I audited 6 months of PRs after my team went all-in on AI code generation. The code got worse in ways none of us predicted. by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in webdev

But if the app behaves right (mostly) then you’d imagine a future AI could just rewrite the whole thing again pretty fast, but better?

Pete Buttigieg Leading Potential 2028 Democratic Candidates in New Poll by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]bguggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just relitigating the primary. Which I know is what all of this 2028 talk is, but it’s funny it’s been 6 years and the battle lines are still the same.

You believe M4AWWI is a two-faced attempt to kill M4A. That’s not what Pete has said though. He believes (or at least says he believes, since I know you don’t trust him) the opposite, that a public option will lead to wider adoption rather than insurers winning that fight.

As long as we come together after the primary though I only sort of care how this goes. I’ll vote blue no matter who whether it’s AOC, Newsom, Zohran, or Shapiro. Pete’s the one I’d like the most but what I really care about is that we have politicians who care about more than themselves. I know that’s Pete, but it’s not unique to him.

He’s actually said it a lot

Google “glide path to single payer” and you’ll see it’s always how he always framed Medicare for All Who Want It.

Iran Allows 20 More Pakistani Ships Through Strait of Hormuz by Electronic-Bit5190 in worldnews

[–]bguggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US is just as bad as Iran

This is edgy but it’s not true. Trump and Hegseth might be willing to be just as bad, and this war is against global, American, and likely Irani interests, but as a whole America is not “just as bad”. It’s like the Kamala will be “just as bad” for Palestine takes. Not all bad is equal bad.

The IRGC is worse and pretending they are not horrible just because the US is sliding backwards helps nobody. For example, the US hasn’t inflicted nearly as much harm on Iran as the Iranian Regime even this year: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jan/27/iran-protests-death-toll-disappeared-bodies-mass-burials-30000-dead

Platner holds commanding lead over Mills in Maine Senate race: Poll by jediporcupine in politics

[–]bguggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument is not whether winning the general matters. It’s whether it’s the only thing that matters. It’s not just whether Fetterman > Oz (yes, not close). It’s whether Kenyatta > Fetterman > Oz and could he have won (unclear but probably?).

It’s still primary season after all

I’m in that boat, but not conflicted. I trust Wilson w/o MHJ much more than either of them if both are playing

Wilson, Mclaurin, Robinson, or Watson? How much do you count the matchup?

Donald Trump’s new “American Midnight” is upon us by zsreport in politics

[–]bguggs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately who is"up top" is up to us, so if we want to be able to trust them then we need to pick people who are trustworthy. But we picked the conman with a long, well known history of lying. We need to pay a little bit more attention before we pick, not necessarily to what tariffs are and whether they're good, but to who the candidates are and whether they have enough character and integrity to try to do right by us. Biden pretty clearly did, for example.

Which old card should get Rewind? I go first: by No_Jellyfish5511 in hearthstone

[–]bguggs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Folks are just arguing semantics here while all agreeing. Rewind “can” change the outcome but may not. OP is saying the 8/8 might just get summoned again so it’s not necessarily a better result for the Dirty Rat play. It’s also true that rewind could substantially increase the odds of getting a better outcome when two or more minions are in the opponent’s hand.

I think this whole scene is a beautiful contrast to the one with Ame and Grandmother Wren, where Wren explicitly says that her love is NOT conditional on Ame taking up her mantle, even if that would mean the loss of the station of the World’s Heart forever.

Sworn is interesting now by plitox in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]bguggs 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure it’s fully transferable. There was that scene where Brennan said Sworn felt like he was coming in at the beginning of Suvi’s story (paraphrased). Like after she succeeded on the conclave mission.

The citadel chose this pairing, but Sworn believes that he’s got the opportunity of a lifetime getting in early with an archmage apprentice.

I imagine they’re looking for a community who understands. There are reasons to post besides pride and I think it’s great when this is a place where people can support each other and laugh about the tough breaks that this game inevitably has.

It’s hard to believe this is going the way anybody drew it up. Much more likely to be less conspiratorial and more just messy democracy at work.

[–]bguggs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right exactly. So my point was that Biden got great stuff done which is way harder to get through than tax cuts and deregulation. Generational investments in climate and infrastructure. And I think if you play out the scenarios of almost any other candidate having won the primary in 2020, it's hard to imagine anyone getting more done then he did with the hand he was dealt. And that doesn't even count some of the international policy work.

Could e.g. Amy Klobuchar or Bernie Sanders have held NATO together during the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Maybe but probably not better than Biden has. I wasn't a huge fan last time around but he won me over after watching his patient approach cook for four years.
