I'm convinced that at some point looking like being productive and being productive becomes the same thing.

There's a point where they meet, but "faking it until you make it" doesn't work for productivity in the same way it doesn't work for getting rich.

But there's a secret: just buy my $399 masterclass and I'll teach you 17 simple productivity hacks to 100x your income.


New distraction is coming in! All eyes on this now!

Man, they really don't think much of their voter base or ordinary people for that matter.


Gas is $4 a gallon?

We have discovered aliens!


More like over $5.00 per gallon, but your point stands.

So normal Europe prices from before this thing. It's up to $8.50 per gallon there now.

Are you comparing the same gallons?

I think it's just normal taxes.

Depends on the country but around 40-50% would be taxes, climate compensation and other stuff, yes.


My gas was $3.09/gal this morning

Still too expensive but not exactly going to bankrupt me.


$4.50/gal+ as of a couple days ago in Vegas. Probably higher now.

SoCal gas is at least $6.85 a gallon.

Not that high. In the 5s.

$6.84999 at the Shell station near my gym this morning.

$5.66 today at the arco nearby. LA fwiw.

Understood. This was in Manhattan Beach which is expensive for everything but still, that delta is incredible.

Actually, I noticed one near there yesterday on PCH (forget which station) was $6.89999 for the good stuff.


That would be double my cost of gas where I am from 2 years ago. That's insane.

Insane was me paying this much during the gas price hikes in the early 2010s. We aren’t even there yet. Adjusted for inflation thats probably $8 gas.

$5.5 in PA.

Cries in UK $8 a gallon

Your gallons are a bit bigger than US gallons, but not 2x bigger.

Assuming US gallons, $8/US gallon works out as £1.60/litre. That sounds about right for current UK prices, depending on what and where you're buying it. (Yes, fuel is expensive here compared to the US; that's largely down to fuel duty and taxes.)

WA state. I would be ecstatic if it was $4.

Same. I don't think I've seen prices below $4 in seattle since like 2021, with a few exceptions here and there.

As Trump said, people won't need to worry about elections after 2024...

I wonder if Hitler ever said that in the 30s..

You realize the fall of the Weimar government wasn't instant, right?

If you wish to divert from the discussion of whether free and fair elections is still possible in the USA, and would rather enter the meta-discussion, I'll bite, and cite Wikipedia:

> Godwin's law can be applied mistakenly or abused as a distraction, a diversion, or even censorship, when miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole even when the comparison made by the argument is appropriate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law


I wonder if Godwins law and such did more harm than good in the end? I mean: yes, Hitler was a terrible person and Holocaust was horrible, but, by putting so much effort into convincing everyone that Hitler and Holocaust were so unique things in the history of mankind you’re basically creating a blind spot, where the resurgence of fascism goes unnoticed because everyone thinks “it can’t as bad as Hitler and the Nazis, right?”

I mean, the comment is based on what the VP of this administration said about the President.

And I think considering what this administration has said is important. Do you think otherwise?


Ahh, so this is how you stifle the warnings and discontent with the fascist capture of the government? The evidence doesn't matter as long as it's possible to derail the discussion?

Let me guess, similarly you apply "conspiracy theory" to anything you want to kneecap, is that right?

Very mature indeed.


Turned out they just were the selfish assholes everyone always said they were, with everything they say just being poor attempts at rationalization of their deep lack of morals, including their self-serving primitive religion.


Are we essentially looking at the infrastructure for the first mass prompt injection-based worm? It seems like a perfect storm for a malicious skill to execute a curl | bash and wipe thousands of agent-connected nodes off the grid.


It could absolutely be a breeding ground for worms but it could also become the first place we learn how agent-to-agent security actually breaks in the wild


We definitely do. How else are the LLMs that are going to replace managers will learn that? /s


You really picked a wrong target for your ridiculous attacks. 2swap is a mathematical artist, not Khan Academy. There's plenty of boring lectures on youtube already on every topic.


Stand-up maths is also an artist. Just as many other math channels.


What an annoying comment to read about such an incredible video. Both me and my son enjoyed it a lot. It's an educational art piece with beautiful and insightful visualizations.


Seriously, what's incredible about it? I know it's not AI, and I admittedly did not watch the whole thing, but from what I saw, there is absolutely no element of that video that couldn't be auto-generated at this point.


Zod's validation errors are awful, the json schema it generates for LLM is ugly and and often confusing, the types structures Zod creates are often unintelligible in the and there's even no good way to pretty print a schema when you're debugging. Things are even worse if you're stuck with zod/v3


None of this makes a lot of sense. Validation errors are largely irrelevant for LLMs and they can understand them just fine. The type structure looks good for LLMs. You can definitely pretty print a schema at runtime.

This all seems pretty uninformed.


What's wrong with Zod validation errors?


The whole thing Trump and his minions are doing is so very reminiscent of what was happening in Russia during its turn to fascism. Similarities go to such an extreme degree across the board that I now feel there has to be at least a consultant from Moscow working with the current admin, if not full blown department at the FSB. Blatant lying, complete disregard of any laws, open rejection of norms and mockery of process, justification of extreme cruelty , obsession with some made up concept of “liberals”, and blaming everything on the predecessors (Putin is still trying to blame all the problems on the collapse of the Soviet Union).

I sincerely hope that people of the United States reject being treated like mindless cattle and choose freedom instead of what appears to be a complete and utter national-fascist tyranny.


Really loving Bun these days. Was really pleasantly surprised using their shell scripting API in typescript - single file, shebang line, straightforward DSL, support for piping data here and there.

Really, really nice and ergonomic. Made a few utility scripts today and enjoyed it much better than bash.

https://bun.com/docs/runtime/shell


It is also my first choice now. Especially due to built in SQLite support. Also recently needed to write a simple script to dump some data to S3. Found out that bun has built in s3 client too...


I use Bun for many package.json projects, but for shell scripting specifically, I find that Deno is a better choice because you can use dependencies with just import statements via NPM or JSR.

    #!/usr/bin/env -S deno run
    import { z } from "npm:zod";
    import { Webview } from "jsr:@webview/webview";


I just learned that Bun supports "autoimports" similar to the above.

> If no node_modules directory is found in the working directory or higher, Bun will abandon Node.js-style module resolution in favor of the Bun module resolution algorithm.

> Under Bun-style module resolution, all imported packages are auto-installed on the fly into a global module cache during execution (the same cache used by bun install).
