> Calling everything that doesn't paint Ukraine in a good light "Russian propaganda" is tiring.

It doesn't make it less Russian propaganda though, and from the same blend of the gay Nazi biolabs nonsense that's constantly spewed around. A telltale sign is the duality of criteria.

Russia, China, Iran and North Korea all have elections too. I don’t know if there’s a single contemporary dictatorship which doesn’t have elections.
Ouch. What company prints your state's scratchie tickets?
I got a Brother printer (MFC-L2750DWB) entirely because they were the only good guys on the market when it came to this sort of thing. But instead of buying a 3rd party toner cartridge, I reused the original starter cartridge and refilled it with 3rd party toner (inkowl). Then had to override some setting on the printer and lie that I had replaced the cartridge with a high yield one. Seems to be working fine.

It was very cheap. $11 for a high-yield refill, $85 for the official one, $30 or so for a 3rd party cartridge.
In October I bought an MG4 (350km range) for 31k (AUD).

Its very much cheap and cheerful. but its a great little car, with all the issues it has I still would not hesitate to recommend it. Its perfect for our commute car, and I charge it by solar panels so drive it for free.

The VW model is likely to be about the $40-45k (AUD) which is nowhere near the "affordable" range they think they're trying to hit.
Just use Lemmy.
> OpenAI's GPT models existed for several years before someone got the idea to put it behind a chat interface and the popularity / apparent capability exploded a few years ago.

That's exactly what I said in the post you responded to: there weren't erratic jumps, there was steady progress over decades.
Selfish or otherwise unpleasant people can be found in any demographic: childless people, people with children, people over 1.80m, people under 1.80m, etc.

Some demographics certainly have higher ratios of unpleasant people. In some demographics it's even close to 100% (e.g. neo-Nazis).

It's entirely unclear to me if the rates are different for people without children. If they are, then you really need to do better than this kind of armchair analysis that you've posted here.
To put a slightly finer point on it, I have described it to my federal legislators[' answering machines] as an on-demand, retroactive, reversible, line-item veto.

More-importantly, what does it mean in a representative democracy, when a majority of legislators reach a "compromise" by passing a bill... and then one side simply violates the laws they just voted for because they don't like those parts? It's the same as making a trade with someone and then they take our a gun and mug you for your wallet.

In short, the federal legislative process died last month, and Republicans murdered it.

It is literally not possible to resurrect it until after Republicans throw away the murder-weapon. The main question now is how long Democrats will be in a state of denial like a battered spouse.
Trump got popular by contradicting the status quo. A lot of people are disgruntled by it, so anything that disrupts it is applauded.
> set up a private network between all your ~~Google-signed-in~~ devices.

I've been doing something like this as a fun side project. Idea is to get everything to pass through piholes and have both clear and VPN exit nodes. So then I can send some pis to people and we can create an internal network to share things like files, movies, streaming services, whatever. It also can increase security, especially making it easier for people like my parents when I need to fix their computers and I can just block malware for them, to some degree at least. It's also been very useful debugging stuff in my home network while I'm out somewhere else. And I can access any of my anywhere. I'm out traveling? Still got all my movies and stuff.

One big issue is Apple, who doesn't seem to respect DNS and VPNs, especially local network access... the other aspect is that it makes some ssh automation annoying because they will change things, such as getting the name of the current ssid (wtf?!). So I can't just make a conditional in my config to go through TS instead of local network based on that
America is one of the last bastions of free speech left. Stuff like this, the tik tok ban, and the "anti-semitism" laws, are very disturbing developments.
Isn't that potentially devastating to the UK, not Apple in the long run? Choosing to walk away from the market in terms of supplying goods does not mean needing to walk away from high level engineering staff.

Of course, you may mean these staff are only required to service the UK market...but it sounds like you mean they are valuable to Apple, at which point I am unsure as to why they would not be retained/shifted as appropriate.

Also my apologies, I assumed revenue here. Also thank you, I had not considered staffing, but it makes sense.

I don’t really trust BYD quality. I’ve seen way too many videos leak out of Chinese social media about build issues they refuse to acknowledge, thin or weak structural materials, fires, etc.

I guess you could read the word anarchy that way but the phrase "as in anarchy" has caught on to describe the notion of a thing being unrestricted on an individual level so that's what I went with. It's the common usage of the word and bares no intended relation to The Anarchist movement.

I'm curious as to your thoughts on the matter if you don't believe this is a fair assessment of each side's ideals. I do agree that how it plays out in practice is always going to be much messier once those ideals are filtered through humans who are by nature imperfect.

The Art of Tech Interviewing
The actions of Donald Trump align USA with Russia over our allies. We recently stopped sharing intel with Ukraine, stopped aid to Ukraine, threatened to withdraw from NATO, insisted Ukraine sign a peace deal giving Russia annexed land, called Zelinski a dictator, etc, you can go on endlessly.

