Political parties hitching their wagon to "AI good" or "AI bad" aside, I'm actually a huge fan of this sort of anti-law. Legislators have been far too eager to write laws about computers and the Internet and other things they barely understand lately. A law that puts a damper on all that might give them time to focus on things that actually matter to their constituents instead of beating the tired old drum of "we've got to do something about this new tech."

I have had two for 10 years and have no complaints whatsoever
The lack of hardware support for a few modern codecs is a pretty big complaint from me, but nothing else out there is decent :/
Woof, so instead of some standard way to store agent vs human blame (like in Git metadata), this is all only stored on Cursors servers ..

There are three things:
* Your terraform code
* The state terraform holds which is what it thinks your infrastructure state is
* The actual state of your infrastructure
>Why don't cloud providers have a nice way for tools like TF to query the current state of the infra?
What a terraform provider is is code that queries the targeted resources through whatever APIs they provide. I guess you could argue these APIs could be better, faster, or more tuned towards infrastructure management... but gathering state from whatever resources it manages is one of the core things terraform does. I'm not sure what you're asking for.
I want to get rid of this:
> * The state terraform holds which is what it thinks your infrastructure state is
Why does Terraform need that. Why can't it just call `iac.amazonaws.com/query` (or other magical endpoint) and then diff the terraform code against the actual infrastructure? I am willing to understand if the answer is "well 8 different teams work on AWS so we can't get them all to agree on how to dump their infra as JSON," but this feels like a huge (and obvious) developer experience improvement that could be made.

Feel bad for the next guy who wants to sue them but has to settle for workdaycase2 .com
I never liked these "trust me bro we're court authorized, give us all your PII to join the class action" setups on random domains. Makes phishing seem inevitable. Why can't we have a .gov that hosts all these as subdomains?

The most confusing part of terraform for me is that terraform's view of the infrastructure is a singleton config file that is often stored in that very infrastructure. And then you have to share that somehow with your team and be very careful that no one gets it out of sync.
Why don't cloud providers have a nice way for tools like TF to query the current state of the infra? Maybe they do and I'm doing IaC wrong?

Like it or not, this whole VC funded ivory tower where you can insulate yourself from the reality of what's happening outside depends on the civil stability of this country. You can choose to ignore it at your own peril.

Consider that there is a large contingent of hackers on this forum who actually care about this stuff (the future of democracy), and are desperately upvoting it for visibility despite it continuously being flagged off by people who'd rather be talking about the latest in B2B AI or something..

The British army only has maybe 20,000 actual soldiers. You could manufacture enough robots to kill them all in a week. Then you’d just have a whole country.
It’ll completely change the game. There’s no point selling it to a state for their army, when you could just instantly make yourself the owner of the state.
Don't worry, we're safe. It's already been done and it did not win: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/14dv530/the_homele...
