  1. When finance bros run the world, CapEx good; OpEx bad.
  2. Inb4 the supreme Court rules "fuggit, dawg. Let em play"
  3. I won't believe it until twicehorn comes through to tell us we're all overreacting and yet it's also worse than we thought
  4. this is an impressive #bothsides, and from a nazi sympathizer comic artist no less. Classic, did babayaga link that one to you?
  5. It's almost like they have a habit of rolling that phrase out in the face of damning evidence, and their army of useful and uncritical idiots never think more than a couple seconds about it before giving it the 'ol okeydoke
  6. https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/1995/october/success-meant-death-interview-kaoru-hasegawa Wow what a remarkable story. That sort of honor and dignity has certainly left our armed forces at this point, given how a fish rots from the head. Hasegawa was even treated as a Callaghan survivor at a ship's reunion That really REALLY flies in the face of the murder that this administration ordered.
  7. crossposting... paywalled NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/us/politics/boat-strikes-trump-hegseth-caribbean.html
  8. [laughs in John Roberts]
  9. Ward Carroll has been a surprisingly good and deep source of information TLDR - no evidence of this being "radicalized terrorism" and it looks MUCH MUCH more like PTSD and a broken man snapping after being left hung out to dry. He was vetted by the CIA, and was a "top 1% Afghan soldier"
  10. covering a jeep in mines/C4 charges and ghost riding it into a bunch of enemies is PEAK Battlefield
  11. I do wonder what the context of these comments were - if I recall it was around the same time as all the hullabaloo Russian disinformation about Jade Helm
  12. Given that our president pardoned one drug lord while threatening another, it reads more like picking a side and getting in on the action
  13. https://apnews.com/article/trump-hegseth-pentagon-drug-boats-caribbean-ae33b738a2481932ffefaf58e0a2d6ab WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike, according to two people familiar with the matter. The rationale for the second strike was that it was needed to sink the vessel, according to the people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss it publicly. The Trump administration says all 11 people aboard were killed.
  14. Notably, EVERY guardman is going to be armed now. Even those serving support roles like the people being ordered to pick up trash because cities are so """overrun with crime""". Nevermind that they're being deployed illegally.
  15. This is gonna help, they're all going out armed and deadly on their illegal domestic deployment https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/02/national-guard-washington-dc-armed They're out there hoping for another person to take the bait and further crack down.
  16. pretty gross self-report, IMO
  17. Heh funny typo on his name plate at a recent cabinet meeting earlier today interestingly ordered the "S" to be struck twice, I guess
  18. Well when I think of our current administration, I think "surgical operation" lmfao
  19. it wasn't really fudging so much as a consistent and predictable inaccuracy that held across multiple presidencies, but acting like it was a conspiracy is fun too I guess. But I take it to mean, you don't really care about the number anymore now that it's just not being published?
  20. I disagree pretty strongly with this chart, mainly because it's making the same fallacious leaps in logic that idiot middle managers do about how much """AI""" can do. Assuming that every judge, patient, and consumer will just happily lap up AI slop is a little outrageous. This is still extremely bullish on AI in general, despite your preferred posturing as "bearish"
  21. Nope I haven't This is an actual use case for LLMs. All the cloud providers have pretty handy built in agents now that do a similar function. Can't think of the right cloud trail query? No problem, just describe it and they'll generate the query and drop it into the editor box for you. I use Cline with a locally hosted LLM to accelerate local development and it's been very handy for covering unit test gaps,and building new projects from source that have complex dependencies. It's great for reading through dense logs and crap that I don't want to look through but need a morsel of information out of.
  22. I'm not sure since in that scenario, we would be 10-2 and almost certainly in with a major marquee win like that? Definitely one of the stronger 10-2 teams in the field
  23. What's up with cancelling the jobs report, inflation report, and GDP report? I wonder when ignoring the scary data will finally help rates
