So is not being a dick

That's not tough love, that's just dodging a topic you dislike by insinuating that anyone who disagrees must be mentally ill.

Really just comes off as projection of your own insecurities.


> Really just comes off as projection of your own insecurities.

No kidding, dude needs to know where everyone is AT ALL TIMES or he’s going to have a panic attack. Really makes you wonder what kind of pathology is behind these people who must have total surveillance, no matter the consequences.


Shaming people for having past trauma and seeking therapy is so 90s. You're living in the past, man.


Wouldn’t the same argument then be applied to all scraped data?


I thought it was Lora the CRTD implementation, but then realized that Loro


To enable local-first or offline-first design. I prefer having data stored on-device and only optionally backed up to cloud


What does it mean for the court system though, what happens to video and image evidence?


We have been able to manipulate legal documents for 100s of years. We have been able to manipulate images for over 100 years. We have been able to manipulate images on any computer with a few hours of training for for 30+ years. We have been able to manipulate videos with training for 20+ years.

It is an order of magnitude easier now (likely as easy as documents have been to manipulate for 30ish years now). However, this is not a new problem, courts have always had to deal with manipulated evidence.


Not just an order of magnitude easier, many orders of magnitude. We're going from hours of painsraking work done by professionals who you pay to virtually instant and as many as you want.


That is for the jury to decide. If they think the evidence is fabricated in some way, they will have reasonable doubt.

Lawyers must carefully pick jurors depending on how susceptible they may be to AI manipulation.


Good eating for "expert witnesses" that can verify/debunk videos in court.


Can AV evidence not be faked without AI tools?


My understanding is that Xi’s control actually slipping and it isn’t complete control like a standard dictator


I thought he had purged his opposition under the cover of anti-corruption drives?


He did yes but more recently seems like there’s been a coup behind the scenes and Xi is more of a figurehead.

Interesting. I hope that is good news for Taiwan.


I got Lyme about 2 months ago. Initially just woke up and had a small bite on back of thigh, thought it was just a fly bite or something and no tick was attached. That night I was feverish and for the next couple nights with muscle soreness like when you sleep on ground or something, mind you I was sleeping in a very rustic cabin so I presumed that actually was the cause. I watched the bite tho and it never showed a bullseye. Instead it had pustules and eventually grew to be a giant red inflamed bite the size of a, well at its peak basically the size of a basketball which is of course wild and alarming. The wound itself got infected which is why the bite grew to that size. At the time I actually thought I had like rolled over on a spider or something and it bit me multiple times cause I had no idea a tick bite could cause this sort of reaction, but I guess my body very violently reacted to the Lyme. I went and got antibiotics for my bite tho the initial GP I saw didn’t test for Lyme even tho I had a mystery bite from being in the woods. Regardless I went on antibiotics just for the infected bite but not for Lyme. It was only 2 weeks later when I was doing yoga and ended up “overstretching” my liver area (the start of my weird Lyme symptoms) such that my right flank was spasming and my whole back chain had seized up leading to a week of intense pain and inability to sleep due to the pain. Ultimately I went to the ER, because well I’m Canadian and the ER is the only place you can get timely healthcare. Thankfully the ER doc there heard about the bite and tested me for Lyme, which ultimately came back positive. I likely would’ve foolishly missed it were it not for her. So I’m very grateful I got bit in 2025 when docs are atleast starting to be more Lyme aware. I went on doxycycline and symptoms resolved. I’m still throwing the kitchen sink at it tho with auxiliary treatments too like ozone IV’s and traditional Chinese medicine herbs from a doc who did their PhD on Lyme. Very much front loading an aggressive approach as early as possible.

What I’ve learned is a couple things: 1. A bullseye doesn’t always appear even if it’s certainly Lyme disease, 2. The bite reaction can be very significant and not what you would think from a normal tic bite, 3. Doxycycline is an incredible drug but also the peer reviewed literature shows the Lyme bacteria and coinfections can remain after even extensive courses of doxy so while it’s very effective it’s not completely effective and shouldn’t be the only tool used. 4. Test early. I’m so thankful the ER doc caught it early for me and I got treated. I actually feel even better than before as ironically the doxy also fixed me decade long digestive issues which is a great plus. But Lyme in its early phase is such a different thing than Lyme that’s been around for a year +. I highly recommend testing asap if anyone ever has any concerns or worries


Who wins in the end? the frogs? the ducks? or the pelicans?


I heard the dragon took the pole, but it may have been wind-aided.


This depends on the value of your LLM_GEMINI_KEY!


What are your thoughts on Tylenol themselves warning against the use of Tylenol while pregnant?

https://x.com/tylenol/status/839196906702127106


An obscure tweet is not medical advice.

In the official product information sheets, they state that you should consult with a medical professional before using it during pregnancy.

A competent medical professional will tell you that it's OK to use in most cases.


It’s a statement from the manufacturer about how the product should be used. It should definitely be considered.

A competent medical professional I’m sure will make their own judgement call which may be that it’s not okay to use while pregnant. We should leave that up to the medical professionals, but I’m glad the recent press conference helps raise awareness for medical professionals to consider.


Not recommending is Cover Your Ass phrasing. It's not a recommendation against. Listen to your doctor.


I'd be very interested



Wow, very nice. Thank you. That's very well thought out.

I'm particularly intrigued by the large bold letters: "Success must be verifiable by the AI / LLM that will be writing the code later, using tools like Codex or Cursor."

May I ask, what your testing strategy is like?

I think you've encapsulated a good best practices workflow here in a nice condensed way.

I'd also be interested to know how you handle documentation but don't want to bombard you with too many questions


I added that line, because otherwise the LLM would generate goals that are not verifiable in development (e.g. certain pages to render <300ms - this is not something you can test on your local machine).

Documentation is a different topic - I have not yet found how to do it correctly. But I am reading about it and might soon test some ideas to co-generate documentation based on the PRD and the actual code. The challenge being, the code normally evolves and drifts away from the original PRD.


I think the only way to keep documentation up-to-date is to have it as part of the PR review process. Knowledge needs to evolve with code.
