Already suggested CourtListener API for judge bios, opinions, career history & financial disclosures. Other completely free APIs to enrich it even more: • FollowTheMoney API → campaign finance, donors & money flows for Florida judges • OpenFEC API → federal election/campaign data • US Census Bureau Data API → county demographics & population context (normalizes pretrial stats across counties) This combo would make the judge transparency nuclear with zero cost. Killer project man!

This is 🔥 You could instantly enrich your top 50 “bad” judges by cross-referencing them with Free Law Project’s CourtListener database + public API. It has bios, opinions, campaign finance, education, and career history for thousands of FL judges (person-centric, no scraping needed). courtlistener.com/person/ courtlistener.com/help/api/rest/… RECAP adds any federal context too. Your project + their open data = transparency rocket fuel.@JohnnyFSE

Good afternoon everyone, The response to CourtWatch.us has been overwhelming — thank you!! To be transparent: it's just me building this. I work a full-time job and launched yesterday purely to see if anyone cared. Clearly you do. Important context: this data is solely based on pretrial release cases. Judges handle hundreds of cases a year — what you're seeing is a small fraction of their total caseload. This does not mean there is 100% corruption. But when you look at the data, it may signify that change is needed to keep our communities safe. I'm working on adding more info pertaining to details about defendants etc but it will take some time and the website will evolve over time. I'll be adding data weekly and sending newsletter updates every Tuesday that you can be a part of. I won't be able to respond to every comment — there are simply too many — but I read as many as I can. This is public information that should be easy to find. I'm just making it easier to find. There will be hurdles. Please bear with me. I'm not going anywhere. Sign up for weekly updates: courtwatch.us

You mentioned integration. X is poised to become the everything app. email, messaging, investing trading, video/ entertainment and shopping. X money. When all those services are platform native than how much easier will integration be... I've been trying to code a Gmail triage agent in cowork that tiers my emails, auto deletes spam and downloads vendor invoices to a specific desktop folder/sub folder system. it still doesn't really work after iterating repeatedly and burns tokens like crazy using clunky mcps etc.

Exactly. AI coding will be solved completely by every AI model out there. What will matter, Is data, truth, Real time information AND integration. The integration part Is the most important one. Because xAi Is the only one of these companies who Is literally owned by a guy who's cars drive themselves, rockets land themselves and robots that will self replicate themselves. Anything else Is just noise honestly.

actually brutal what happened to xai

@cremieuxrecueil How does that work for seniors on fixed incomes...?Grandma killer in the chat.

I can hate this! The property tax is one of the best taxes on the books and it's pro-family to boot. Property taxes are capitalized into the cost of homes, making it easier to purchase them for young people looking to start families. Plus, they're efficient. Triple them!

Elon has the brand, the energy flywheel with tesla's energy business, the unique hardware and data flywheel to train on. Massive compute with colossus. Maximum truth seeking behavior. Consumer models just hit a massive safety wall giving xai a huge gift. Customers are now in two tiers gov/enterprise and regular consumers. As you said coding is largely solved. Then its just unit economics, user experience and speed. Thats what Elon does best. XAI will own the consumer space soon enough. energy and compute constrained labs will focus on gov/enterprise solutions. You already see it with opus getting nerfed.

@HackingDave It doesn't take a power user to see the massive decline in performance.

I understand there’s a ton of Claude fans out there. I was there too 4-5 weeks ago. Then it got way way way worse and without explanation. What’s worse is that I would consider myself a heavy power user. What about the folks that aren’t and have no idea it was dumbed down over 60% or more since its initial release and are using this day to day. Codex is outperforming Claude in every way right now. Additionally OpenAI is much more transparent, cheaper, and produces much better code in every way to Claude at the moment. Claude has massive outages, lack of transparency to users, some really bad operational and security practices. They’ve lost me. I’m done. What happened ?

@Yuchenj_UW The degradation is in your face obvious. It's a completely different model now.

Seeing rumors that Claude Opus 4.6 got nerfed. Usually this boils down to 3 cases: - Unintentional. For example, a regression caused by changes in the inference stack or Claude Code. This is what evals are for before rolling out. - Intentional “optimizations” (quantization, reduced reasoning). If so, say it. If users pay for a model, they should get that model. - User psychology. The more you use a model, the dumber it feels.

@DragonStacker @petergyang I'm a non technical layman and I noticed it clearly before any of the talk on X about it. When I signed up for my max plan I was blown away, 45 days later its like a completely different model.

@petergyang Because those of us doing professional development noticed that we could build entire projects end to end with it in February, and today it leaves plans half finished, creates a ton of bugs it can't solve by itself, has very lazy investigation for any task.

My entire feed and the Claude subreddit is full of ppl saying opus got nerfed. Why would Anthropic nerf its own models?

@TiffanyFong If you wash your towel after every use you likely live a sickly and scared life, clearly haunted by your own shadow.

how many times do you reuse a towel after showering before washing it?

11) No one drew this on a whiteboard. The geography drew itself. When AI became the race, energy became the constraint, and every chokepoint on the map lit up like a circuit board. The system doesn't need a strategist. It needs an actor willing to pick up what the board is offering. The next administration inherits the same map, the same energy math, the same AI scaling laws and plays the same squares. That's how you know it's not a strategy. It's a chain.

10) Short term pain at the pump. Long term control of the inputs that determine who builds the infrastructure of the next century. Every gallon over $4 buys leverage over the single most important technological competition in human history. That's the trade being made whether you like it or not.

The U.S. is a net importer of crude oil. The only value in this is that you can sell in USD. But here's the thing. Two months ago nearly all the oil going through Hormuz was sold in USD. So we have gained nothing and risked the global economy. Don't celebrate pyrrhic victories.
