Perhaps Boston can make an argument that California's wealth tax will march down the net worth boundaries.

If they can get a group of those founders to come back that could be the start of something new.

This reminds me of the rumors of the cult Aum Shinrikyo testing nuclear weapons in the outback. They had previously released sarin gas on the Tokyo subway in 1995.

It was lightly detailed in Bill Bryson's book, "In a Sunburned Country", but I don't think there was any confirmation what they were doing was nuclear.

Have we completely forgotten about how Tesla dealerships were shot up, firebombed? Video after video showing cybertrucks vandalized with scratches and spray paint?

It may be a terrible car from a terrible program, but these events at least bear mentioning. If you saw it happening in 2025, would it have a cooling effect on your decision to purchase? Who would want the trouble?

My anecdotal experience was with perl guys who were ex-military, irreverent, and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants. The Java and .NET guys were straight laced and nerdy.

If the Te Awa Tupua is a legal person, and it floods its banks and destroys my home, can I sue it and be made whole?

It seems like they've afforded a river all the rights and privileges of a person with none of the responsibilities, duties, or obligations.

Sometimes it's not simply a lack of curiosity, but having the space to build these tools into your workflow. As a solo dev responsible for all development, project management, support, & infra, I've gotten as far as trying to use Aider for doing some features in our legacy codebase but not having it break the time-cost-benefit barrier.

Now I feel like there's probably other workflows out there that I'm ignorant to that could be better, but keeping up feels impossible. Is there a particular approach/tool that you're finding to be really beneficial?

What tasks have you found the 0.6B model useful for? The hallucination that's apparent during its thinking process put up a big red flag for me.

Conversely, the 4B model actually seemed to work really well and gave results comparable to Gemini 2.0 Flash (at least in my simple tests).

I think the frequency of organ-centered cults is lower than you might imagine.
