Poor Gary. So useless but yet so loud.

Let's be real. They think Elon's arguments are BS since he bought Twitter and he destroyed their Leftie safe space.

They are also very upset with Elon's very public shift away from the current Left.

It's Elon derangement syndrome.

About time people starting taking the "safety" teams to task.

These people are power mad and want to impose their psychological issues upon all of society.

They are a cancer.

Jesus Christ. If all I did was read hackernews comments I would think that these magical algorithms which have the potential for massive positive change don't exist and that the world is coming to and end.

I get it, engineering trains us to look for failure modes, but my god try to have a little amazement at the progress.

FFS.

Levels.fyi exists.

Banking in the modern age is a compliance business.

It is strange and horrible that it is become like that, but that's where we are.

More sectors than one would think are primarily compliance businesses.

IIUC their advertising machine isn't quite as general as the networks of Google and Meta, and gains a large portion of its revenue from ads on Amazon Retail, which may not be competitive.

It's a guess as to the root cause.

What does Amazon use for their ads network?

My guess is that it just isn't competitive and so Twitch can't monetize.

Or maybe it is the demographic. But the ads network is my first guess.

The IRS should play try to create an actual MVP. Create an API which allow for efile (which I assume already exists given turbotax) and create an API which allows the download whatever information the IRS has on the tax payer.

Then allow companies or open source software to create whatever value add they want on top of these APIs.

That sounds like a minimalist launch.

From the article and from a poster below:

"For the pilot participants will have to enter their own financial information, the I.R.S. said."

It is indeed a complete waste of taxpayer money unless they actually prefill with the IRS' data.

So in its initial form it is indeed a complete waste of tax payers money.

Shocking.

Good. Addition by subtraction.
