achandlerwhite··on Port of Los Angeles says shipping volume will plummet 35% next week
I wouldn’t say extremely critical of Trump. He brings half of it on himself. Simply reporting what he says and does that makes him look incompetent is not being particularly critical.

Are their shareholders fine with that?

No they didn’t. If anything it was being discussed and most likely only for Amazon Haul, which is not normal Amazon.

That said I wish they would.

They might once they are off Qualcomm modems (the new 16e is now an Apple modem). Qualcomm charges them a royalty fee per device sold.
achandlerwhite··on US government struggles to rehire nuclear safety staff it laid off days ago
I’d say the general public got sick of the strawman version of the democrats presented by Fox News and other right media. The disinformation was epic.
achandlerwhite··on Trump administration to fire thousands at health agencies
Or: imagine how much worse it would be had we never had these agencies?
achandlerwhite··on 75K federal workers accepted 'deferred resignation' offer
In some ways debt can make us stronger. We issue bonds which the entire world wants to buy. This isn't like your household credit card debt. This is debt that fuels growth and investment in the United States. Partially, because of this we don't have to carry reserves of foreign currency or peg our dollar to another country. I don't know what the right amount is but low interest rates indicate the market does not consider this amount of debt to be problematic.

A better question is: what are we getting for our spending as a nation? Rather than pearl clutching at the amount.

Or its just everyone who accepted a federal job to put food on their family table or to perform public service. It's all federal jobs, not just health as in this article, where those that are hired within the last 1-2 years are being summarily fired. Without consideration of performance or need.

Also he got less than 50% of the vote.
achandlerwhite··on The young, inexperienced engineers aiding DOGE
They would have to reverse the deficit to start reducing debt and that is unlikely with a cost cutting approach.

What’s your take on the role of government at the federal level?
achandlerwhite··on AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux
On many games I have tried DX => DXVK => MoltenVk => Metal is significantly faster than DX => D3DMetal. For example XCOM2 is about twice the frames per second (yeah it has an official Mac version but it is even slower).
achandlerwhite··on AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux
Hi, is there a plan to submit these changes back up to MoltenVK?
achandlerwhite··on AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux
The Mac efforts rely on MoltenVK for and Vulkan needs which itself relies on the underlying Metal API. As I understand it Asahi/Honeykrisp driver for Vulkan does not rely on the Metal API so it actually can do more conformant Vulkan than Crossover/Whisky can. For example tranform feedback and other geometry shader stuff will work on Asahi. MoltenVK is working on it, but not there yet.
achandlerwhite··on AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux
Perhaps, but also geometry shaders are generally losing popularity and on their way out. Per google ai search result (for what it is worth):

Geometry shaders are generally considered less necessary in modern graphics pipelines due to the rise of more flexible and efficient alternatives like mesh shaders which can perform similar geometry manipulation tasks with often better performance and more streamlined workflows

What from this article leads you to believe that?
achandlerwhite··on She was accused of faking incriminating video of cheerleaders. Nothing was fake
The bigger story is how the DA and police ran with the ludicrous deep fake angle with zero basis and ruined this woman’s life.

The anymore texts weren’t threatening in my opinion. Literally trying to make parents aware of what their children were doing. Not sure why she sent it anonymously though, but that’s not a crime in of itself.

They compared them in terms of perf/watt, which did hold up, but obviously implied higher performance overall.

Maybe try arbitration?
achandlerwhite··on U.S. Debt Interest Payments Reach $1T
From an interest payment perspective that would be just fine. From a money supply perspective not so good, but that's not what this article is about.

Ive heard 1.2 of Vision OS has nice boardgame like experiences.
achandlerwhite··on Auth0 OSS alternative Ory Kratos now with passwordless and SMS support
So they had weak passwords? Or were their accounts recovered/reset via SMS which is prevalent but not 2nd factor login.
achandlerwhite··on Auth0 OSS alternative Ory Kratos now with passwordless and SMS support
I think it’s biggest problem is when used for account recovery and password reset, not login 2nd factor.
achandlerwhite··on Auth0 OSS alternative Ory Kratos now with passwordless and SMS support
This. I wish this distinction was recognized more.
