    Correction: Education is not OK.

    AI is just giving poor kids the same opportunities rich kids have had for decades. Opportunities for cheating the system that was made specifically not to give students the best education possible but instead to bring them up to speed on the bare minimum required to become factory workers.

    Except we don’t have very many factories any more. And we don’t have jobs for all these graduates that pay a living wage.

    The banks are going to have to get involved soon. They’re going to have to figure out a way to load up working-age people with long term debt without college being involved.







  • Who knows, maybe we might even let them come back to US soil they might leave CECOT alive—some day.

    FTFY.

    When you kidnap people without due process on the regular you’re encouraging people to fight back. When you send them to foreign gulags known for literally torturing and killing people and forcing them into slave labor you’re encouraging them to fight back with deadly force.

    Dying—fighting for your life—sure sounds better than just giving up and letting ICE take you away. At this point the Trump Administration and ICE cannot be trusted to execute due process. They’re operating outside of the law. They are the lawless ones.

    They’re hoping for deadly conflict and I fear they’re going to get it. Though, on the plus side I’m 100% certain they will be unhappy with the outcome. In both the short and long term.


  • To be fair, the world of JavaScript is such a clusterfuck… Can you really blame the LLM for needing constant reminders about the specifics of your project?

    When a programming language has five hundred bazillion absolutely terrible ways of accomplishing a given thing—and endless absolutely awful code examples on the Internet to “learn from”—you’re just asking for trouble. Not just from trying to get an LLM to produce what you want but also trying to get humans to do it.

    This is why LLMs are so fucking good at writing rust and Python: There’s only so many ways to do a thing and the larger community pretty much always uses the same solutions.

    JavaScript? How can it even keep up? You’re using yarn today but in a year you’ll probably like, “fuuuuck this code is garbage… I need to convert this all to [new thing].”
