@gvanrossum i’ve found this approach to be useful.

"Red/green TDD" talks about how you can get much better results from most coding agents by encouraging them to use test-first development where they watch the tests fail before building an implementation that lets them pass simonwillison.net/guides/agentic…

Coding agents cheat! I had it write some code and asked it to improve performance based on a benchmark. Boy did it cheat. My coworker had a similar experience with a different model. This points to a lack of common sense. Maybe this can be added to coding agents system prompt? (Rather than me having to put it in AGENTS.md.)

this response is what the disconnect is between the Dems and regular Americans.

Not a single person of consequence believes that No Kings is some magical solution to save democracy; no serious person argues that occasionally joining a protest is all anyone needs to do. But as an exercise of shared democratic participation, protests matter very much.

not bizarre. just gaslighting 101

this seems like an all round bizarre interaction?

For my friends who are still using UV and might be a little weary about recent compromises to PyPi packages, stick this in your pyproject.toml.
You can let all of those pip users find and report the compromises...

@JeremyLNeufeld @buxwal @cojobrien @AmyMNice haven’t read the whole proposal, but how would this verification be done? DOL is notoriously slow and the slower process would outright kill any of the gains achieved by this anyway.

The Trump admin just published a new proposed rule this morning with two different ideas for preventing H-1Bs from undercutting American workers.
In a new analysis @cojobrien, @amymnice, and I dig into both of these proposals: ifp.org/prevailing-wag…
Proposal 1: Blind Benchmarking. This proposal basically keeps the existing prevailing wage paradigm, but updates the percentiles.
Proposal 2: Experience Benchmarking. This proposal is new and has three features:
1) It would require employers to report the actual qualifications of the worker, so they can no longer get lower prevailing wage levels by under-classifying job descriptions.
2) It incorporates new data from ACS with OEWS to directly measure whether a visa holder would earn less than a similarly qualified American. If there’s a wage gap, the application is denied.
3) Sets the prevailing wage at the median for a comparable worker (with wage levels for the weighted lottery at the 50th, 62nd, 75th, and 90th percentiles for workers with the same occupation, area, education, and experience)
Experience Benchmarking would essentially end wage arbitrage, prevent employers from gaming the system, and preserve H-1Bs for the most exceptional talent.
Two petitions from FY2024 illustrate the logic of both options. This PhD scientist makes a $22k premium over Americans with the same education and experience doing the same job, while this IT engineer has an $18k wage gap. But Blind Benchmarking gets both cases wrong!
DOL’s Blind Benchmarking proposal would grant an H-1B to the IT worker earning $18k less than comparable Americans, while denying the research scientist earning $22k more than his peers.
This is pretty common. Blind Benchmarking fails to correctly classify when an H-1B worker is underpaid or not about a third of the time.
From our perspective, the choice between both of these options is pretty clear.

So far, Nayib Bukele is on track to be the Lee Kuan Yew of Latin America. The Simon Bolivar of the new century.
He focused on building up his own country. He embraced hard money and cut off hard drugs.
He did imprison criminals, but did so with the minimum necessary force. He persuaded first, and compelled only when absolutely necessary. Like Lee Kuan Yew, Bukele turned his country into a bonafide showcase for a global audience.
Bukele built a domestic coalition in his native Spanish and an international coalition in fluent English. He balanced El Salvadoran nationalism with diplomacy and capitalism, recruiting Tether, xAI, Bitcoin, and tech to the country.
Incredibly, he’s made El Salvador into a model not just for Latin Americans, but for North Americans. And he did it in less than ten years, with absolutely no precedent in the region.

Bukele is the greatest American president of the 21st century.

Watched an Indian TV show after a long time Kohrra Season 2 and so far it seems even better than Season 1. Mona Singh has a strong screen presence and Barun Sobti as her #2 make for a strong slow burn investigative duo.

The M5 Max MacBook Pro is faster at GPU Blender renders than a Nvidia 5090 laptop that costs 3x as much as the MacBook Pro. So that's interesting.
