[Alan Armstrong @SenArmstrong]

The surge in AI data centers is putting an unprecedented strain on our electric grid, but a broken federal permitting system is crushing our manufacturers, delaying urgent projects, and driving up electricity bills for everyone else.

We need to build, and we need to build now. It’s time to cut the red tape and pass meaningful permitting reform.

The legacy COBOL code is gone and the IBM z/OS mainframe has been decommissioned. The era of manual payroll batch processing over a 3270 terminal emulator has come to an end. The whole project took less than a year.

[HHS @HHSGov]

HHS has replaced a legacy COBOL-based payroll system with a secure, cloud-based platform — addressing rising operational complexity and maintenance costs associated with outdated systems that were costly, fragile, and difficult to sustain.

In line with @USOPM's initiative to modernize, tasks that once required up to six hours of manual effort are now completed in minutes through automation, improving speed, accuracy, and reliability.

The US Government is one of the largest buyers of technology, but HOW we buy tech isn't working. Time to level up with M-26-10!

No more:
❌Paying bogus prices and getting ripped off with YOUR taxpayer dollars
❌Buying the same tool multiple times
❌Paying for tools we don't use
❌Buying tech without CIO approval

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-time SaaS bear. You just got finished listening to some podcast, Dario on Dwarkesh, probably. Now you think it’s the end of white collar work and seat-based pricing is screwed. You're gonna be convinced of that til tomorrow when you get to “Something Big is Happening”. Then you’ll install ClawdBot on a Mac Mini, vibe code a dashboard on top of a postgres database and say we’re all just a couple ralph loops away from building a Salesforce competitor. That’s gonna last until next week when you discover context graphs, and then you're gonna be talking about how the systems of record will be disintermediated by an agentic layer and reposting OAI marketing graphics.

“Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because ultimately the application layer is just ….”

The application layer is just business logic on top a CRUD database. You got that from Satya’s appearance on the BG2 pod, December 2024, right? Yeah, I saw that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or...is that your thing? You get into the replies of anyone posting a SaaS ticker. You watch some podcast and then pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some VCs and embarrass some anon who’s long SaaS? See the sad thing about a guy like you is in a couple years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: you dropped thirty grand on Mac Minis and LLM API calls to come to the same conclusion you could’ve got for free by following a handful of VC accounts.

@jeffreytucker There was a WSJ opinion piece Friday but I haven’t seen anything else

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

Credit to the feds for publishing Medicaid data that will let the public search for potential fraud.

"the FCA allows private citizens to file suits on behalf of the government (called “qui tam” suits) against those who have defrauded the government.  Private citizens who successfully bring qui tam actions may receive a portion of the government’s recovery."

200 million row csv ready for download

[DOGE HHS @DOGE_HHS]

Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history.

This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time.

For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota.

Download the data yourself:

@mikesowerss Did you even look at the site?

[Clark Minor @clarkminor]

@Nemtastic1 Yes - most of the spend is there, but many of the smaller cells had to be dropped to prevent beneficiary reidentification.