EVs have less inherent character than internal combustion cars. They're all quiet and refined, with stable handling thanks to a low centre of gravity. Most of them offer far more performance than any normal person needs. A small electric city car doesn't feel all that different to a large electric sedan, it's just smaller. That's an existential threat for legacy auto manufacturers, because it offers fewer points of differentiation against much cheaper Chinese brands.

EVs are less constrained in terms of packaging. The battery and all the working parts are stashed down in the floor, so you can do whatever you like from the wheels up, without having to worry about where you're going to fit the engine or transmission or gas tank.

Some manufacturers are making EVs that look just like their gasoline-powered equivalents, but there's a real possibility that they're headed down a blind alley. I think that manufacturers who fully embrace the design freedoms of EVs and find new ways of creating distinctive experiences will stand a much better chance of surviving the next decade. Weird doesn't mean good, but bland is just a concession of defeat.

> Why are we aligned with Russia over our allies?

Isn't EU the ones buying Russian oil and gas? They are paying more for those than they are helping Ukraine. They may kiss and hug Zelensky extra long and do photo ops with him when he visits, but then turn around and fund Putin's war against him.

Parent post made me search and I found an Intel Lunar Lake version of the SL7. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-laptop-for-busines...

I am between Lenovo X1 Aura, MSI Prestige 13, and this. All have Lunar Lake so battery life should be exceptional, except of course if there are any issues with battery drain during sleep on Linux. Definitely spoiled by Apple not having battery drain issues, but would love pointers on how to solve it.
Upsetting our friends is to be applauded? While we cozy up to Russia?
I think people were made to be disgruntled though, it's falsely directed anger. Whether or not that matters is irrelevant for now. From everything I've seen a lot of the anger was misdirected.

I’m doing math academy and I have two comments. First, the value of this site comes from its content which is very thorough. I think it’s a great way to learn math.

Second - I love the website. It reminds me of what I think of as the golden age of web design where sites were mostly server side rendered with a little jquery / Ajax sprinkled in, and more information density was preferred.
I'm thinking about exposing some services outside of my LAN, and wondering whether it would be better to go with Tailscale or Cloudflare Tunnel. [1]. At a high-level both solutions seems pretty similar, with a client service running on the machine you want to share.

My sense is that tailscale makes sense for a more locked-down service that is not accessible to the general public (although they do have a way to open up access to the world [4], it felt like more of a temporary thing than a permanent solution when I was looking into it).

And Cloudflare is more for exposing a service to the world, with support for a custom domain name, DDoS protection and other IP blocking feaures, etc. Cloudflare does have a "Zero Trust Network Access" product that I think might offer similar functionality to Tailscale, but honestly pretty hard to tell what it does from their website or how hard it would be to set up.

They both have free tiers that are pretty generous for "homelab" use cases. [2][3]

Does that sound pretty much correct? Are Tailscale and Cloudflare competitors with a lot of overlapping functionality? Or are they mostly distinct products serving different use cases/markets?

Even if you think that it is constitutional to delegate this power to the executive, it's clearly inconsistent with Biden v. Nebraska, where the supreme court ruled that the executive can't even exercise powers that congress explicitly delegated (when a Democrat is president only, for some reason).
12 hours of storage is likely more than needed. With a 20% nuclear, 40% solar, 40% wind generation mix (for a very simplified example), you will have solar producing solid power for 10 hours, with wind and nuclear keeping up overnight.

However lets say that it is 12 hours/30TWh. In 2023, the world produced ~1.1 TWH of batteries. In 2014, the world produced 0.05 TWH of batteries (with steady growth year over year while prices fell by 10x). If you give grid scale batteries a 5 year lifespan (before recycling), that means we need 6TWh/year of grid scale battery production, which at current rates of increase in battery production, we are 5-7 years away from.

For comparison, 5-7 years is roughly the time it takes to build a single nuclear reactor.

The US would be quite lucky if Russia turned back to a frenemy relationship with NATO. It seems highly unlikely that will happen given the last 15 years of conflict. The attempt to Balkanize and neuter Russia looks like an abject failure. Throwing more arms and Ukrainian youth into that meat grinder is a very cynical way to proceed. Rather than growing closer to Europe via trade and energy interdependence, the strategy in Ukraine and Syria has driven Russia further into alliance with China and Iran. Looks like a mistake in hindsight. Would have been better to cultivate Russia against China and align Russian interests with Europe rather than Beijing.

We don't need to fight. We only need to hand over to Ukraine the weapons they have been asking for since 2022. A few Taurus with the gloves off and Ukraine instantly gets far closer to prevent Russia from continuing their whole war effort.

Presently, vLLM only supports static YARN, which means the scaling factor remains constant regardless of input length, potentially impacting performance on shorter texts. We advise adding the rope_scaling configuration only when processing long contexts is required.
So called "free speech absolutists" the minute they get into power...

An an European often arguing with Americans on whichever definition of free speech is best, that's what always bugged me. It doesn't matter what your law says when people who don't respect the law gain power. They won't protect their opponents free speech.

