  1. Fair enough. I just remember things like all the hype about the superconducting material or you know all their economic data. From what I can gather, the worst case for US is they made some novel improvements in how these models are built and set up, while piggybacking off our existing structures and models and vastly understating how much time, money and hardware it cost to do so in order to cause a shock. Is it open source? If so, should be easy to pull the reverse China and steal their novel improvements and ramp them up further. You're right I can't test it. Good luck, we're all counting on you. As for Twitter, old habits die hard. It's still the fastest place to get wide variety of news. Still the best populated as well. For example, I searched and didn't see this Gavin Baker fellow on bluesky. Now he's a twitter follow for me. It's still quite useful. I guess not everyone has stopped using it?
  2. First you have to approach from the standpoint that China is lying about stuff. I think it's safe to say the US has hypersonic missile capability. We've had the tech in adjacent fields for a while. Also the rest of their military is second rate. Navy etc. Their economy is a ponzi. Their relative debt levels are higher than ours and that is seen as one of our biggest weaknesses according to the America bears. This article seems to have made the mistake of taking the Chinese word at face value. Not tech savvy, but this seems like a good breakdown. Some breakthroughs yes, but Chinese likely vastly understating the cost and type of hardware they used. Why would they do that? Because it's a Chinese operation to shake confidence in American markets and tech. Congrats. The good news is it will likely spur us to move even quicker. https://x.com/GavinSBaker/status/1883891311473782995 https://x.com/GavinSBaker/status/1883891313453470153
  3. Looks like someone needs to lay off the CCP propaganda
  4. This guy has some good points, but I don’t know how to make twitter work here. https://x.com/amlivemon/status/1884037387686191133?s=46 Anyone that takes China’s declarations of tech and economic policies at face value when for decades their tech has failed, their economy is a giant Ponzi scheme and it’s military is a paper tiger, I just laugh and discount. They tout hypersonics while US achieved Mach 24 in the 1970s… nor have Russia or China equaled the Blackbird tech… which is 60 years old…. So yes… China and Russia are decades upon decades behind in tech and economic progress
  5. https://x.com/matt_stepp817/status/1883994472633266315?s=46 Boerne HC going to Arkansas as senior analyst. Good SA area job available.
  6. FWIW I don't think I've ever seen anyone else get any of the glory
  7. Flood typically goes for giants, even if lower rated. 6'3" 275 does not seem to be his cup of tea.
  8. Correct. Is it messaging that fooled the hispanic voters along the border to vote for Trump? Or are the concerns real and perhaps it was wrongly downplayed in the media? The first step is always admitting there's a problem.
  9. Evidently there’s some new AI app called Deep Seek. I don’t know shit about this, but supposedly it was built with less capital and is open source? Stock market futures down, presumably on the whole AI bubble getting blown? And btw it’s from China. So there’s that geopolitical angle. Chamath gives his breakdown. https://x.com/chamath/status/1883579259769462819?s=46
  10. Biden did roughly the same number of ICE arrests. But when the gross amount coming in is much more, then there’s a delta there that is substantial over 4 years. That’s pretty straightforward. Then there’s also the optics of flying people in from everywhere. Everyone saw the migrants in gray sweats in airports. It put out a visual that we were going out of our way facilitate anybody coming. Again, the average American probably isn’t for that. It may not have changed things, but could’ve dialed that back some imo.
  11. I think the Dems biggest weak spot that theoretically could’ve been mitigated was border security. Throw some token resources at it. Make some PR arrests and deportations. Instead when there were reports of organized criminal activity, they poopooed it. Tried to move on. Now in the first week Trump is getting served up the low hanging fruit of rounding up these people and sending them home. Easy, good publicity for him. The average American isn’t thinking wow, what a shame we’re kicking them out. They’re thinking why were they allowed to be here. This is difficult for Dems to counter.
  12. A lot of big names around that time. Tom Shires also.
  13. Dr Jones was Chair of the Surgery dept at Baylor when I was there. Was chief resident there for both jfk and Oswald. They took Q2 call. No snowflakes in medical training back then! He says it looked like entry wound in neck as well. Interesting that he says in the moment they deferred a more thorough examination of JFK after he was declared dead, out of respect for Jackie in the room. Longer interview here, but some cool details and background. https://www.jfk.org/collections-archive/dr-ronald-c-jones-oral-history/
  14. Is dementia setting in here? This hire is so off the charts bad. Jerruh still has final say on everything, right?
  15. Why? He seems like a pretty laid back, funny guy. Opposites attract.
  16. This is going to be a big adjustment.
  17. Zverev is due. With 7 Masters wins, he has the most without winning a Slam.
  18. I always think of this song when i see his name.
  19. I hate to see that my sweet, sweet Blake could've taken a turn for the worse.
  20. Counting Crows in San Marcos many moons ago. Don't even really like them. Drug there by girl. Lead singer was sooooooo fucking trashed he couldn't do anything.
  21. Sure. It’s like agents floating that a coach is a target of other jobs to get a raise even they have no intention of leaving. Ahem, Sark Nfl, ahem.
