At my daughter's high school, kids are expected to pay attention, take notes and get assignments done. There's little restriction on phone use unless the kids are explicitly supposed to be doing something else with their hands. Ki

I don't know enough about how ChatGPT et al determine what it is or isn't credible. SEO was a bit of a hack but Google has done an ok job of keeping one step ahead of the spammers. It's only a matter of time before nefarious

That's not what the article is about at all and also not true.

I think it's a misnomer that The Economy is a thing we created and it flows out of the government and federal reserve or whatever. Nomad hunter gatherers of the steppe are still beholden to the laws of supply and demand the same as a r

That's clearly just your opinion and it's not something that makes sense to me. Nor does it explain why their supposed disappointment translated into voting for known criminal and fraudster who did even less for anyone.

Checks and balances aside, a plurality of people voted for this. They saw Jan 6 happen. They saw all the lawsuits and criminal charges. They saw the impeachments. And they just want him anyway. It's been debated ad nauseum already and

The IP rotator was discovered in the analysis. The exfiltration of data was discovered by an NLRB employee and triggered the complaint. A member of their staff saw the spike in egress, found the source and that the audit log had been bleach

Surely Elez is currently reading this thread right now too. Probably reveling in the attention like all the juvenile hacker boys.

Except an exact location is given in the original text and there's definitely nothing there. Also the text says they ruled over lands that were known to the Greeks and they have no corroboration of an earlier dominant force or advanced

My former place ran a lot of RDS Postgres but also loved Supabase. It's more than just hosted DB because it has loads of value adds like web-based table editing, auth, edge functions, row-level security, easy hooks and triggers. We wer

There's certainly room to grow but I'm running Gemma 12b on a 4060 (8GB VRAM) which I bought for gaming and it's a tad slow but still gives excellent results. And it certainly seems software is outpacing hardware right now. T

I'm using 12b and getting seriously verbose answers. It's squeezed into 8GB and takes its sweet time but answers are really solid.

I recommend all 3 installments of Frog Detective. They are all short plays and zero challenges, just really fun writing and adorable characters.

The executive has discretion in how funds are disbursed, but they have to fulfill all the obligations laid out by Congress. Impoundment is expressly illegal, not just due to Article 1, but also the Impoundment Act to avoid any ambiguity. Th

President isn't CEO. Laws and budgets are set by Congress. EOs do not have the force of law and many have been invalidated by courts.

This is an absolute pittance compared to the total budget. And considering the current administration wants a $4T tax cut they are not interested in trimming the deficit at all.

They are using heavy-handed tactics. Per this article, the whistleblower was threatened. At the SSA, a 26-year veteran was dragged out of the building. Similar story at the IRS. DOGE has the backing of US Marshalls and the president. They c

Yeah this isn't purely a question of Harvard's P&L being dependent on subsidies. The money in question is grants attached to specific practices or research. The money isn't just gratuity for Harvard being so great, it&#x2

Everything is temporary. Very enlightened of Mr Lutnick to remind us as he wipes away the Mandala of American trade policy one more time.

The US is deporting grad students with visas and green cards. They are absolutely going after nobodies right now.

I doubt that was the intent. They are cancelling contracts willy nilly right now. NOAA is getting hit harder because of their association with climate science but this administration is not doing a lick of diligence on any of these moves.

Fed rate influences treasury rates, but it's not a direct impact. If creditors lose faith in our fiscal situation, rates will rise no matter what the Fed does.

Both would have to happen. There's very little slack in the labor market to absorb anything. Even if legal permanent residents take up manufacturing jobs, they'd have to give up whatever jobs they have now creating a shortage. And
