Too much democracy going on?

You do know how it became "GOP-controlled", right? By voters actually voting for representatives?

I mean if a colossus like Zig does this, well then ...

Really? If you don't search diligently enough for obfuscated malicious code first before using a tool on it, you deserve what you get?

10% is enough to get what you want? Whelp, seems fair, as long as you are on the correct, boffin-approved side, lol!

Oh lovely. I have a stalker now, lol

Can't argue with that, er, logic ...

I'm stupid because you think this guy is "in my head"? Okay, lol

(blinks) So the guy who replied to me ten minutes before you is just in my head? Who knew?

... who wanted to let freakin' Iran keep their actual weapons program, will claim to be worried about this.

Eh, only in the sense that literally everything is a "knock-off".

I mean, I didn't invent php. Or programming. Or API integrations. So whether I use an LLM to help me program a new integration with some obscure service, or whether I do it all myself, either way I guess it's a "knock off", in some sense.

And therefore ... what?

You want to lay them off "from the river to the sea"?

... a glorified multi-site CMS. Why would it need 5000 employees?

Ah, that explains the well known anti-porn stance here on Slashdot ...

Slashdot now the home of Luddites? "Why do we need a SPACE BASE?"
A lot of people write off space 'competition' as just militaristic dick-flexing.
You do understand where ICBMs came from? There isn't a serious question that space is absolutely now a context for global-state competition; it's not dick-flexing to recognize that this will shortly expand from orbital space to really the entire cislunar sphere.
It is, in fact, one of the generally-undisputed roles of government to try to recognize a strategic vulnerability and address it proactively.

Further - and this may end up getting modded to oblivion as recounting these facts is distasteful on /. -
SpaceX is multiples cheaper than competitives in launch cost per kg - $1500-$4000 vs $18k alternatives vs $54k NASA
To suggest "SpaceX is a slush fund from Trump to Elon" makes no sense. I want our govt to be using the CHEAPEST AVAILABLE LAUNCH capability. Are you asserting they shouldn't?

BlueOrigin is well behind but commercial launch development is *significantly* driving down costs, that's unquestionable.

As far as "publicly funded" ...would you rather it be a corporate thing entirely? Does that make sense?

"It's accepted that Lithium is not rare."
You and I and some may recognize that, but the media organs have been screeching for some time about China's "monopoly" on rare earths and the west's "vulnerability" for a decade or more.
I can't count the number of times I've had to explain that yes, in fact the US has world-leading deposits of lithium. (as much as 40 million tons of reserves. vs Chinas 10)

"this process is welcome. As it has a dramatic reduction in toxic residuals from processing"
Fully agree, this would be a wonderful opportunity. Not only does this absolutely mean less toxins anywhere, this would open the chance of actually doing lithium recovery domestically (it doesn't really matter how clean the process is, I expect crowds of Earth Firsters gathering to oppose any such industry, regardless; this would just mean it has a reasonable chance of moving out of the morass of environmental protests...).
