@senmiltonyoung.bsky.social Senator, does Tafoya win? If she does, are there enough wins left for Ds to win the Senate?

PIMCO: “.. A blue wave? .. it is not surprising that more folks are wondering whether it could be a wave election or not. .. .. average polling has Democrats up in 8 of the 9 races, and if that were to translate into wins, Democrats would win the Senate by +2 (52-48).” [Cantrill]

@senmiltonyoung.bsky.social Senator, if the Ds win the Senate do you think we will see any R resignations? I can't see Thune sticking around in the minority.

@dicknixon.bsky.social it innoculates the Ds in the Senate and would dare the Rs to change Senate rules setting up the Ds to run on and do the same in '28. Thune will try to say the it wouldn't matter to change the rules because the Ds control the house, but pressure will be high to do someting.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Mr. President, I wanted to run some of my analysis by you. I think the Ds would be better off if they can get Senate 50-50 or 51-49. Let the rough and tumble D House do their oversight when they're in the majority. Fetterman (Manchin-lite) would be a nightmare to deal with.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

When I was earlier in my career, I remember feeling so upset when I had an idea and someone else had the gall to research and write about it before me. And then I realized that the “having the idea” was not the work.

This is a great history lesson on the mispricing of labor as technology cuts costs. I’ve written how hourly billing fields are in an interesting spot when AI does hours of work in minutes. How long until clients figure it out? This article argues software development faces this given Claude Code.

OpenAI announcing “$110 billion” in new funding, leaving out that $35 billion of Amazon’s $50 billion is contingent on an IPO, and the $30 billion each from SoftBank and NVIDIA is paid in installments. Anyone reporting this as fully closed is wrong. It’ll happen anyway. openai.com/index/scalin...
OpenAl and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today
announced a multi-year strategic partnership to accelerate Al innovation for enterprises, startups, and end consumers around the world. Amazon will also invest $50
billion in OpenAl, starting with an initial $15
billion investment and followed by another $35 billion in the coming months when certain conditions are met.

I’m going to say this louder for the people in the back, the “AI productivity boost” is that it helps you get to a first draft faster. LLMs are not good enough for you to not review the output and just publish. If they were then your job wouldn’t need you anyway.

Mac Randolph
RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad's final salut at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to "fight the good fight"
