Not a great summary of the article. It just barely touches on reverse repo lending which is the core of the linked article.

This sounds like the output of a LLM. No actual reasoning or thought.

If unicorns were real and rainbows were made by leprechauns, and congress passed a flat tax, I'd be all for dumping TurboTax. But as it stands, they provide a pretty decent value to me. With 1099s, W2s, capital gains, multiple state returns, and god knows what else to account for, I seriously cannot imagine having to fill out my own tax forms. Plus they really do have (and have had consistently for years) some of the best UX of any product I've ever used. I don't mind paying those peoples' salaries.
As stated multiple times in the article, making taxes easier for the average person does not stop people with complicated taxes from getting help.
My taxes are simple; my family’s taxes are simple; most of my friends taxes are simple. We don’t need Inutit making our taxes more complicated than they need to be. I’d rather have free simple filing be done with my government. I don’t need Intuit getting between me and my government. And if I ever have really complicated taxes, I’m sure TurboTax will still exist.
This article is most likely in response to “DataDog asked OpenTelemetry contributor to kill pull request” [1]. Though it fails to make a real apology or explain their actions.
I'm liking NixOS thus far. I've got it installed on my personal laptop. It's got some rough edges, but the benefits for me outweigh the downsides. I really like affordances like "nix-shell -p foo" to just run a shell with the "foo" command in it for one-off usages, instead of slowly accumulating installed apt packages that I forgot why I installed them.
Similarly, having any custom configuration inside of "configuration.nix" is way nicer to use than manually editing /etc/whatever.conf. I can have one place to store any custom hacks, with a nice comment as to why + git history.
> It's got some rough edges
I've recently been looking really hard at NixOS as a possible next-step. (I use Manjaro and am particularly interested in ways to keep my Laptop and Desktop in sync)
I've heard that the documentation can be pretty lackluster at times. Are there any other rough edges I should know about?

I do prefer snakecase visually but having to press shift for the underscore is a pain and it’s also quite far from the home row on the keyboard.
I wonder if a lot of people rebind the underscore character to a more convenient key?
I bound _ to capslock + u. It is very convenient for both hands.
1. Ask it things. Let it answer.
2. Ask it to find errors in the answer it outputted and for it to correct the answer.
3. Use the original prompt and the corrected output as training data.
This should, with each iteration make the model less and less likely to output statements that are self contradictions or obviously wrong, until the model can no longer spot its own faults.
