Agree the US government should contribute in some capacity. Agree they should be robustly funded to do this. But, checks and balances are also important, and when a node goes rouge or dark, the system must be fault tolerant and operate when degradation occurs.

400 Eur is pretty small, it rings true to me. Maybe not in literal costs, but 400 Euro of employee salaries is pretty low. Figuring out how to not store IPs but also be able to block malicious IPs probably costs at least 400 Euro in employee salaries.

At 40k EUR / year in salary, that's about 1.6 hours a month dealing with GDPR. That sounds about right; it's like 5 hours a quarter deploying anonymizers or updating code to export the data you have on people. I honestly expected it to be higher; I would have thought it was in the realm of 40 hours a quarter just doing mundane things. Auditing to make sure PII didn't sneak in somewhere, updating anonymizer code/deployments and reviewing the same.

> Profiles, which Bjarne et al have had years to work on, will not provide memory safety

While I agree with this in a general sense, I think it ought to be quite possible to come up with a "profile" spec that's simply meant to enforce the language restriction/subsetting part of Safe C++ - meaning only the essentials of the safety checking mechanism, including the use of the borrow checker. Of course, this would not be very useful on its own without the language and library extensions that the broader Safe C++ proposal is also concerned with. It's not clear as of yet if these can be listed as part of the same "profile" specifications or would require separate proposals of their own. But this may well be a viable approach.

As for blockchain and Web3 NFTs, SenseTask isn’t built specifically for that use case, but if you need document processing, classification, or workflow automation for smart contracts, NFT metadata, or blockchain records, we could explore how SenseTask’s capabilities fit your needs.

So if a presidential promises to execute all of his opposition in the legislature and execute the judges that disagree with him and execute anyone in the bureaucracy that fails to obey his orders, and then he gets elected, and then he does those things, while blatantly breaking any and all previously passed laws that he cares to, is it a coup?
No disagreement there, it certainly helped lose the election. That still doesn’t mean the two positions are equal but opposite. For example, when Biden was elected there wasn’t a Cmd + F across the federal government for “Latino”.
I don't think people aren't aware that it's bad. They just don't care enough. And they think "I could keep all this money safely in my mattress or I could put it into one of those three big banks!" ... Or something like that.
> It has no native DOM API bindings so it takes even more ram and cpu to compile and run JS quickly.

By this, do you mean something like a C/C++/Rust API to the DOM?
I assume that federal employees are also allowed to disobey "obviously illegal" orders, but I suppose the difference is that they can be retaliated against. Its odd that the president can act out of his authority and make orders that illegal, but still be able to fire the people who won't do those things.

In the case of USAID workers, its entirely possible that the organization will be explicitly NOT under executive authority (my understanding is that they are a legislative branch creation).... but I guess the executive branch can still order them to stop working and return to the US?

>or paying netflix to license their technology

Does Netflix license their technology to anyone? I know of examples like BAMTech, although I don't even know if they still take on outside clients or just do Disney now. I get that their might be good options to license and that fewer companies should build crappy in-house products, but is Netflix one of them?

From Netflix's perspective, it's not clear to me that the payment for licensing technology to e.g. NBC is worth it, versus hoping that they end up with an inferior product, especially when they're competing with each other for customers and licensed content.
I understand your statement in the de facto sense, but I think the position is still legally authorized by Congress, and thus does exist de jure.

I suspect that after all these cuts, they're going to realize that some of these things actually are required in order for the American people not to complain too much.

I just remember in Trump's first term, and this is something that has stuck with me since, was how he promised, on day one, to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act, only for a few weeks after taking office saying "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated" [1]. It was funny, because pretty much everyone but Donald Trump knew that healthcare could be extremely complicated. The ACA was not repealed, at least not completely, nor was it replaced.

I think a similar thing might happen in a month or two; these departments are going to be cut, there will be lots of delays and complaints and eventually Trump will go out and say "No one knew that these government services were actually necessary". Then they might have to rehire a bunch of the people that left.

That's my hope anyway.

> In France public service employees have a very high level of protection (they're very hard to fire), and are legally allowed to disobey "obviously illegal" orders

This would seem to imply that a French public servant who obeys an "obviously illegal" order is both knowingly (it's obvious) and willfully (there's no requirement to obey) breaking the law.

