I wonder what it’s like to have a high enough energy-to-todo-list ratio for sending Christmas cards.

Because of the woke left, people have been afraid to say anything other than "Happy Holidays" during this time of year. But now, thanks to the efforts of Trump, Vance, and the GOP, folks are once again comfortable with the more traditional, "Sieg Heil."

Using Github Copilot to reverse-engineer some old DOS abandonware is a fascinating experience. And I used to do academic research on reverse-engineering.

Most people who swear by their tech are pretty mediocre/bad analysts. But therein lies the problem. You have bad analysts controlling data and making decisions thinking they're playing with cheat codes.
That's how people minding their own business end up getting drone-struck.

Correct.
Almost without exception, Palantir's platforms are shitty. They are the supreme GIGO inhaler of federal funds, and that's saying something.
But they aren't agnostic. They view the Leviathan as a guiding ethos.
You think DHS/ICE is taking pictures of everyone they encounter for fun?

Broken windows policing. But for cops.
My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money
