He's sending a message to the NEXT Fed Reserve Chair.

He does not need to send a message to the next chair, he will appoint an ally. He needs votes.

Autocrats need to constantly be sending a message: stay loyal or else.

More than voters, trump needs Wall Ttreet's vote, and they aren't having any of this.

Sorry, I was not clear, he needs votes on the fed board, not so much a message to the chair.

FWIW, Trump appointed Powell as chair.

He also appointed Mike Pence,who single handedly derailed his coup in Jan 2021.

He learned from his mistake, and this administration is much less prone to defect than the first one.

Not sure if this is the first state. Many other states have state-only-accredited law school programs.

It's a capacitor, not a battery.

They mostly only work on pre-mapped highways. They're also not commercially available.

There's currently no other DA other than Tesla's FSD available in the US that will work on city streets and highways.

I'm going to assert that Tesla's FSD™ does not, in fact work on city streets and highways.

Or, if you want to loosely define "work", Ernst Dickmanns had self driving in the 80s, and put in on the autobahn in the 90s. I'd rather define it more tightly as "statistically at least as safe to be in _and_ to be near, as a human driver".

Tesla claims to have achieved that, but I don't believe them. That's because the data they report 1) omits a fair bit of critical info, and 2) frequently changes definitions. Both serve to make comparisons difficult. If it was clearly safe, I think they'd put effort into making the comparison transparent.

Bear in mind that Musk has been claiming "Full Self-Driving" since at least 2016, and people involved have asserted that he wasn't wrong, he was lying.

I think WebAssembly could become that sandboxed solution. .NET Blazor WASM is moving away from mono to CoreCLR (just like Unity, with an early preview in late 2026). WASM now has really good SIMD support, native GC, large memory support, and with WebGPU we could finally see some native WASM games running at native speeds.

Wait, what, WASM has native GC now?

It's still not JS-level/JS-compatible GC (yet?) and it is still quite low level (more about corralling buffers of bytes than objects, a bit closer to OS-level page management than JS or C# level GC), as it is intended to be lower level than most languages need so that different languages can build different things with it. It is also a tiny stepping stone to better memory sharing with JS APIs (and the eventual goal of WASM "direct DOM"), but still not quite finished on that front as more steps remain.

Simply not true, this info is outdated by a decade.

CoreCLR NativeAOT is already shipping real games on Nintendo, PS5, and Xbox.

JIT isn't allowed on iPhones either, and this is what NativeAOT solves. Also, .NET is moving WASM support to CoreCLR (rather than mono) in an upcoming version as well.

Do you have examples? As far as I'm aware based on current info there's at least one current console vendor that requires all native code to be generated by their SDK.

Just don't ship to PlayStation and discourage others until Sony changes (is forced to) policy.

Capcom does, and they are quite happy with it.

I'm seeing that in the GRC industry where SaaS companies are getting churned out by an internal IT guy who automated their "Excel" as a database.

It was common in the early 2000s for big companies to have large internal IT teams to build "line of business" apps. Then SaaS came along and delivered LoB apps for a fraction of the price and with a monthly subscription.

Looks like we're headed back to the internal IT days of building customized LoB apps.

Or perhaps there will arise a new kind of external service provider that delivers customized SaaS services to those same users, using AI. There's no reason the work has to go back to the internal IT people who were fired long ago.

I think you're basing AI only on modern 2025 LLMs.

If there is a magnitude increase in compute (TPUs, NPUs, etc) over the next 3-5 years then even marginal increases in LLM usability will take white collar jobs.

If there is an exponential increase in power (fusion) and compute (quantum) combined with improvements in robotics and you're in the territory where humans can entirely be replaced in all industries (blue collar, white collar, doctors, lawyers, etc).

OTOH if there is worldwide catastrophic economic collapse due to climate change none of these things will get built.

In French we say "With "ifs" you can put Paris in a bottle."

Where does all the power come from? Compute increases have to has sustainable power source and we don’t have that.
