Don’t disagree just sharing context and info.

This article is a bit old, they did remove Colleen Shogan as the archivist. While it’s an apolitical appointment Trump does have full power over the role which is why this didn’t get much attention. However the archives do play an important role in keeping track of presidential records, so not great.

I never agreed with him, but he’s at least an American. Maybe not the same ideals, but it’s clear he has some standards.

Always thought John McCain would be the last person I said that about.

They’re actually playing a reverse card here and it’s sorta brilliant and stupid at the same time. A lot of these lawsuits are claiming the DEI policies are illegal because they are promoting certain groups over others.

There are a number of cases popping up like this and it’s probably an attempt to get it in front of the Supreme Court to kill protected classes or something - https://www.yahoo.com/news/missouri-sues-starbucks-over-dei-231002340.html

I mean I could save the US trillions by just shutting everything down, not sure if that results in “savings” though. Suspect there is a reason that money was allocated by congress.

The movies are decebt, but the world building/games/tv shows that got spun off from it we’re more than worth it in my opinion.

I think people remember the prequels so fondly because it was a time when star wars felt big and was expanding. The issue with the Sequels is that it actually shrunk the galaxy.

I think the core takeaway is your shouldn’t outsource core capabilities. If the code is that critical to your bottomline, pay for quality (which usually means no contractors - local or not).

If you outsource to other developers or AI it means most likely they will care less and/or someone else can just as easily come along and do it too.

Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.

If you look at the “Great Recession” in 2008. That was an economic crisis that more/less started in the US, but the end result was millions lost jobs, the PIGS debt crisis in Europe, etc.

That would be a drop in the bucket if US treasures disappeared.

You’re absolutely right a out data formatting being an issue and something that really does cause vendor lockin.

I would just think content creators would still want archive/backup of the final products (the video itself). For example could you imagine if a movie just disappeared because Adobe or someone shutdown.

Generally what they’re calling out is that DeepSeek currently rambles more. With LLMs the challenge is how to get the right answer most sussinctly because each extra word is a lot of time/money.

That being said, I suspect that really it’s all roughly the same. We’ve been seeing this back and forth with LLMs for a while and DeepSeek, while using a different approach, doesn’t really break the mold.

A lot of concern I’ve heard is that it’s possible he’s using it as a payment method for bribes/influence. Since they make money on fees, you could literally just trade the coins back and forth to yourself and “give” trump money.

I think most of the tools have a way to download content, the issue is no one does or has a system for their backups. Which is the risk with the cloud, you’re putting all your eggs in someone elses basket.

This was actually something I found interesting with the brief TikTok shutdown in the US. A lot of creators only had their content in the editing software owned by TikTok or the app itself, meaning they lost access to all of their content.

The biggest risk of cloud only setups is you don’t own it.

I think they’re two people with egos that can be used against them. We’ve seen foreign powers take advantage of this and I support the media doing the same.

At the end of the day, the checks and balances in our government were designed around people not wanting to share power (judicial vs executive vs legislative).

Well that’s messed up.

I only saw it cause it got a Oscar nomination and agree with the critics on this one.

It all felt a little off, like it was trying to be too many things at once. It jumped back and forth between what felt like parody/comedy/drama to the point it failed to do any particularly well. Or maybe it was a little too surreal to pull off the seriousness of the topic.
