Is there any republican justification for this, other than, by the time people notice it will be too late / we will try to blame it on the other party? Are they expecting the states to step up and pay instead?

Just blame Obama/Biden for it and move on ! I am not kidding that's what you will hear.

I always wonder about this: What happens to their ads business? Also, what's the incentive for websites to provide data to Google if they’re not getting the incoming clicks? The generative approach seems to disincentivize both, right?

>no payroll tax

Is this for real? Companies don't have to pay payroll tax on H1Bs?

No, every one has to pay.

The article mentions the yield is the highest since November 2023.

If I understand it correctly, this is different, however. In November the Fed was trying to increase rates to bring down inflation. But the high yields now are the result of a lack of private demand.

If that is indeed the case it’s very likely worrying.

Ofcourse that is the case, with tariffs the demand for dollar also going down and leads to this !

Just curious, are there any techniques other than using embeddings, computing cosine similarity, and sorting the results based on that? RRF could be used but again its very simple as well.

"I understand your skepticism, but realistically, I don't see the case. Pakistan is in a very bad situation. The U.S. has cut off a lot of funding over the past decate. They were on the verge of bankruptcy a couple of years ago, and China bailed them out.

I believe it's mostly overstated. Pakistan is not economically strong enough to participate in a war, and India is not interested either. However, the Modi government wants to project strength. They were unable to locate the terrorists even after two or three weeks and needed a distraction. So, they targeted some areas in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). In response, Pakistan claimed to have shot down four Indian aircraft and a drone. However, so far, they haven't provided any pictures or locations to support these claims. Both sides will likely exchange fire along the border, and the situation will eventually calm down. Each side will claim victory in its own way.

I am a bit skeptical about all the announcements. Are companies really investing, or just making announcements? I wish it were the latter!

Reducing the number of managers is an interesting decision. I briefly worked at Amazon, and the only way for managers to get promoted is by hiring more people under them. There isn’t any other way to get promoted, which incentivizes managers to grow their teams and sometimes add features that may not make sense. Any opinions from ex-Amazonians?
