By now, everyone should know that when center-left political parties adopt right-wing policy positions, the right-wing voters they’re trying to appeal to will ignore the milquetoast version and vote for right-wing parties instead.

Reactionaries don’t want a watered-down version of reaction! They want the real deal!

“In contrast to much public debate, we find that more authoritarian/nationalist and more anti-EU positions are if anything associated with lower rather than greater electoral support for social democratic parties.”

tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

Something else that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it should is the fact that left-coded political policies—higher minimum wages, stronger unions, higher taxes on the rich, more robust social safety nets—are actually really popular with the public in places like the US:

So when US Democrats or UK Labour tack right to try to capture vote share from their reactionary opponents, they’re making really, obviously foolish choices.

We’re left to conclude that these parties are either really, catastrophically bad at politics, their entire reason for being, or that their leaders genuinely prefer reactionary policies, want reactionary parties to win, and prefer support by right-wing voters over appealing to the left.

去年差不多這個時候

朋:「你有養寵物嗎?」

我:「腸道裡的益生菌算嗎?」

朋友們都不想理我,甚至不願跟我討論益生菌能不能算寵物,我明明都有餵養他們抗性澱粉跟膳食纖維。

: If someone says they accidentally reported you, it's a scam.

If someone says you need to verify your Mastodon account, it's a scam.

If someone says you need to change the email address on your account, it's a scam.

If someone tries to lure you off-platform to Discord or Telegram, it's a scam.

If someone jumps into your replies or DMs with a mutual aid request, it's a scam.

If someone from mastodon.social sends you an unsolicited DM, it's a scam.

---

Telltale signs of a scam:

- wants you to move off-site
- wants you to change account settings
- wants you to click something
- unsolicited private interactions
- new account
- under ~20 followers and over ~5:1 follow ratio
- sense of urgency
- appeals to your compassion
- piggybacks on a trending post or event

Claude Code가 모델이 하지도 않은 말을 했다고 하는 이유.

자손킴 @jasonkim@hackers.pub

Claude Code는 사용자의 첫 번째 요청을 처리할 때 대화 주제를 파악하고 제목을 생성하기 위해 '프리필(prefill)' 기법을 효과적으로 활용합니다. 이 기법은 API 요청의 마지막 메시지에서 어시스턴트(assistant)가 이미 응답을 시작한 것처럼 `{` 문자를 미리 제공하여, 모델이 자연스럽게 나머지 JSON 구조를 완성하도록 유도하는 방식입니다. 이는 단순히 특정 형식을 요구하는 지시보다 훨씬 강력하게 응답 형식을 강제할 수 있으며, JSON뿐만 아니라 특정 언어의 코드 블록이나 XML 등 다양한 정형 데이터를 생성할 때도 유용합니다. 인위적인 시작점 설정을 통해 모델의 출력을 정교하게 제어하는 이 전략은 안정적인 애플리케이션 개발을 위한 실무적인 프롬프트 엔지니어링(prompt engineering)의 핵심적인 사례를 보여줍니다.

The ego of almost every software developer you follow is intimately compromised on this topic, which is why I overshare what I do about software development and AI. I try to present an obvious contrast where one of us must be off the mark and make you decide. You can’t really take this post I am linking to at face value unless you also think I am a rube, liar, and idiot. Which is fine, but you probably don’t think that.

Just found out that apparently a lemon isn't naturally occurring in nature.
It's a hybrid by crossbreeding a bitter orange and a citron!

Do you know what that means?!
Do you know what implications this has?!!

LIFE NEVER GAVE US LEMONS
WE INVENTED THEM ALL BY OURSELVES
