When everything is underlined, nothing is.

I guess I don’t understand. If you don’t vote, then the Democrats will move further right to grab more of the Republican votes…

My main issue with using the general chatbot is that it’s an incredibly inefficient way to convey information. For writing tasks I essentially need to type most of the answer first to get reasonable outputs when considering my actual constraints.

More specialized tooling will have these constraints built-in, which will increase productivity.

Even if we have the perfect general chatbot, it’s still a lot of work to concisely describe your requirements to it.

It works!

I totally agree. I always think it’s weird when they have interviews or podcasts about talking to CEOs and they all say something like “you just have to work hard enough”. Yeah. Okay.

Where are the podcasts where they ask lottery winners for some vapid aphorism about hard work paying off?

Okay good. I thought the books were different, but I read Wool a decade ago and thought I just had a bad memory.

I read Shift, but didn’t like it quite as much as Wool. Would you recommend reading Dust?

There’s a LegalEagle video which sums it up: Trump’s Bombshell Federal Document Indictment

Essentially,

• Trump took classified information during his time as president and failed to return them
• When asked to return them he failed to comply until forced
• When forced to comply, he still kept many documents the government knew were missing and lied to the government and his lawyers indicating that they were returned
• Was caught on tape admitting that he knew they were classified and that it was wrong for him to have them

The first bullet point apparently happens often (Biden, Pence, Hillary have all done similarly in the past). Trump is singular in that he didn’t readily comply with the request for the return of documents and the consequent lies to the government (also illegal).

I’m excited about the updated traffic sim. My CS games always just ended up being how to best plan roads to avoid the bad AI.

I’ve been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It’s like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they’re working on a sequel, so maybe I’ll play that next decade when it’s on sale.

Things like this always make me wonder if a state could legally turn into a dictatorship.

Could Florida legally change it’s constitution to say “All governing power rests entirely in Ron DeSantis” and dissolve it’s representative bodies? Obviously it would still be beholden to voters for national elections (representatives and senators), but statewide there could be nothing.
