Yeah it never was about ideology, it was always about supporting USSR and now Russia. This is why they nearly indistinguishible from each other despite supposedly being on the opposite side of the spectrum.

LOL, this meme has two layers, as they say “real sciences don’t need “science” suffix in the name”
I see a lot of people blaming this on AI and raised interest rates.
The real reason for this stagnation is Section 174 of IRS code that was added by the 2017 tax cut bill. The section took effect in 2022 and was added to balance the budget.
This section basically doesn’t allow to deduct cost of the software engineers and they are amortized over 5 years (10 years for international engineers). This puts some strains to regular businesses, but it kills start ups, as they are required to pay taxes even when they are still not profitable and might not even pay 5 years.
Lack of start ups means there is smaller number of openings which is lower mobility. Combined with amortization, it discourages hiring new people as again it requires 5 years.
I see this being dismissed and “it is definitively the interest rates and AI” AI is nowhere close to replace software engineers, in fact from the coworkers that enthusiastically embraced it I see lower quality of code. Interest rates actually came back to what they originally were before 2008.
The hiring issues started exactly when section 174 went into effect. I think the hiring craze in 2021 was only because companies realized that with slim margins in Congress a bill won’t pass that will repeal it so they were hiring like crazy before it become a law. Indeed Democrats were trying to repeal it, it even pass the house, but it was blocked by Republicans in the Senate. Because God forbid they would help Americans and in turn let economy to look good under Biden.

Initially it was a highly desirable car, now one is ashamed to be in because owner is a Nazi. Another problem is that there’s much higher risk that someone else will damage it (again, because of the owner).
I’m not involved in LLM, but apparently the way it works is that the sentence is broken into words and each word has assigned unique number and that’s how the information is stored. So LLM never sees the actual word.

This shows really well who they are working for.
We had the pandemic, now likely a great depression, so why not Hindenburg?

I do too think that musk helped in a significant way, but I wanted to someone to reasons to musk this way to trigger him and hopefully spill more incriminating information.
I don’t think that hurts trump in any way, he is saying what everyone else’s was saying and it doesn’t look like he saw the files either.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Russia offers political asylum to Elon Musk over Trump feudEnglish7·24 days agoAssuming the feud is real (I’m still suspicious, as when they announced him leaving no one believed musk was truly leaving) I would imagine musk would try to get trump removed and after failing I really wouldn’t be surprised we would see some assassination attempts.
BTW I’m not on Twitter, but when he says that trump wouldn’t win election without him, I wish people would respond that he is full of bullshit and trump alone would win anyway, pushing him to say more.
Could this just be an act, as people weren’t believing musk was truly leaving and was planning to just operate from shadows?

He probably is not aware of it, but with that move he ruined years of US trying to align itself with India.
India does not see itself as a peer next to Pakistan. Suggesting that US (or anybody) would meditate peace talks with Pakistan was extremely insulting to India.
