The reason is twofold: First is mount low-value attacks on the law by breaking the law over things that aren't important. When judges push back, they know who to attack and remove.

The other reason for closing departments with no planning nor warning is to create chaos, and the chaos will give them the excuse to cancel the 2026 elections. Cuz you know they're totally cancelling the elections, it's right there in the playbook.

The whole budget thing is a distraction.

I'll take a risk on responding genuinely, just in case you are also doing so.

The main problem is that the discussion above you is about the specific cost of a specific program. But you've backed out of this discussion with the abstract "ask questions about where your money is going." Yes sir, we're already doing that, we invite you to join us.

The second problem with your argument is that when we need to cut expenditures, we start with the largest ones ones first. That gives us a chance at large savings for a small effort. $60m is a very small expense by US government standards, so you're point doesn't really apply here.

DOGE itself has fallen into this trap, cutting small programs while ignoring the larger expenses.

There are many more problems with Trump's claims as well as DOGE's actions, but I'm just trying to bring you back to the discussion before we tackle those.

Comment Sweet sensor, but unknown AI (Score 4, Informative) 15

The sensor is pretty sweet, 12 megapixel supporting 4k60 and 2k240 video modes. Weirdly there are no specs on the AI processor. I'd view this more as a way to get the IMX500 sensor if you're interested in that. If you're interested in embedded AI, you might look at the Luxonis options, which work with the Pi over USB.

They didn't. That's the store page. Xbox store probably measures the size of all the data uploaded to it as part of the one purchasable item. i.e. If you buy BO6, the Xbox store has 309 GB of content attached to that purchase. The store doesn't know what you "need", only what the publisher has made available.

When the smallest version of the model is quantized to 4 bits, it only takes 2GB of memory, so yes this should be able to run on actual consumer GPUs.

The A100 is mentioned if you want to "fine tune" the model, which means feeding in new data and training up a modified model. Training a model always needs more time than inferencing with it, but the inferencing can definitely run on a small GPU. (FWIW, my old nVidia 1050 can run small models very well.)
