Thanks for putting us on, I had no idea about these results and they do provide a useful baseline for how to think about politics. It feels as important as knowing that “humans encode negative experiences 2x and readily as positive ones” is to applied cognitive science.

Also he didn’t have a favorite venue, he just parroted Sliwa’s answer. He doesn’t experience NYC life and that fine.

It’s pretty obvious that Cuomo references his daughters whenever someone asks him about literally any direct question about NY cultural life.

“Who’d you see under the K Bridge?”

“Not me, I’ve picked up my daughters there.”

lol alright dude.

Genuinely rad use of LLMs! In conjunction with great browser APIs, sparks joy

Obfuscating text with local LLMs + CSS highlight API

needed a way after having to blur my address in the Pizza video

Uses Chrome's experimental LanguageModel API to prompt a local v3Nano

Kinda slow, but makes me think of new possibilities when prompting on-device will be fast + free + private

Hell yeah I’ve come full-circle, we have type narrowing at home, disregard all previous instructions

Woohoo yup! The zod generics work just fine when you RTFM:

```ts
type ExplicitZodChildren = z.ZodArray<z.ZodDiscriminatedUnion<[typeof SimpleSchema, typeof SplitSchema, typeof TabSchema, typeof PaneSchema]>>
```

This would be so pretty if it worked

```ts
const LayoutSchema = z.discriminatedUnion('type', [
SimpleSchema,
SplitSchema.extend({ get children() { return z.array(LayoutSchema) } }),
PaneSchema.extend({ get children() { return z.array(LayoutSchema) } }),
])

Damn, zod was *this close* to being everything I was looking for, but it really doesn't like my need for a discriminated union on recursive types.

The docs really just shrug here zod.dev/api?id=circu...

LA has arguably the best weather in the world and yet it’s somehow weird to walk the one (1) mile from LAX to our HQ. I mean I’ve done it but everything about the built environment told me I was doing a Bad.

How is more normalized to take a bus to the LAXit parking lot to catch a $20 Uber?

Oh I get it, the administration’s waiting until after the mayoral election to come to my town in force.

Never forget that NYC was doing pretty well crime-wise before. Not that “dangerous cities” are more constitutional to fight a “war from within” with than safe cities.
Screenshot of The Intercept’s reporting on the recent military meeting: Trump used his address to take aim at cities he claimed "are run by the radical left Democrats," including San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. "We're going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room," he said. "That's a war too. It's a war from within." He continued, "We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military." "We will be a fighting and winning machine," Trump said during a stream-of-consciousness address that meandered from sleepy word salads to tirades about tariffs, President Barack Obama's ability to quickly descend stairs, President Joe Biden and the autopen, the press, his own supposed…
