The dev environment runs in the cloud. Like devcontainers if you’re familiar with that, except the IDE is just the Claude app.

Having said that, I found the cloud dev environments slow to the point where I wasn’t sure if it had frozen, so I never looked back.

I doubt it (though I would love this as well). FTA:

> A third discovery was arguably more specific: a new system key that returns the total count of *built-in* displays on a device

Epstein represented the Rothschilds: https://jmail.world/thread/EFTA02470755?email=EFTA02470755-1

The Rothschilds have supported Israel for over 140 years; the most recent example is Lord Jacob Rothschild, who appears in the Epstein files.

Those are the facts. I don’t think it necessarily follows that the CIA didn’t realize what was going on or that the American elite were clueless. Those are left as an exercise to the reader.

Israel obviously influenced American politicians through many avenues, not the least of which is the Epstein blackmail ring.

One thing I’ve used in interviews is to write some code that looks like it was written by an overly enthusiastic engineer who just discovered some new concept (e.g. “trees are the ultimate data structures”) then have the candidate review the code. I wonder if this could work for education: orient the entire class around who can give the AI the best corrections.

There’s not an objective measure of whether something is racist or not because there are several different, politically charged definitions of racism that all apply to each other.

I think the movie was every bit as deep as the books. Remember how terrifying it was for Frodo to be seen by Sauron’s eye? No, they know exactly what they’re doing and they don’t care.

Nobody conflates Zionism with Jewry more than Israel does. Do you have a problem with them doing it?

I think graphql backed by mcp is the technically best solution. Graphql allows an agent to select which fields it wants in context. Graphql is easy to generate clis for / easy to generate libraries for (if we want llms to generate scripts that call tools).

This field is called Tree Shaping[1] and while it has been tried throughout history, I think there's still a lot of cool stuff that has never been tried.

But how would you compete when people inevitably started mandating superior editors such as emacs[1] or even notepad[2]?

No it isn't. Palantir is Databricks + a bunch of no-code / low-code tools for data visualization and general app development.

No, that’s the point, Israel wants their civilians to not be targeted even though many/ most of them have served in the IDF, but they targeted this man.

So anyone who has ever served in the IDF is fair game? Got it

Being anti-Israel is a bipartisan position in the US among the constituents but not among the representatives (yet)

TIL that Microsoft is the least Israel-friendly of the big three clouds:

> Among the cloud giants, Microsoft is considered the most vulnerable to anti-Israel protests and allegations of the use made by the Ministry of Defense on Azure, its cloud platforms, since it is the only company among the three major cloud companies that has not signed a special agreement with the Israeli government and the Ministry of Defense. The industry says that Haimovich, who is known as a prominent salesman with the government sector, was appointed country general manager, among other things, due to Microsoft's plans to retain and increase business with the government sector, despite not winning the Nimbus tender.

> In 2021, Israel awarded Amazon and Google the Nimbus cloud tender, encouraging government bodies and public organizations to migrate to these services, at the expense of Microsoft. In return, Amazon and Google pledged to establish service areas in data centers on Israeli soil, in order to avoid exposing security or government data to foreign regulation.

> So much of the academic structure is about what's convenient for evaluation, rather than what's best for learning

Academia is going to have to focus on the latter anyway because we have AI, which is exactly the same: it’s only useful when you can evaluate the output for accuracy independently. But how do you do this without throwing out objectivity entirely? Maybe we need to move to apprenticeships?

I doubt it'll ever happen because heat dissipation will be a big problem, but this is likely in response to the proliferation of data centers. I would rather have data centers in space than convert countryside to concrete and metal jungles.

There ought to be an understanding that the school has leeway to use a ruler on misbehaving children without the police being involved. That's what I meant when I said stop getting police involved in everything. I'm not talking about vigilante justice.

An example that requires police to be involved: Small Town A has a law stating that anyone dealing drugs must be caned for the first offense. Someone deals drugs in Small Town, so police catch them and cane them.

I do agree we shouldn't limit it to children! But I don't think the boss/employee relationship should involve violence though because firing someone is simple and effective. But if someone is doing something bad for their community that has no obvious other consequences? Then yeah, it absolutely should be an option.

These rules should be implemented locally at a town or city level. No need to enforce the same set of rules across all society.

And it's interesting you bring up that bullying is a second order affect. If one of the parents is abusive, that should be something that has physical consequences. Solve the problem at the source, stop wringing our hands and getting lawyers / police involved for everything. That's not scalable and as a result there are a bunch of unsolvable problems in our society today.

Complaining to the authorities needs to come with a cost, otherwise people who don’t believe in the research or are looking for a payday will join just to complain

Pain is a highly evolved way of telling humans to change their behavior. Why would we choose not to use such an excellent tool, within reasonable boundaries? Also, do you think the victims of bullies have a pleasant experience? Being merciful to the bullies enables them and is cruel to their victims.

Making it illegal will raise awareness about how addictive social media is, i.e. it will educate people

There’s a huge difference between something that is proven false and something that is unproven. Why are these bucketed together?

I don’t know anyone who believes nothing that hasn’t been statistically proven. You can’t operate in real life that way.

Interesting, I imagine the propaganda was also used for the German public, because they had no idea they were death camps.

Israel would doubtless keep its genocide a secret if it could, but there's just so much evidence created by smartphones. This is actually an example of how technology is making the world a massively better place--it's so much harder to genocide without creating tons of evidence.

Is this something from the post-war or did that really exist?

Have you seen Ibis[1]? It's a dataframe API that translates calls to it into various backends, including Polars and DuckDB. I've messed around with it a little for cases where data engineering transforms had to use pyspark but I wanted to do exploratory analysis in an environment that didn't have pyspark.

Are there a lot of manual steps in managing an xcode project? E.g. does it say "now go into xcode and change this setting" instead of changing the setting directly? Or are you using a tool like xcodegen?

I think it would be better to have one of each of the main AIs / coding tools running instead of all the same model and tool. That way you can keep tabs on latest developments while doing your work. Also if you use multiple providers / tools, you can take advantage of more free credits that way, because some providers have a few free credits each month.

Doesn't this mean that farmers will no longer be able to reuse their own seeds then, if a neighbor has GMO seeds?
