Broke: DOGE is dead
Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity
Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

This is one of the most wholesome documentations of what is happening with the US immigration system and how the government and people who took an oath to keep the Constitution and laws above everything are failing on all counts and how traumatizing this is in every way.

Fuentes had dinner with Trump. All these folks are Christian Nationalists, they all think immigrants should be terrorized, they all preach ”great replacement” conspiracy theory, they all rant about Soros. The ”distinctions“ between them are without difference.

This is an absolute beast of a piece - 10,000 words, deeply-researched, exhaustively-explained - but I think it will end up being one of my most consequential works.
Premium newsletter: Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft need $2 Trillion in AI revenue by 2030 or they've wasted their capex. The massive cost of building data centers and constant decay in value of expensive-to-run GPUs may make AI profits impossible to achieve.

It is painful to watch Sam Altman at OpenAI DevDays with his monotonous speech and robotic movements. I remember watching product launch events with joy. Speakers were alive and keeping the audience engaged. Today, almost every event goes boring, including Apple's.

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

If you refuse to do so, you are probably not a true professional, but opted to be either a hobbyist or someone who voluntarily retired from the profession, or plans to retire real soon.
Both are fine - but don't be surprised if those looking for true professionals pass over you.

My advice:
Being a true tech professional means you keep your toolset sharp, and up-to-date. If you refuse to do so, you are probably not a true professional, but (cont'd)
