For the backend, this is my preferred choice. I have had to deal with a large AWS app that was written EXACTLY how AWS tells you to do it. It is slow as hell because it is too much scripting language. For services that you pay by the millsecond, why would you not want speed?
Write the backend in Go or C# or Java. Your frontend can be all JS or Python.
So you are saying that we are not in a free market, capitolist economy? That the government gets to tell businesses what to charge? Sounds like you are a socalist. Either the US is Free Market or it is not. Should we dictate the cost of iPhones next? How about cars? Why should the medicine companies be teated differently than any other company?
If you do not like the health care system, which is based on profit, then you might want to vote for people that will change the system.
Did you actually read his EO? He is trying to tell OTHER COUNTRIES what they can charge/negotiate for drugs. That is not going to work out well.
So he removed the Biden price negotiations only to try to do them again? So is this a Soviet-style price control? Are we no longer in a capitolism system?
It is too much to expect them to do any work on this.
So your saying someone or some group of very rich people gamed the system and won? I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
Are people mad bacuse they could not do it with their limited funds? Did Texas not profit by this? It is more or less that the state lotteries do not want you to know it can be done. Almost like the day traders getting hoodwinked by the speed traders in the market. Again, money has the advantage to make more money.
Why would anyone think an LLM would be able to predict the future?
Exactly. The article even notes that it is mostly the same as the human predictions that it is ingesting. Why would anyone think it would have something different that what humans are predicting since that is what is learning from.
just checking as to why the link for the story points to the next story ( about removing AM radio from Ford vehicles). Did no one else try to read the story or is this a new thing?
Next up in the cultural war queue...
So why is Tik-Tok different in effecting children's privacy and mental health than any other social media( other than it is controlled by China)?
Grifters are going to Grift. Another stable genius with more of the same message. It will really work this time. Trust me.
Tracking vs gathering. Facebook will, if you pay for the API, send you ALL the information about you AND all of your contacts.
No, these are all inside jobs. All these exchanges were set up to relieve people of their money. Watch the C-level execs magically disappear into anonymous retired bliss
To retire with their ill gotten gains, they need to sell them. As has been proven, the FBI ( or any other agency) can trance the transactions from the blockchains and thus find who "stole" the bits.
You did just explain the model of a pyramid scam, a ponzi scheme... and that's all that cryptocurrency is.
"Making money" in cryptocurrency means finding a bigger fool to sell too. The goal of EVERY cryptocurrency holder is to cash what they had out into real money and leave some other sucker holding the bag. And that's why it's collapsing so hard right now - it hit the point where there are no "bigger fools" left to create another layer of the pyramid.
Thus the last fool holding the bag.
Last fool protocol has been activated.
You're right that military spending isn't mandatory, that's why the gov't goes to such lengths inventing imaginary evils around the world that we then go blow up. That $40 billion quickly rushed through Congress last week "for Ukraine"? SPOILER: that money is staying in DC. All the weaponry we've shipped the past few months? All obsolete mothballed stuff that now must be replaced by the next generation tech! Lockheed, Raytheon, Grumman, etc.
Military eqpt is about the only thing still produced in the US and even that would've already been offshored if there weren't laws prohibiting it. A significant percentage of each state's highest-earning population works in the defense industry. Gotta keep that propped up too.
I will point you to President Eisenhower's farewell address where he warned against just this.

Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense. We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security alone more than the net income of all United States corporations.
Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all involved. So is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
70% of US government budget is mandatory spending which is essentially subsidizing food and services. No choice but to keep up with inflation. Prices go up.
Military spending, which makes of 30% of the budget, is not mandatory. Medicare/Medicaid and SS make up another 45% which are mandatory.
EVERYTHING else, in the budget, makes up that last 25%
For SS and medicaid/care, the US is trying to make it through the boomers which is like a large egg going through a snake. After the boomers go away/die, that price can drop. And if there is one place I would cut it would be the military budget.
Most people do not use cryptocoins for payments because they already have alternative methods of payment that are cheaper, faster and easier to use.
And, if based on Etherium code, it has only 7 TPS globally. Not even close to what is needed for a digital transaction.
Nothing in progression can rest on its original plan. We may as well think of rocking a grown man in the cradle of an infant. -- Edmund Burke
