"I provide official government service information, not news recaps or political commentary.

What official records describe On January 6, 2021, Congress met in a joint session at the U.S. Capitol to certify the Electoral College vote of the 2020 presidential election. The session began about 1:00 p.m. The House and Senate later adjourned to separate chambers to consider an objection. Around 2:20 p.m., members, including Vice President Mike Pence, were evacuated. The joint session was suspended until shortly after 8:00 p.m., then resumed after the building was secured.

The U.S. Capitol and its exterior plaza were closed to the public that day except for authorized people with identification. Department of Justice charging documents describe people entering the building without authorization, assaults on officers, and related investigations. The Government Accountability Office later reported assaults on about 140 officers, about $1.5 million in damages, and at least seven deaths associated with the day’s events. "

It's pretty easy to solve. You just keep pushing new versions of Opus 4.8....
couchdb_ouchdb··on The desperation of NYTimes
Respectfully disagree that it's toxic or predatory. Very easy to cancel via chat as well. New York times is an incredible jewel of a company. I am fine with some marketing tactics that aren't incredibly heavy handed. They are far far far from unethical.

Good luck finding an employer that lets you do this moving forward. The new reality is that no one can give the estimates they previously gave for tasks. \

"Amazingly, I’m faster, more accurate, more creative, more productive, and more efficient than AI, when you price everything in, and not just code tokens per hour."

For 99.99% of developers this just won't be true.

couchdb_ouchdb··on AI Usage Policy
You should be able to attach the plan file that you and Claude develop in Plan mode before even starting to code. This should be the source of truth.
couchdb_ouchdb··on Where's the AI design Renaissance?
"After 2.5 years of insane hype, there’s no evidence that current AI is making the design process faster"

This is antidotally untrue. I work for a small startup. We don't have the money / aren't willing to pay for a full-time designer. So, let's just say, our UI design has always been pretty terrible. With AI, using claude, to generate design and HTML / CSS based on requirements, the design that has been generated has been heads and tails better than anything we ever came up with alone.

Thanks. I needed someone to say that to me. Appreciate it.
couchdb_ouchdb··on All managers make mistakes; good managers acknowledge and repair
I've tried do this a couple of times in the last year, but it always seems to backfire, specifically with Gen Z. After I apologize, they seem to think of it as an opening to continue to shit on me and bring up more of my shortcomings -- which is just bizarre to me. Because of this, it's made me really second guess acknowledging when I think I've made a mistake.

Best to you OP.

I always think of the Five Remembrances:

I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old. I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape having ill health. I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death. All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

couchdb_ouchdb··on California's most neglected group of students: the gifted ones
I think that's correct. She was first flagged with standardized tests.
couchdb_ouchdb··on California's most neglected group of students: the gifted ones
100% agree with you. We went with a religious option because of cost, and, despite the religious aspect, are finding it much better.

We couldn't afford the private schools that are ~$50K, but, like you say, higher cost doesn't necessarily mean better education.

couchdb_ouchdb··on California's most neglected group of students: the gifted ones
In Seattle, there's actually a test you can take to get you into the "HCC" program which is the gifted program in Seattle Public Schools. Seattle, however, has been trying (successfully) for years to dismantle it. So even if you pass the test, there's not very many places that you can go to get these services.
couchdb_ouchdb··on California's most neglected group of students: the gifted ones
We just ejected from Seattle Public Schools for this reason. My daughter, as a gifted student, was basically ignored by her teachers for the last 3 years because she was smart, and therefore they didn't have to worry about her. But, by ignoring her, she atrophied. Her standardized testing scores dropped every year. She no longer cared about learning. It truly is a regression to the mean.
