On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

For me it feels that having the agent like a paid programmer (so def NOT go off and build without me) was a big factor.

Also using exclusively plan mode where I get a view of what’s the plan before we write any code.

Video of ICE shooting of Texas man raises questions about government claim An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official said Ruben Martinez β€œintentionally ran over” an agent before being killed by another agent in south Texas last year.

We know about the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But there was a very similar killing of a young man named Ruben Martinez in which immigration agents claimed he attacked them with his car before they shot him. New video suggests that too may be a lie. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Still very barebones but this was way faster than I could ever be without Claude and a skill quizzing me on how this works along the way.

And you KNOW I don’t learn new shit easy πŸ˜…

And it isn’t like Iran is done bombing everyone now that they have a new leader. They’re mad as hell.

But it is their business.

It's everyone on earth's business exactly how racist white US folk are, because their choices affect the whole entire planet, as we're seeing right now.

"Who I voted for is deeply personal!🀑" is a US defense mechanism so that people can pretend not to know who is racist.

Footage reviewed and geolocated by Bellingcat confirms US tomahawk missiles hit the girls’ primary school in southern Iran that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Researcher Trevor Ball notes Israel does not possess Tomahawk missiles. United States does.

I’ve been struggling with these ideas for a few months now and I think you break down very well. Thank you for sharing it

AI Didn't Break the Senior Engineer Pipeline. It Showed That One Never Existed. Most organizations never had a model for developing engineers. They had an environment that produced growth by accident. AI just made the luck run out.

If coding is your favorite part of software engineering, keep coding. AI doesn't stop you. But if coding was the only part you were good at, that's a different conversation. The job was always bigger than the code. #bransoncognac blog.bryanl.dev/posts/ai-sen...

OpenAI on Surveillance and Autonomous Killings: You’re Going to Have to Trust Us OpenAI says Americans shouldn’t worry about the ethics of its new Pentagon contract. You’ll have to take their word for it (and Pete Hegseth’s).

OpenAI’s Pentagon deal boils down to one thing: Total blind trust in the integrity of Sam Altman, Pete Hegseth, and Donald Trump.

If you're a CS grad student in the US, I'll pay you a small fee to write for The Consensus. I'm especially looking for articles that compare the state of research to the state of what devs do in practice, because there are often interesting discrepancies.

None of the lessons learned are β€œdon’t give the agent access to terraform prod.

It’s wild.

Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work

There is not enough being said at this point about the Nazis deciding they ate enough of the GOP and are now working to infiltrate the Dem party. This is starting to feel like a trend (also see platner)

About 60% of the so-called masculinity crisis is men being treated just a little bit more like women and they cannot deal. The other forty percent is climate anxiety and learned helplessness.

One of the things I find intensely exhausting about aspects of our industry is if you get into a certain type of thing it eats your entire brain.
