Not arguing for star courts. The UCMJ is a supplement to civilian courts, but applies additional levers. I am arguing that a similar system be applied to federal LEO. Right now they are only beholden to the civilian system. How is that going? Even if the administration prosecuted ICE for murder, it'd just get chucked out of federal court. All the 'officer' would have to do is not enter the state again.

Correct - and incoming POTUS will have to use up political capital to do so.

DHS has become what actual conservatives were worried about during its creation - super federal power without balance. There exists precedence within the US: the military. They are granted extraordinary powers at the discretion of civilian government. It employs Officers to manage it across branches, they are paid well, and their employ is terminated if their charges fail. If boots on the ground fail there is the UCMJ, which is quite happy to hold you accountable under 'conduct unbecoming' if any of the specific laws don't happen to pertain to you. The JAG handles prosecutions and you are judged by your peers.

In the case of federal law enforcement, I'd recommend they be generally charged with upholding specific general orders and tactics approved by congress. Make the statute of limitations 9 years. The jury should consist of federal law enforcement for fairness. But ultimately make them accountable to a specific federal justice system like the military does. Will all the wrongs be made right in real time - no. Will there be instant justice - no. It would hold people accountable, there would be a chance for someone to go to law school to right some wrongs.

Take a sabbatical if you can afford it and do random things. I'm in the US, so some of the things I've done - spent months through-hiking the Appalachian Trail, cave diving, camping, whitewater kayaking up and down the east coast. I needed another output and to put something besides work first. Work will always be there, and when I returned I found just working with other people more pleasant/rewarding.

If I have any hope for the future of America it is that the upcoming generation finds 'Industrial Society and its Future', and instead of becoming radicalized, simply turns its back on tech fetishization.

It isn't just that he made a killing — Osmani helped conceive a broader vision of blogging as a fusion of human in the center writing and AI agents.

I can't defend all the modifications, but let's take a look at why they may have felt the need:

> Men should express their appreciation of a woman’s effort to look well and dress becomingly. All men forget, if they have ever realized it, how profoundly women are interested in clothes.

> Mrs Lincoln’s jealousy was so foolish, so fierce, so incredible, that merely to read about some of the pathetic and disgraceful scenes she created in public – merely reading about them seventy-five years later makes one gasp with astonishment. She finally went insane; and perhaps the most charitable thing one can say about her is that her disposition was probably always affected by incipient insanity.

I think that's true for the tech & financial press, for obvious reasons. Outside of that bubble journalists and writers have been very anxious, given AI seems to directly threaten their profession even further.

Isn't this more or less what OpenAI was intended to be?

I've worked at a number of non-tech companies the past few years. They bought every SaaS product, Palantir, Databricks, multi-cloud, their dev teams adopted every pattern popularized by big tech and the results were always mixed. Any gains were wiped out by being buried under technical debt. They had all the data catalogs & 'ontologies' with none of the governance to go make it work. Turns out that benefiting from all this tech requires you to re-organize and change your culture. For a lot of companies, they're just not going to see big gains from AI or tech in general at this point.

There's just no path to home ownership in the DC area for the fed career path after the ZIRP era. A capable person would have to be insane or desperate given the economics alone.

This platform maybe. They always have the option of buying Google distributed cloud for air gapped deployments which includes gemini

These are the sorts of people that deserve national holidays. Many of them come from problematic background, or had problematic politics, but when it mattered they showed up.

Very cool, thanks for posting this. I've had a number of colleagues try to level up through programs like this with mixed outcomes.

Glad this made HN. Just wanted to thank you for writing, and I've ordered one of your books.
