This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks.

We already have Muslim students agitating, but it is the Western students themselves who will destabilize their own countries.”
This is the decades-old plan by the Iranian regime, Qatar and their proxies Hezbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood to destroy America and Europe.
@BermudaDunesGuy@sdcta A number of city office staff activity work against the interests of residents by persuing their own agendas, so cutting those staff might actually stop things from getting worse.
The most generous people are the ones who voluntarily open their own wallets.
The least generous people are the ones who want government to forcibly open other people’s wallets.
David Sacks: "California collects roughly double per capita what Texas and Florida do… And services got worse, test scores got worse, crime prevention got worse, they let convicts out of jails. Everything's gotten worse."
