Hum… but your quote indeed uses “treat”, I am no expert, but I feel it might be the verb form of “treatment”…

If he is gonna spend public money to worship himself, I at least expect the statue to be slightly higher quality than this piece of crap.

Took me a several click to get to the source: https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/4/3/real-time-federal-budget-tracker It has detailed budget breakdowns so it is decently convenient to explore.

I have done a very brief scrolling, here are some interesting findings. All the following data are year-to-date, comparing 2024 to 2025, adjusted for inflation:

Ups:

• despite mass firing, spending on federal employee salary has slightly gone up (by 4 billion, from 79 to 83 billion), which I assume is either current admin paying themselves, severance, or sign-on bonus to hiring back their fired employee.
• DoD and DVA spending has collectively gone up more than 20 billions.
• Unclassified spending up aroubd 20 billion, from 70 billion to 89 billion, a near 30% incease, curious what those are.
• Federal Highway, Railroad, and Transite are collectively up couple billion.
• DOJ, DOE, DOC has surprisingly gone up in spending. DOJ in particular gone up 1 billion, from 7 billion to 8 billion.

Downs:

• NIH and CDC are either slightly down or remain the same. It is worth noting that NIH and CDC collectively account for around 20 billions total spending, the same amount as the increase in DoD and DVA spending.
• Department of Education down 10 billion from 90 billion to 80 billion.
• USAID gone down 2 billion, even though it only accounted for total of 6 billion of spending in 2024.
• Homeland Security spending, surprisingly, down half a billion from 5.5 to 5.
• USPS down 1 billion, from 14 billion to 13 billion.

The article states: “Republican Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming … [states] a consistent rise in fatal truck crashes since its implementation.”

Whereas your statement is “[Requiring truck driver to speak English improves safety] is a fact”.

I am not saying what you said is necessarily wrong or the policy is necessarily harmful; but I feel we probably need more proof than “a republican representative said so”, to assert a certain statement as “a fact”.

BTW, neither you nor the news article provided the relevant data, which IMHO doesn’t really inspire confidence in your argument. Let alone all the potiential confounding variable others have mentioned.

I think it would be great if you can list some credible source before asserting a fact.

Also I have a question, why do truck drivers speaking English makes the road more safe? As long as they understand the required knowledge, I don’t see the language they speak matters in terms of safety, but that could just be my lack of understanding in this area.

What brand of VPN do you use to bypass it, many of my friends are there quite frequently, none of them have a mainstream solution for it.

Last time I was there, express does not work, and I heard proton also does not work. However, my mobile carrier by default routes all roaming traffic through UK, so that did work.

China blocks most IPs from foreign cloud providers like AWS or Digital Ocean. And if I am not mistaken, they can also block some VPN protocols (tor is not a VPN protocol, but it is very blocked, I don’t know if tor bridge works), but I am not sure which exactly.

Well at least there is no clear conflict of interest /s

They also need to put a little yellow star on all their clothing.

How do you Apache license a LLM? Do they just treat the weights as code?

I hate to disagree but IIRC deepseek is not a open-source model but open-weight?

I have recently applied for a junior computer scientist position in Europe, U.S., and China. The Chinese employer give me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. In addition to that, the Chinese institute promised me a clear path of advancement, which is not included in my Europe and U.S. offers.

My current employer in Europe is a famously well-paying institute, but my salary is only minorly higher than my Chinese offer, in a much more expensive city than Beijing, and I have went through a lot of crap moving to Europe.

The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, while the U.S. is denying visa for top talents, I cannot imagine many people will make the same choice as I did, especially when they spent most of their lives in China.

We have these bullshits, and apparently DEI is the problem within scientific research…

LOL, their code is probably written by AI.

I have tuta, bitwarden, firefox relay, and libreoffice, seems to work decently. I am also considering getting a mullvald vpn, but not sure how well it works with torrenting, since they no longer support port-forward.

Oh, yet another speculative execution flaw…

The title plus the thumbnail makes it looks like a snl sketch, only more ridiculous.
