Last year I spent some time in the part of Texas where the floods hit on the Guadalupe River last week.
Even to my California-kid eyes, eyes that rarely see a real river, the Guadalupe, as it passed through Comfort, Texas, was more of a creek than a river.
Over the last day I've wondered "what if I had been there when the flood hit?" I am used to having fairly serious topology, so I would have had trouble there in Texas figuring out which way to go to find "hi…

Gosh, I hate to undercut in any way all those press reports about how the Trump cyber EO demolishes the cyber initiatives of Biden and Obama, but with a couple of exceptions it doesn't.

So the main "arguments" when I say "AI doesn't work" and "it will collapse" are:
1. "You don't know what you're talking about"
2. "It's inevitable and here to stay, might as well go with the program"
3. "But it's almost there! Just last week they released [name of model] that is so close!"
Literally no one ever replies with any concrete examples with how it reliably, ethically and non-wastefully works for them to increase their productivity and improve their and other people's lives in any meaningful way.
It's always ad hominems, hypotheticals or deeply flawed "it sort of works for this".

There are no working quantum computers capable of factoring a 3-digit number. Last I heard, the record was the number 21.
That means there is no “production” environment capable of testing the critical feature. Beyond that, PQC deployment in the wild is new/small enough that we don’t even have a lot of assurance that the implementations live up to theory.

House Republicans who voted to pass Donald Trump’s tax bill last week
💥know it’s going to slash the federal Medicaid program by $1 trillion
🔥and kick millions of people off of their health care.
But that sounds bad.
And people already hate this law.
So instead of saying that,
Republicans are trying out a new way of talking about the bill they all voted for:
👉They just pretend they voted to increase Medicaid spending!

Trump’s latest letter imposing a 50 percent tariff on Brazil, marks a new departure,
and I think it’s both evil and megalomaniacal.
Trump barely even pretends that there’s an economic justification for this action.
This is all about punishing Brazil for putting Jair Bolsonaro on trial.
Bolsonaro, is Brazil’s previous president, who lost the last election — but tried to stay in power through a coup overturning that election.
Of course that sounds familiar.
