Yeah, we gotta make sure that the Pharmaceutical companies have a great source of cheap PhD labor. /s I wonder how all the PhD’s that spent 10 years of their life and can’t find a job feel about that?

So you don’t think that some of the money that gets sent to athletic directors to build fancy stadiums and pay for multimillion dollar coaches would’ve gone possibly to research facilities if those athletic departments didn’t exist?

Since when is it required that all the money in a budget be spent? Amounts are budgeted for a division and then it’s up to that division to operate within that budget. It doesn’t mean they have to spend every single dollar in the budget. In

And yet everyone was arguing recently about how amazing Deepseek was because they operated on such a smaller budget and how the restriction of chips into China forced them to find an efficient solution to training an LLM model. Sudden and d

Many people are more concerned about the messenger than the message. They’ll flip-flop their opinions solely based on who is doing the bidding. A glaring recent example. If Biden had taken action like Trump has to negotiate with Russia to s

Boeing and GE are inappropriate comparisons. Their cost-cutting maneuvers were primarily driven by moving existing, quality work to overseas contractors. It was simply about saving money without worrying about efficiency or long-term benefi

Interesting points. Totally agree with you on big tech companies simply treating fines as cost of business instead of operating in good faith within the confines of the legal requirements in the countries where they do business. The EU is f

Sounds like maybe you’re from Europe? And have a frustration with foreign companies in the US. This further demonstrates that globalism as we’ve seen it with “free” trade is largely coming to a new era with strong headwinds, and it’s not ju

OK, but React development is one of the simplest development tasks out there. It’s probably the most popular UI framework with the most data for the LLM model to generate off existing solutions. Low hanging fruit that also provides the leas

This is a reasonable take on the nonsense. “Look at the awful burden of spending $10 more a month on eggs is doing to the average family!” … meanwhile huge landlord conglomerates are colluding on rent prices (via third party apps of course)

How many eggs do most people even buy? Almost every story is talking about eggs and how much of a burden it is on the public, but what are we talking about here? I can buy 18 fancy Vital Farms pasture raised eggs for $12. How is such a smal

There is more than just “dead” virus in the vaccine. Byproducts like formaldehyde, antibiotics, aluminum, salts, soaps, and other adjuvants are present. Your simplistic and dismissive look at this issue is the one that’s arrogant. Hand-wavy
