@ExistentialEnso @Dankuser2024 I don't think mamdani is governing like a technocrat, he still has some weird ideas but he doesn't really manage to get them pushed through. I think he's a decent mayor and a good example for why the power of individual politicians should be limited even if they're "good"

@buckeyevn @Aaronontheweb Fail loudly is the first line of my agents md
English
We see this constantly with agents too. Silent retries, graceful fallbacks, everything looks clean in the demo. Then one bad call compounds through 10 steps and you're debugging ghosts at 2am. Fail loud beats fail silent every time but the models have been trained to optimize for 'doesn't crash.'
English
One of the most insidious tics LLMs have when coding is this obsession with adding "fallback" behaviors everywhere
These are extremely toxic because they hide real bugs and most importantly, introduce lots of potential privilege escalation vulnerabilities everywhere
English
@thechosenberg This is the easiest thing in the world to reply to. Agree it sucks and ask one followup question. probably actually more effort to copy and paste it into an agent. insane

@burby_geek @nazzobetweeting You’ve never heard of the flatiron building?
English
@nazzobetweeting i'm from queens and have never heard of madison sq either. bet you don't know of the nice parks in fresh meadows or the really nice bike path off the belt parkway
English
i was talking to a guy from the bronx for a few months and he had never heard of madison sq park, the flatiron building, the entire neighborhood of gramercy, he was like i know nothing about manhattan haha
Ayesha@gothichijabi
native new yorkers simply aren’t a monolith. i was talking to my born and raised in harlem last year and she didn’t know there was a J or a Z train

the crime administration strikes again

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

@siwisussy @MorphingReality @Smileyyeg @bruhwtfbruhlolz The MTA never stops running and the Manhattan express trunks are multiple orders faster than driving. You haven’t experienced good public transport
English
@MorphingReality @Smileyyeg @bruhwtfbruhlolz having to spend a little time in traffic is nothing compared to a late train or having to wait for your bus in the dark, frigid morning, or the frenzied hurry of going from metro to the train before it leaves, or the crowds... The crowds...
English
As a person who has never driven, does not have a license, and only uses public transportation:
No.
No it is not.
Never, not once, not even a little.
I mean, really truly, not at all.

Good public transport is far more convenient than driving
English
@Smileyyeg @bruhwtfbruhlolz There is a train station underneath my apartment and it will take me everywhere I need to go in under 30 minutes and it runs all night. What could possibly be more convenient?
English
@bruhwtfbruhlolz I am saying in terms of time. Is it really so emotionally exhausting though? Why do you do it?
English
@t_NYC @NKCoverGrrl So what does that have to do with OMNY then?
English
@NKCoverGrrl Yes and there was never a problem with that right. The machines always worked and there is always someone at the toll booth right
English
I find it pretty funny that NY passed a law that requires businesses accept cash at the same time they phase out Metrocard and make it almost impossible to pay for the bus or subway with cash, all so OMNY payment system can track you (and our children)
SIAdvance@siadvance
NY stores must accept cash as of Saturday silive.com/business/2026/…

@implring @DeepDishEnjoyer the old man is hallucinating again
OSINTdefender@sentdefender
According to the Iranian state-backed Fars News Agency, citing an official with knowledge on the matter, Iranian decision-makers have no indirect or direct communication links with the Trump administration. This comes after U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced a 5 day pause on strikes against Iranian energy and power infrastructure.

woke up to my position up a couple hundred k and like 90 seconds later down a million and a half lol
after panicking a bit and closing too early, i can see that this is not a ceasefire and just a promise to not bomb the electrical grid
English
@fuckpoasting THE west village. THE west village. your kneecaps were busted for that.
English
bar hopping in west village, in my first few days here — wearing a polo, talking march madness, drinking a guinness. couple of hours in i slipped up and asked
“do you know what vibecoding is?”
everyone went silent and stared at me
they took me out back and busted my kneecaps

@theShaneLevine This is Brooklyn (or worse) if there’s a river between you an NYC it is not NYC
English
@KentonVarda It also gets outrageously dumb after about 400k
English
Claude has a 1M context window now, but realistically costs skyrocket around the 200k mark since input token costs are O(n^2) (due to resubmitting the chat history on every turn/step -- even cache hits can get pricey).
English
@FedericoCentro @escargotpro_ The point is that you don’t have to “find” one
English
@escargotpro_ New yorkers constantly exposing that they are not good at finding late night spots in other cities and concluding that the city in fact must have no spots
points to the inability to percieve outside of themselves, like goldfish in a bowl going “the ocean sure is small!”
English
English
@Graverobbah @MattZeitlin Even parts of Brooklyn feel suburban though this might invoke some wrath from Brooklynites
English
that's fine, we have the suburbs in new york city
Peter Moskos@PeterMoskos
This is a dirty secret we city slickers prefer not to think about. The best ethnic restaurants are often out in strip malls in the burbs. That's fine, I want good food for all. But we no longer have a monopoly on such wonders.
English
@captgouda24 They need to ban shen yun (and ads that have been there for years). I want new stuff. I can only take so much Shen Yun, Michael the Bull, etc.
English
Shen Yun endorsed by people with clearly fake names
English
@leftisbest__ @saint_morg why would I call the cops lol
English
@SolveBuild @saint_morg why didn’t you literally call the cops fuck this guy
English
@FrappuccinoSlim @escargotpro_ Meanwhile Michael Waltz (the recipient of this question) and Donald Trump actually did it
English
@escargotpro_ Kamala couldn't answer this question and that's why she lost.
