A clever way to increase overtime for hourly employees. Guess who funds a lot of hourly employees - the public sector.
This bill will simply increase the cost of government programs. But they wont increase budgets for this. They only expect private sector to. Meaning programs for care givers, aid workers wont have the money to care for those who need 24/7 support.

Two episodes in and love how these are written in comic book fashion. Ep 1 ends on cliff hanger of Hal dead in 2026. Ep 2 ends on cliff hanger of Sinestro knowing something special about Jon Stewart. Show looks grounded as true detective, but the episodic nature of each story revealing another clue to a larger run is very comic book.
Avoid costly cloud AI tokenomics
AI Playground now supports @Phison_USA Pascari aiDAPTIV™ SSD model caching, which lets you run very large MOE models like GPT-OSS 120B on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 PCs with 32GB of memory.
Check out our demo video: youtu.be/QcZ01VCCxVo

I was in Tokyo earlier this week where @intel announced a partnership with @Hitachi to bring AI into the physical world - from energy grids and rail networks to smart factories and critical infrastructure. Looking forward to working with Toshiaki Tokunaga and the Hitachi team on quantum computing, energy optimization, purpose-built silicon for edge AI, advanced foundry equipment and automation. Together we will help make the world’s most important infrastructure smarter, more resilient, and more sustainable.
