In the article, they did not specify if the funding cut is a result of re-structuring direct-indirect cost ratio (essentially no research cut but the administration cut only), or the fund granted to a fewer researchers. If they actually rec

This is huge cut (saving about 4 billion USD a year). I wonder how it is going to affect the quality of research outcomes. It might actually improve research if it reduces the amount of time researchers spend on administrative duties direct

I see things done by DOGE are getting noticed. I vaguely remember that DOGE will be decommissioned around 2026 independence day I believe? I have no confidence in judging what the outcome might be at this point, so I will wait till the last

Because for some people, this is not a scientific peer-reviewed discussion, but rather typical conversation normal people have over dinner table with gut feelings and limited information. Just assume that "I believe", "in my

Do you have a published peer-reviewed studies on your method?

Is it proven method? If so, insurance should cover it so you don't have to pay subscription fees out of your pocket. If not, don't bother. There are thousands of services like this, and I have not heard any one of them that worked

Science is just a methodology to test hypothesis. It does not matter how you get the result as long as the result is empirically scrutinized.

The first thing that pops out on Google search of NixOS is "Declarative builds and deployments." What exactly is NixOS different from other distros, such as Ubuntu?

This might be due to my lack of comprehension, but your argument seems less focused and sometimes veers into broader concerns about government interference and semantic or technical arguments, making it somewhat less compelling in the speci

Pell grants are given to the students, but in order to become a student you first have to be accepted to a University. If no universities accepted you because of unfair admission policy, effectively the universities transferred the money fr

I am not sure where the line lies. If you fund a program that is not run by the government, say 100 billion dollars, should the government not "manipulate" how the program runs? I believe there should be some sort of accountabilit

On average I guess alumni contribute more through donation than they receive through the financial aids. I don't know the numbers on this topic, so please pardon my ignorance.

I don't think it is fair to accept Alumni as a sole recipient of lots of tax money for unfair admission.

I would very much like to get rid of federal funding for schools, and allow private student loan with the possibility of purging the borrowed money through bankruptcy procedures. I am not sure if such proposal is realistic.

The word "manipulate" is dysphemism for "audit" in my opinion. As I commented below, I don't care how the money is spent as long as it is THEIR money. The federal funding is tax payer's money, and it should be

I don't care how the money is spent as long as it is their money. But the federal funding is not; it is tax payer's money. Tax money should be allocated based on decision made by the congress, which is the will of the people in th

The problem with this approach is that the private universities still get benefits of federal funding through student aids and research grants. If no federal money was used for the undergraduate students, I would have no problem with this.

About a year ago (I believe), Sam Altman touted his mission to promote safe AI with claims that he has no equity in OpenAI and was never interested in getting any. Look where we are now, well played Sam.

Is this move possibly motivated by what Elon did at Twitter?

Haskell sounds like a good language to hone your programming skills. What kind of projects is Haskell suited for to get started (besides Euler project)? I use Python primarily for scientific research (mostly numerical computation).

If AI becomes good enough to replace software engineers, it has already become good enough to replace other brain jobs (lawyers, physicians, accountant, etc). I feel that software engineering is one of the very last jobs to be replaced by A

I really like this concept. I SSH to my university HPC to submit Python script for ML related work (sbatch script.py), and sometimes I edit a script with VIM. Now I can use Jupyter Lab on HPC with port forwarding, but it is not as convenien

I know this is conspiracy theory, but whenever "someone" tries to pass a regulation law in California, I can't help but feel that they are trying to inject bureaucracy into highly profitable industry to milk some money out. L

Can anyone tell me how much censorship grok has? I hate that many other LLMs have too much censorship.

This analysis might be selective and hindsight biased. Are there any cases where government intervention to slow or stop monopolies actually impeded innovation?

TBF, Elon has been running his other companies like he is running Twitter. Also, isn't it his prerogative to run his companies however he pleases as he is the CEO? If the shareholders are not happy with it, they can push him out.
