This just isn’t true. You can disagree with his tactics or disagree with his proposed solutions, but he wants a generous welfare state, well funded public schools, and a functioning health care system that works for everybody. He is a vegan who is far to the left of your average American.

Claude Code overview - Anthropic Learn about Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal and helps you turn ideas into code faster than ever before.

I think this is a combination of /resume for a section of codebase and good Claude.md files. I’ve heard people setting up a Claude.md for multiple directories, but that’s a fair amount of work and Claude requires some oversight

We should have a single set of rules that everyone follows.

We should make it easier for the social housing developer to build more housing and for everyone else too as well.

These guys both knew there was a good chance a republican would win while they were writing this book. They saw the polls.

I’ve heard of one other example: home owner in San Francisco planned to sell in the coming 5 years and having a tenant in their basement unit would have made the building worth far less and would have made the sale difficult.

Even then I don’t think the math made sense.

I’m not a political pro, but it’s quite possible she sees Vancouver as a slam dunk and needs that light pink surround instead of a dark pink to win.

That’s mind blowing. I would have guessed far more people made minimum wage.

Is there a coding convention in Python that you just copy scripts and append β€œ_improved” to the name?

Claude Code updates files in javascript apps, but when when it writes Python, it just spews out new scripts for every update.

It’s terrible!

When a metric that is important (longer chats) becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure...

... and you get an AI that constantly asks annoying follow up questions

If you buy the "SUV kit" it seats 5, but that might make it more normal-car expensive.

This is the way. ID.4 and ancient leaf here.

I'll replace the leaf (45-50 mile effective range) with that truck in a heartbeat.

Waymos drive exactly the speed limit. Not one mile an hour above it.

Now other self driving companies might not be as good when they come online.

Almost certainly not. Mine can barely stay in the lane.

Seattle's monorail (RIP) proposed only elevators and stairs at a few stations to save money.

Here's a 50 page report on elevators vs. escalators at this stop. Read the analysis thoroughly and make sure it's sound.

It's been a long time since I was even an environmental consultant, so I don't know my transit research well. Maybe "help me use ML to count the number of people on the platform across 5,000 pictures," or "I have this messy commuter dataset. Clean it up and help me do analysis"

Yeah - deep research especially just... does research from the web and then summarizes it.

ChatGPT - WMATA Subway Extension Proposal Shared via ChatGPT

Here is Deep Research's answer: chatgpt.com/share/6807cc...

I'm sure it isn't human-quality as this really is too big a bite for AI in today's state. It's better suited to help with the 5,000 smaller questions that lead up to extending a line. And maybe drafting sections of the EIS.

Like humans, robots do better with context. Like you could ask this of a transit planner and they'd give you five answers depending on what you are optimizing for.

Not that they'd nail it either way.
