terrorists, bankrupting the country through tax cuts, etc ... The GOP strategy has been to break the government, claim it doesn't work so they can defund it, foment fear and hatred, and flat out reject Democracy. Why? Because their policies are abhorrent and hateful and only help by a few rich "Christian" natrionalists.
UmGuys··on After getting Jimmy Kimmel suspended, FCC chair threatens ABC's The View
This never occurred and you're completely full of it. No democratic government official ever pressured anyone to be cancelled.
UmGuys··on After getting Jimmy Kimmel suspended, FCC chair threatens ABC's The View
What do the people claiming to be offended find offensive about it? I thought the issue was the orange one didn't like him and wanted him cancelled.
UmGuys··on After getting Jimmy Kimmel suspended, FCC chair threatens ABC's The View
I disagree with your second point. I believe Utah, dislike Kimmel, and believe he said nothing wrong. In fact he pretty much stated facts with a sprinkle of his brand of comedy.

You're drifting into lalaland. It's very clear it was cancelled because of government action. Why are you making up weird stories. Everything has been reported.

For whatever reason you're trying to justifying government censorship. This article isn't about Kimmel it's about another show MAGA hates apparently. And the cult leader guy blew a hole threw your convoluted thesis yesterday when he openly admitted he disagrees with the first amendment.

UmGuys··on A Lawless Nation – Friends don't let friends visit America
It sounds like you're trying really hard to either: provide cover for racists, or more charitably cast good intentions on them. It's really simple: racism is hate and we shouldn't have hateful government. Also, this movement isn't organic the GOP have to manipulate people through fear or hate and fight tooth and nail to change rules just to win. America is dead at this point. It's unlikely to ever recover.
UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
You have an extreme point of view. You literally lead with it should be okay to scream fire in a theatre. That's absurd. There was a fire, more than a million folks died, many rules were altered including operation warp speed. There's no real reason to even reply to this insanity. Good job troll.
UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
You're spouting nonsense to conflate the contexts. Here we had the FCC guy directly threaten people, they immediately cancelled the show and I assume hundreds of people's jobs. Why? Because the authoritarian was displeased with how he was characterized. This is precisely why we formed America and the 1st Amendment.
UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
It's the first time the government in the US has done this. 100%.

I see. You're trying to pretend that intentionally subverting public health measures should be free speech and that the Biden administration did something like what the authoritarians are doing now. I disagree, though I'm not super familiar with the government intervention or lack of during covid. I have no desire to discuss it as it has no relevance to this context.

You're lying by creating a false equivalence and don't deserve replies.

UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
I don't get what your point is. We agree covid is bad and difficult for people to deal with.
UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
I googled Alex as I didn't know who that was. The government has an interest in public health. 1.2 million Americans (likely many more) died as a result of covid. There were refrigerator trucks filled with bodies in places. It was hell. People who spread misinformation literally kill people and themselves. It seems like the government back then actually worked with companies to craft guidance rather than threatening their licenses, suing, etc. There's no comparison at all to the current time. America was founded to rid ourselves of royalty and the first amendment is proof of that. Now America is gone.
UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
I have no idea what you're referencing honestly. Private companies can make whatever business decisions they want.

You second link is 404 and I have no idea what you're talking about. The subject is what used to be the United States. A concept that no longer exists because we're too shitty.

UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
I'm not very aware of this subject, but from my understanding "the laptop" is the files that were extracted from a person's laptop by a man who was supposed to repair it. Then the files were released in public and included nude images. I would expect any company to pull those documents down to limit their own liability and for common decency. Again, I'm not very informed on the subject.

So there was that example.

Now the FCC threatened ABC/Disney to pull a show because the orange guy dislikes him. I isolation, just this one incident is the death of the concept of America. If we consider the context :thisisfine:

UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
There's no comparison here. The left's "cancel culture" doesn't exist and is literally free speech in action. This is the destruction of free speech. I think you have to participate in social media to understand what the left's cancel culture is because it's just a bunch of individuals expressing their opinions. Hence many are out of the loop. I wouldn't refer to authoritarian regimes as "cancel culture".
UmGuys··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
It's called entertainment. He's a comedian. You're opposed to free speech and favor government censorship. News and journalists are supposed to do facts, not literal jesters.
UmGuys··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
It's hard to understand what you mean. Logically, if you don't want to support Israel, you should vote Dem or abstain as Dems support them slightly less.
UmGuys··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
I don't really understand this perspective. Obviously the consensus position across both parties has been to support Israel more. This is a bit murky with the (for lack of a better term) Nazi elements of maga, but GOP still claims to want to arm them more.
UmGuys··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
It's assumed all cops are dirty. Good cops are few and far between as bad cops have incentive to get rid of them (so they don't snitch or do other 'good' things like police crime).
UmGuys··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
I qualified it. Generally speaking, they both support it. They even called the campus protests for peace antisemetism during Biden's term. Of course the GOP are much worse, but there's definitely reason to dislike both in this regard.
UmGuys··on DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing
This is a very odd take and shows your media bubble. The real stats are 7-10x in favor of right wing violence. They have the title for most destructive with OKC bombing, frequency, body count, etc. All stats are at least an order of magnitude greater for right wing violence. It's even difficult to find examples of left violence. The famous examples provided are "BLM Riots" which were mostly peaceful protests against violence. It's all spin.
UmGuys··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
The GOP actually platformed orange man after he did the coup. That's infinitely worse than being old and hiding it.
