Neat, what was the total token count and cost?

I’m on the Claude Max 5x plan. It was within that limit.

I actually can’t figure out how to see even the full chat log, it autocompacted during the night (presumably many times) and I can't seem to see past the most recent compaction.

> Trademark admittedly does not fit this view, but doesn't seem all that damaging either

Isn’t trademark the only thing keeping a certain cartoon mouse out of the public domain, despite the fact that his earliest animations are out of copyright? Not sure if you’d consider that damaging, or if anyone has yet tested the boundaries of the House of Mouse’s patience here.

Bernstein v US says you’re right but let’s see if it gets there and hope they get legal reasoning right. One can hope the EFF and others are on this. Anyone know about any current challenges?

Secret FISA court decisions are also law, the public just can’t see or challenge them. So we really have no idea what is considered lawful.

If the contract says “all lawful use” it’s a blank check to the state.

per other Snowden comments, “all lawful use” means whatever we want it to mean.

Secret FISA court decisions will say the use is lawful, but you’ll never get to read or challenge those decisions.

I love these illustrations! It’s always hard for me not to automatically conjure pictures from the Ralph Bakshi animated film when I think about The Hobbit, these give me another very cool perspective.

There is certainly a cultural component. A very good book named Albion’s Seed traces the waves of early American immigration. The North was mostly settled by dissidents pre-ECW. The South was mostly divided up into estates and settled by post-ECW lords that mirrored the social structure and power dynamics they liked.

hey don’t forget, that shitty ORM also empowers you to write beautiful, fluent code that, under the hood, generates a 12-way join that brings down your entire database.

America is not NYC. NYC is proud of its police-state apparatus. Most of the rest of the country is very different.

I know, I've been to many places, and met lots of fantastic, friendly people. But the attitude towards police - the dead seriousness of any and all interactions - no wrong moves, or else - is frankly frightening.

NYC police seem insane lmao. For some reason various precinct accounts have made it into my social media feed, and the last time I saw the they were bragging about stealing some old ladies less lethal defense weapon.
