> But expecting the vanilla consumer-facing version to aggressively interrogate all angles of attack is a little odd.

How does Chat GPT health do on this (genuine question, I haven’t tried it)? Because that’s an area where that exact kind of behavior is really important

I think also the right level of middle manager requires an enormous amount of trust in the middle managers.

When trust is lost, orgs try to bury it by either cutting management or by adding more and more of it

Yea, I think this is basically what happened to Bondi.

Trump doesn't like the failure to get an indictment, but he really doesn't like the failure to convict.

If you're a Trumpist trying to satisfy him with trumped up charges on a political opponent, you're damned if you do, damned it you don't

Like, if you’re in the position where swapping a wall outlet involves calling an electrician, yea, I wouldn’t do it for that

Also wall outlets are fairly cheap and something that’s pretty quick to replace yourself if you know how.

I don’t really like usb chargers in outlets, but if I did, having 1 outlet in every room that I update every 5-10 years would be fine

Yep, true when asking it to review code. I tell it any code I’ve written that I want it to review is from another team that I haven’t worked with before. I don’t have any sense of the quality of their work. Please review X, Y, and Z

Basically he could force hearings by saying: “if you don’t hold hearing in the next 3 months, I’m switching”

I’m worried about him threatening a party switch if we have 51 seats and hold to the McConnell Precedent for 18 months

Not only that, but need to win 52 seats in order to have room for the "Fetterman Factor"

Though I imagine existing sanctions might make the payment problematic in other ways?

I didn’t think the formal notice of the blockade prohibited paying the toll? I thought formally it was just a blockade of ships that visited an Iranian port?

I actually think it *is* rotating villain theory, but for the GOP.

This was likely a case of more moderates wanting to vote no, and leadership gave out exactly as many hall passes as they could afford to give

Then again I’m not an accountant, so maybe I was just pretty bad at estimating my taxes

Do they have a lot of self-employment income? My refunds are often pretty swingy, for having to pay quarterly payments on a kinda variable estimated income

My kids are in the middle of a big Daniel Tiger phase, so I read "Who do you think you are, toots?" in Miss Elaina's voice, which I highly recommend as the way everyone reads that post

We will make sure of that.

How do the futures market works if I sell a futures contract, but then can’t actually deliver the oil when the contract comes due?

No, that’s exactly it, I don’t think we can deter the President with the threat of criminal punishment very well.

But we *can* deter all of the other people required to carry out criminal actions (unless the President can promise them pardons)

And what kinds of responses might we see from China if we do stop this vessel (or maybe a more clear test-case vessel)?

Would they start moving naval assets into the region? Respond economically? Something else?

Knowing nothing about naval transit, how long will it take us to find out if the USN has decided to stop this vessel?

Is this something that'll know if it was interdicted within 24 hours, or might it take much longer until we know if we've decided to stop it or not?

And I think this kind of thing gets replicated in a bunch of different markets/spaces

And some of that is for good reason (basically all of medical care is in that bucket; mandated safety features in cars, etc), but I gotta think it would be *possible* to make a $10k-$12k car that would be street legal in the US.

(setting aside medical care, because that one's more...complicated)

I think part of the problem is we don't have the **option** to buy the cheap small car anymore. As the car's have sold more car, and gotten more expensive, they've taken the "less car, cheap car" option off the table

My favorite is the streaming services that remember where you left off in an episode, and auto-start you there when you click the episode.

Oh, and also you left off this episode right at the end where we auto-skip forward, so now you have 5 seconds to stop from auto-skipping forward again

I think "how much of this did you have an inkling of when you endorsed him" is a question he's going to have to answer, and I think the impact probably depends on his answer and the credibility of that answer.

I have a nice starter watch. I bought it at Walmart for $10? It’s great! It tells me the time! I couldn’t ever imagine upgrading.

Maybe ask the AI to write a python script to do the google search for you?

Like, we need *some* safeguard against that. DC statehood would help a lot, but I think most proposals would still leave the Capitol and SCOTUS building in federal-only jurisdiction

I do think we need to guard against the fact that *right now* if the President ordered members of the army in DC to assassinate a Congressperson or a Justice, the President could pardon everyone involved and there would be *no* legal liability for anyone

I would also like that generally, but I think recent evidence has proven that "don't elect bad leaders" cannot be the only safeguard in the system.
