the deal fits a pattern in the Trump administration where the president urges companies to take measures, such as domestic investments, for example, to prevent the imposition of tariffs in an effort to bring in jobs and revenue to America.

So they will be exempt from the tariffs if they just pay the 15% sales tax directly to the Fed?

freedom of expression

I don't believe that it is a constitutional right to live in a neighborhood that will permit you to operate a chop-shop in your overgrown yard.

If we were to gift this in the most optimum way for a person who would actually put this machine into service

Like "gift it to Africa" where we send them a crate of useless computers with a note "you guys will love these! it's what I used as a kid (40 years ago)."

It's amusing to me that you're getting crushed on here for blocking/ "defederating" known IPs that you don't want traffic from, but I would bet that these same people would champion your right to do the same if you were blocking a spammy mastadon or lemmy instance that you didn't like!

He came slinking back just like they all did. Removed the mastodon link from his profile so they would unban his account.

Rust is by far the more mature option if you're really trying to replace C++. Zig is personally interesting to me though. But if you need to write actual production critical code then you should definitely go with Rust.

Honestly, it's still a little bit surreal to me that I won't even consider C++ now for a new project after so many years of my career.

I don't know if it's Gen Z specific but I think people now just have a very difficult time interacting with strangers in public. It's kind of a bizarre phenomenon of the digital age.

I'm not even allowed to use it _at my own risk_

Obvious hyperbole, but:

There is no such thing as "at your own risk" in the EU. It's a Nanny State. Brussels knows best what's good for you.

It would be one thing if the heavy-handed, often premature, EU regulations were in some way intended to foster production of its own technology companies to compete at large scale in its own market. But we all know that doesn't happen. Any European with an entrepreneurial spirit is all but forced to go start their company in USA. It seems like anything that appears potentially useful but has undefined or unanswered legal questions is just banned before anyone can figure out what the actual problems are. Sigh.

I think the main issue is that the EU is very quick to regulate before it even fully understands the problems or what the potential consequences of the regulation would be. The cookie banners were an absolutely obvious outcome. And we're seeing it again right now with their draft AI regulations before anyone even barely understands what it is or what the problems are.

It's why EU simply can't produce anything useful at all because any European with a spark of entrepreneurial spirit goes to USA to start their company.

I would suggest that EU should produce it's own AI company to compete at that scale in their own market but we all know that's not going to happen. Just get angry they can't access the American companies technology anymore.

At this point the US government/IRS has got to be the largest holder of crypto in the world.

You're supposed to care about all the poor souls that can't code and feel guilty that they have no opportunities whatsoever in the future when machine automation and AI drive the economy.

Yeah I'm curious too. It seems like if there was actually some commercial benefit to this then USA would be dropping rovers on the moon every week. But it's mostly lost interest now.

It's going to be an uphill battle just to get people to even understand what the problems are. And this is even a technical forum. Now imagine trying to explain these nuances to a judge or jury.

The slowness and deliberateness of USA regulators to respond is what has enabled the worldwide crypto economy to flourish in the first place. You think they should have just banned it CCP-style?

This is more akin to "You can have your fun but don't go crazy. But as soon as we start seeing your investors getting scammed we're going to step in."

China has outright banned it at various times. USA has taken legal stances against things like tornado cash, but never anything close to the broad strokes of banning that the Chinese government has done. If anything the slowness and deliberateness of USA regulators to respond has enabled the entire worldwide crypto economy to flourish.

So China is now going to "roll out the red carpets" for crypto exchanges? Yeah right.

Their nanny state is leaking.

Yeah they have Amazon Linux which is their own fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

As another commenter mentioned, MS' customers are running Ubuntu on Azure en masse. So it's mostly a risk mitigation and "owning the platform end-to-end".

It's because web tech itself is crappy and the ecosystem surrounding it is a complete cesspool.

This entire post reduces to:

    insert into users (id, created_at, username) values ("<id>", "<created_at>", "Hello"), ...15,000 times.

It seems pretty brittle to me also. And their solution is to actually _proxy_ OAI's API wholesale which doesn't seem like a very good idea and might not even be permitted.

People always ruin everything just for the fun of it. Use it while you can. I doubt chat gpt is going to be around for much longer.

I don't know the details of how Heroku implements their hosted postgres service, but I'm _guessing_ that it's just a bunch of PG servers running on EC2 instances. There's probably a lot of CPU stealing "noisy neighbors" going on. But yeah, I've also experienced Heroku's PG databases being dog-slow compared to RDS for the same workloads.

That's a big yikes...

People always ruin stuff like this just for fun. Hopefully the OpenAI folks are learning and can keep it going. But yeah, I worry that ChatGPT isn't long for this world.

I don't think that excuses the poor attitude. Honestly, that job sounds like burnout city.

Boy you people really love banning things don't you. Why on earth would you _outlaw_ people from being able to see their private, for-profit family doctor.
