Then let Trump fire them! The Republic is designed to protect and preserve the rights of its citizens. That government workers have consciences is a feature, not a bug. The machinery of the American state is built on the voluntary cooperat

Except... Most companies offer products built in multiple languages. Google notoriously has a multilingual monorepo and a uniform build system. Every company of non-trivial size uses multiple languages. Even Asahi Linux does! Polyglot pr

I love it when people smugly post econ opinions that fly in the face of consensus with zero evidence. Dude, the "business cycle" is the natural consequence of speculatively allocating resources. Sometimes people do just overestim

If a dish at a restaurant quadruples in price, there will be fewer customers to order it - a LOT fewer, and probably enough to kill the business. The minimum wage is not a magical tool that causes money to appear in working class pockets.

If anything other than a small minority of people needed medical transcripts, sure! But for the remaining 99% of use cases, a fast and easy to deploy model is what's most useful.

YouTube has been making a few billion dollars a year in profit for a while now. Yes, network and compute is expensive, but when you are the size of Google the economics look a little different.

The difference between "social housing" and "luxury housing" is literally whether or not anyone is making a profit on it. A new apartment tends to be nice regardless of how its construction was funded. In places where s

The middle segment of the market 10 years from now is the same as the high end segment today. Obviously when people construct buildings, they put in the nicest viable finishes and decor. No profit-seeking entity goes through all the effort

Right, so that AI companies can freely throw this significantly more valuable training data into a model and then turn around and advocate for clamping down on the freedom of models.

This is a silly take. You mean to tell me that government workers support government work? Resignations won't be seen as a step back by conservatives up until their septic system fails and shit bubbles out of the ground or planes star

The exact level of detachment depends on how many cars Tesla sells. The company does actually have to show consistent sales or the bubble will burst.
