You're right: nobody's doing ML these days. /s
Look at the value of a single website with well over a million users where they publish and run open-weights models on the regular: back in August of 2023, Huggingface's estimated value was $4.5 billion.
You do know that they want to drastically simplify the tax code, correct? From @DOGE itself:
In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code.
Today, there are more than 16 million words.
Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year.
This must be simplified.

And if they do know, they may just say "Well, there was nothing I could have done."
The article admits "Yes, burn-in still happens".

Every day, I'm impressed with how detached from reality people like you are. A society where public capital punishment is a weekly family event? I guess I missed that policy bullet point under "secure the border."
Your absurd fear-mongering only produces more totalitarian outcomes for the US--due to justifications for totalitarian actions based on lies.
If you seek the destruction of the US, as many do, that behavior would make sense. If you're a US citizen, you're creating your own hell.
When their own political allies make their own gains, whether its by corruption, violence, intimidation, lies, defamation, or destruction, they will hide those actions, declare you should be outcast (or worse) if you believe they took place, or declare those actions were just and necessary.
Wait until the cycle begins again, and when your country has to experience more mass riots, destruction, and unrest. Don't worry: the Right People™ can always stop the pain--if you let them have power.
Maybe I was being too equivocal. The parent commenters /do/ believe the developer is receiving preferential treatment based on one aspect of their declared identity. And it's not hard to share their sentiment: what warrants a thin Python wrapper library, which does not really bring new capabilities itself, receiving $20k when there are many other projects which could make an even bigger impact with that money? It seems unusual to me. Especially when considering they were choosing from a pool at GitHub scale, which is about as diverse as it gets in the open source software community.
I don't share the belief that "non cishet/white" people are unduly denigrated when they achieve success--not more than any other person on average, anyway. In fact, I see quite the opposite: there's tremendous amounts of pride when "non cishet/white" people achieve success.
eg. on Biden: https://news.yahoo.com/the-inside-story-of-how-biden-promise...
The promise of the superficial characteristics came first. Then a solution (a candidate, in this case) was chosen from a limited solution set
When people do things like this, they make it clear they don't want optimal outcomes, with regards to performance and the like. They make it clear that other, superficial, characteristics carry greater weight.
This hurts any functioning society, certainly in the long-term. However, some people want that--for some societies.
>> Last week Twitter was supposed to break in a couple of days > I did not see anyone make any such statements. Who are you referring to?
So I answered that poster. I provided the parent comment with some avenues for witnessing a small sampling of the lies and fear-mongering about Twitter. For example, if you spend some time at my last link, a Twitter search page, you'll find one possible search query that results in statements of the kind the parent comment asked for. For example:
> Staying on twitter until it breaks, but make no mistake— it will break (World Cup tweets alone…).
> If no big news story breaks this weekend I suspect Twitter will crash on Monday, sometime after 8am when England scores their 1st World Cup goal. I read that Twitter staff would have watch parties for WC traffic & pray for no goals so there'd be no cascading server failures.
> Twitter will break next week. The World Cup is the #1 driver of social media posts - by ALOT - and would stress a system at full functionality. Twitter is going down faster than Neymar.
> I don’t wanna stir fear but a site like Twitter having a skeleton crew running it means that 100% shit will break. Oh and the Qatar World Cup is coming soon, Twitter may not be able to cope with that (if Steve broke Twitter then the World Cup for sure will)
> Predictions are that the World Cup traffic will likely “break” Twitter.
> The World Cup is gonna kill Twitter
> The World Cup will break Twitter, probs
And from the first link I posted, a news article:
> the 2022 FIFA World Cup over the weekend. It has historically been one of Twitter's busiest events, when Tweet surges heavily stress its systems. "It does look like he's going to blow up Twitter," said Robert Graham. > "I can't see how the lights won't go out at any moment."
Again: *etc.* There's plenty more out there.

> Your comment says people said it should break by now. That isn’t the case.
Wrong. My comment does provide evidence of people saying it should break (have broken) by now; it gave the parent commenter the exact information they requested: people saying it should break "by now"--days prior to the world cup.
Also, I said nothing about what "most people" are saying. Although, now I would expect you to provide evidence for your assertion. I'd like to see evidence that "most people" are saying it "may" break in the "near future."
I expect goalposts to continue to move, so your comment is not surprising.
> Why do you have loyalty to someone who doesn’t care about you — Elon.
Whoa. That one came out of nowhere. I'd like to know what you imagined I wrote in my first post that signified I'm "loyal" to Twitter's new owner.

etc.
Typical fear-mongering. From many of the same people who claim "the other side" fear-mongers.
Quick: better move to my social media platform... I heard Twitter is failing.
Meanwhile, Twitter is at record-high usage.
The problem is that crime is not being prosecuted as it should. The fault lies with the DA's office. Any other "solution" you offer will not actually resolve the effects of the problem until that problem is solved.
Once that problem is solved, I can guarantee you will see arrests increase. Maybe you're one of the ones who don't want that?
