Well, this post again shows us Oren's opposition to assisting Ukraine. But it's oddly silent on the actions of the leader of his "new" right as he unspools DonOrenomics further. We learned of the new 50% tariff on Brazil based not on any economic rationale, (we have a trade surplus with Brazil) but on Don's unhappiness with the trial of his fellow insurrectionist, Mr Bolsonaro. Seems ripe for discussion?
Meanwhile, for weekly reading, I'd recommend reading at least one taco tariff letter sent by Don-the leader of the "new" right. At least it's not literally in crayon, but it's sufficiently sophomoric to embarrass any honest American.
EV cars are a myth. It would take us 40 years to get our grid reliable enough for all of the electric cars and then the energy problem itself to make the electricity needed for all of this. Now, if we could get much much more nuclear going this would really help. But our grid has been neglected and ignored for so long it is not possible to reliably make it worth pumping all this energy through it. Most of this has been half ass maintained and is 40-60 years old. But sounds great as sound bites from politicians.
As far as the Heritage Foundation and the present republican party. They are the "no" party. Have been for the last 40 years. Better infrastructure (parks, grid, energy systems, roads, water treatment, schools, ect.) - no to all. Obama was a do-nothing president, he should have been a neo con republican, no for everything. Wait, except money to bail out Wall Street. That was his only real yes.
The solution to the Social Security crisis is fairly obvious. Remove the earnings cap on Social Security taxes and means test the benefits to ensure that no retired person lives in poverty.
Well, it started off as a great commentary on the real usefulness of AI as it exists today. As a software engineer, I have used LLMs for a number of things. They seem to work best doing work in which a human learns by trial and error. Turns out, only a small fraction of work is learned that way.
Fred Brooks was only partially correct. For a better understanding of why projects go over budget, find and read about the Rework Cycle, popularized by MIT's Ken Cooper. Worth your 10 minutes.

How about capping benefits for the riches 10 % and God forbidden I say this...move the min
Retirement age from 62 to 64 ??

Or worse. AI: “Got a moment?”
