Marko - if you had a strong argument, you wouldn't have to resort to such crude commentary.
The Treasury Secretary explicitly said the goal was to get the 10-year treasury yield under 4%. He said tariffs were part of the plan.
The tariff announcements over the last 2 months have helped drive the 10-year under 4%. They called their shot and then delivered.
Trump & Hegseth are reportedly preventing law enforcement from investigating domestic terrorist attacks linked to the war with Iran. With public support for the war extremely low, the implication is hard to ignore. Historically, US wars tend to gain public support only after Americans believe the violence has reached their own soil. The "rally around the flag" that followed 9/11.
According to Pew, support for war with Iraq was around 15% before 9/11. After the attacks, it eventually climbed to about 75%. It’s unsettling to consider what people with personalities like Trump and Hegseth (men who routinely react to criticism with thin skin and temper) might be willing to "let happen" in order to transform themselves from insecure war crime architects into brave wartime leaders.
Had to look it up because it seemed to insane to be real
Yeah
Literally went in, stole a bunch of 9/11 documents and delivered them to Epstein
Got 2 years of probation for it (typically this level of espionage is considered treason)
WHAT THE FUCK
@lukecannon727@kdotcrypto there is data in that bucket but it’s missing some old fills - I could not find a source that contained every single fill since Genesis

You'll miss the American, who deals sharply but cheats no one, who is tougher than the thugs and cleverer than the tricksters, who says "I can do it" when others shrug, and who respects learning but is suspicious of those claiming to be learned, when the last one dies.
I'm skeptical of the "less safe but performant low level languages like C/assembly will become more prominent" take. If you need (e.g.) memory safety, either the type system ensures it for you or you (whether human or model) has to be careful/think about it at every relevant line. Models might be better at being careful than humans, but not infinitely so, and the extra reasoning effort to do so is a distraction from the real task.
There's another argument that you should just write the fast code in the unsafe language and do a bunch of static analysis/manual triage after to avoid the downside. This never worked that well when humans were doing it (forget to run, slow to slog through lots of false positives even when the tool is very good). At that point, why not just use the language that has the properties you want and fearlessly (h/t Rust) use your reasoning budget to make the code fast instead?
I think language safety, strong type systems, and other forms of ironclad guarantees that humans/models can assume without thinking about it are more valuable than ever. https://t.co/MeS3gFlKQP makes a good case
Openclaw founder reveals he almost deleted the entire codebase because of crypto.
"I didn't know that they're not just good at harassment, they are also really good at using scripts and tools. I underestimated those people. Honestly, I was that close to just deleting it."
Putting a generational talent currency trader in charge of the Treasury is perhaps Trump’s most genius hiring decision, and its consequences dwarf all the others in importance for the future of American power and prosperity.
