Get rid of FPTP and the Electoral College that enables a two-party stranglehold. If a vote for a third party wasn't a wasted vote, we could see nuanced parties and politicians emerge that don't have to tow a party line.
Ranked Choice Voting goes a long way to solving this as well.
Welcome to the reality of anything that Elon Musk has extensive control over.
SpaceX is useful because upper management actively subvert him. Tesla had a functional process before he decided to smear his face all over the public image of it. Twitter was one example of interesting architecture before he gutted it (and caused a LOT of problems; I'm informed about 80% of the infra he took out has been put back in).
He's the very real example of an accidental success without any understanding of why he succeeded.
I meant the article was dumb. The clickbait title on HN doesn't match the meat of the article.
Really? This is... dumb.
A very large library of premade charts for web. Probably the largest I've seen. Less customizable than chart.js, and D3 is more of a rendering library than a charting library.
I'd forgotten all about this library, its certainly come a long way!

This is a silly charade. To actually cut the debt, it requires congress. Not just saving a couple millions dollars and posting on twitter about it. We’ll need to cut Medicare, Medicaid, social security, the military, etc. All the popular stuff that was never easy and will never be easy to cut. We’re not spending 2 trillion per year on condoms.
or raise taxes.

This is tantamount to saying that the executive not only has a line-item veto, but that it's non-overridable. Seems wrong.
This planet money article lays out the arguments for both with lots of interesting links to follow. https://www.npr.org/sections/planet-money/2025/02/18/g-s1-49...

Funny, because AI has seen plenty of applications before ChatGPT, yet "the oncoming train" in most peoples heads is "this is going to completely replace artists, programmers, etc"
This is what is laughable, and has been from the very beginning. Will we _continue_ to use AI to try and find novel drug treatments? Yes. Will chatbots still be the first thing a customer support flow uses (and will it still suck)? Yes.
Well said.
In my experience Claude and Gemini can take over tool use and all we need to do is tell them the goal. This is huge, we always had to specify the steps to achieve anything on a computer before. Writing a fixed program to deal with dynamic process is hard, while a LLM can adapt on the fly.
