If they need more they can get an increase, what's the issue

It looks like USAID had 4B of the 40B budget actually reach endpoint users, which would make the overhead closer to 90% [1], not 97.5% like I originally estimated.

It's called the US Agency for International Development. Everyone seems to think "AID" is a word here. It is not, it is an acronym.

If you want accountability someone needs to have root access. If you don't want accountability, you are a politician getting kickbacks through obfuscation.

define "everyone" -- elected officials who are supposed to have oversight and insight into where our tax dollars are going? It's not like they're providing replicas over bittorrent.

Scenario: You give someone $40B to feed people, and $1B actually feeds them while $39B vanishes into overhead and ideological reprogramming. Then they tell you they need more. If this is success, what does failure look like?

Why do you want them to refuse audit requests? There is no upside to hiding egregious government waste other than paying politicians via kickbacks more than what is legally mandated.

You're all overreacting. This is a poster for a government agency. https://xkcd.com/932/

Minimizing government spending is a good thing. Bloated and inefficacious programs need to be scrapped. Optimistically, programs that do not enrich only the legislative class will spring forth due to the new demand for better audit trails/logs.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act makes altering a government database, even if left openly exposed, illegal.

Unauthorized access or modification of any government website, even if it is left openly accessible, is illegal under laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in the U.S.

It's just an information page about spending cuts, everyone in the thread is overreacting and embellishing.

It's just an information page about the cuts that have been made, 404 could have reported this to the admins first but needed the clicks...

So you're saying a spec [specification] is the solution to building programs.

Yes I read the parent comment, do you mean the two questions

  > Is it proposing to ban US citizens from reading research papers written by Chinese citizens?

  > Or from publishing research in places that might be read by them? 
  

Clearly, both are impossible to implement, wouldn't you agree? The bill talks about "AI products," as per the article, and that would be what a consumer uses, not what a researcher uses. Can legislators ban the reading of papers in America? There are 1st amendment issues there. But for protection against external states messing with our population, there's a different set of rules.

Interesting take. Therefore they needed a bridge between the deflationary BTC and a low-inflationary day-to-day note. Is there an obvious fix, my liege?

How is this confusing? China spies on you. If you use an app that's tied directly to headquarters, headquarters can read what you think.

This is amazing and I applaud your efforts. Perhaps the age of truly owning your peripherals, inside and out, is upon us.

Absolutely understand! Inflation economy and all, it's very helpful to know what suits peoples needs. Let me put some more work into the conversation modules and I'll lower the price starting February.

Thanks for the feedback! We will be offering more essential conversation modules for free. Out of curiosity, how much would you be willing to pay if I may ask?

Sometimes I ask GPT to run Bayesian analyses on varying hypotheses. I just did that for the several parent comments to see if we could get some reasons as to "why day trading doesn't work." Perhaps this will amuse you as well: https://chatgpt.com/share/67888cf4-1aa4-8011-b46b-77e5e9da12...

Physical books are still better than e-readers because you can put sticky notes on the pages, jump back and forth between pages quickly, and even start to know where pages are simply based on how many leaves/pages are split between your left and right hand. Textbooks are basically reference books, my favorite dictionaries I start to "learn by hand" to know where to flip to approximately to start my search.

That's weirdly ad hominem, clearly I meant LLMs. They gave it a basic algebra problem and it could do it if it had broken down a problem step-by-step in a similar way. What's with the attitude? Edit: I don't even know why I replied to your vitriolic nonsense, I even used LLM in the sentence preceding what you quoted...

The example in the paper using an plug-and-chug algebra equation, and the step-by-step process to solve it, reinforces the notion that LLMs can only reproduce recipes they have seen before. This is really no different than how we learn mathematics in school, the teacher shows a starting point and moves, step-by-step, to the end of the process. Calling this "Meta Chain-of-Thought" feels like an aggrandizement of basic educational process to me. Next we'll be labeling the act of holding basic utensils as Layered Physical Kineticism, or something contrived like that. In school this "Meta Chain of Thought" was called "Show your work." Is this really a "phenomena" that needs explaining? It might teach us more about how we achieve logical induction (steps of reasoning) but we are pretty deep in the soup to be able to describe accurately the shape of the pot.

that seems like a very convenient and lazy interpretation of what hacker news is for. a comment can be anything, including info that helps clarify what the original poster said. can we come to the forum in good faith, or is anonymity too tempting a mistress?

Sounds like Richness is an index in SQL terms. Would you agree?
