Do you know that “overhead” costs are not equivalent to payouts to administrators?

They are not “running a business”. The American research Universities have been reaping great rewards for relatively small investments.

Do you know what “overhead” means in this context?

It seems Twitter is in a death spiral. That is the model to apply to scientific research and academia that has powered Americas dominance for the past 100 years?

THIS. I had to search this thread for Rick Scott. The sources of real fraud are promoted by Trump and Musk. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1855702328571253103

I hate to break it to, but this administration is not out to “fix all the obviously archaic systems in government” - they are there to destroy it. Think stripping out the copper wiring rather than doing a remodeling.

I often prefer code over math notation, but in this case, I find the math statement clearer - see Theorem 1 right at the start of this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.15882 The paper says the mathematician James Grim

Can't you just take DeepSeek and put it behind an API and get to the top of the benchmarks immediately?

Interesting that official site [1] doesn't even use the word "coin". Yes, it of course has all the disclaimers that it's not an investment. Also that it "is not political and has nothing to do with any political cam

Our insane spending on health care is independent from funding of scientific research, and only a small amount of your tax funds it (again - different than spending on "healthcare"). Being that country that makes scientific breakt

We had nearly a century of the best scientists in the world wanting to come to the US to study, teach, and work. To view this as America loosing and the rest of the world getting a "free ride" is pretty crazy.

The sister comment has a link. Maybe I shouldn’t say it can beat AlphaGo, but rather you can set up adversarial states that it is bad at.

I read something about Go - that very unusual (maybe even considered bad) playing could beat the super-AIs. They are so tuned to opponents in a "typical" style, that they don't know how to beat a player outside this distribut

I've learned about the USDS in the past on hackernews and was always impressed. If someone wanted to really make a "DOGE" in good-faith (i.e. improve efficiency of government instead of just destroying everything), I think it

It’s often cited that Twitter/X lost 80% of its value since Musk took over. Is this possible to confirm? If it’s private now, are there ways to judge its success or estimate its value?

Awesome. Good luck to you! I am also working on low-resource languages (in Central America, but not my heritage). I see on Wikipedia [0] it seems it's a case of revival. Are you collecting resources/data or using existing? (I see
