These agencies such as the Department of Defense, whose secretary is...?

The department's name is *legally* the Department of Defense. If they want to change it, they can go to Congress and do it the legal way. They have a majority. There's nothing stopping them except for their disregard for the sanctity of the law.

This should clearly be editable in a GUI somewhere.

This is why I said "decade" and not a shorter time frame. We're in the midst of some extraordinary times where things will shift quickly out of pure exigency. It's pretty clear that nothing can replace the dollar overnight, but most of the classic arguments in favor of it (stability , American military, etc.) are rapidly becoming obsolete.

This stuff is already happening. American Dollars have fallen from 66% of world currency reserves in 2016 to 56% last year and it's still going down. [0]

The Euro and the Yuan are the clearest contenders. Iran already trades oil in euros.

Obama had a nuclear deal with Iran. Trump ripped it up. This is not a "both sides" issue.

Yeah, it's hard to weep for American hegemony when it has mostly been used as a crude cudgel, but it's just a bit odd to watch an empire rapidly crumble in real time from the inside through such a shocking series of unforced errors.

There's something to be said about the fact that those who shout the loudest about "America First!" are the very same ones to blame for its inevitable demise.

At this rate, I can't see the petrodollar surviving another decade. Great job, Republicans.

The React Compiler does not remove the virtual DOM. You literally cannot use React without a virtual DOM.

This is a very confusing comment to me. How were people buying books from Amazon in the 90s if it wasn't e-commerce?

Yes, that's a single website that is fixed with an ad blocker. You have proven absolutely nothing. You are very bad at crafting arguments.

What has degraded? Name one single thing specifically.

Every aspect of web development is easier and better than it was two, five, ten, or twenty years ago.

Entropy is a fact, but whining about it without solutions doesn't help anyone.

Literally nothing has degraded. What in the world are you talking about? All of this stuff is optional.

No, I've never used the GUI version. I literally just had to close and reopen the terminal running the Claude Code CLI on my Mac yesterday because it was taking too many resources. It generally happens when I ask Claude to use multiple sub agents. It's an obvious memory leak.

The types of models you can run locally on that hardware are toys in comparison to the foundation models

No, they are describing a typical experience with the two apps. Just open both apps, run a few queries, and take a look at the difference in resource management yourself. It sounds like you have a bias of Claude Code over Codex.

This is classically called "Inversion of Control"[0] or the "Hollywood Principle"[1] as in "Don't call us-- we'll call you".

Google Search doesn't work without JS. I think we're actually moving in the opposite direction of what OP inferred. It's pretty difficult to reliably detect bots without using JS, and the vast majority of interesting client-side web applications are downright impossible without it. No amount of HATEOAS is going to make a usable version of Figma.

Yeah, this only gets interesting if they start contemplating native two-way binding, but that still wouldn't cover the vast majority of complex use cases that require computed values.

Luckily for me, I've always been too lazy to use the real Unicode version. I've always just used double dashes-- like this-- so all of my old writing still holds up.