What are the penalties for that?
I'm guessing you meant the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, not the National Reconnaissance Office. Considering that since the NRC was created in 1975, no nuclear plant license initially submitted to them has begun commercial operations, I think it would be difficult to further impede progress.[1]

I have no clue whether these buyouts will be beneficial or not. It really depends on how government responsibilities are structured. If everything operates under the same rules but there are fewer workers to process everything, then it will hurt economic and technological growth. If, on the other hand, there is a lot of dead weight in these departments, or the rules change to streamline certain processes, then it could be a net improvement. It will probably be years before we have a definitive answer. And as you say, it will probably be different for different parts of the government.

1. Some new nuclear power plants have come online since 1975, but they were all from licenses that were initially submitted to the NRC's predecessor, the Atomic Energy Commission. Also the NRC did approve two new nuclear reactors at an existing plant, and those did begin commercial operations 19 years after the license was applied for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogtle_Electric_Generating_Pla...

https://www.usaspending.gov/explorer stopped working, but I did comment on some of the costs here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42562822

Medicare and Medicaid is the single biggest cost--it's quite large in fact--but paying for the actual services (private services) is where the bulk of the costs comes from.

The actual fat is private industry over-charging and over-billing Medicare and Medicaid, but this is the same parasitic problem that we see in private health care in the US.

Why? Because of regulatory capture and lobbying by the health lobby; the same lobbyists who also double-dip by having both employers pay for the plans as well as having the insured pay out of pocket through "high deductibles".

This is the "fat" that MAGA politicians refuse to touch, because they're just as corrupt as every other politician in the so called swamp.

You don't have to follow hype when doing frontend, you can pick whichever technologies you want and stick with them for years.

Part of being a good frontend lead is personally is not falling for the hype, and only adding packages I know will a. be supported for the foreseeable future, b. have an exit plan if those technologies aren't supported, and c. keep an eye on my juniors/seniors to make sure they're writing sensible long-term code.

The gnashing of teeth over the "upgrade cycle" I think speaks to poor team planning/leadership than it does for the actual tech now.
You say that, but just wait until they unionize.
Sure, but even in a normal situation, all the Union can do is provide greater resources to initiate legal and possibly work actions. Which, in a normal situation might be very effective.

This is NOT anything resembling a normal situation; to treat it as such is merely an exercise in normalcy bias.

Under an authoritarian regime, as is being setup as we type, legal actions are irrelevant as the judicial and legislative branches lose independence and serve the executive. Work actions likely result in the union being decertified and dissolved.

I can easily conceive the danger. But I can directly observe the danger that's causing traffic to be so centralized - if you don't have one of those providers on your side, any adversary with a couple hundred dollars to burn can take down your website on demand. That seems like a bigger practical problem for the open web, and I don't know what the alternative solution would be. How can I know, without incurring any nontrivial computation cost, that a weird-looking request coming from a weird browser I don't recognize is not a botnet trying to DDOS me?
I definitely guessed the last one correctly, because it was obvious to me, as were nearly all of them.

> You can use publicly available stock price data to check how much [Mark Zuckerberg's] investments in the 'Metaverse' have hurt his net worth.

Who has sold at least $20bn of those stocks, which alone would result in him still being in the top 100 wealthiest people. What a weird person to use to exemplify your point
And you have to remember it was only starting to ramp up. The cost per taxpayer would be expected to go down as the program moved from development & scale-up to being the standard solution.
Correct, it's with batching Vertex pricing with slightly lower output tokens per page since a lot of pages are somewhat empty in real world docs - I wanted a fair comparison to providers that charge per page.

Regardless of what assumptions you use - it's still an order of magnitude + improvement over anything else.
Well that depends on what you're trying to prove. If you think it's a copyright violation to include the articles in the dataset _at all_ then it doesn't even matter if ChatGPT can produce NYT articles, it's a violation either way. If including the articles in the dataset is not in-and-of-itself a copyright violation then things get complicated when talking about what prompt is required to produce a copyright-violating result.

As others have said, ask your doctor, but also 5mg/day is a really low dose… 20mg/day is around the bottom of the usual dosage range; your doctor may just tell you to cut your pill in half for a few weeks to a month and then discontinue, and at that dosage you may have no noticeable change at all.

Whenever I’ve come off SSRIs the there have been no withdrawal symptoms, but that’s always been with very slow reduction of dosage over 1-2 months. The one time I came off without a doctor I doubled that reduction time, just to be safe.

In my experience it’s not mood changes or obvious withdrawal symptoms to look out for, it’s side effects you’ve gotten used to going away (dry mouth, sexual issues, appetite changes).