Punishing hate speech does not lead to political censorship, authoritarianism does.
You're not alone. Can't be that important though.
Yes, that’s how these people think. I fundamentally disagree with it and thinks it’s destructive to society, but these people want to watch things get destroyed. This is why they also applaud cuts in welfare and the federal government. Anything that is part of status quo is considered part of the swamp, so it must burn.

This isn't really a concept that makes sense. Organized crime is a state. They serve the same functions, care about the same things, and draw legitimacy from the same sources.
Fun fact: Russians before the recent changes bought literal package tours that flew them into Cancun then bused them to the border and helped them cross. Know a guy who did it, luckily a good guy - eventually was able to get a green card.
From your own Article:

What are European countries doing to reduce reliance on Russian energy?

The European Union says it has significantly slashed Russian energy exports since the invasion.

The share of Russian gas in EU imports dropped from 45% in 2021 to 18% by June 2024, meaning US exports of gas to the EU has significantly increased.

More recent packages of sanctions have aimed to prevent the Kremlin from circumventing those sanctions.

CREA says tighter sanctions that undercut Russian countermeasures can slash Kremlin revenues by 20% annually, significantly stifling its capacity to fund its war in Ukraine.

You must post a (auto)translated version! My spider sense tell me I'll get like 30 points here. (Obviously, I can't guarantee that, only 1 upvote.) I guess even some interesting comments, and perhaps a solution.

I read it. (I studied German in Primary School. I don't remember too much, but enough to skim the texts in Norwegian.) I'm also mathematician, so it's the kind of stuff I like. My guess is modulo 9 and then some bounds should explain most of it, but life is never so easy.

If you post the (auto)tranlated version and nobody gives an answer, I promise to try to solve it. (Obviously, I can't guarantee a solution.)

(In my experience, autotranlations does 90% of the job, but you need to polish it a little and in particular ensure the technical words are the correct ones.)
It's weird that the government of America has fully gotten into the business of tone and morality policing, and banning the press for calling the Gulf of Mexico what it is.

This is such tired debate that comes up whenever 538 is mentioned in discussion. Polls sample an election's outcome many times throughout the campaign. Statistics works. You can't know the future but you can predict it with error bars. 51/49 or 70/30 should tell you there's a very real chance of a Trump victory.

People get bent out of shape about 538 but it's usually because they're misinterpreting the prediction, not that the prediction is meaningless.
There are a few anonymizers out there but none which does it all.
You have two requirements that are at odds:

* Macbook is not an option

* Want to be able to mess around with some local LLMs.

Your choices for a Window laptop that can run a local LLM is either to get a large amount of system RAM and have it be abysmally slow, or to run a very tiny model on a discrete GPU which will (a) not be very good due to its small size and high quantization and (b) evaporate your battery life.

If you want to run local LLMs on a laptop and actually have them be useful, a Mac is currently the only real choice.

That said, with the money you save buying a Linux laptop instead, you can pay for a lot of tokens for whatever hosted LLM you want and it will be higher quality than what you could potentially run locally on a Mac.

What exactly does the Xeon do in this situation, is there a reason you couldn't use any other x86 processor?
The cost of nuclear is primarily from regulation/human decision making that prevents it from externalizing its costs onto the environment (decom costs, waste handling) not physics. Wind and solar are limited severely by physics and they are much more vulnerable to a changing climate. China eating its own dogfood with heavy investments in renewables is meaningful but only illuminates some of what is happening. A significant amount of this stuff is going into the ground in 25 years and it won't be handled with nearly the safety and care as waste streams from nuclear power.

I first learned assembly on the x86 and wasn't until years later that I picked up m68k asm for a hobby computer and all that time I just assumed assembly was either gnarly and difficult like x86 or very bare bones for compilers (like the RISC isas). I didn't realize there was a such thing as nice, programmer oriented assembly.

I think people are looking for the photo-op leaders as they conceive stability even though that stability is just a mirage. Trump team is not doing that so it appears like chaos is the rule.

Canada and Mexico are not the US allies. They are okayish neighbors but will stab the US on the back at a moment notice. Between, there was a reportage somewhere on youtube talking about the auto industry and tariffs. Apparently, Canada used tariffs back in the 80s to force the US to build a car industry in Canada.

Whenever I hear him interviewed (or read his books) I come away with the impression Silverman is a bit up his own rear but I don't see what's objectionable about writing recommendations for people you've worked with. That's pretty normal.
Trump is the status quo. Nothing makes sense unless you consume their echo chamber.
There was effectively uniform foreign policy between the US and its allies for the last thirty years, even under the first Trump presidency, and this included at least a certain degree of interventionism (first Iraq war, Yugoslavia...) which solidified international institutions (differently from the second Iraq war and Afghanistan, which weakened them).

Even if they didn't agree, EU nations and Canada at least sent their soldiers to die in Iraq and Afghanistan anyway.

Why are you surprised people expect such policy alignment after thirty years of it?

Why are you surprised people consider this a betrayal of what NATO stood for in the past, as a proxy of the democracies of the west? Just because there is no violation of the letter of the treaty?
