I have been negatively polarized by anti-datacenter whining. The whole economy should be datacenters. If you complain about datacenters your house should be bulldozed and replaced with a datacenter.

"I am OK with DNI Tulsi Gabbard" is very good microcosm of how insane everything is right now

Sen. Warner says he’d be OK with Tulsi Gabbard staying on as DNI while they confirm a new DNI and deal with FISA but “Trump wants chaos”
“There's a dozen ways to get this done if you want to get it done and protect national security”

I don't understand why people waste life insurance policies on funeral arrangements. Throw your beloved in a wood chipper and use the bereavement time to travel Europe

I asked Claude Opus to analyze an encrypted payload, and it thought about it for 40 minutes and then said I had exhausted my enterprise token allotment. Am I going to get fired?

Platner seems to be a pretty flawed candidate, but it's Maine so he'll probably still win. You should obviously vote for him if you live there.

I do not understand why they're bothering with a contested primary. Democrats could have cleared the field for one candidate, and then have Klobuchar appoint the other.

"AI is going to be a very important technology that will mostly be realized as continued trend growth" is a lukewarm take perfectly calibrated to drive everyone insane.

When you buy a SaaS solution you're also offloading liability in ways that are useful enough to justify the cost premium. If your payroll software fucks up or leaks a bunch of PII you want that to be someone else's problem.

I've watched a ton of people vibe code internal tooling only to realize:
"I am now the admin for something that basically does the same thing as the software we used to use "
And go back to using that software. It turns out 10% more customization isn't really worth it at all

California counts votes too quickly, they should use the whole lame duck period to make sure they really get it right.

Everything about this show was so good, Matthew Rhys being an elite Soviet spy who was ambivalent to slightly negative about the Soviet Union was also excellent.
