@KatieMiller @NateSilver538 You didn't answer his question, because you are both evil and stupid. Unfortunately, not an impressive combo.
English
@NateSilver538 “But recent events – a federal agent killing an ICU nurse for seemingly no reason and with no provocation – shock the conscience.”
“No reason”
English
Katie, are you objecting to the "liberal" part or the "democracy" part?
"Liberal" doesn't mean "left", especially when preceded by "classical". It certainly doesn't mean woke.
Tbh though it seems like it's the whole democracy thing that bothers you and Stephen Miller.

One Republican looked at federal “retribution” and said: I’m out. That’s not quitting — that’s smelling the fire before the house collapses.
When your own side starts backing away from the mob, the problem isn’t messaging.
It’s the mission.
Now the lane opens for the loudest loyalist left.
Not leadership. Not vision. Just devotion.
If the party’s future belongs to people who cheer punishment over governance…
what exactly are they trying to govern?

Looks like Mike Lindell now has the inside track for the Republican nomination.

@patsdaur40904 @mtracey I cannot take any claims of caring about fraud from this administration seriously when Trump continues to pardon fraudsters.
English
@mtracey Or - or - the fraud scandal so extreme the governor had to drop out of the race - exposed that Minnesota democrats are a crime syndicate. Which obviously makes the region they control more lawless and needing enforcement of all types including immigration.
English
People act like the Minnesota chaos is just about generic enforcement of immigration law, when it's actually about a specific (and specifically aggressive) ICE operation that was only launched in December 2025 -- pompously called "Operation Metro Surge" -- following a series of unrelated political controversies involving Minnesota.
Namely the issue of Somali public services fraud, which has nothing in particular to do with "illegal immigration," as in the type of thing that ICE agents are typically charged with investigating, because whatever you may think of the Somalis, nothing about their apparent fraud is rectified by the ongoing ICE street "surge" -- the Somalis, by and large, have proper legal status, whether you like it or not.
So the operation, and its seemingly arbitrary focus on Minnesota, appears openly punitive in nature, rather than rationally targeted against an area with an especially outsized prevalence of "illegal immigrants," of the kind that ICE has a mandate to investigate.
By all available evidence, it's principally motivated by Trump not liking Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar, et al.
DHS openly brags it's the "largest DHS operation ever." Why else would this be taking place in Minnesota, which has a relatively low population of illegal immigrants, and relatively low violent crime, compared to other states?

@simonw @DavidKPiano Isn't the full automation of software development 1 year away? Why bother "catching up" or "building intuition over what works" if this is the case?
English
@DavidKPiano "Catching up takes a day, not month"
I don't think that's true. I see so many people throwing their hands up saying "I don't get why you have good results from this stuff while I find it impossible to get decent code that works"
The difference is I've spent 3+ years with it!
English
The "you're falling behind on AI" crowd is weird. The whole point of this tech is that things get 10x easier, not harder.
Complicated agent/prompting patterns get replaced by better models, simpler patterns, and plug-and-play tools. Catching up takes a day, not months.
English
This is like when the press dutifully reported that Trump disavowed Project 2025. Every day is the first day for reporters, pleasantly unaware of anything that has ever gone on before.

@wookash_podcast Why would anyone hire a vibecoder? Just vibecode it yourself, or have an agent vibecode it…

@patio11 Whaaaat? What kind of examples do people cite for “technology decays in effectiveness?”
English
I think a lot of gap between people who “get” LLMs and people who don’t is that some people understand current capabilities to be a floor and some people understand them to be either a ceiling or close enough to a ceiling.
English
@wanyeburkett Most people live in the suburbs or urban areas, and so most people experience traffic. Driving on the open road is a lot of fun - there’s a reason that’s what they show in car commercials! It’s just not the reality for most car drivers - if it were, it wouldn’t exist.

@simondouthwaite @Noahpinion We shouldn't have to "translate" our President...
English
@Noahpinion We should all be able to translate Trump by now.
It's part of his attraction that he speaks as he thinks, unfiltered. We're sick of grey bureaucrats.
Not ideal.
But he's talking about something important - rare earths and Chinese strangleholds - in his own Trumpian way.
English
It's important to remember that America's current pivot towards authoritarian state-capitalism is being spearheaded by an elderly idiot

“China has to give us magnets. If they don't, we charge a 200% tariff or something. Nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago let’s all do magnets." - Trump ?????

@AmericaRus2024 @espurrs_eyes @moshik_temkin And my general experience at US airports has been much longer than 15 minutes from entry to gate. Perhaps smaller airports are better, but I find that larger airports - usually in locations where people most regularly travel to+through - are much worse.
English
@AmericaRus2024 @espurrs_eyes @moshik_temkin Not every route should have high-speed rail! I agree with you that a direct train from Grand Rapids to Sarasota doesn't make sense. However, there are many corridors in the US where taking a plane is a straight downgrade from a good train.
English
The day I took this train I realized just how far the US, once the infrastructural envy of the world, had fallen behind China. Nothing like this will ever be built in America in our lifetime, it’s politically impossible.

@NYCTWITR @StreetsblogNYC Why are delivery costs "continuing to rise"? The decongestion price hasn't "continued to rise"...
English
Majority comments on this post and similar posts are negetive. Clearly showing that majority of new yorkers oppose this tax. This is again a lie, i live downtown & the emptiness and low footfall during peak hours is very apparent. We continue to experience rising costs at the local bodega & deliveries due to this unfair tax - this is wrong on so many levels & to watch my city continue to deteriorate because QOL issues are being ignored & special interest agendas that benefit no one are being prioritized by the worst new york @GovKathyHochul is simply egregious abuse of power!!

@vkrajacic Why is there so much emphasis on “doesn’t make silly syntax errors” here? Is that the bottleneck for these vibe coders?

It's game over. We're toasted.

Taelin@VictorTaelin
Suppose that you need to write a 1000-LOC function. You ask Grok3, and it fails. In that situation, most devs would fallback to coding manually. I argue that, instead, they should keep giving the AI info, until it succeeds. "Why? Won't it be faster to just type the 1000 lines?" In some cases, perhaps. But you still want the AI to do it, because AIs are *way* less sloppy than humans. They don't flip arguments nor make silly syntax errors. They fail for different (and even complimentary) reasons that humans do: AIs fail because of bad reasoning. So, if you just take charge of the reasoning, you can get the best of both worlds: your code will be in the perfect "AI-generated" shape, and it will have the correct logic, feed by you. This works very well for any reasoning model that exposes its thinking traces, because you can see clearly *why* the AI failed. "Oh, Grok3 spent half of the reasoning trying to figure out where ids are stored. Well, I can just add that to the prompt, and try again." Writing lines manually in 2025 is a harmful, fallback practice.

@vkrajacic @caballerobrah Great to hear that's on the roadmap - I have to do this constantly and would really benefit from server UNC path support!
English
@caballerobrah Thank you! If you join our discord server, PM me for vip channel.
File Pilot supports accessing content through mapped network drives. It doesn't currently support direct access via UNC paths or entire NAS devices. Support for that will be added in an upcoming versions.
English
Great project. Only limitation I’ve seen so far is having to fall back to File Explorer to map network drives (FP might have it too but I couldn’t find it).
I prepaid for Pro. I want to encourage more projects that emphasize low latency and a great native experience.
Casey Muratori@cmuratori
If you're tired of Windows Explorer's laggy behavior and lack of features, there is some very good news: FilePilot is now in open beta!
