The shittiest thing about AI as a SWE is that while it's not the 10x nitro-boost that all the AI hypebeast grifters on here claim it is, it *is* a net ~30% productivity gain (once you factor in all the review, code slop clean up, etc.), which is *just* enough of a boost where you cannot justify not using it. This is a letdown because using AI after years of learning to code without it is of course an ongoing humiliation ritual, (counterintuitively) *more* exhausting/draining than coding by hand, and way less enjoyable in general.

New York City has gotten so cringe lately. Must be awful for actual cool people living there seeing the transplants yelling about the Knicks, lines out the door of latest slop sandwich shop, plague of street interview videos. It’s not your city anymore, it’s total slop city now.

it's awesome that the president of the united states basically has a personal discord fan server he posts all his updates in like a youtuber

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Boating is not a luxury in South Carolina. It’s a way of life. Our state is home to more than 350,000 registered recreational boats and a marine industry supporting over 27,000 jobs and generating a $6.5 billion economic impact. Our No Tax on Boat Loan Interest Act extends the above-the-line loan interest deduction for cars to boats, allowing American families to deduct up to $10,000 annually in boat loan interest on American-made boats. More affordable boats mean more families recreating on the water, more marine manufacturing jobs in South Carolina, and more investment in an industry already generating billions in economic impact. South Carolina STRONG.

The bill had previously passed the Senate 57-2. The tally in the Assembly was 133-0. The only thing potentially standing in the way of adding $10.18 to the cost of each prescription is Governor Hochul and her veto pen. empirecenter.org/publication…

dawg they just passed the two person train mandate AGAIN after Hochul vetoed it last session. and it has been edited to explicitly prevent any sort of automation on the IBX the only dem who voted against this slop is the GOAT @agounardes

No. Watch. Parties?! “A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night.” Does that mean none of this?! #robot #fdt x.com/wale/status/2062950809…

A bill mandating that pharmacists receive a $10.18 "dispensing fee" for each prescription - which applies to health plans covering smaller employers and individuals - passed the NYS Assembly on the last day of session. It would add ~$570M per year to drug costs
