Can't do it. I'm refactoring on a large code base. I eventually had to tell it to work on just one task and ignore other concerns it had to prevent it from investigating until it got stuck in a cycle of investigation.

Understood, and yeah single tasking seems like a good workaround given the situation. Or switching to an LLM with a larger context window, if possible/practical. I was able to get about 7X more context window "runway" using the AST approach, but it's a relatively small code base to begin with.

How to lie well.... make 1/4th of the lie have a statement of fact.
peppering your statements with truths is how you get people to think "oh... well maybe they are right".
It's not that hard to validate this, just google it. (No, life experience...)

Like saying people were to blame for the reflecting pool fuck up. Sure that was true, just not any of the people Trump or the justice department blamed, it was the installers and morons who managed the project. Yah we get it, thanks for the lying pro-tips.

Sounds like you're running up against the context window of whatever LLM you're using. Try converting your code to a minified abstract syntax tree first and pass that to your LLM, and ask it what full text it needs in addition to that. It should stay within the context window much better that way.

We were all waiting for federal cases to be built, or some disclosures. When it became clear that simply wasn't going to happen, one year into Trump's term the Republican controlled House and Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025.

I don't know what Biden's DOJ was doing, but Congress figured out what Trump's definitely wasn't doing after more than enough time had passed. Republicans controlled the house for the 118th Congress, Biden's last two years. Try asking your congress critters why they thought 2025 was the right time to get involved.

That's a pretty shallow(thought admittedly depressingly popular) analysis of the situation.

Being in public does leave you with no particular defensible expectations of not being observed, and possibly even remembered for a time, by assorted passers by; and typically also permits more direct tailing of people for observation purposes(subject to some, often slightly vague, threshold at which having PIs or paparazzi hunting someone remains a problem even in public; as we saw here where the police took the notion seriously enough to show up but not to do anything in particular).

What it has historically never meant, for technical reasons, was pervasive coverage and longterm retention. Which is certainly increasingly feasible with only moderate levels of investment; but is absolutely a novel development for what 'public' and 'no expectation of privacy' meant.

It's like defending the installation of a massive network of sprinklers because "you have no expectation of staying dry when you go outside; haven't you heard of rain?" Sure, nobody the weather to be sunny all the time, any more than they expect everyone to avert their eyes in public; but they would correctly consider the installation of irrigation equipment on every lamppost to be an intrusion on their ability to stay dry despite the fact that the sky has never extended them a constitutionally protected right to no rain.

Does Fox "News" give equal time?

They don't have a broadcast license since they are only on cable or streaming. So this threat doesn't apply to them.

But, to answer your question, no, they never even tried to give equal time. And they never tried to present facts, either, but that's a different discussion.

Fox "News" can mean many things, but this sure is broadcast. The actual answer though as a news segment, no, those are exempt.

Actually, they have. Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders have appeared on multiple Fox shows. So too have the Democratic governors Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, Wes Moore and Gretchen Whitmer, and senators Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, John Fetterman and Chris Coons also dropped in on the network. (Although some may consider Fetterman 'barely' a Democrat these days.)

Well for one thing, the question was Fox News, and they'd likely be exempt as bonafide news right? If we're bringing the rest of Fox (we mean broadcast right?) into this, having had people on is not AT ALL the same as fulfilling equal time requirements. Jimmy Kimmel has had people on, Trump himself, Ted Cruz, etc. it doesn't mean anything.

The question is really if Judge Judy (national program carried by Fox broadcast affiliates) had a special with Ken Paxton, guest judge, on trial, jury, makes no diff, does the station have to give equal time to James Talarico.

TMZ Live, if they have Talrico on, does the Fox affiliate have to give Paxton time?

Or, does the 700 Club, that syndicated weird religious fake news program, if they interview Paxton, is the station required to give equal time to Talrico?

Dr Phil Primetime: One on One with Donald Trump aired in 2024 in several broadcast markets, did they have to give Biden/Harris equal time.

