Honestly it is the one that came to mind as I am apparently a victim of fraud.

More seriously though what good is a constitution if it can be violated without repercussions?

You and I do agree on one thing though but I would adjust that to being the last 40 years rather than just several.

Cool thought but until violating the said constitution actually has enforceable consequences it’s not more than a paper tiger.

Take for instance the 2nd amendment. It is constantly under siege by government officials, both elected and appointed, as well as an activist judicial. Thankfully the SCOTUS has been somewhat successful in parlaying these incursions but someday the perpetrators will succeed, and I think mainly because there are no consequences for trying.

Just an example and JMHO.

That doesn't seem to be a use case that I would use - now assuming someone is still speaking, you look at your watch (just bad form to me) you will very likely miss what is being talked about while reading what you previously missed. At least my one channel brain would.

yeah there is that too. if everything else I stated wasn’t wrong I could put up with that. Codex on the other hand is great. Concise, technical, effective and non chatty. And that my friend is a load bearing comment.

I have to agree with you there. I did some good work with Claude then Fable came out - impressed with that as well. Then they dropped access to it and upon returning was never the same - even the Opus models for some reason. Then one day I burned through my limit in about 10 minutes and had to get a project completed. I subscribed to Codex and it has been fantastic - finished my project and continued on to others. I just dropped my Claude max plan down to the pro and subscribed to the $200 plan on Codex.

yeah agreed they will definitely be doing that.

Alternatively I hope to see this giving opportunities to innovative individuals that can build something with just an idea and twenty bucks.

Wouldn’t it be like any other tool? When I started programming it was writing code in a text editor, masm to compile and a dso to debug. That progressed to higher level languages and libraries where gradually the amount of end product I could produce in a week would take a year (or 10) in assembly. What CC can do is similar. So to your question: My skillsets evolve and instead of using some developer tools directly I become an expert on utilizing LLMs.

Of course. If you don’t use something it atrophies not only in non use but in losing interest in keeping up with the state of the art in said tech.

What we gain though is for people don’t possess that knowledge in the first place, now have this superpower. I know several individuals who have vast experience in specific disciplines and they are now able to solve real problems where there were previously struggling and having to make existing solutions work.

In the context of software engineering it allows people that have great institutional knowledge bypass the software market and construct stuff on their own - or at least prototype something and turn it over to an SE if the situation dictates.

I’ve been using CC for several months now and have noticed an increasing quality of output - Fable 5 I think was 85% there. At 95% SE’s are going to be increasingly looking for work to do.

To the title though, I’ve noticed while my desire to actually write code is decreasing CC is forcing me to improve my high level thought processes in the context of overarching goals in a project through discussion with CC. The software often introduces things that had escaped me or just think more outside the box.

My concerns are that this technology will be restricted at some point and the people making the restrictions will have a lot of control - and we know how that works out. But I believe they are inevitable, first obvious example being Fable 5. Are guardrails needed - yeah sure. Common sense says that I don’t want someone able to concoct an easily transmittable Ebola virus that has a 90 day incubation period in their kitchen but I do want an entrepreneur to be able to build a competitor to MS Office, or a cure for Ebola, for example.

>>they’ve earned my trust

Boy I hope Broadcom didn’t hear that…

Going to give it a try! Would love to see an option for an engineering stamp for brace walls, hold downs, etc.

How could you think those two, massacring your own people and buying plane tickets home for people illegally here are on the same scale at all. We are not ideal here at all but we don’t do that and I think if it were tried there would be an uprising against whoever was calling that unimaginable shot.

I couldn't read the article but at least agree with the title. Taxes should be 1:1 linked with spending. The xx trillion dollar deficit is IMHO unfixable without substantial, painful changes.

>> rather than putting an employee to respond to things on Sunday.

Maybe just maybe they didn’t put him here, rather he just a normal guy who reads HN, who is passionate about his role, and is here on his own time.

You have to be careful with that on Best Buy as well.

They do show stock on their website. For other things such as price matching their chat service has worked well for me and seems to be backed by real people. I can't remember the last time I tried to call in.

What would make me question the timeline more is if we still had a B&M Circuit City in town!

>> although they usually get me buying something I didn't go there for

Me too but I enjoy browsing through the store so it’s (sometimes not so much) cheap entertainment.

Our Best Buy is great. Usually pretty good stock and good variety. People there seem to be pretty nice as well. Bought a laptop there a few weeks ago. The one I wanted was in stock, they had a good price and gave me a fair trade in for my old one. Wife loves the place too as she can try on all their phone cases before she buys. It’s great to have a local option so that is one of the reasons I also choose to support them.

I’ve been pretty happy with Reolink. No subscription required and uses local storage. Notifications are done through smtp which works pretty well. Mobile app is pretty solid as well.

Absolutely love Zulip. I think they are the #1 open source project out there for many reasons. Here are a few that come to mind:

1. Open source and the commitment to keep it there. 2. The continued technical excellence of the product. 3. Excellent and up-to-date documentation 4. Open to the public development effort that allows public participation (chat.zulip.org) 5. Availability of help from front line engineers and owners as well as the community. 6. Modern and organized UI with many options to tailor it to use case and environment. 7. Excellent choice of tech stack which has evolved to keep up with new technology. 8. An excellent place for aspiring developers to learn not only coding but other skills such as communication and relationship values.

Thankfully we have options - Kid Rock will be performing an alternative half-time show and it's available on X and Youtube @ 8PM.

>>Is that unreasonable

It’s not unreasonable to report the facts and let the reader decide. The carbon tax is a readily available fact where in your example is subjective.

Using an 8051 on a breadboard writing ASM in a text editor and debugged with a tektronix storage oscilloscope. It was super fun.

Won’t DJI’s current offerings still be available? I bought a Phantom 4 Pro 5 years ago that I use for mapping and it still does the job. I would expect that Enterprise drones would work the same way. Sure we’re not going to get the next new better faster model so in that scenario it does give time for a domestic company to engineer an offering.

The reasons are clearly stated and widely reported by multiple news sources: The Trump administration ordered an immediate pause on five major offshore wind projects, citing national security risks due to radar interference.

Not much on details besides a “classified study“ but sounds pretty transparent to me?

They were approved by a prior administration that prioritized green energy over national security.

There are several other comments above that allege other countries have come to the same conclusion regarding offshore wind farms having a negative affect on radar.

I wonder how many true citizens have actually been deported? Do you have any specific cases to cite? The sheer number of people that are being processed is due to prior administrations open border policy. They didn't enforce the law that has been approved by congress (since you mentioned congressional approval) and by doing so have created the situation which we now find ourselves. Want to change the law? Do it correctly.

The troops were there to protect Federal Law Enforcement and Federal property. I imagine that would happen in any case regardless of political affiliation. In any case I 100% support that. Federal Officers are there to enforce the law.

>>freedom from criminal prosecution for effectively any act. Were you referring to Biden's son? Seems within scope of the comment.

The emotional hate I see is mostly centered around the person and not his policies. I am hopeful yes that once that divisive aspect is gone we can at least have somewhat normal discourse about policies and centrist ideas.

>> Why is nobody screaming about this?

Probably because this is the least of our worries comparatively.

>>I don’t know how to connect constructively

Yeah we probably never will. The part of him that everyone hates is creating a division in the nation. On the flip side I disagree so much with what the Biden administration did I am willing to accept his faults and will bide my time until Vance and Rubio take office when hopefully the hate will subside and we can start to come together as a country.
