This is untrue. Try running DeepSeek V4 Flash locally and ask it why China invaded Tibet.

He famously wrote a book with that title, but he actually wrote a book titled On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

I’m not the original poster, but I think they are saying if we are more skeptical about what we read, we are less likely to absorb propaganda as fact.

By default it will automatically retry many tool calls that fail due to the sandbox with the sandbox disabled. In other words it can and will leave the sandbox.

For example:

Bash(swift build 2>&1 | tail -20)

  ⎿  warning:

/Users/enduser/Library/org.swift.swiftpm/configuration is not accessible or not writable, disabling user-level cache features.

     warning: /Users/enduser/Library/org.swift.swiftpm/security is not accessible or not writable, disabling user-level cache feat

     … +26 lines (ctrl+o to expand)

Build hit sandbox restriction. Retrying outside sandbox.

Bash(swift build 2>&1 | tail -20)

  ⎿  [35/52] Compiling MCP Resources.swift

     [36/52] Emitting module MCP

     [37/52] Compiling MCP Client.swift

New comment by enduser in "AI made coding more enjoyable"

enduser — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:30:35 +0000

I've worked as both an IC and EM over the course of 25 years. The best part of being an IC is crafting solutions to single-human-sized problems—without needing to deal much with people. The best part of being an EM is directing the creation of larger solutions, sometimes vastly larger solutions, at the cost of dealing with people stuff.

AI takes the craft out of being an IC. IMO less enjoyable.

AI takes the human management out of being an EM. IMO way more enjoyable.

Now I can direct large-scope endeavors and 100% of my time is spent on product vision and making executive decisions. No sob stories. No performance reviews. Just pure creative execution.

The way I have managed junior engineers is 90% via PR and testing, 10% via reading code in an editor or IDE.

It’s hard to let go of being the keyboard jockey, but in so many cases it is better to describe plans and acceptance criteria and just review the diffs.

I bought a new camera recently for a trip to Bhutan. I ended up getting a Nikon Zf which is great for shooting in full manual mode. There are some exceptional third party manual focus lenses.

It’s all very tactile and gets me out into the world. I really treasure the photos from it in a way I never did with smartphone photos. It’s also really nice to just leave the phone at home.

Sometimes I go for photo walks with a friend. We play with light and composition and just generally have a great time being present and creative.

So far AFAIK this claim isn’t repeated by any reputable publishers. E.g. Associated Press and LA Times both published 2.5 hours after PEOPLE and did not make this claim.

This is a very insightful take. People forget that there is competition between corporations and nations that drives an arms race. The humans at risk of job displacement are the ones who lack the skill and experience to oversee the robots. But if one company/nation has a workforce that is effectively 1000x, then the next company/nation needs to compete. The companies/countries that retire their humans and try to automate everything will be out-competed by companies/countries that use humans and robots together to maximum effect.

fwiw Particle News is paying publishers to run their full text content in the Particle app and this is just a staff pick. unfortunate that it gave the opposite impression of being an ad

We have a homepage redesign coming in the next month that should make the experience significantly better. For a long time the web site was just a stopgap—glad to finally be giving it some love. Stay tuned!

The backend system that drives the app has many potential B2B applications that we expect to support keeping a totally free or freemium model for the app.

Not yet. We want to make sure we are complying with the laws in every country where we operate and that is non-trivial.

Yesterday we added India, Canada, and UK. More will come soon.

Edit: Marcel is adding Australian news sources this morning and we are looking into launching
