It's not ideal that "conservative" has come to mean "believes in stupid contrarian science views," but here we are. While he may have other liberal views, it's understandable why someone would think there actually is "any way" he could be seen as a conservative.

It's also not ideal that "stupid contrarian science views" means wanting adequate testing of new gene therapy products.

He wasn't sentenced for burning a flag, he was sentenced for destroying stolen property. The first amendment doesn't enter into it. If he brought his own flag and burned that, there wouldn't have been a legal issue with it.

Five months for stealing a flag? There's another part of the constitution which says the punishment must fit the crime. We don't care about this part though, do we?

Edit: since I'm "posting too fast"

It's a $20 flag, and we paid for his rent and meals for five months over it. He could have simply been court ordered to replace their flag, but instead we spent a mountain of tax money feeding and housing him. He won. And the 1A lost at the same time.

Buy Xperia 10 III while you still can. It's the best SailfishOS phone at the moment.

I have an Xperia 10 III, but it's running AOSP I built myself.

Basically none of this new restriction will bother me, since I don't run anything but stock AOSP and get all my apps from f-droid repos.

I completely agree.

On a side note.. ya’ll must be prompt wizards if you can actually use the LLM code.

I use it for debugging sometimes to get an idea, or a quick sketch up of an UI.

As for actual code.. the code it writes is a huge mess of spaghetti code, overly verbose, with serious performance and security risks, and complete misunderstanding of pretty much every design pattern I give it..

I think it has a lot to do with skill level. Lower skilled developers seem to feel it gives them a lot of benefit. Higher skilled developers just get frustrated looking at all the errors in produces.

But what i am saying is like what if i showed the director that i can do the work that a team has taken months/years to do. And is still failing to do. Seems like best way to proceed is just put my head down which sucks and makes me want to leave

You're working where they want cogs, interchangable cogs. They don't want you to build something special and be the only one who knows how it works. You could leave, and then they are screwed trying to support the thing you wrote. It sounds like you've already done some of this by your own description. You're not a senior, and you're busy trying to prove you are senior material, right? But if you really want to be senior, you need to do dull things that you are skipping. Documenting, collaborating, keeping everyone in the loop, sharing all the information you have as best you can.

Want to really be a senior? Think this way: Everything I build as a senior developer is an attempt to make myself obsolete. I should be able to give a two weeks notice and walk away with no harm to the company. When I build things at work, I never worry about job security, not even a little. If there is something I built that they can't support without me, I've failed.

And you will ultimately know you failed when you can't even go on vacation without carrying the company laptop with you. I know you're proud of that thing you built and how you're the only one who knows how it all works, but that's the core problem.

Brave isn't data mining you for your benefit, they're doing it for their benefit.

Likewise, I'm not teaching their AI where to find GINI coefficients for their benefit, but for mine. I'd like for their AI to learn something, if only to make my experience better. But there's no learning happening.
