Classic over-engineering. Their approach is just fine 90% of the time for the use case it’s intended for.
Idealism is thinking you can bomb a country’s cities with impunity and not expect any blowback.
Russians are using those planes to bomb Ukrainian cities and murder Ukrainian civilians. “Amazing” is the correct word for it
You probably didn’t write up a detailed prompt with perfect specifications in 10 seconds, either. In my experience, it doesn’t matter how good or detailed the prompt is—after enough lines of code, the LLM starts making…
I’m working on a research cybersecurity tool that attempts to combine the natural language understanding and information synthesis strengths of LLM-driven agents with symbolic logic and knowledge bases expressed as…
It's also worth noting that some of the damage will be permanent. Trump's mini trade war with China in 2018 (for which he had to bail out farmers) led to US farmers permanently losing market share in soybean exports to…
No, but we're not just importing stuff because it keeps port workers busy. We import stuff because there is demand for it, and port workers' labor generates many multiples of profitable business activity downstream.
Yes. The port traffic data discussed in this thread is one such example. I'm not an economist or supply chain expert myself, so I rely on actual subject-matter experts to interpret and contextualize the raw numbers for…
That's not what trickle-down economics mean. Trickle-down is the idea that giving tax breaks or benefits to the wealthy or big corporations will eventually benefit everyone else through increased investment or job…
Kevin O'Leary is not a credentialed economist.
It's an unpopular opinion because it's wrong. No single aspect of the economy exists in a vacuum. Tariffs and lower shipping volumes portend thousands of small businesses potentially going under, translating to many…
Weird gotcha attempt. Who are you even speaking to? Are these "anti-capitalists" in the room with us right now?
When was the last time the White House spokesperson for a different administration publicly called the free market actions of a private company "hostile"?
Yet another attack on freedom of speech and the rest of our civil liberties by the current administration.
Since when did free trade become a partisan issue? All respected economists on all sides of the political spectrum agree that tariffs hurt the economy. The current President is the only political actor pushing for…
The Constitution protects us from the whims of the majority.
Prior administration USDS wasn't stealing sensitive NLRB data or sending threatening notes to would-be whistleblowers in the process.
The gaslighting is you calling the report that this whistleblower was threatened “fan fiction”.
Cyber criminals is factual. This is who Elon staffed DOGE with. https://fortune.com/2025/03/27/a-doge-staffer-working-as-a-s...
What kind of response is this?

Merit as defined by an administration whose cabinet is composed of Fox News personalities, DUI hires, and some of the least qualified people for the jobs they were given. This administration has ZERO credibility to…
Protectionism stifles competition.
... while simultaneously adding trillions to the deficit to finance tax cuts for the rich.
Actually very unlikely unless Congress passes a bill.
