TISZA winning a super majority possible? (r/Destiny)

• Primary_Cod_3622: It’s looking good we europoors might make it. A supermajority is necessary for tisza to be able to operate normally as the system is so rigged. Also rural votes usually come in first. The rural areas especially fidesz strongholds have had a lower turnout than for example Budapest. Which last I checked had the highest in the country
• i5-2520M: Fucking awesome, looks like a definite supermajority based on what top analysts are saying
• PlentyAny2523: They just passed 133, if it holds they got it

Why do schools give awards for perfect attendance even though kids are constantly getting sick? (r/NoStupidQuestions)

• BrewertonFats: In public schools within the US, funding is directly tied to student attendance. Absent students cost the school money, as they impact the school’s ADA (adverage daily attendance). So of course they’d do everything they can to encourage kids to show up.
• abbot_x: In my kids’ schools “perfect attendance” actually means no unexcused absences. They don’t want kids coming in sick and they don’t want to penalize kids who have to miss school for family or religious reasons.
• jayron32: Many schools have stopped this because it encourages the spread of diseases. I have worked in many schools and haven’t seen this behavior in decades. Which is not to say it doesn’t still happen, but it’s not been the norm where I have worked, at least since the 1990s.

Are manual transmission cars available in every dealership? (r/AskAmericans)

• machagogo: Most car brands don’t even have models that offer them even as an option anymore. Manuals are going the way of the dodo. They are inferior to a modern automatic in every way but “fun to drive” for enthusiest cars.
• FeatherlyFly: Why? If it’s that important to you, just spend the little extra time looking for a model that has what you want. It’s not like walking onto a lot and buying whatever strikes your fancy has ever been a good financial choice.
• freebiscuit2002: No, not at all. Manual transmission cars are rather rare nowadays, and most car manufacturers don’t even make them for the US market. Overwhelmingly, customers prefer automatics.

AI Doom and layoffs? Naah, it’s just like the Industrial Revolution and past technological changes. (r/artificial)

• RavingWook: There’s going to be no work. If wealth isn’t distributed a revolution is inevitable.
• schrodingers_hit: I don’t care how many jobs are created if I’m no longer able to get work because AI does most of it. Those jobs being created are not for me and most people.
• Original_Ad2171: In the Industrial Revolution, the Luddites were at least given a chance to transition, train, or take new jobs. What’s happening now is workers being told AI will “augment” them right up until their job is cut.

Job Market is amazing for AI engineers (r/cscareerquestions)

Vibe coding is ruining programming (Blind)

• newpepsie: Holy shit if the code is only the specific implementation of business logic etc then this is such a bad take.
• anon: Maybe, it still helps if you can explain what the logic is supposed to be in human language and can validate if the output matches.
• NooYht: Blaming code quality deterioration on AI while half the codebase was already spaghetti held together by tribal knowledge and caffeine is wild.

What is the worst band you saw live? (r/AskReddit)

• ihaveredhaironmyhead: Bob Dylan. I fell asleep. I’m not sure but I think he briefly did too.
• Fine-Brilliant-2983: Lauryn Hill😭 She was 2 hours late, sang for 20 minutes, sounded like shit and left. Such a huge letdown. I have loved her FOREVER.
• Segesaurous: Poison, 1992. They had to restart the first song 3 times and were verbally fighting on the mics during the show. It was so, so bad.

Have you ever seen someone get rich overnight, like literally? How? (r/AskReddit)

• PraetorianOfficial: My orthodontist in the 70’s won a Powerball jackpot in 1995 for \$32million. He kept practicing for 4 more years before retiring. He passed away in 2020. Didn’t much seem to change his life at the time.

If money wasn’t an issue, what would you be doing with your life right now ? (r/AskReddit)

• Antique_Hovercraft60: Hiking trails near my house everyday. Clearing fallen trees and brush and picking up trash

TIL the Stone Age encompasses 99% of human history (r/todayilearned)

• RunDNA: I have a mortar & pestle so I’m continuing on the tradition.
• thetruegasolineman: Also worth noting that, in spite of this, a lot more than 1% of all humans to ever live are alive right now (about 8%), let alone the rest of human history.
• SquarePegRoundWorld: I like what Stefan Milo said about The Stone Age. If all the wood they used during the Stone Age didn’t rot away and was left to be discovered like the stone parts, we’d be calling it The Wood Age.

