For those who want to read the Executive Order that changed the name, you can find it here:

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-01-29/pdf/2025-0...

At the top of Page 2 is this instruction:

Agency Heads shall take all necessary steps, in coordination with the USDS Administrator and to the maximum extent consistent with law, to ensure USDS has full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems. USDS shall adhere to rigorous data protection standards.

Lots of people are misreading this post.

The key phrase is LIFE Insurance, not HEALTH Insurance!

They are vastly different markets.

You don’t deny claims for life insurance as companies would do for health insurance. It’s a very different set of circumstances to have to deny life insurance.

I think an analogy that is helpful is that of a woodworker. Automation just allowed them to do more things at in less time.

Power saws really reduced time, lathes even more so. Power drills changed drilling immensely, and even nail guns are used on roofing project s because manual is way too slow.

All the jobs still exist, but their tools are way more capable.

Dang! Thanks for pointing this out.

I had to look SEVERAL times at your comment before I noticed one is an F and the other is a T.

This won’t end well. Although I like it conceptually, this few pixel difference in a letter is going to cause major problems down the road.

The Llama 4 herd 1 year ago

If their knowledge cutoff is 8 months ago, then how on earth does Grok know things that happened yesterday?

I would really love to know that.

The deficit is 2 trillion.

Income taxes on individuals are 2.4 trillion.

How much do you expect to raise taxes to cover that gap? You double my taxes and I’m in the welfare line.

Further, and this is not referenced enough - the US must rollover ~9 trillion in treasuries this year. The lower the interest rate to do that, the better. Otherwise it increase the deficit even more.

The only way this ends is one of two paths - a path similar to what we are on; default.

We may not like this one, but default is world destroying because of the broad use of the Dollar around the globe.

No mention of LATCH theory? (Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, and Hierarchy)

Oddly, no matter how they are organized, their indices will always be a hierarchy (tree).

Personally, I think human brains just have a categorization approach that is built into our brains as hierarchy, so while other methods are definitely useful, they are an add-on, not a replacement.

I wonder.

People primarily communicate thru words, so maybe not.

Of course, pictures, body language, and also tone are also other communication methods.

So far it looks like these models can convert pictures into words reasonably well, and the reverse is improving quickly.

Tone might be next - there are already models that can detect stress so that’s a good first start.

Body language is probably a bit farther in the future, but it might be as simple as image analysis (thats only a wild guess-I have no idea)

That’s fair.

Grok3 has been amazing, but it keeps on wanting me to do dark mode for an app I’m creating. When I finally said yes, it wasn’t able to get dark ode to work, despite multiple tries. Was funny tbh.

I think it’s partially there:

For creating website (not apps) it absolutely is there. This is just the first rung on the ladder though. It’s not doing Linux kernel development yet, but that time will come eventually. In between are all the other rungs. AI will climb them one by one.

ACARS Drama 1 year ago

Did anyone else mistakenly read this as “LCARS” and expect something related to the Star Trek interface?

Clearly I need more coffee.

Having some issues with your numbers, but I’m probably just missing something…

If you insert 150K rows per second, that’s roughly 13 Billion rows per day.

So you’re inserting 10%+ of your database size every day?

That seems weird to me. Are you pruning somewhere? If not, is your database less than a month old? I’m confused.

That’s not the issue.

The problem is that Google owns both sides of the internet - the browser on your computer and the search engine to find everything.

As a result, they control your perception of the internet.

If a site doesn’t work, you as the user thinks the site doesn’t work. You don’t think oh, my browser is broken. Also, if you don’t find a site on Google the. To you, it doesn’t exist.

As a result, you have to bend your website to satisfy both Google search and Google chrome.

That’s why this is an issue. Because of those two things, Google effectively controls the internet, and you as a user or you as a website owner have essentially zero recourse when Google does something that harms you.

Apple M3 Ultra 1 year ago

Remember, that RAM is also VRAM, so 1/2 terabyte of VRAM ain’t cheap. By comparison, Apple is a downright bargain!

So, I was in a conversation with someone who made an interesting comment.

He said we have a gold reserve and that makes sense, but if we become interplanetary, then you don’t want to pay to ship gold to Mars. Crypto solves that issue. The reserve will last well into the future so preparing now makes sense.

Unique take to be sure, but sharing because it was interesting.

Ah Macron,… the guy who forgets why WWII started and how reparations can turn bad, asked for…reparations.

But Americans don’t understand history?

Macron is off his rocker going down that path given the history around it.

Germany doesn’t have hurricanes or wildfires. Take those out and I’d bet the grids are much more comparable.

PGE has to de-energize lines to prevent fires. Hurricanes just blow them down.
