Project 2025 is only the “part 1” doc, and they’re tracking to wrap most of it up this year.

Yeah, that’ll be the product-oriented engineers / engineer-oriented product folks. We will drop the narrow-minded deadweight that can only collect naive requirements, and the coding side that can only implement unambiguous tickets.

I’ve seen that several times. It seems like they just surface bing results atm.

I’m already at the point of distrusting any and all brand name call outs in ChatGPT, unless I’m talking about vintage stuff that is exclusively 2nd hand (and suspicious even then). They’ve already scraping an astroturfed internet.

For the same reason, I’d argue mortgages are a bad thing for consumers by creating this prisoners dilemma around debt.

How does bnpl increase sales? My intuition is it brings in a slight bump now, at the cost of longer term. The customer can either wait N months to buy the bike cash, or buy it now and pay interest for the next K months. - In the first scena

Prevost was at the top of the "status" list. They also published guesses by "information control" and "coalition building".

What do you mean by “clear answer”? How would you definitively prove this is fake or real? Some photo might be proven to be eg distant lights or inconstant lighting… but a bespoke prop and old / bad cameras? we can only say “it looks s

1. Seattle is quite safe. Friendliness is different than safety 2. It all comes back to housing density/supply. As you say, daycare costs are dominated by staffing ratios/wages - which are a function of cost of living. The surge o

We expected heavy elements from supernova. It’s surprising that there is 10x more heavy elements than expected. Were there more supernova? Bigger ones? Are we missing other pieces of the picture?

What was the web like before wide spread internet ads, auth, and search engines? Did all those old sites have “business models”? What did the web feel like back then? (This is rhetorical - I had niche hobby sites back then, in the same way

Yeah, they’d walk out because that’s a bad-faith example of a pitch. A good sales person would talk about any self-driving feature built in (eg lane following) then mention the car is compatible with third-party self-driving products like C

I clicked your link and have absolutely no idea what I am looking at. There is overlapping text, obscure words without definition, terribly confusing UX. What is this? Who is it for? Why do you think this is demonstrates the OP is BS?

> I think the issue is that life is boring; most problems are solved. There's nothing to talk about. Why go learn guitar when AI can make a song for you? Why learn piano 200 years ago? We would’ve been forgettable even back then. Li

US has been reshoring hardware for a while, but that didn’t stop DeepSeek and certainly won’t prevent presently allied powers from building AIs. A big lesson seems to be that one can rapidly close the gap, with much less compute, once paths

What are you talking about? We can wear gold, make weapons out of iron, cups out of copper… coins have both a fiat face value and real tangible value (the “floor”). Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. It’s entirely belief. That’s not a bad thin

Why bitcoin instead of doge or any of the other digital golds?

This comment is peculiar - among technologists, for years the common refrain I’ve heard is “Bitcoin makes no sense but the underlying block chain ideas are very useful”. Of course the combination of signed transactions, common visible ledge

Why does the architect of blob storage matter? The hash can be calculated as data streams in for the first write, before data gets dispersed into multiple physically stored blocks.

On my teams, if someone got paged off-hours they would just work less the day after the event. imo it should just be part of the regular salary/work expectations, incentivizing keeping oncall low
