TypeScript doesn’t really save this
TypeScript tells me the values are booleans. That’s not really the problem.
The types are technically correct. I still have to remember what the arguments mean.
You could use branded/tagged types. Probably not useful in these narrow, one-off occurrences. But if you have a concept that applies across your whole domain, they can be useful.
Artisanal, farm-to-table entertainment systems.
The worst part is:
We’re in this position because of slow productivity (lack of infrastructure investment) and extreme inequality (lack of wealth tax and lack of welfare spending).
If we simply cut — even in the areas that really need it, like military — these problems will persist and even worsen, because it’s basically saying “okay, economy’s over — winners are winners forever now”.
For that reason, we should probably pitch “fossil fuel austerity”.
Fiscal conservatives like to say “the government’s spending is just like yours”, even though it’s not.
So why don’t we copy their approach and say “gas is too expensive for the government, just like it’s too expensive for you — so just like you, we’re comparison shopping and looking for a better deal… like solar!”
The stuck-on residue is real.
But here’s the brutal reality: it’s not just residue; it’s residon’t.

Graph is once again relevant:
If you’re in the bottom 90% (by income), it literally doesn’t matter what you want. Every bill has a 31% chance of passing.
If you’re in the top 10% though… it doesn’t matter what the other 90% want.
In a few years, corpos will be desperate for programmers. Their codebases will be in shambles and the frontier models (that can barely make anything out of that mess) will not be so heavily subsidized anymore. (Or permanently offline.)
He did say he would “reign hell”.
“Descent into fascism”, “Decent ways into fascism”… easy to confuse the two.
When yall gonna arrest Sam Altman?
Consistently under-reported: If you spend a few hundred million on security research, you’re gonna find a lot of vulnerabilities.
The real revelation is not how much more skilled Mythos is, but how much better funded.
How many vulnerabilities would’ve been found if we had spent several million dollars on human security researchers though?
Over-budget on the user side, sure. Gimme the numbers on the vendor side though. They’ve gotta be bleeding money at an eye-watering rate. Can we please end the subsidies so that we can all agree on the reality that this is not a sustainable practice?
Deterministic: ✅ ❌
Oh god nix output
No, forward slash. No, the — It’s the one that goes up and to the right. No you do have one, trust me, just keep look — No, you can’t just use the “other slash”, and it’s called “backslash”. … Well because different things mean different things, Phil. sigh Just, it’s the one you think of when you write a fraction. No that’s a hyphen. It’s angled, remember? Why did you type 5? Oh, the percent sign. No I see why that — Well, because you didn’t use the shift key. Yeah it’s the one — You just hit enter, didn’t you?
“Did you just have Claude ship all this code?”
“Yep”
“You shouldn’t ship code you don’t understand…”
“Good point. Claude, go understand this code for me!”
Culture is our most important invention as a species. So important, in fact, that we’ve evolved to make it essential to our individual health and collective capacity to function. To deny someone access to interact with culture on the basis of their lack of wealth is cruel and anti-human.
Likewise, developing something like an LLM, which spews thoughtless pollution into the only shared infosphere we have, and displaces individuals’ ability to connect to each other to develop culture… that is an existential threat to the human race and should be opposed vehemently.
The command opened the alternate buffer.
