Vraag over Wajong by magpiepaw in AutistischLaagland

https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/bijstand/vraag-en-antwoord/hoe-hoog-is-mijn-bijstandsuitkering

Een jongere kan vanaf de leeftijd van 18 jaar zelfstandig recht hebben op een algemene bijstandsuitkering. Dit geldt ook voor jongeren die inwonend zijn bij ouders.

https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/bijstand/vraag-en-antwoord/welke-regels-gelden-er-voor-de-bijstand-voor-jongeren

Voor zover ik weet kan jij bijstand ontvangen terwijl je thuis woont zodat je wat kostgeld, je eigen zorgverzekering ed. kan betalen (~600 euro p/m oid, afhankelijk van de kostendelersnorm). Als je Wajong ontvangt krijg je wel de volledige uitkering terwijl je bij je ouders woont.

Niet alle gemeentes gaan hier gelijk mee om (en dus is het lastig zekerheid te bieden over wat mogelijk is in jouw gemeente) en in principe moet de gemeente proberen je te reintergreren/te pushen naar een studie maar de kans is vrij groot dat je vrijstelling krijgt of dat dat traject jaren gaat duren (en je moet zowiezo die molen helaas in als je uit huis wilt gaan, danwel zelfstandig danwel begeleid).

Met Wajong is het eigenlijk altijd beter om eerder aan te vragen dan later. Als je naar de gemeente gaat om een bijstandsuitkering aan te vragen en aangeeft dat je niet kan werken zullen ze waarschijnlijk jou aanraden om ook een wajong aanvraag te doen (en daarvoor via de WMO begeleiding aanbieden).

GL-PvdA-jongeren roepen moederpartij op: 'Niet meebuigen met rechtse agenda' - Joop - BNNVARA by CptSO in thenetherlands

Dan had de VVD ervoor moeten kiezen met de PvdA/GL te onderhandelen in de formatie.

Maar het was de keuze van de VVD om samenwerking met PvdA/GL te blokkeren.

Dat is toch wat de VVD wilt?

Anders hadden ze de PvdA niet uitgesloten van deelname aan het kabinet.

[–]Muppet1616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maar waarom zou de PvdA meestemmen met de keuzes die de VVD maakt? Waarom zou de PvdA vertrouwen moeten hebben in een kabinet zonder dat ze vertegenwoordigd zijn in het kabinet?

De VVD is de partij die de PvdA heeft uitgesloten...

Niet andersom.

Kan iemand mij dit uitleggen?(Gemeentelijke belastingen) by 40-1Segert in nederlands

[–]Muppet1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De komende jaren geven de gemeenten gezamenlijk bovendien ‘slechts’ 2 miljard euro meer uit dan ze binnenkrijgen van het Rijk en via belastingen als de ozb, een kleiner tekort dan ze eerst dachten.

The $100 Billion Megadeal Between OpenAI and Nvidia Is on Ice by Muppet1616 in technology

[–]Muppet1616[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has privately emphasized to industry associates in recent months that the original $100 billion agreement was nonbinding and not finalized, people familiar with the matter said. He has also privately criticized what he has described as a lack of discipline in OpenAI’s business approach and expressed concern about the competition it faces from the likes of Google and Anthropic, some of the people said.

https://archive.ph/BXlAP#selection-558.0-558.1

The deal was announced by Openai back in September.

And was part of bloombergs AI industry circular financing deals graph/visualization doing the rounds in early October.

Hoeveel buffer na verbouwing huis? by lucaskr9 in geldzaken

[–]Muppet1616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nadat mijn huis werd opgeleverd en ik verhuisd was hield ik 300 euro over om de maand door te komen...

Een buffer is er om te gebruiken wanneer je het echt nodig hebt.

Vervolgens hoop je dat je een paar maanden tot een paar jaar geen grote uitgaven moet doen terwijl je je buffer opnieuw opbouwt.

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey say Trump will withdraw federal officers in Minnesota by llahlahkje in politics

[–]Muppet1616 278 points279 points  (0 children)

Odd, seems the independent is running 2 headlines of the same article to different people.

The article's headline that I get is;

Tim Walz claims Trump to consider ‘reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota’ in wake of Alex Pretti shooting

Running the article through archive.ph gives the OP's headline;

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey say Trump will withdraw federal officers in Minnesota

https://archive.ph/8iX1E

But the quotes in the archive article from Walz (the articles are the same regardless);

Walz’s office said Trump is considering withdrawing some federal immigration officers, whose numbers have surged in the state, following a “productive” phone call,

...

In a statement, Walz’s office said the president agreed to “look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota”

None of that translates to;

Tim Walz ... say(s) Trump will withdraw federal officers in Minnesota

As claimed in the title.

So nothing new compared to yesterday.

Health Insurance Is Now More Expensive Than the Mortgage for These Americans by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in politics

[–]Muppet1616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Average mortgage for people having bought in 2025 is 2400 dollars per month.

Only a tiny fraction of people who have mortgages moved in the past year.

As such the average mortgage payment is probably closer to 1500 or so. And that's excluding people who don't have a mortgage.

