Congress has exercised Inherent Contempt powers as recently as a hundred years ago but they turned the Congressional Jail into a speakeasy/conference room which roughly reflects their sense of duty.

Which, to your point, they now refer the DoJ to the DoJ for prosecution.

But also that illustrates why prior Congresses held the power to be essential.

It would have been grand if "The Dow, the Dow is over fifty thousand!" landed Bill Barbie in jail until she had time to think abour her duty to respond truthfully.

I've reminded Paul about his duty but they're all weak on such matters.

If only Alan Watts had known about the biological processes tied to the Schumann Resonance, 1G of gravity, and the Circadian Rhythm ... he would have come to the same conclusions.

Deep Space explorers are going to have to create mini Earths if they want to stay healthy.

This is very disappointing to the Platonists and Transhumanists.

The eight states are Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, West Virginia, Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, and Montana.

They are all red states.

That's surprising to me. These sorts of silly lawsuits usually come from blue states.

If you're going to make the reviewer responsible for quality, then you need to give them time to do a proper review. And a full review takes about as long as writing the code in the first place (you have to test every line, look for edge cases, negative tests, etc), so you need to schedule time in your budget for developers to do that.

And no one schedules enough time for a full review.

I've heard that Zoomers are fleeing anything funding Paramount/WB products now that funding of IDF is such a straight line. They might need higher fees to offset the volume losses.

I'd probably do so too if I had been. Not sure how people have time for such things in this environment.

Competent programmers can work without really competent code review. They prefer to have code review, but if it's not present, their output is still consistently high quality. It's a multi-step process to ensure quality.

Also Trump is wrecking the economy and nobody wants to acknowledge that

Because it just is not true. Median household incomes in the US are just steadily rising (inflation-adjusted) since he took office in 2024.

The trick is the average person can't keep that basic computer secure either.

"Be your own bank" is good but banks have armored cars and vaults and insurance.

If you write down your seed you better keep it in a place where nobody can ever find it.

There's no great solution that will always work. Some people do a dedicated Graphene phone and bury their seed stamped into titanium using a OTP in a forest an hour from home but for others there's a reason hardware wallets have market appeal.

I wish I had these four billion dollar problems. If these devices support multisig you could at least have a few of them.

Well each Matter release is supporting more device classes so hopefully fewer devices will need apps over time.

Apple support of Thread will help it gain momentum. Ikea helped but people want to sell to Apple customers.

I run OTBR nodes alongside ZigBee devices and Thread is much less reliable even though it should be better in every way.

I've stopped buying Thread devices for now even though it will eventually own the market.

The one thing I won't buy is Thread over Wifi devices, i want home stuff on completely different networks.

Now ask why the FBI didn't arrest him on those Epstein charges. Or any other Epstein clients.

Where's Katie Johnson's 302?

Why is DoJ illegally withholding and redacting millions of files?

Don't mistake two enemies fighting for friends.

Oh, and they're actively framing an autistic black man for terrorism.

There's always been suspicion about why Mozilla was so reluctant to support JPEG-XL where code would come and go, it would be implemented and pulled, etc.

Speculation was that while Google was paying Mozilla $300M/yr they were also trying to make webp happen. The AV1 stuff was good but shoehorning it into a static image format wasn't the best.

Same idea as why IPv6 took 30 years to catch on - it didn't offer most people much more with extra work required to not get much benefit.

JPEG-XL did so much more but mysteriously languished.

That Mozilla jumped as soon as Google did is noticeable. They used to be an industry leader but maybe all those people have moved on or been pushed out.

I found this other article that talks in more detail about what he's been doing with it.

You are right. Maybe Linux Foundation members have been pressuring him to use it for something in the kernel. They pressured him successfully in the past.

No one else wants them.

This article does a better job showing what Linus has been working on with LLMs.

I guess the key is to use AI to do something you're bad at. Apparently you are good at making lovely documents, so that wasn't effective.
