Looks like (actual) workflows are back in the menu boys
This is f*cking insane. The head of Claude Code at Anthropic:
"90% of our engineers run dozens or hundreds of agents on Fable 5.2
Nobody prompts them one by one. The way you do it is graph engineering"
In 35 minutes, he shows how one engineer at Anthropic now does the work of a whole team, and where it goes next
One Agent → Dozens Of Agents → Graphs → Hundreds Of Agents → Self-Improving System
Worth more than most $1,500 agent engineering courses
Bookmark and watch it today
Then read the graph layer in full: Harness, Loops, Graphs ↓

And because the interests of the students are contrary to the interests of the teachers’ unions, the unions - like _all_ public sector unions, really - must be disbanded with prejudice.
You already have a vote on your salary, and mandate that everyone pay for your services. You don’t get a veto too.
Bill Maher and Coleman Hughes finish each other's sentences for 3 minutes straight as they lay out how teachers' unions wrecked public education.
The MS NOW host thought she could sit this one out quietly. Then Maher turned and lobbed a grenade right at her.
MAHER: "The reason why they don't know that socialism didn't work... is because NOBODY taught them in school."
HUGHES: "A lot of kids go to underperforming public schools, which is our euphemism for government-funded daycare centers with occasional school-like activities."
MAHER: "I knew they weren't learning anything, but like you said, it's like a daycare center and not a good one."
HUGHES: "And I think people on the left want to blame funding because that's the easy issue. But the truth is, this school was well funded. You know, it's 50,000 per pupil at this school. The problem isn't the funding. It's that you can't fire anyone bad."
MAHER: "Yes.... The problem is the union, the teachers union, is too powerful. We've seen it in results in states where the union is less powerful, the schools do better."
HUGHES: "I call it the chalkboard mafia."
MAHER: "The problem, the unions protect bad schools and bad teachers, and the party protects the union. It's almost impossible in a lot of these cities to fire a teacher. I mean literally like you could sell drugs to a kid and it's got to be two offenses before we get—"
HUGHES: "It wasn't that long ago that the unions lobbied for a law in New York State to ban even collecting data that you would use to assess which teachers are better than others. You can't even get the data. So obviously the teachers union serves the teachers, they don't serve the students, and if you're a Democrat or any American that's serious about public school reform, you have to challenge the teachers union, period."
MAHER: "And I think in this school, where they were learning nothing with no supervision and absentee principals and teachers, I think spending 50,000 dollars per year per student, it's not money. That's what you always hear from the left. 'Oh, it's underfunded.' It's not the funding. The funding isn't the issue."
HUGHES: "No, it hasn't been for a very long time."
MAHER: "I think this is the kind of thing I will NEVER hear on MS NOW."
ALI VITALI: "I think you hear a lot of perspectives on MS NOW."
MAHER: "I don't ever hear that one."
CONTEXT: Maher and Hughes aren't making this up. On the latest Nation's Report Card, high school seniors posted the lowest reading and math scores ever recorded on the test.
And getting rid of bad teachers is nearly impossible. Federal survey data shows the average school district dismissed just 0.2 tenured teachers for poor performance in a year. That's roughly 1 in 500.
Meanwhile, students do better long-term in states where unions have less power.
A 2019 study in the American Economic Journal found that boys who went to school in states that forced districts to bargain with teachers' unions went on to earn about $2,100 LESS per year as adults compared to boys in states without those laws.
If a business failed this badly, someone would get fired. As Hughes put it: "The teachers union serves the teachers; they don't serve the students."

So long as the Motte-and-Bailey argumentation about this from the localizers continues the sentiment to replace them all with AI translators will continue too
People who complain about localization must take a Translation course in Linguistics and understand why Literal one-for-one translation is not always the option
- Said by the guy who is majoring English Linguistics

The issue with banning linear algebra is that what you use to produce “linear algebra” is also widely useful for non-“linear algebra” applications, while uranium largely is only useful as a source of “neutrons”. (Or ammunition when all the “neutrons” are gone)
Incidentally, the last time Congress tried to restrict math it did not work out in the long run.
Saying “you can’t ban linear algebra” about AI, is about as dishonest as saying “you can’t ban neutrons” about nuclear weapons

Yes, that’s because it is an outgrowth of Socialism, much like Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, and Maoism were outgrowths of Communism (itself an outgrowth of Socialism). They disagree how to arrange the chairs on the deck of the Titanic, not about “full steam ahead into the iceberg” (in ironic contrast with the actual Titanic that did try to avoid it)
fascism is when you nationalise private companies
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yes. Fascist economics was corporatist, and viewed private businesses as organs of the state. Private enterprise was permitted so long as it followed the directives of the state. They nationalised and privatised on political whims.

It was your guy’s Memorandum of Capitulation and constant sandbagging (and leaks to our enemies!) that made the war last this long. Own it!
The war you enthusiastically supported brought the blue wave that brought that man to the senate.
Own in, bro. You elected the man.
How’s that for a “flex”?

I’ve said this before. The morons making MAGA look bad are in many cases Leftist LARPers. The biggest one being the Dem Piper of Chicago.
Lifelong moderate Democrat here from Oakland County, Michigan. Never voted Republican in my life. But seeing Haley Stevens put country over party in this election against socialist extremism, I feel as if I have no choice but to do the same. I will be voting for Mike Rogers on Tuesday.

Why do Industry X expected future values drop when the “We will regulate your industry out of business” party comes to power? It’s a mystery.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if the market is wildly selling off AI stocks because of the election results then it’s safe to assume the value wasn’t in the product but in the administrations willingness to let Silicon Valley fellate each other on your dime.

Pretending the tariffs and Vance’s sandbagging of the war did not contribute is as much dishonest victim-blaming as any argument that the war did not contribute.
This is offensively wrong. It's one thing to perform a generational wipeout of the party with polically toxic and devastating neocon policies. It's entirely another to lie about it and blame the victims of the neocon stranglehold on the party. STOP THIS. It's undignified.

PC2 is coming; regardless of what the big labs are up to.
Watch Apple and to a lesser extent Microsoft (due to conflicting incentives) in this space
I want to paint you guys, a picture of why I think the datacenter model is bust.
It's the year 2028, an aspiring university student gets a MacBook to study filmmaking.
With his M7 Laptop, he can make AI videos, write shot-lists, compose any image, make entire storyboards all with Local AI.
Anything to do with schoolwork, local LLMs are at the level of Opus 5.5 today.
Is this student going to pay $100 a month for AI?
Local AI and open-source AI is the future, if not next year, then the year after it.
Below is a map, powered entirely by two closed AI companies, 90% of these companies are expecting - 2 trillion dollars in revenue next year.
You tell me how it ends.

Without a profit motive there is little reason to improve efficiency, which is why you have Canada increasingly relying on recommending MAID rather than actually treating the underlying conditions, and countries with “Universal Healthcare” are still full of private coverage.
This indicates to me that under current economic constraints universal healthcare is unviable.
Why are you NOT in favor of universal healthcare, universal childcare, affordable housing? For real, help me understand why it’s not a good thing.

That’s nice, but the mob you have unleashed doesn’t care. And they’ll come after you too once you stop being useful cover for them.
When I say "eat the rich," I don't mean the surgeon with 700K in his bank account who
had sleepless nights and worked hard for it.
I mean the billionaires who earn 10K a minute even while they're asleep.

No, the Dem Piper of Chicago and his wrecker cult are not welcome here
Nick Fuentes sends a message to the GOP
"Over the next two years, I want to help rebuild the party… The Groypers are going to be the young Republicans going forward. Stop firing us, stop alienating us, stop hunting us down… help us help you."
