People trash LLM code as if most consumer software isn't buggy piles of half assed code.

I don't understand US medical schools in the least. My son is interested in medicine, and I have sat through presentations where the admissions officers describe how they pick the student that has the best sob story from dozens of overqualified candidates. Then the poor jerk that is selected will work 20hr days out of med school in residency and finally patients will wait weeks to months to see them because there are not enough physicians (or they will see someone with a foreign degree). How does any of that make sense? Why not admit a couple more kids, stop causing overtired residents to make mistakes and address the shortage?

Unfortunately, the AMA is a cartel of doctors that lobbies to put limits on government-funded residency slots to keep salaries high. [1]

Nit: share price was not $0.37, there's been a couple stock splits since.

In case anyone is curious, AAPL has split a combined 56-to-1 since 2003.

> apparently I'm rate-limited on GitHub (???) and therefore can't see the spec.

Are you also on Firefox? I've been getting those 429s a lot over the past week or so. I haven't changed my configuration other than I'm religious about the "check for updates" button, but I cannot imagine a world in which my release-branch browser is a novelty. No proxies, yes I run UBO but it is disabled for GH

I got some using Orion on iOS yesterday. Same engine as every other iOS browser, so I guess it's sending a user agent GH doesn't like?

Indeed. There are dozens of other moments through the past ten years of Trumpism that the supposed guardrails were to prevent and did not, and in the wake of each one the custodians of those guardrails shrugged and went "oh well... I guess that's Trump."

Emoluments, tax returns, the porn star, lying under oath, J6, "fake news", losers and suckers, bone spurs, snubbing Carter, crowd size bullshit, grab em by the pussy, obvious nepotism, lock her up, separating families at the border, "very fine people on both sides", "stand back and stand by", sparring with Fauci, now jailing judges, deporting people off street corners, letting Musk gut government agencies, etc etc.

And that's just off the top of my head; I'm such others have catalogued many, many more of these that I'm forgetting, but yeah... good luck to anyone who can look at a list of these things and be like "ah yes but that was all in the comfortable past, surely the guardrails that failed on every one of those previous instances will somehow hold now. Hooray!"

If I rename a function in Cursor, will it modify the name everywhere in the codebase? (I honestly don't know)

Do any IDEs expose their features (like refactoring) as tools the AI can use? Would much prefer that over the LLM trying to figure it out.

Its not just tech bros though, anyone who's made lots of money from business is treated like they're the smartest person in the room by many people. The person who made millions from making a sugary drink and marketed it as something healthy is not necessarily pretty smart and more than likely isn't someone you want in charge of anything.

Quite literally in the case of former Apple CEO John Sculley.

In my experience porting from .NET Framework to .NET Core isn't that difficult per se -- it is the frameworks that we are stuck on that cause the difficulty, namely if you have a large project using ASP.NET pages and EntityFramework classic, which do not have compatible .net core versions really. The .net core replacements are objectively better, but have significant conceptual and API differences that prevent a simple move.

There are some community projects that try to fill this void by porting entityframework classic to .net core for example though.

EF6 works fine on .NET Core. EF Core does not work on .NET Framework.
