Plenty of people above are explaining why that wouldn't work. Basically 100x idiots don't always add up to one mediocre <noun>.

Sonnet 5.5 refused to implement code using selenium/firefox to scrape a webpage on my laptop after we got a 403 from a cloud-based IP. I made that clanker generate datasets for the rest of the week to use up my weekly usage that would have been wasted.

> they accuse our senators of having been financed by Americans.

Oh no, they pointed out things that are happening: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/30/trump-state-...


Nothing new under the sun. Their side was financed by USAID too. If they're going to hang people for that, they need to do it to both parties and themselves.

So you first argued that the courts were using false charges of foreign influence as a political weapon. Now you say that the charges are correct?

Selective enforcement is a pretty good political weapon

> So you first argued that the courts were using false charges of foreign influence

Nowhere did I say the charges were false.

> as a political weapon

It is a political weapon.

Seven minutes after losing the presidential election, an order to seize Flávio Bolsonaro's passports was signed by supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes. He's being investigated for several things, including illegally receiving money from banker Daniel Vorcaro as funding for a film about his father, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro. The order caused him to flee the country and seek political asylum in the USA.

The judge himself has dealings with Daniel Vorcaro: he messaged the judge on WhatsApp and asked whether he should leave the country in order to escape arrest. The judge's wife received millions of dollars from the banker as well.

It's all so brazen and transparent that I come off as unhinged when I try to explain it. Reality is unrealistic.


Bolsonaro did flee to avoid prosecution for his crimes, so seizing his passport was evidently the right thing to try.

Don't feed the trolls, please.

Just wanted to make sure nobody got the impression that they weren't making things up!

Running the court system?


I wouldn't rule it out.

> In many parts of the country, the judge...isn't required to be a lawyer, have any formal legal education or hold any law degree. (https://www.ncsl.org/resources/map-monday-judge-wanted-no-de...)


For the record, Brazilian judges are selected via concurso público.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_service_entrance_examina...

Legal education is required. Lawyers compete with each other for the judge spot by studying and scoring as high as possible on the test. It's the dream job of the legal profession.


To add a bit, the test is so tough that lawyers don't really compete against each other. From all the lawyers in the country wanting to have that position (that is the dream job), not enough of them get the minimum score to fill all positions.

This is also true in many, many countries to some degree or another. The US has no legal education requirements for elected judges and even many appointed ones. Many European countries allow lay people to act as magistrates or judges in low courts and working alongside legally educated judges in higher courts.

Hell, the whole concept of a jury trial is that the most critical function of a court is reserved for people with no legal education.


It's all about consent, isn't it, we don't consent to advertising in every public space and yet we can't get away from it.

Could you explain for those of us who are a bit slower? Why would the absence of a rich sugar daddy for python be evidence that it can't be done?

I can say specific to AI: I have been seeing friends and colleagues do really impressive things with code surpassing what's available in the market and open source in the past few months. The vast majority of them are _not_ releasing their code, for a variety of reasons:

- Their output is hyper-customized/optimized for their personal use case, constraints and quirks

- They have zero interest in being an open source contributor and maintainer. Usually because it's a lot of additional work, sometimes for personal safety reasons (harassment targets etc.) In a workplace it can also mean dealing with an extremely tedious legal process with months of uncertainty.

- They figure anyone who wants something similar can just make it themselves instead of using theirs. If I spent between fifteen minutes and two days to make some software, in 3-6 months someone with fewer skills will probably make it in 5 minutes to a few hours using a more powerful model.

- They may not have full rights to redistribute their source code.

Basically most people - individuals and corporations alike - aren't actually interested in donating to open source and in many cases have anti-incentives to do so.


Hi, Could you say a few words what makes this board tricky? I've wanted to get one for a similar reason as the OP, although I'm thinking a scheme-like VM with GUI.

There were dozens of pretty complex challenges, too many to describe here. So just a few examples. First of all, I'm fully bare-metal, with no ESP-IDF (though I use it for studying). A major annoyance is the USB-JTAG flapping which is the same on both board copies and different hosts; so debugging is even more difficult; partly worked around by logging via additional TTL UART connection. It's worse right after power-on and after EN pulses, then stabilizes for ~tens of minutes; could be thermal/supply settling, or simply the burst of re-enumerations any reset causes. Then the LT8912B I2C is shared with HDMI DDC; a lot of time went to find the right drive strength so the LT inits with the cable is in. Also a couple of rev v1.0 silicon issues, e.g two-step cache writeback, dead GPSPI clock, etc. For the display, the Olimex demo was very helpful; dumping all DSI/bridge/GDMA/clock registers over JTAG became an important debugging tool. Now the SD card and display work more or less. Right now, I'm really struggling with the USB keyboard, which is a low-speed device behind the onboard FE1.1s hub; both ways of reaching it fail identically with a bare chhltd and no cause bit.

Thanks! I too am going baremetal, as I prefer 5 second builds to 45 minutes - but yes the board sounds like a bit of a pain...

And that was only the summary of a selection ;-)

I'm using my OP2 Oberon compiler version and also my Micron compiler, and both indeed just need a few seconds for the build of the whole Oberon or Micron System 3 and only a few megabytes of source code. Version 6 of IDF didn't even work on my host.


Claude managed to get idf v6 to work in a docker container, but I've ripped that out now. would you say that most of the issues you had with the p4 was the board, rather than the underlying cpu? the one I have in mind is more this sort of thing: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009278783008.html (as opposed to a SBC like the rpi).

> would you say that most of the issues you had with the p4 was the board

Both. The USB-JTAG flapping is probably a board issue, as is the HDMI integration; and they use the 1.0 version of the P4 which also has its issues. Your link doesn't work from my location, and I don't have experience with other P4 versions so far.



React has no dependencies: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react?activeTab=dependencies https://github.com/react/react/blob/main/package.json

If you read the first comment on your link, you'd see why you're wrong:

> That's not _React_, that's `create-react-app`


I'm closing this down as duplicate and pointless.

This is not idiocracy. It's the prequel. In idiocracy, they understood that they were dumb and put the smart guy in charge.

for 20 minutes, and then they tried to kill him
