Weird how Claude Code itself is still so buggy though (though I get they don't necessarily care)

I wonder why nearly all the focus in the US on healthy diets is on the Mediterranean diet and not the Japanese one...

(Greece commits a lot of pension fraud too)

Yeah wouldn't they pull out all the stops if this were the case? Including running these drones during the day and all night (and making up a cover story)?

The actual quote from the Coast Guard says they saw some drones but they weren't a threat. The Congressman is that one that says the Coast Guard says they were followed by drones.

I'm really sick of guys like Eric Topol who are basically covid influencers, bc they love to post studies but are completely unable to critically examine any studies. Pre-covid I thought that's what scientists did, but if they're doing that, they're not doing it in the public eye at all.

Or if you work from home and never go out to restaurants or do anything that you need to be unmasked and around other people for (or hang out indoors unmasked with anyone who does such things), the social isolation can be pretty bad too. I guess there's no real incentive to run studies about that but I bet they'd show all sorts of ill effects of essentially locking down in perpetuity.

...or you're just fine catching covid outside of work but it's so much worse to catch it in an office

Corporate personhood means that you can own a piece of a company without being personally liable, because the corporation is its own legal entity. This is why people can start businesses without worrying about being in debt for the rest of their lives if it fails. After all, if the corporation isn't a separate legal entity but just a collection of investors, if the corporation wronged someone, the investors could be sued personally.

Maybe the concept is taken too far in terms of political donations and free speech but no corporate personhood would mean that very few people would stick out their necks to start or invest in companies. I don't think a modern economy would even be possible.

Does Spotify still not have a way to pick up where you left off on a podcast after venturing into music for a while and coming back? I remember there being something extremely annoying about that very obvious usecase which made me just go back to Pocket Casts, even though that app can't even stream a podcast without some sort of skip or fast forward.

Assuming that the murderer has lots of priors, why is it so hard for cities to (1) not overpolice minor crimes (i.e. weed) and also (2) take violent crimes seriously and incarcerate anyone who commits X number or X severity of them?

Instead every time at least in NYC when you hear about someone killing an elderly Asian, turns out they had like 20+ priors, including some violent misdemeanors, which are often quite serious. No one wants to put people in jail for stealing a loaf of bread (a straw man that often comes out) but if repeat violent offenders keep committing more violent crimes, maybe we actually need to keep them in prison longer?

Why are people such bleeding hearts for repeat violent offenders?

Don't you know we can only compare the US to Europe???

For legal research, lawyers already use third party sites like Westlaw. You can do legal research without giving up any confidential client information.

I just asked GPT-3 a research question that took me hours of searching back in the day and it returned the single seminal case for that topic immediately. As long as the lawyers then actually read the case and make sure it's right, I don't see why they can't use it.

I've heard that many people who don't know any coding at all often apply to bootcamps and simply just flunk the first coding assessment they get. They probably help account for much of the low admissions rate at any half decent bootcamp (that have coding assessments).
