BREAKING WSJ: Trump has repeatedly promised his top administration officials pardons before he leaves office, according to people who have heard his comments. "I'll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval," Trump said in a recent meeting. wsj.com/politics/polic…

@PurensPhD @Jesse_Livermore @briangerard13 This was actually part of the original 12 amendments in the bill of rights (house would have 1 rep per 50,000).
It’s actually still pending ratification so the states can adopt it at any time.

@Jesse_Livermore @briangerard13 Best solution I’ve seen recommended is large enough congress, that each citizen knows his house representative—makes it so costly for the president to control enough individuals that the mash equilibrium lands elsewhere

The sad part is, the founders debated this very problem, and still ended up getting it wrong. Here's George Mason, expressing his objection, on behalf of Virginia, June 18th, 1788:

Statistically untrue. The military is largely from middle class backgrounds, and most people I've ever met in my Active time joined for the opportunity to see and live shit you won't see in any other job field aside from working for very specific US agencies.

A turned-off phone face down on your desk still reduced attention & processing speed ~10% vs. leaving it in another room. Presence alone = the invisible cognitive tax

@db80925499 @TechloreInc Veracrypt is open source, anyone can verify it for themselves and build their own copy.

@TechloreInc IIRC, one of the encrypting tools, Veracrypt or Truecrypt, was infiltrated by the alphabet agencies, correct? Are we sure that any of them are really safe now?

@JordyPooooo @PluginHyBrad No they didn’t.
They set fuel efficiency and emissions standards. Manufacturers responded by making more fuel efficient designs (which included auto stop start).
English
@PluginHyBrad Didn’t Obama install the start/stop feature on an engine to drive off-cycle credits or whatever they’re called? I am not mechanic but starting and stopping engine a bunch of extra times in the name of efficiency seems like stupidity showing up later when you’re engine breaks.

Fuck it, I’m going to say it.
Cash For Clunkers was good policy, and saved the U.S. auto industry. It had near-zero effect on the affordability of anything, and doesn’t affect the used car market today even a little bit. You just want to justify your racism against Obama.

I've begun to genuinely wonder if part of the reason self-driving capabilities aren't boosting Tesla sales more is that most people don't find having to drive their own car to be much, if any, of a burden.
Whole Mars Catalog@wholemars
Tesla needs to continue to evolve their Self-Driving pricing model to increase adoption. With a product this good, sales should be going vertical. It's time to ask some hard questions about what's not working. What do you all think?

You are supposedly a very technical person working at a silicon manufacturer but you are stumped at the first step you are supposed to do when using an Arch distro: Update your package manager database (sudo pacman -Syu)
The issue here though is that instead of looking up why or consulting an LLM (you work in AI don't you?) you're here on Twitter instead
And you say in replies "well a normal user shouldn't have to do this"
Okay. Then don't use Arch. Use Fedora, Bazzite, or whatever
(FYI CachyOS has a welcome screen app that has GUI buttons for you to do this)

Another day of gaming on Linux. Or at least trying. Trying to use CachyOS to get the "gaming packages" installed and it doesn't work. I guess I'll spend 15 minutes on fixing this in a terminal window.
English
@theterk @Theeze0504 How can you work in it and not know what sudo means?
English
@Theeze0504 I post these things because the average user isn't clued in on the complexity of Linux. For example:
What is sudo? pacman? Syu?
Why do I have to update the updater?
Why can't I just click a button?
These are all things on Windows I don't have to do to update the OS.

@New_York_steak @drsmithy @SeanCasten It costs about $800 to install a faster home charger and my electric company pays for the entire cost of it.

Fascinating and unsurprising. EVs could easily be the next chapter of the Innovators Dilemma. Better performance, lower maintenance, competitive price. Legacy companies doubled down on the old tech for too long, now just watching their market share erode.

how is that for spending $70,000?
English
@IsserSteve @SeanCasten These are all already solved. At least for Tesla.
English
@SeanCasten Three factors that slowed adoption of EVs that are being addressed:
1) reliability, history to give consumers confidence
2) range, batteries that provide similar range to ICEs
3) recharge, close to 100% in an hour
A problem in certain areas is performance at low temp.

“The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.” Cc @fordrs58
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86
JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next. Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades. George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks. The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order. No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide. A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute. The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no. The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@yousuckass63590 @sentdefender According to the reporting it’s because he’s pushed back against removing a few black officers from the promotion list.

@sentdefender Thats Army Secretary and ATF Director Driscoll.
Driscoll must be leaving on his own terms tbh. He's been a pretty decent pick.

Following today’s removal of Pam Bondi as U.S. Attorney General and last month’s replacement of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, several people familiar with the White House’s plans tell The Atlantic there are active discussions about other senior officials soon leaving the Trump Administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
