That Trump's own appointed Head of Intelligence denied? The least republicans can do is align their own fucking story.

I'm sure the decades of CIA meddling in the Middle East and endless wars had no effect on raising generations of US hatred. To hit someone, then call them dangerous when they say "I hate you" is real hero stuff

Yes because I would not expect HN populace to be the same distribution as the general US. Just like how I would find it strange if medical professionals had more anti-vaxx than I expected.

Human problems are always in conflict, in cycle. How was that a bad deal? Never let perfect be the enemy of good It also just as well could have been us making another deal to extend the time, but just because Obama's deal was "no

I'm sure people (esp engineers) know this. But imagine you're starting a company: would you try to deploy N agents (even if shitty), or take a financial/time/legal/social risk with a new hire. When you consider shor

This sounds fine? Copy pasting LLM output without understanding is a short term dopamine hit that only hurts you long term if you don't understand it. If you struggle first, or strategically ping-pong with the LLM to arrive at the answ

Doesn't this mean AMD could make the same python API that targets their hardware, and now Nvidia GPUs aren't as sticky?

According to these "it lowers kids IQ" people, is the average IQ of Hawaiian kids higher than other states?

I agree this is where things seem to be going in the 5-10year frame. Spinning wheel didn't obsolete weavers completely, it just allowed for more workers and more throughput at less skill. I think entry junior devs will be out of jobs,

That's why code was invented in the first place no? But now LLMs are in the ballpark where lay people can describe something vaguely and get a working MVP. Whether you can ship, scale, and debug that code is a completely different ques

This cannot possibly be a good faith argument. Real world is full irreversible cause to effect. This isn't some tech company running an A/B experiment. Let's cut healthcare, oops more people dead, but can't bring them ba

How does this reduce the fraud in the federal spending? How does this decrease inflation, and make america great again?

I'm almost certain this thread is being targeted by bots. Comments in support are always cookie cutter talking points like "cutting waste and fraud", "what's wrong with executive branch auditing itself", etc

There's no point in wondering this. Soros is swamp but Musk is not? There's just no rational, two neurons connecting there. It's just their side bad, my side good brainwashing.

This has to be a bad faith argument. DOGE was not signed into law by congress as an official executive department, Musk was not officially appointed with a congress hearing and approval.

Why stop there? Just don't spend tax dollars on anything, 100% of the budget freed. This is such a stupid fucking argument

Yeah but pardoning the killer is. Why the killer chose to do it, who knows? Frankly, even if the phone call is leaked, motive doesn't matter apparently.

Surely the "impeachment exists" arguments are in bad faith. Otherwise, I'm convinced they've abandoned reason. Impeachment process takes time, and in that window, the president can do whatever. POTUS can even mobilize th

Agreed. It's only been a decade as an adult, but riding a waymo was my first real wow moment for a technology. Not VR, not LLMs, etc. I would actually only ride waymos over human driven taxis if they were available in my current area

Yeah positive incentive and/or negative deterrent is just not strong enough for people to act on it over the current convenience. If "reusable" bags cost $10 at the store, but you get it refunded if you bring your own, I bet

I agree that supply is the real problem, but not because there's not enough physical units. I feel like governments need to either ban or very heavily tax owning residential property that you don't live in yourself. Just building

Yup, another thing these first world countries don't seem to get: they have dropping birthrates, while other places with lower standards of living don't seem to be slowing down. When these regions get too hot or unpredictable to l

This is something I struggle with profoundly daily. Yes, my "individual" action as a 1 in 8 billion people, or 1 in 300 million Americans isn't going to move the needle. Large scale governmental and corporate action is needed
