This new "Nobody elected Elon Musk!" angle from leading Democrats is so bad. One of the key pillars of Trump's campaign was the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon. This is exactly what people voted for, not some kind of surprise twist!

Everyone angry about the age of DOGE workers is going to be very surprised when they find out how old the Founding Fathers were.

DeepSeek is legitimately impressive, but the level of hysteria is an indictment of so many. The $5M number is bogus. It is pushed by a Chinese hedge fund to slow investment in American AI startups, service their own shorts against American titans like Nvidia, and hide sanction evasion. America is a fertile bed for psyops like this because our media apparatus hates our technology companies and wants to see President Trump fail. We have so many useful idiots uncritically reporting Chinese propaganda as fact because on some level, they want it to be true. They love seeing hundreds of billions of dollars wiped off the market cap off our largest companies.

California (more specifically, the state legislature and Gavin Newsom) just banned Glocks, the most common firearms in the country by far, for being "unsafe", claiming they are too easy to convert into machine guns. The government claims Glock could have updated their designs to make these illegal conversions harder, that their refusal to do so puts blood on their hands. In reality, California law is the reason those updates were never made! California (more specifically, Kamala Harris) decided in 2001 that all new handgun designs needed to include microstamping, a non-existent but patented technology that engraves every round with two unique serial numbers as they are fired. Existing designs were grandfathered in, but any changes whatsoever, even texture or color changes, would require this new non-existent technology. It is worth noting that she did so by specifically warranting that the technology was commercially available, which triggered a provision in an existing piece of legislation despite not being true. As a result, California has been stuck with Glocks designed in 1998. There have been several generations of updates in every other state that make them safer in a variety of ways. It is crazy to blame Glock for not updating their designs in California when the law prohibits them from doing so.

As far as I know, there has never been a real postmortem on the whole "$99 computers will pull the Third World out of poverty" bit that pretty much everyone in tech treated as serious for at least a decade. It moved from WIRED covers, TED talks, and UN proclamations to silence.

YouTube has deleted every comment I ever made about the Wumao (五毛), an internet propaganda division of the Chinese Communist Party. Who at Google decided to censor American comments on American videos hosted in America by an American platform that is already banned in China?

The fastest way to lower average housing prices in American cities is enforcing the law/reducing criminal activity. Huge chunks of high-density housing are trapped in Bad Neighborhoods, no-go zones depressed well below nearby prices. Nobody with options even considers them.

The people in this picture are the ones funding Russia's invasion. They collectively sent billions of dollars more to Russia than to Ukraine last year. Half the people pictured literally laughed aloud at Trump when he spoke at the UN in 2018 about EU reliance on Russian gas.

Every American man is required by law to register for the draft. Failure to do so is a crime punishable by $250,000, 5 years in prison, and lifetime ineligibility for government benefits. Counselling any man to not register has the same punishment.

If the story about Meta removing tampons from the men's restrooms turns out to be true, I will share the hilarious decade-old origin story of the policy.

What will happen in broader academia when clear scientific consensus is that AI-assisted education delivers better outcomes than 3.8M teachers currently do?

Loading up and shipping out another truckload of leverage for Ukraine!

It is wild to see people who disagree with Elon's politics advocate to instead purchase cars from BYD, a Chinese company that just had a factory site shut down for slavery.

It says something about society that the most controversial thing I have said in recent history is that I wish I would have married my wife sooner. Not that whales might have better oral history than humans, not that America should restart nuclear testing, marrying young!

Would you buy a Made In America computer from Anduril for 20% more than Chinese-manufactured options from Apple?

What is currently the best solution for turning a large collections of personal notes and chats into an LLM-interrogable dataset? It seems like most off-the-shelf options can't keep context at scale.

Anduril and Meta have teamed up to make the world's best AR and VR systems for the United States Military. Leveraging Meta's massive investments in XR technology for our troops will save countless lives and dollars.

"Unprecedented embrace of protectionism", they say. No, reciprocal tariffs are the opposite. The whole point is to encourage free trade rather than lopsided "free trade" we currently have with so many countries. "It's very simple. If they charge us, we charge them."

Will there ever be a cooler name for a weapon than Hellfire? Very jealous, tbh
