#COST
In life-critical #engineering practice, #correctness and #reliability concerns always take precedence over cost, performance, and other factors.
In modern business #software practice, #cost considerations and #LLM hallucinations reign supreme. No other factors seem worthy of a consideration.

작성자는 @TechieBySA가 만든 프롬프트를 가져와 네 가지 서로 다른 모델에 나란히 적용해 비교 실험을 진행했다고 밝혔습니다. 그 결과 가장 비싼 모델이 가장 저렴한 모델보다 비용이 4배 높았으며, 어떤 모델인지 맞혀보라는 질문을 던져 모델 간 비용·성능 비교를 암시합니다.

You won't like it. I can say, I don't for sure!
It's worth reading still as it comes from somebody who repeatedly criticized #maga .
It's full of errors, misunderstandings and omissions ...
I agree with him on the level I agree with former Ambassador John Kornblum that there is not friendship between states - only spheres of interest that may or may not overlap. ( Something from which the late Mr Kornblum distanced quite a bit. ) But here it ends.
He does not get that this new reality he describes ( about open passages due to melting polar ice etc. ) should be a reason to collaborate with, not ripping off allies.
As challenges have been growing beyond a single country's ( even the US ) capabilities.
🇨🇳 #China's success in ramping up production may give it an edge when it comes to #robotics. The depth of China's supply chain means companies can develop and manufacture #robots at a significant #cost advantage compared to other regions. #UBTech expects production costs to drop 20% to 30% each year 📉. Product costs need to come down to between $20,000 to $50,000 per unit to compete with human labor https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/30/elon-musk-wants-robots-everywhere-china-is-making-that-a-reality.html

The California Department of Justice
and Federal Bureau of Investigation
both report 👍crime has fallen to among the lowest levels ever recorded.
This stands in stark contrast to a recent op-ed by Republican legislative leaders Brian Jones and James Gallagher.
💥It falsely stated that since major criminal justice reforms were implemented in 2014 “we’re facing a crime wave unseen since the 1980s.”
🔥Opponents of reform want to return California to the high-#incarceration, high-#cost days
-- that featured higher, not lower, crime rates.
✅Californians in 2024 are experiencing less than a third of the crimes per resident reported in 1980
and just two-thirds as many as they experienced in 2006.
⭐️The state has achieved these historic declines amid criminal justice reforms and a major reduction in incarceration.
On December 31, 2006, a record 267,596Californians were incarcerated in jails and prisons
-- compared to 150,878 as of June 30, 2024.

Non-Americans now paying more to visit U.S. national parks – will Canadians stay away?
'It does appear to be yet another roadblock towards Canadians visiting the United States,' McKenzie McMillan, managing partner at The Travel Group in Vancouver, told Global News.
