The 2018 report is the least of our data security issues.

DOGE went and hacked back doors into all the systems and then loaded our data into systems where they could play with it. They didn't have to go through any interview process. Some had criminal records.

Because the GOP has convinced poor Americans that health care for everyone isn't fair to those who currently get health care tied to employment. It must be only the unemployed that need health care and the GOP considers the unemployed potential prison labor.

The GOP is calling for the end of IVF.

California colleges and many others were free before Reagan started charging in-state tuition.

Conservatives have waged a war on higher education that eliminated free college.

There are a few US states where tuition is free for some. The fees are often covered by lottery revenue. A much better use of the money than dumping it into the general budget or buying sports stadiums for billionaires.

I paid 100 dollars per credit for college capped at the cost of 12 credits.

Truth Social, Crypto, NFTs, a failed college, a failed modeling agency, millions in campaign funds to his family as consulting fees.

The US has had mail-in voting since the 1860s. Some states only do mail-in voting.

Stop the manufactured voting crisis that people are using to disenfranchise millions of Americans. American conservatives want to

1. Kill 150 years mail-in voting
2. Kill early voting,
3. Close polling places in minority districts
4. Make it illegal to help people get to polling places or hand out water while the poorer voters wait hours in line to vote.
5. Allow the state to throw out all the votes in the largest minority districts. Yeah, we're looking at you Texas.

The company decided this was easier than firing 10 executives and halting any kind of stock buybacks.

Microsoft's handling and burying of their knowledge of the Solarwinds attack vector while bidding on government contracts should be grounds for disqualification. There should be major penalties at the very least.

There are a lot of open-source models that could be retrained from scratch. The processes are pretty well understood.

Any country that can afford to do the training can create their own ai models.

They need a killer app or significantly better functionality to convert people to a subscription model. Just can't see it yet.

Their data center costs will possibly be significantly higher.
  All AI will have to be advertisement or subscription-supported.

If that was true then people would still be buying books.

My first home terminal in college had core memory and an acoustic coupler. The thing probably weighed 40 pounds. The last screen you were on reappeared when you plugged it in and powered it back up.

We did that with front panel switches. Somewhere I worked on a computer where the boot sequence was done with toggle switches.

Both products will be running the same instruction sets. Seems like Microsoft should be able to have a similar speed

The M2 and M3 CPU speed gains were mostly due to geometry reductions. That will run out of gas given the current fab limitations.

Apple put the graphics on-die. This has advantages and disadvantages. It will be interesting to see how far MS goes with integrated graphics. and what that means for AMD and NVIDIA (outside the AI space).

We thought social media, open access to information, and unfettered communication would shine light in every dark spot and democratize information and access.

We didn't realize it would provide an unlimited platform to the hate-mongers, misogynists, and bigots as well. It turns out people have no problem using this wide access to attack their neighbors and build stronger suppression tools.
