foo=[baz, bar,]

returns a nice list of two items, but if you edit this down and miss the comma,

foo=bar,

is not a scalar.

returning a tuple.

So the trailing comma thing is a thing.

yeah, why Guido got away with the "we don't need deliminators, white space is just fine" for so long has always baffled me.

Because somehow a special character that marks the start and end of a block is hard for people to understand??

> We removed over 80% of Claude Code’s system prompt for models like Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 with no measurable loss on our coding evaluations.

And no report of how it impacted earlier models. Was it just BS all along?

80% of the prompt was wasted tokens.

Because # of agents is the only metric that matters.

So yes, VERY high probability of service.

And it raises the heat outside of buildings. Not so good for people who have to be outside, think first responders etc.

"just turn on the AC and keep burning the world down" isn't really the answer.

Does that justify the price?

Spacex price/sales: 100x-130x

RTX Corporation's (formerly Raytheon Technologies) Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio currently hovers around 2.74 to 2.76. Boeing price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 1.86, Lockheed Martin's (LMT) trailing twelve-month (TTM) price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 1.64. Northrop Grumman's current Trailing Twelve Month (TTM) price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at approximately 1.76 to 1.89

So based on the peer comps you provided, SpaceX is overvalued by 50-100x. Your $185 shares are worth about $2.

Fine if you want to take that bet. Not fine if you force (via indexing) the majority of US pension savings to take that bet.

Long-term payoffs that increase the value of all participants in society, such as education, healthcare, infrastructure (roads including public transportation, water, electricity, ...), are demonstrably better served by government than by business.

> definition of 'perfect competition' perfect competition, in which there are large numbers of identical suppliers and demanders of the same product, buyer and sellers can find one another at no cost, and no barriers prevent new suppliers from entering the market.

And that perfect competition provides the price signals that allow the market to be more competitive.

The less that holds true, the less efficient the market is going to be.

What is the price signal on education?

What is the price signal on public infrastructure?

What is the price signal on rule of law and the ability to enforce contracts?

When I'm listening to music, the music helps form my sense of time. It is deeply jarring to have the music pause for a few minutes and then start as though in 'music-land' no time had passed.

I'd be happier if the music volume went to zero but the song/track kept progressing.

I wonder if EU law could give every citizen a right to a google or Apple account, including a forced recovery option if the account is 'deactivated'?

If at some point such an account becomes essential to function in society, access to such an account becomes a legal mandate.

It might if the subscribers realize/admit that things are failing because they were wrong from the beginning. But that doesn't seem to be how things work.

tow a trailer where? see above.

Pick up a load of dirt or lumber-- how did those materials get to the pick-up point?

And the road you are driving on, where did it come from?

two of the people on the list did it via online gambling. Which is by definition a zero-sum game. No value was created.