Are kids not allowed to walk to school by themselves nowadays? (r/NoStupidQuestions)

• Uhhyt231: Kids walk to school when they can. I think fewer people live less than a mile from the school

• Prtyvacant: Kids in the city walk to school all the time. Most urban schools have a radius where they won’t even send a Gen Ed bus.

Hungary election: Orbán concedes to Magyar’s Tisza after projections show opposition winning two-thirds majority (r/news)

Oracle’s new CFO got \$26M in stock after layoffs. Employee says an ‘algorithm’ targeted workers with stock options first (r/technology)

• QuantityInfinite8820: Getting laid off just before stock vesting season was a common scam for years. Nothing new.

‘I feel helpless’: college graduates can’t find entry-level roles in shrinking market amid rise of AI (r/technology)

Data from 120k API calls across 2 machines proves Anthropic silently downgraded cache TTL from 1h → 5m on March 6th, this is why your quota usage exploded in March (r/ClaudeCode)

• AllCowsAreBurgers: Amazing how a multi-billion dollar company can fuck up this badly. No tests and no monitoring apparently. Just a bunch of apes yoloing infra with their own coding agents and it shows
• Chinse: This was found back in the leak. Ant employees had 1h cache, everyone else had 5 min
• snow_schwartz: According to the docs “By default, the cache has a 5-minute lifetime” so your investigation sounds good but perhaps not your conclusion. Maybe the 1hr TTL was the bug the whole time.

Finally happened to me and my colleagues. Seeing severely degraded performance. (r/ClaudeCode)

• TJohns88: Yep, it’s been absolutely lobotomized. Opus 4.6 on Max effort and it still can’t follow simple instructions without implementing dangerous bugs. Infuriating. Codex is ~5x better currently
• Deep_Ad1959: the lack of communication is what kills trust, not the degradation itself. every tool has bad weeks.
• SuitableLeather: Yes it is abysmal. I am spending hours going in circles and burning credits because it is overriding its own previous code that worked on pages completely different than the ones I’m asking it to fix. Fucking ridiculous

Full Root Cause Analysis vs. “It works now” – when do you draw the line? (r/cscareerquestions)

• shinglee: It depends where you work and the engineering culture. At my current job – literally never. If anyone puts up a PR without showing a convincing understanding of the issue they get called out immediately.
• lrascao: Always RCA, learn something to prevent it happen again and amortize the cost in the long run
• gringo_escobar: It depends on how impactful the issue was. If it’s high-impact then definitely do an RCA to prevent it from happening again. If it’s a minor issue then time box it and move on if you can’t figure it out

Venture Studio that recruited me wants to charge \$20k/mo in service fees. I will not promote. (r/startups)

• Ruckus55: If they didnt disclose \$20k in fees out of the gate, what else are they hiding? Can you negotiate? Go more a la carte?
• mdas: Coming from someone who worked for many years at a studio, that deal is nonsensical. The way its structured makes it impossible to raise follow on funding, and a \$240k/year service fee is highway robbery.
• Sad-Background-2295: Move on, it’s a total money grab and I’m seeing more and more of these types of startups …

Are AI tools actually making you too productive to switch off? (r/OpenAI)

• Freed4ever: It is addictive since the reward loop is so quick. And also, there is a use-it-or-lose-it mentality with the subscription. However, there will be burnouts. Constant context switching has its toll.
• Intrepid_Dare6377: Same. There is something addictive about it. In particular I find myself wanting to make sure that Claude is always working on something. If it’s idling, waiting on me, I feel like it’s lost time.
• TXFin: I call work “Robo-simming” now. Flight sim is one of my big hobbies, but agentic AI has become more fun resulting in me flying a lot less. Instead of flight simming I am robo simming.

Vibecoders ARE the FUTURE. (Blind)

• zjshdhxjjx: Not knowing coding language was never a barrier. Its knowing what to build, how to build and where to look when things go wrong. That is still the same. So IMHO nothing has changed.
• UqPT65: I’ll raise you one and say AI agents that code are the future.
• skykomish: Two separate tracks. For POCs, yes, vibe-coding. For robust production code, way more human involvement.
