ICE has been around for over 20 years, yet only the last 2 have been problematic to you. Abolishing it seems rash

Agreed. But that’s different from the Reddit style “abolish ice” argument.

“Abolish ICE” doesn’t mean “fix its problems”.

No, it is a lack of imagination to think that abolishing ice is the only solution.

completely abolishing ice altogether, is functionally equivalent to having open borders, because they are the people who are supposed to be enforcing immigration law. “Abolish ice” is just as radical as advocating for open borders. How about we fix the problems with ice?

Agreed, but abolishing the agency task with immigration enforcement altogether means… We won’t have immigration enforcement

If there’s no immigration enforcement, that’s functionally equivalent to having open borders. It’s kind of what an open border is. Where is the false equivalency?

Realistically, do you think open borders is good policy?

Economic migrants are by far the majority in the US. In fact, economic migrants abusing “asylum” have basically made it impossible for the immigration authorities to have a sane asylum policy.

People are not criminals until they commit a crime

I think these are actually very expensive, particularly for Muse giving free access to the masses… These agentic workflows are just context burners

The pioneers used to ride those babies for miles!

Even sea anemones?

They also are big contributors to open weight

Hacking a Tonie box would be so awesome

Why is this a global config — shouldn’t this be configurable per customer?

I have an Israeli friend. His answer:

This result is exactly what the anti-Israel coalition wanted. They bet Bibi would go nuts and burn up the remaining global goodwill that Israel had, leaving them isolated.

This is not factually accurate to say they own most of Google, the most I’ve seen of the two of them combined owning presently is 12%

I charge mine on a 120 V 20 amp outlet in the US that was already in my garage… And it works fine for me

Yeah, but those places don’t have 24/7 solar energy

This is not a tariff issue, unbelievably, but one about reducing competition.

I’m not sure I’m following the argument here, because tariffs are all about protectionism, which is a form of reducing external competition

Yes, but the lag time is crucial. The NY Times estimated that China has 10% the compute capacity of the US. They may catch up, but by that time the US labs could have too much of an advantage

This isn’t exactly correct. Cancer is not (typically) caused by a single DNA mutation, but multiple accumulated errors.

This may not be true in all jurisdictions

Perhaps during various east Asian famines as well..

Honestly, no. These weird states of matter have extremely different properties to ordinary matter. Weird properties is how we get things like superconductors, magnets, semiconductors, photovoltaics.. so strange state of matter with weird properties could very well produce some magic

Also net population loss of working age adults via deportation and self deportation.

The objectives are wildly different.

Vietnam is more like asking the question, could the US Military occupy all of Iran? Which I think the answer is essentially No, just like Vietnam.

The strait is one small objective , and the US had lots of successes in Vietnam with capturing key strategic areas, they just couldn’t cover that into a successful occupation
