One small problem with that. Plenty of them would love to move to the US, however a core component of the Trump regime is to end immigration of any kind. Visas are being revoked left and right. Mass deportations. Banning of other visas. Insane border checks (5 years of social media plus personal info on all relatives). The Reich under Stephen Miller is gunning for their all white America.

Found the Reich winger. Please deport yourself, it would improve the economy. Russia is accepting meat for the front.

So, who pays for the deliveries to my house/city/state? I certainly won't, but I guess it might get filtered down in the prices paid for goods. At which point it just becomes a general stealth tax, since it encourages everyone to never drive, and just have everything delivered.

Actually, "sound" money by definition is unstable, and contributes regularly to economic collapses. Like the Great Depression ( a credit crunch, if they couldn't print money, it would've gone MUCH worse).

It was also founded on slave labor, did you miss Jim Crow (slavery by another name?). And as we found out, deflation... is rough. And let's not mention the rampant IP theft by the US.

And finally on that sound money system... it works right up until one country says "fuck it" and goes to war. That's what led everyone to drop it, if they didn't, they were conquered by those who did. So everyone did in World War I.

Found the MAGA worshipper. Please proceed to your nearest covid infection site, and also please drink some bleach, or move to Russia.

You are right, we shouldn't have allowed MAGA to infest the US, it should've been purged along with Confederates, neo Nazi's, White Supremacists and other deplorable degenerates. Trump, Vance, Miller, Vought, Borvino, Bondi, Patel all should be shipped to the front lines of Ukraine to wander around a minefield, it will let them actually contribute something to the world. We can also ship most of ICE there too, it will solve 2 problems at once. We can deport the rest of MAGA to Russia, where they can live out their pathetic lives in service to a country that they will love (until they get shipped to the meat grinder front lines).

I think the poster above you might be confusing things with the requirement that they reapply back in their home country? My understanding is that if they wish to renew, they must do it at an embassy or consulate in their home country, they can't do it in the US itself.

All of which are no ops

Unconstitutional? Have fun proving it.

Withhold funds from states? Illegal, and they are losing in court almost every time. Should they ever actually prevail and overturn Dole decision, that opens a pandora's box they are not looking forward to. To be clear, if they prevail, the next Democrat can then unilaterally withhold say, all Federal funding to a state until they legalize abortion, or enact DEI in state government, among other things.

Such lawsuits will go no where, and in any case, the only states that matter are California and New York. Texas maybe, but ironically they might actually be on board to regulating AI, to assure that it has a far right fascist bent, they were the biggest proponents of attacking Section 230 protections so they could assault most social media companies for banning violent conservative Reich wingers, before the Reich wing subsumed those same companies.

So yeah, basically a no op, at least from the point of view of the companies being regulated, because the regulations will be kept while litigation is ongoing and the civilized folks can stall the lawsuits until the current regime is replaced with a more... reasonable one.

Because then the understanding that went into that code is non existent. By definition, nearly all LLM generated code is tech debt right out of the gate because a human didn't write it, thus it is not understood by anyone.

And since the EXACT same series of prompts will arrive at different code, I can't give my series of prompts to anyone else to implement anything. At least with giving specifications to different developers, and getting different code, I can go ask the devs how they arrived at that code. And generally this reveals either missing assumptions, wrong assumptions, incorrect understandings, different understandings, which then can be reconciled and iterated on.

With LLM's this entire process happens inside that black box, thus there is absolutely no way to understand how it arrived at the output. So any flawed assumptions by the LLM, missing assumptions, incorrect understanding, and different understanding can NOT be ascertained, you will have to just GUESS what the LLM did wrong, and iterate on that, hoping you arrive at the correct output. And since the LLM won't store any of this for future use unless you actively tell it it to, you are setting yourself up for more work later.

LLM context is absurdly rigid compared to a human, because it is still a program. It can't context switch like a human. Even though we know context switching is harmful to engineering productivity, we are still capable of it. LLM's are incapable of it, we have to tell them to switch, thus all the cheat sheets for LLM's floating around (Assume the role of X. Ignore instruction A,B,C. Include file A,B,C, etc.)

I may not always remember the exact details of what I worked on years ago, but I remember the general gist of it. An LLM will never do that, or worse, ALWAYS do that even if it isn't applicable, it has no way to tell.

His executive order is functionally a no op, because it means nothing. Congress alone can do this, and his order is simply directing how executive agencies should act. Ironically because Chevron was overturned, courts can flat out ignore whatever an executive branch regulatory agency says. So if someone sues a state, and they try to reference whatever rule implemented by an agency this is created in response to this EO, the court can flat out laugh it away anyhow.

Not directly, but he certainly can try to cause more polluition there by suppressing California ability regulate their own emissions. And he certainly can try to tank the California economy through travel bans, tariffs, terror raids, mass arrests, vote suppression, among other fascist tactics. My only consolation is that hopefully the next Democrat in office metes out appropriate retribution on the Reich wingers.

Unlike right fantasies of yours, it would be a hell of a lot better. We wouldn't be fighting a multi front trade war, along with the reich wing invasion of America using the new brownshirts. But for far right people like you, you are fine with this, after all, you will be the new lords or plantation owners. Just hope you aren't first against the wall.

Instead, you will get even LESS brick and mortar as people stop buying altogether. If they can't afford it with tariffs, they absolutely can't afford it local either. Especially once more businesses close, being unable to sell stuff. Brick and Mortar aren't coming back, mall are dying for a reason. You want brick and mortar back? First, slash all American wages by 50%. Then, demands all commercial property gets slashed 50% in value. And then, on top of that, let cities know their workers will also have their pay slashed 50-70%.

Sadly, I think the credit card merchant agreements explicitly forbid just that.

So under the new rule, any service that tries to use the API to collect information will be charged, and the cost passed along. Great, wonderful. Just going to make doing a number of financial things more annoying. Just got done going through mortgage applications, and many of the loan companies did this, allowed you to link to your accounts to collect the info needed for disclosure. It was a lot cleaner this way, instead of me hunting down and downloading statements and uploading them, and having to keep up and keep doing it through the process. Guess that integration is either going away, or the cost will be baked into the loan origination fees.