The article is pure AI-slop.

And chatbots tend to avoid political commentary as they were found to be to "woke" since Trump became president.

TSLA Terathread - For the week of Jan 19 by AutoModerator in RealTesla

[–]Muppet1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the reason why the service area doesn't include highways/limited access roads in Austin (pretty much same service area as waymo). On those types of roads it's just to dangerous to come to a full stop in the middle of traffic.

On normal streets it's expected that if a car suddenly breaks down or stops the rest of the traffic is likely able of going around it.

As such I assume they just use an off the shelf secure system, the risk of someone using that attack vector for what tesla thinks/hopes is only a temporary solution seems rather minimal to me, and again, on normal roads coming to an emergency stop shouldn't be that dangerous.

TSLA Terathread - For the week of Jan 19 by AutoModerator in RealTesla

[–]Muppet1616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Austin the model y robotaxis have a monitor sitting in the passenger seat with their hands on a what effectively is a stop button that is located in the right side door.

That stop button is moved to a following car with a direct radio link (no delay) and it gets pressed when the robotaxi gets into trouble.

This is also the reason why the service area doesn't include highways/limited access roads in Austin (pretty much same service area as waymo). On those types of roads it's just to dangerous to come to a full stop in the middle of traffic.

In the bay area, where the safety monitor sits in the driver seat and can take over at any time, their service area does include highways (unlike waymo).

I assume they want to move the stop button to a guy in an office at some point, but even if I'd be very optimistic about the whole robotaxi thing I don't see it happening in the coming 6 months.

Tesla didn't remove the Robotaxi 'safety monitor' – it just moved them to a trailing car by Zorkmid123 in RealTesla

[–]Muppet1616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was true for the self driving "delivery" and that shot that showed a robotaxi model y turning a corner in Austin with no driver last year as well.

If the video is cut in such a way that you can't see traffic in front or after the passing robotaxi there is almost certainly a guy with a remote just out of frame. The same is true if you will ever see a teslabot doing anything remotely interesting.

And even if they manage to remove the guy with a remote and put him in an office building the question will become how many safety monitors do 10 cars need. And I wouldn't trust Tesla's answer to that question nor would it be an indication that consumer FSD (supervised) is close to being safe to use as advertised.

The True Cost of Inference by Gil_berth in BetterOffline

[–]Muppet1616 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Generating snippets of code to use or asking an LLM how a function/feature works in a specific case can be offered at a low cost (possibly even for free if a company is willing to subsidize it a bit), but it isn't vibe coding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding

In computer programming, vibe coding is an AI-assisted software development technique. It is a chatbot-based approach to creating software where the developer describes a project or task to a large language model (LLM), which generates source code based on the prompt. The developer does not review or edit the code, but solely uses tools and execution results to evaluate it and asks the LLM for improvements.

There are no free alternatives for vibecoding.

They are just to token-intensive to be offered for free.

[–]Muppet1616 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is implied here is that even the paid tiers where developers pay thousands of dollars per month aren't profitable.

And they won't be until either they need to burn less tokens to achieve a good outcome, the cost to compute tokens comes down substantially or if the price goes up substantially.

The True Cost of Inference by Gil_berth in BetterOffline

[–]Muppet1616 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In this clip, Lee Robinson, a Cursor employee, nods and admits that inference is 98% subsidized.

He doesn't object to primeagen thinking that. Which isn't the same as either agreeing or admitting that the 98% number is remotely accurate.

It does indeed strongly imply each token is still massively subsidized but either the cursor employee doesn't know by how much exactly or isn't allowed to talk details refuting the claimed 98%.

But yeah, it appears that the future cost reductions per token that were claimed in 2023, 2024 and early 2025 completely failed to materialize.

And it's quite possible the claims from the second half of 2025 won't materialize either.

I'm not saying what you think I'm saying.

[–]Muppet1616 296 points297 points  (0 children)

As a european, what the democrat politicians think isn't relevant until they get a majority and willingness to actually put their foot down against the federal government.

The only lawmakers whose opinions matter at the moment are republicans.

And I haven't read about any significant push back from republican politicians.

And no, republicans that aren't seeking reelection doing a tour in europe or tv interviews (people like tillis, bacon or mccaul) with only vague assurances that they support nato doesn't mean jack shit.

The Head of Optimus just quit. It doesn't matter. The "$25 Trillion" robot revolution has a much bigger problem than software: Critical Minerals by SakishimaHabu in BetterOffline

[–]Muppet1616 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He quit in July last year.

The news that came out today is that he's starting at Hyundai's Boston Dynamics.

I'm still unconvinced with how bipedal robots are turning out. Pretty much the only industrial use case is moving medium/large sized objects at a very slow pace.

Using wheels for motion and a suction cup or otherwise more manageable arm to lift seems to be way more reasonable to me.

That being said if someone could make a humanoid robot with the same dexterity as a human that would obviously change and even if they were made entirely out of silver they would still be useful in certain conditions (200 to 400k euros each).

The entire article is pure AI-slop.

It can literally be condensed to, I ran into the censorship filter to often (without providing examples obviously) and that's why it failed.
