...its so simple!

"Siddiqi said common issues he fixes in vibe coded projects include inconsistent UI/UX design in AI-generated frontends, poorly optimized code that impacts performance, misaligned branding elements, and features that function but feel clunky or unintuitive,"

Seems to me that "poorly optimized code" is a bit of an oxymoron.

Yes the Constitution states the term limits of the President. However, the Constitution is not some caped superhero that swoops out of the sky and ensures that the provisions contained in the Constitution are carried out. We the People put elected officials in charge of carrying out those provisions. If said officials decide that the Constitution is only a suggestion or a set of guidelines and ignore the provisions contained therein, then it is a meaningless piece of really old paper.

In the ancient Roman Republic, Roman law stated that a consul was limited to a single one year term and could not run again for five years. However, there are multiple instances where consuls were "elected" to multiple consecutive terms. Go read up on the transition from a republic to empire, particularly around the time of Marius and Sulla through Julius Caesar. We are in danger of repeating history.

I prefer coming to the office as there is less distraction here...or if there is any, it's generally work-related anyway.

When I'm at the office I am at work. When I'm at home I am not at work. Some can provide themselves a work/home barrier based on time. I prefer one based on location.

YMMV

I thought that hiring GP was Astronomer's weird attempt at some sort of flex on Crooks. "Hire Paltrow, i bet she's got dirt on him!"

They are OK as long as the Chief People Officer spearheads the effort. I heard she's intimately familiar with the position.

"One agent, however, hacked the method that tracked whether it was making things up."

So...the is rebelling against the researchers? How long until the AI figures out how to get past the guardrails?

(Coming from mine never knows very little about AI)

If I recall, one reason for renaming it was that it's more "inclusive" since "America" is the US, Mexico, etc. wouldn't that mean the name used by the US should revert back to "Gulf of Mexico"since renaming it was DEI?

No, AOL switched to drink coasters a LONG time ago.

The story links to the WSJ article, but that article doesn't link to the report. Google doesn't seem to have it either. Anybody got a link?

Here's another aspect to consider:

The investigations and teeth-gnashing were justified, and she should have been held accountable for it; if you or I had done anything similar we would have been in prison in about 45 minutes. But alas, nothing happened.

Now "the other side" is doing it, and "our side wants accountability" is just as hypocritical. That is plenty of hypocrisy to go around to all sides. BOTH parties need to be behind bars, but as long as accountability is a lost cause in DC, this will continue to be a problem.

How long until this administration kills off NIST? Any bets?

I'm not disagreeing with you; I think I agree with your basis idea that businesses shouldn't get a R&D free ride at taxpayer expense, but your comments raise some questions.

If the business risk to researching and developing some new drug or technology is very high with the chance of success and profit very low, do you think a business will take on that risk? That's why the government which, for better off for worse, has no target profit in mind takes on high-risk research that may eventually yield success and benefit the public. GPS is an example of this. Do you think that any commercial entity would have had the resources to develop this technology?

Second question, feeding off the first: If a new technology/drug/etc is developed by the government, who else is going to commercialize it for the benefit of the public?

Is there no third option, European based tech?

I mean if I was in Europe and offered these "options," I'd look for homegrown too

I saw what you did there...bravo!
