You have it exactly backwards. Musk has been one of the major forces in the administration fighting to preserve and fix NASA. It’s his opponents within the Trump admin who want to cut it, and who convinced Trump to scuttle Isaacman’s nomination.

If illegal immigration is such a problem, why not fine businesses 5x salary for using the labor, for as long as it was used? There are a lot of systems in place to verify working status at this point. It eliminates any incentive to hire this cheaper labor willing to work for lower wages.
The people coming will be coming for a variety of reasons but it won't be to take the jobs of the uneducated Americans
Because that would require Congress to do something useful

Ah, Russia, what would we do without you! Never change. https://gwern.net/note/note#russia
While this is an impressive achievement, I am wondering if this prompts Russia to actually use nukes as it looks like they might be in front of a dilemma "use it or lose it" given what one can do with drones. Wiping out one third of one third of their strategic nuclear triad in a few hours might change their calculus considerably.
On the other hand, it’s by far the most useless and obsolete third
This - Open Access has been around for a while. Battarchya is claiming he's removing the 1 year delay but I've def seen things published and openaccessed ASAP before so I'm not super familiar on the specifics.
The change is that now all NIH-funded research must be open access.

3. Goanna exists, which is an engine forked from Gecko in 2016.
How many users does it have?

Huh? Pixels haven't had 3.5 jacks since Pixel 2 in 2017. wdym?
GrapheneOS is exclusive to Pixels because no other device has the same security features like bootloader relocking.
The 3a, 4a, and 4a 5G had a headphone jack.
In a lot of languages space optimizing Optional Types without using a reserved enum value or pointer tags would lead to memory model problems with atomically writing two values at once which might be more easily solved in a borrow semantics world. I hope there is someone out there mining research papers for the implementation strategies that were abandoned as unworkable due to bookkeeping issues, which Rust has already paid.
But in the case of Options they tend to be both write-once and short-lived, so that removes a lot of necessity. Options are going to stay mostly on the stack and in async callbacks, unless they go into caches.
But for other data structures where multiples fields need a tag, I suspect Rust could use some bitfields for representing them. You’d need a fairly big win to make it worth implementing however.

Yes, Rust suppresses the niche optimization for values wrapped in an `UnsafeCell` (which is how you signal to the compiler that “atomically writing two values at once” might happen). https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/68491
