“AI” is just another commodity technology in most regards. Hype-hounds will lose their minds over it, stalwarts will pen witty pieces in McSweeny’s lambasting it as something their parents never needed, and the rest of us are just along for the ride.

I've used each of Cursor and Windsurf as my daily driver IDE for at least 6 weeks each. I've used Claude Code at least several times a week since launch. And the conclusion I keep coming back to, is that Microsoft/Github is going to win the AI-integrated IDE war.

Jesus fucking Christ. I’m pretty pro-capitalism, generally speaking, but it’s gotta come with checks. 19 fucking families earning $1 trillion in 12 months is LUDICROUS.

“Scholars and observers of republican societies have made this point from ancient times to the present. A republic is only as good as its citizens.”

ChatGPT o3 has genuinely saved me a bunch of time in the last week or so doing rather tedious stuff. It's practical benefits like this that I think are going to be far more common uses for LLMs. They're useful without the hype-laden futurist nonsense.

The Autism "study" will be led by a guy who pretended to be a doctor even though he only has a BA in bio and who attempted a small-scale genocide of autistic people through chemical castration, so you know it'll be legit.

Going hard in the Car & Driver comments.

Prior to the election some friends and acquaintances were frustrated with our two party system. Some voted third party, even. I can’t help but feel like they all took for granted that we’d have at least two parties. Not sure that’s panning out well as we speed toward a one-party system.

Never forget: Sen. Elizabeth Warren kicked off her career as a college professor.

I’m seeing a lot of people making fun of their incompetence for this, but that’s not what this is. This whole regime is a gang of bullies, headed by a bully, and like all bullies, they’re cowards. Stand up to them, and they whimper away.

If you've been switching IDEs a lot lately, you might have been annoyed when a `git rebase` launched the wrong editor. I know I was. So I wrote this short script to use the current IDE instead. Works with VSCode, Cursor, and Windsurf. Easy to add others if needed too!

In an amicus brief for Perkins Coie filed today, 27 former USG officials write that EO’s targeting law firms amount to a constitutionally prohibited bill of attainder. Read Harold Hongju Koh, Fred Halbhuber, and Inbar Pe’er’s historical context and analysis: www.justsecurity.org/110109/presi...

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
