@krakek1 Claude Code definitely seems to strongly prefer python, I haven't used Codex so can't say anything about that. Perl sounds like a really weird choice though. Is there anything with your interactions with ChatGPT in the past to make it think you like Perl?
@MattGlassman312 I live in MD, so didn't have to choose, but I think I would have extremely reluctantly voted yes. I'm sure I would have felt sick in the voting booth disenfranchising such a large number of my neighbors, but it feels like the lesser evil. The whole situation is horrible.
@TheZvi I feel like it gaslights me more often: when I ask it to investigate some problem in Claude Code I feel like it half-asses it and then represents some possible sources of the issue and possible solutions without actually taking the time to actually try to figure it out.
@NateSilver538@AnthropicAI Yes, agreed. 4.7 represents vague non-answers and possible answers as answers all the time, and acts like everything is good when nothing has actually been accomplished. Feels like a big step backwards.
@MattGlassman312 He is becoming unpopular enough that he does seem to be in more danger than at any point (except maybe in the extreme lame duck period post Jan 6) in his first term. Major escalation seems crazy given his numbers and the popularity of the war, so I agree. But who knows.
@NateSilver538 If you are fundamentally a conservative person (care about societal cohesion, fitting in, not upsetting things) where I live, you will be quite liberal.
@RavensSalaryCap So we will find out where they are getting the money from for Crosby/Simpson (fingers crossed for a Lamar extension) by tomorrow at 4pm?
@RavensSalaryCap Do you think that they are waiting to see on a Lamar extension before doing Linderbaum, or is it more likely that he (Tyler) is testing the waters no matter what? If they don't extend Jackson does that mean they want Tyler less because they have more cap issues coming up?
@dccommonsense It has caused conservatives to claim that anyone possessing a firearm needs to be considered an immanent threat and liberals to become supporters of the second amendment. For today at least.
@SevenOutPod@dueforawin I'm not against the idea (I've been in Vegas alone before), but definitely not for a basically 24h trip from the East Coast! That is what AC is for!
@TheZvi I think Opus extended thinking seems really good so far at coding, one shotting some stuff that I think Sonnet 3.7 would have not. But on the $20 plan I've hit the limit after just two queries. Conversationally Sonnet 4.0 seems similar to previous versions, but more colloquial?
@adamhchase To answer the question you actually asked: yes, maybe set up a paid account on something like https://t.co/sMHyCE1u3J and make an alert. But I wouldn't be super optimistic about being able to book seats for a specific date in a reasonable timeframe.
@adamhchase The best method by far right now is to just be checking the next two/three weeks on a service like https://t.co/sMHyCE1u3J (free for this)- but that requires you to be able to drop everything and go with sometimes less than 48 hours notice.
Of course, insofar as Mearsheimer's view is correct (he made some valid points, but I agree with @lapatina_ more broadly), it makes me sad. But I'm sure he would gladly tell me that my sadness doesn't matter at all to the decisions that get made.
Just listened to the interview with @lapatina_@TylerMcBrien and @MearsheimerJ. I think the Escalation hosts did a good job getting to what I took as the core crux of Mearsheimer's argument: big countries can and will do what they want, and that power is all that really matters.
Before that, when Mearsheimer was trying to build some universe where the current state of the world was somehow morally justified because of this and that was much weaker. He should just lead with raw power politics, it's much more logically consistent.
