Orange man bad, republicans bad. Thanks for the info

I got about 7 tokens/sec generation on an M2 max macbook running 8-bit quant on an MLX version.

it goes to everyone (in varying amounts) who paid payroll tax when they turn 65. They get free health insurance too (Medicare).

poor people getting Medicaid are like 20% of the population of most states.

essentially we are promising everyone who turns 65 to get ~$800k in benefits, and this is simply not affordable.

None of that justifies the level of government checks they receive

It’s a bit crazy that the elderly are blocking data center buildouts while they also expect to collect a big chunk of everyone’s payroll. Pick your lane.

The federal government has become a machine to transfer the income of working people to boomers

Uhh dentists doctors and EEs are low effort jobs?

Yeah but the upside is that the elderly got to keep most of the federal tax revenue

HN has become much dumber as X became less censured.

Fine you can make do in the Congo with everyone else who disrespects borders

DOS still works

nope, I learned how to compute on the DOS command line

"But like people who are good with computers, the models want a terminal, not some candy ass iPad UI."

Giving functionally illiterate people computers with GUIs should be regarded as a mistake.

It’s not wild. Anyone with brains would think it is irresponsible to keep your secret token for publishing public release binaries accessible in your automation.

apparently PyPI supports "digital attestation" (signed binaries?) Was this package signed? https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/

ok but I'm willing to have occasionally poisoned water in exchange for an industrial society

please believe that I'm trying to be constructive and helpful with this response: the way that you phrased your question means that you ignorant about the legal basis for federal policing and federal criminal prosecution in America. Please consider studying this topic before commenting on it.

if you mean "ICE agents (as sworn federal agents) are not authorized by statue to arrest people for federal crimes, like entering the US illegally" you are simply wrong.

ICE agents, specifically those in Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), are federal law enforcement officers with statutory authority to arrest individuals for immigration violations, including criminal offenses such as illegal entry into the United States under 8 U.S.C. § 1325 and § 1327.

It is true that many immigration violations are administrative in nature but it doesn't follow that ICE are not police, nor are they not sworn to enforce all federal laws.

Congress has authorized ICE and Border Patrol to act as police forces on domestic soil

The author is using fancy words to say that communism is good

The real threat to democracy was the intense lawfare that Trump was subjected to

No the irony is that Trump lied about the oil - heavy sour Venezuelan oil is mostly useless to the US because we are awash in our own. He did it to experiment with “regime change light”

having reliable government IDs means that people will be inconvenienced

To get a real ID you need to prove your citizenship, which is usually some combination of your birth certificate and/or passport or other IDs. Not really a big deal

Terrible news, I prefer to buy US made chips if I can and Micron was a decent vendor

States will give you a real ID if you can prove you are a US citizen. This article is covertly trying to argue for easier travel for illegal aliens

in that case, such a company would be wise to include the fact that the "z1060" is a new CPU instead of failing to even mention what it is in their "new GCC port" press release page

ah so this is misdirection - what they are really showcasing is their own new FPGA asic

no the point is to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about their perceived political enemies

Right. My understanding is that military doctrine is generally to immediately attack when encountering an ambush. Presumably, that will throw your attackers off their pre-planned attack and help you regain the initiative. So you want a big enough defending team such that you can immediately assault the attackers while also retreating with your VIP simultaneously. For the counter-assault team, you want to suppress the ambushers as quickly as possible (get their heads down), thus the automatic weapons.

As int_19h points out, there are special-purpose weapons made for this (see "personal defense weapons") and they are likely what pros carry.
