Sweeny owns 41% of Epic Games and is third wealthiest person North Carolina. He doesn't need a golden parachute.

No, but he can slow it down during his second and third terms.

Given that cheap, one way drones are the future of combat and that the US is woefully behind on this tech, I'll do whatever I can to help Anduril or a similar company succeed.

Stackoverflow has been circling the drain for quite some time. Unfortunately they've alienated most of their users. In times past I never even tried to search for a problem on the general internet. I just went strait to stackoverflow. Now, I go strait to Claude (or Gemini and ChatGTP) if I'm out of free quota for the day.

People will take the path that gets them the answers the fastest. I can't see that being StackOverflow ever again.

"Don't be as evil as the other AIs" Yes, I think that is better. Shades of Animal Farm here.

For scoring 97th and 99th percentiles on standardized tests....turns out they are just the best of a bad batch. *sigh*

When everyone is the problem, changes are you are the problem.

One of the issues with C and C++ and many other "verbose" and overly "ceremonial" languages is that they are very token inefficient.

Expect languages that get more done with less code to be more popular going forward. The models have limited context and you don't want to waste half of it on boilerplate.

Gosh, it's not like I can't buy a stolen gun to us in my criminal acts. They are every bit as untraceable as a 3d printed gun.

This is what happens when we have kings in the White House issuing decrees. A new king comes in and wipes out the decrees from the old king.

As disastrous as this sounds, the short term impact will be minimal. Companies are not going to invest in new capability without having a stable regulatory environment. If Dems lose big in Nov '26, they might then...but if Dems win big, expect companies to do nothing knowing that in 2028 the Endangerment Finding will be back and even more dire.

At the end of the day, Congress should be legislating these types of regulations and not leaving it up the current person occupying the White House. They need to get it together and do their job...or maybe "We the People" need to start doing our job instead of electing politicians that care more about their own power than they do about the future of America.

Should drop worldwide temperatures by 10-20 degrees. Will also help depopulate and deindustrialize the world a bit. It's a win/win.

The concern is that one company will get AI right and eat the market, so everyone in that market has to roll the AI dice or else get left behind.

I just realize that years of watching tiktok, youtube shorts and facebook reels has deadend my brain and I can't focus on anything longer than 30 seconds. Oh well.

I had never heard of Anna's Library, now a whole new world of books has opened up to me! Thanks to the folks bringing the lawsuit.

The reason they don't have the money is because of all the things they buy on credit. Sure, life might suck for 6 months, a year or two, but once you get over that hump of financing everything it gets so much better. Stop paying with credit, it costs you more money.
