I said ignore the "partisan crap", not context. But if you want to make it political, be my guest.

And what is happening? Are they stealing your tax info? Are they stealing your identify?

Go ahead - give me actual details of what is happening with a government official accessing your data that they have a legal right to access?

For those who want to read the Executive Order that changed the name, you can find it here:

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-01-29/pdf/2025-0...

At the top of Page 2 is this instruction:

Agency Heads shall take all necessary steps, in coordination with the USDS Administrator and to the maximum extent consistent with law, to ensure USDS has full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems. USDS shall adhere to rigorous data protection standards.

But think of all the people who will die before he donates it all. Thats why he’s being inconsistent.

As a guy who on numerous occasions has been in favor of raising taxes on the wealthy, why doesn’t he just write a huge check to the IRS and be done with it?

At least that would make him consistent.

Lots of people are misreading this post.

The key phrase is LIFE Insurance, not HEALTH Insurance!

They are vastly different markets.

You don’t deny claims for life insurance as companies would do for health insurance. It’s a very different set of circumstances to have to deny life insurance.

I think an analogy that is helpful is that of a woodworker. Automation just allowed them to do more things at in less time.

Power saws really reduced time, lathes even more so. Power drills changed drilling immensely, and even nail guns are used on roofing project s because manual is way too slow.

All the jobs still exist, but their tools are way more capable.

Here’s the crazy thing. All MSFT has to do is build in connections to every AI provider for VS Code and they win.

You can use the method in this tutorial or you can download LM Studio and run it.

The latter is super easy. Just download the model (thru the GUI) and go.

Reread my comment. It’s about noticing you have an “f” or a “t” and both are very similar characters.

Dang! Thanks for pointing this out.

I had to look SEVERAL times at your comment before I noticed one is an F and the other is a T.

This won’t end well. Although I like it conceptually, this few pixel difference in a letter is going to cause major problems down the road.

At that scale? Is that even possible?
