I agree 100%. It's exhausting fighting against antisemitic bias, and it feels like it's everywhere these days. My problem with Ed Martin is that what he is doing is clearly wrong. Hannah Arendt wrote a book about people like him.

He doesn't have a leg to stand on and he knows it. Otherwise he would empanel a grand jury and wait for indictments. He is a partisan sadist and he loves to use the legal system to abuse people.

What do you consider a leftist? Why do you think they don't have jobs?

Do you like using a fast web browser?

I rolled my own, but it's exactly this.

In my case, the code is public facing.

It depends. For a class or a function, yes, I copy and paste.

When I want a review of a larger project I am working on (2500 classes), I concatenate the chunks of the codebase into a .txt file and upload it to Gemini.

Then we go over it.

I've even uploaded the entire codebase and asked it to write documentation and it did an excellent job providing a framework for me.

I told everyone in my family! Even my parents.

I'm paying $30/month for Gemini. It's worth every damn penny and then some and then some and then some. It's absolutely amazing at code reviews. Much more thorough than a human code reviewer, including me. It humbles me sometimes, which is good. Unless you can't use Google products, I'd seriously give it a try.

Now, I do still use ChatGPT sometimes. It recently helped me find a very simple solution to a pretty obscure compiler error that I'd never encountered in my several decades long career as a developer. Gemini didn't even get close.

Most of the other services seem focused on using the AWS pay-as-you-go pricing model. It's okay to use that pricing model but it's not easy for me to pitch it at work when I can't say exactly what the monthly cost is going to be.

I still love being a developer, but, knowing what I know now, I feel like I'd like it a lot less without Gemini. I'm much more productive and less stressed too. And I want to add, about the stress: being a developer is stressful sometimes. It can be a cold, quiet stress too, not necessarily a loud, hot stress. AI helps solve so many little problems very quickly, what to add/remove from a make file, why my code isn't linking. Or tricky stuff like using intrinsics. Holy fuck! It's really amazeballs.

It's so great!

I keep reminding him that it can hallucinate...

It worked much better. The silverware were perfect. Usually there are a few that need to be hand-washed.

Trying this tonight.

Even if you're correct, is that the world you want? (And to be clear, I'm not saying it's the world you want.)

DNA isn't destiny.

This is seriously one of the best things I've ever read here. Extremely well said.

My Dad is elderly and he enjoys writing. Uses Google Gemini a few times a week. I always warn him that it can hallucinate and he seems to get it.

It's changed his entire view of computing.

Can you provide clarification?

I don't know, but I don't think I agree with you. In fact, I've never heard either party ever say that the stock market going down is a good thing.

Besides all that, Trump is president right now and the Republicans control the government. While being in control right now, Republicans are presiding over the loss of trillions of dollars of wealth, despite claiming the be the party of fiscal responsibility. I think that's turned out to be something of a lie. Trump says he is a financial wizard, and that doesn't seem to help. Trump says he will build America into a golden age and lower prices on day 1.

Nothing like this is happening. It just doesn't add up.

First of all, a lot of people of the left have money in the stock market. A lot of people on the left talk about the stock market. You live in Seattle so you must know quite a few people on the left who have a lot of stock options.

Anyway, Trump promised a lot of things. He promised to use his business acumen to help the country, but now the stock market is tanking. It's weird because he's been bankrupt six or seven times by now, but he still says he is going to lead America into a golden age of prosperity.

The tariffs don't seem to be helping either. The ways things are right now, it seems likely that Trump is the epitome of Dunning-Kruger, or a criminal, or a demagogue.

Has he even done anything about prices at all? It would legit seriously help a lot of Americans if he would. I don't know. He talked about it a lot, but maybe it's not going to happen.

I never heard of Poe's Law until now.

I have watched YouTubers successfully make psychological inroads with people who support the current administration by saying things like "Trump either meant what he said or he's a demagogue. We'll see how it turns out."

Or by acknowledging their belief that Trump is a successful business man, but by including the truth right after it. I'll say "Yeah he's definitely a very successful businessman, which is why it's so surprising that he managed to wipe 5 trillion dollars worth of value from the stock market, which has hurt a ton of people."

This is exactly how propaganda works. A lie and then truth, or truth and then a lie. It's amazingly effective.

Five trillion dollars off the stock market and prices are still going up!

If he meant his campaign promises, then he's very clearly incompetent. If he didn't mean them then he's a demagogue.

Either way, he's simply doing what he IS competent at doing: destroying other people's capital and skipping out on the bill.

Sorry, I just looked and it's Trump who had six or seven bankruptcies.

It seems like a lot of people are saying that Trump is a very chaotic and incompetent person who doesn't know how to manage money. Trump's leadership has already caused the stock market to lose five trillion dollars in value since the start of his term.

Biden doesn't have any bankruptcies or personal scandals. Biden didn't pay off an adult film start before the 2016 election. That was Trump too. And Biden wasn't convicted of 34 felonies either. That was also Trump.

It's weird because Trump promised to bring down prices on day 1, but I it sure doesn't look like he knows what he's doing. Or maybe Trump is a liar and a demagogue. Please take the 'demagogue' bit with a grain of salt, I hate to even seem inflammatory.

You should read The Authoritarians. I can give you link if you want.

But in a nutshell, a lot of people who have authoritarian tendencies believe that law and justice flow out of the leader. The leader is, therefore, literally above the law (since it emanates from him).

Biden had six or seven bankruptcies when he was a senator and people didn't say he had no clothes on. I think we can give the current president a little grace.

EDITED:

Trump had six or seven bankruptcies, not Biden.

It's weird how Trump's leadership isn't really working out the way he promised us. First of all, the stock market is down by trillions. Second, these tariffs. It's almost as if economic markets don't like sudden changes and uncertainty.

But you're right. After all, Trump turned his casinos around, and he'll turn this situation around eventually too.

I find it pretty amazing that so many people are calling Karoline Leavitt a liar. She is the press secretary for the president of the United States.

However, it's possible that mistakes have been made inadvertently. The stock market is down 5 trillion dollars, and the president must be very busy using his business prowess to deal with the situation (just like he did when he turned his casinos around).

I have it on very good authority (Fox News if you want to know) that Trump just says these things.

With the stock market down 5 or so trillion dollars, I am sure the president is very busy using his renowned financial acumen to get things under control. He doesn't have time for war.

Gosh, can't anyone take a joke these days?

The current administration promised to lower prices immediately. I guess I'm not understanding why it hasn't happened yet.

He wouldn't have promised something that he knew he could never deliver, because that would make him a demagogue.

I just looked and quite a few of the world's top economists endorsed Harris/Walz for president.

Will wonders never cease!

Oh of course! Thank you for pointing that out :)
