No need. There are already plenty of them that track the S&P — which notably decided NOT to change its rules.

Feel like many of these articles were either prewritten, lazy, or have intentionally omitted the non-impact that S&P opting to not change its rules has had, just so the headline and lede could be as sensational as possible.

It’s frustrating to see the top commenters all trying to provide original takes, while only demonstrating they did not read the article which already makes *the exact same points!*

Seriously, it’s a good article. Read it. And yes, it explicitly discusses ICE.

Had similar concerns, but just noticed they seem to be taking this more seriously now: https://zed.dev/blog/secure-by-default

> where you explicitly tell the visa officers you're on US soil ONLY for study purposes

What in the world does “ONLY for study purposes” mean? 24 hours a day, every day of the week?

> participate in a protest against the very country that granted you the study visa and then get mad that you are under investigation and would have been kicked out for violating the said visa? That's so bizarre.

First, he briefly attended the protest. Not the same as participating. I doubt the data from Google indicated he was holding a sign, shouting slogans, or speaking on stage. And it doesn’t sound like there was any marching or sit-in involved. (And if so, for 5 minutes?)

Second, why are you willfully equating a pro-Palestinian protest with being an anti-US protesT? Was the purpose of the protest to raise charitable funds, encourage more open discussion about the war on campus, provide moral support to Palestinian classmates, and/or any of a myriad of other purposes?

Finally, even if the purpose of the protest was politically motivated —- to push US policy on Israel and Palestine to change, how is that bizarre? In your mind is any protest that seeks to change a government’s policy at that moment an assault on that government, or on that nation? Someone who protests the death penalty, protests for stronger/weaker abortion laws, stronger/weaker gun laws, etc?

This is the USA we’re talking about. Despite all our faults (and they are legion), it is the bedrock of our founding and our core principles that democracy is a participatory process. Not just on Election Day. Throughout history we have advanced as a people and a nation because individuals have stepped up and spoken up. That has always been what has pushed us forward.

Bizarre indeed.

No, just related. That was about Hegseth carrying through with his threat. This is about Anthropic making it clear they will fight this in court.

This isn’t parallel at all, and I didn’t realize that Anthropic was the member of any particular party.

You know the only reason we used double spaces between sentences in the typewriter days was because everything was monospaced, right? Modern variable width fonts provide additional space automatically.

How do Google and Apple plan to deal with the immense influx of personal apps that AI will help non developers build?

Recently, I was thinking that AI might force Apple to open their devices, because if Apple’s competitor allows sideloading, then the creatives and builders most likely to build their own apps will migrate to the platform providing less friction to getting custom apps onto their device. But apparently THIS is the time that Google has chosen to start locking down their devices as well?!

You’re confused. If you know of ANY US state that has a flow of traffic law that allows cars to exceed the speed limit so long as they are keeping up with other traffic, I’d love to see a link to their traffic codes. Speeding doesn’t suddenly become legal because two or more drivers do it together.

This has nothing to do with the expectation that slower traffic stay in the rightmost lanes, which is what GP is addressing.

And where do you think AIs learned to use em dashes? Anyone who knows a modicum of typography uses em dashes. There’s a reason devices like iOS automatically convert double hyphens to em dashes (or straight quotes to curly quotes).

Only young people who grew up texting and eliding standard punctuation find em dashes unfamiliar.

> Four years ago, if you had told someone that a LLM would be able to one-shot either of those first two tasks they would've said you're crazy.

Four years ago, they would have likely asked what in the world is an LLM? ChatGPT is barely 3 years old.