That's a good spread of entertainment through the faux seriousness spectrum. The only answer to any of these now is we'd have to find out because shits different. Some of those are not actually hypotheticals, we used to know the answer from past precedent, some we wouldn't know unless the candidates cared to ask. We definitely know the FCC didn't go bulldogging their party's opposition. Can national programs be broadcast safely with political candidates in them, and does the answer depend on which team they play for.

Well, it kinda sounds more like someone running a spaceflight company who doesn't already have billions on hand to build it with, like Musk did. Though I can't find how much she's actually worth. Odd, that.

Whole lot of stuff you wrapped up in "spaceflight" there. There is no commercial demand today for station resupply, orbital logistics, lunar landers, crewed vehicles or launch, or for any kind of super heavy or deep space launches. Not even looking at the government launch infrastructure SpaceX needed in its earliest stages. Government contracts are paying for all of that, including the development, in order to create a commercial market. Musk's money didn't build all that, and it's a bit stupid to think private money ever would, because again, there is no commercial market demand, there are government contracts driving all of it.

If European countries want to stay competitive with .. whatever the hell all this is, capitalism in space ... they will also need to publicly fund commercial space development. It's just fucking asinine to think Musk or anybody would step up in a vacuum to pay billions of their own dollars and the kindness of their hearts to build some romanticized "spaceflight" fantasy. He's taking government money, investor money, and the general public now via his 90x overpriced IPO, and he's promising to write you a check from Mars. He's already getting paid, morons, it's the oldest scam in the books. I know where to find $scarybignumber dollars, just give me %10 of those dollars and I'll go get it for you. PS, it's on a other planet.

LOL. More like: suck on the teat of "European fund of fuck Elon Musk" dept. (and incidentally, enrich myself in the process dept too).

That's how capitalism works, do you have a problem with that, or how the commercial launch market is bootstrapped by the government? *shocker* it sucks off the government teat here too, and wouldn't exist without directed efforts to establish commercial space. The whole point of capitalism is competition driving efficiency, so again, what is your problem.

space nerd and visionary like Elon

He bought his way into the club just like any other entrepreneur can, and your true space nerd visionary measuring stick is bullshit. Throws his money at data centers and now he's an AGI nerd and visionary machine intelligence philosopher too right. Just sweep all his lying bullshit about the state of self driving over the years under the rug, right where you swept his straight to Mars bullshit. Fuck off with that dumbassery.

I mean, LOL, just check this quote out: "The fundraise we have done right now is not sufficient to build the massive rocket we have in mind, so there will be another fundraise," she said. "Right now, we're going to be very, very focused on the execution. We must dock with the space station, with the capsule, as fast as possible. We must build this rocket engine and de-risk it as fast as possible. I think once one of these two milestones is achieved, we'll be talking fundraise again."

Please tell me that doesn't sound like something Trump would have said, except with copious amount of "fundraise" sprinkled in the middle :DDDDDD

Which part, asking for funding vs telling you other people will pay for it? Measurable objectives? De-risk, admitting risk at all? "Execution" has too many syllables, you know he can't say that.

But oh well, the "fuck Elon Musk" fund is funded by the taxpayer anyway, so who cares? Let's talk more about the "massive rocket" Yurup is gonna have soon, I pinky promise :DDDDDDDD

Bud, all commercial space is taxpayer funded, there was no other way to get it off the ground. Space tourism can't pay for things like heavy lift, deep space exploration. Who do you think is paying for crewed launch capabilities? Ain't tourists. Who's paying for deep space transport, not mars colonists. Who's paying for lunar research, sir as fuck not moon rock prospectors. There's no damned market for any of that without government programs.

Your whole post shows a deep misunderstanding of how capitalism works and the government's role in building markets.

The examples comparing prices are all comparing them to battery-backed systems that can continuously produce the rated power. The solar panels or wind turbines will be capable of far higher peak power that is used to charge the batteries. I have no idea whether any numbers being quoted here are accurate, but the posters are absolutely describing "base power" when quoting their prices.
