Not that there's a need to lie - China is still winning. Deepseek is definitely cheaper, enormously, massively so, and on-par with other latest AI models. I'm not sure it's totally positive news, because cheaper AI tends to mean more overall spending on AI, but China winning in this space is a definite lesser evil.
The thing is, the 'efficiency' of AI isn't the problem. See Jevons Paradox. Much like our history with fossil fuels, as energy efficiency goes up, total energy consumed also goes up (because you get more for your buck now).
So the more efficient AI becomes, the more energy we will waste on pointless shit. I actually agree that anti-LLM sentiment is overly high on the left, but that argument has to be made that it has very useful applications for very specific circumstances, not that "it's getting better and that will solve all the problems". Because it getting better is actually also a problem in many ways.
Stargate Project is such an insanely bad name for "building some datacentres". Could rich assholes stop claiming legal monopoly over the coolest words for their extremely uncool wastes of time and resources? If your project has nothing to do with gates between stars, then a just government should step in and tell you this ain't right.
It's annoying how many Paradox (and other) games are stuck behind the effective DRM that is Steam workshop. No mods without paying insane prices. You can still mish-mash pirated DLC and a bought base game, but it's a real pain.
Blahaj slowly realising that turbolibs don't give a shit about trans people, they just say something performative and then expect all their "innocent questions" to be answered on demand or immediately declare being an ally is impossible.
Sorry
, god forbid some trans people choose not to talk to you - I wonder if there's a reason why?
The r/196 crowd was an enormous part of the problem, maybe once they go rejoin Reddit.world, refedding really is an option again.
What would it even mean to run an ad for a guy who has literally been voted president? It would be like running an ad for clouds; Everyone already knows about it and what possible further end could you want to achieve?
As someone who has spent half their professional life looking at network packet drops, I may be biased, but it's interference.
There's no directly "geographical" causes, but there's a 99% chance the fob works in 2.4Ghz. Depending where in that 2.4-2.5 spectrum it functions (which will depend entirely on the car model), something else at your apartment is filling that frequency too.
Sadly that something can be just about anything - power lines, telecom wires, lights, any faulty/poorly shielded electronics or electronics using constant wireless comms, someone else's car, nearby antennae you name it. Only way you'd likely find where it is is with an RF meter/Spectrum analyzer and a lot of patience. My neighbour used to illegally over-power their network router which fucked up most wireless anythings in a 20-meter radius.
Your actions have displeased the almighty advertisers. Take a pilgrimage to the seven shrines of consumer-friendly guidelines and prostrate before them.
I know I'm late to the party, but I do want to honor the CCCP, the Combined Community Codec Pack. As being an amazing set of open-source codecs that made most of my media work, pre-VLC. They used the hammer and sickle logo and all.
Good. Shoplifting like this makes the only way to be a profitable shop is to be invested in uplifting the local community out of poverty and have them actually respect you as a positive actor. Not sure any big business would ever actually do that, but it has to push things in a slightly positive direction.
For every person that signs up with your referral, they get one entry and you get one more entry. Unless they're willing to try and fail to contact loads of fake details in quick succession. Even if they do intend to pay out on this campaign, they're very unlikely to ultimately pay out if the first few 'winners' are fake entries, and then your effective chances of winning actually goes down when people use your code with fake details.
So, signing up with fake deets may be a statistically bad choice.

Really hard to read - I OCR'd it and it looks about right, but I can't guarantee:
