The problem is any of those things are effectively a reward for Russia for starting the war and invading Ukraine in the first place. Why should Russia get any advantage out of the war that they 100% started?? And pay them compensation! Wh

I just tried this with a smaller "thinking" model (deepseek distill, running locally) and boy are you right. It keeps flipping between which direction it should turn, second guessing its thought process and then getting sidetrack

Correct. Its the best model I've been able to run locally, by a long shot

Not a true verification but I have tried the Deepseek R1 7b model running locally, it runs on my 6gb laptop GPU and the results are impressive. Its obviously constrained by this hardware and this model size as it does some strange things so

Not quite, I believe this sell off was caused by DeepSeek showing with their new model that the hardware demands of AI are not necessarily as high as everyone has assumed (as required by competing models). I've tried their 7b model, ru

I'm assuming the parent poster is talking about using the Garmin Connect app, which does require connectivity. You are correct, the data is visible directly on the watch.

Its worth clarifying you are talking about the data on the phone app, which does require connectivity as nothing is stored on the phone app, its all on Garmin's servers. However, most if not all of the data (recorded activities or heal

Sorry, hard disagree with everything you've said here. I have a Fenix 6, I've worn it every day for the last 4.5 years. Its a brilliant smartwatch. I have multiple apps from Garmin's IQ store on it. Battery lasts between o

This is a tricky problem. Its really hard to say just how clever AI is getting IMO (as a non-expert in the field). On one hand people say transformer models are just sophisticated autocomplete engines. You look at how they work, and yes th

I would posit that perhaps this is exactly what this article is about? I mean, we're not talking about complex grammar.

I made the mistake of arguing with a somebody on facebook about Gardasil once. In the end I asked her flat out would she rather her daughter got cervical cancer, or had the vaccine. She said she chose cancer. Some people you just can&#x27

And the (simplistic) answer is because many of those 50% vote Republican, because the Republicans say they will fix things and yet always make things worse for the bottom 50%

My understanding is, the danger with Beta emitters is if they are broken up into dust, and you breathe the dust in (or eat/drink it) then you are toast, as your lungs and internal organs get a small, but continuous bombardment of Beta

Yeah, the opposition party that is proposing building nuclear plants justifies their plan by pooh-poohing the detailed costings of the current government's plan to move to mainly renewable sources, they claim (without evidence) that th

>In Australia for example rural areas are all being wired for fibre. What? Thats simply not true at all. I'm guessing you don't live in Australia, or you'd realize how much rural area there is, and how ridiculous that so

Not necessarily as much as you think. The issue is orbital velocity is an absolutely bonkers high velocity. Nothing can even come close to that velocity in the atmosphere. The SR-71, fastest air-breathing aircraft ever flow topped out at

Not really. Starship is aiming for 150 MT to LEO. The launch mass of JSWT was 6.5 MT. Yes, JSWT was launched into a L2 transfer orbit and not LEO, but from the above margins there is probably enough spare capacity for this.

Yeah, I think this is correct (I'm in australia). Twitter have apparently geoblocked the requested videos. But according to the law, the e-safety commissioner can require a social media company to remove the content in question. Fo

Its also been a problem in Australia, Optus (2nd biggest teleco) used to allow number porting or activating sim against an existing account with a bare minimum of detail - Like a name, address and date of birth. If you had those details of

If you can afford a 13900k you most likely have a ludicrous amount of ram and a decent % of your HD is cached in RAM anyway.

I was having exactly the same thought. Doesn't apple's new policy show all their arguments against the DMA are complete crap? They have acted in bad faith right from the start.

For further context on this story which is not really given as this is a local news outlet a lot (maybe 50%+ ?) of all fuel stations in NZ are completely unmanned. You authenticate your card or phone at a terminal, select the pump and th

I'm 50 this year, and I've been playing Minecraft since beta 1.0 or so. I recently started playing again, and boy has the game changed in the last 5 years or so. The caves and cliffs update made exploring wonderful.

No, but it will be more reliable, and potentially portable. Both very important characteristics. I do agree that distributed solar and wind (with battery storage) can take take care of grid base load, but that doesn't mean fusion is p

My first job was at a bank that used Windows 3.11 on all the corporate desktops (late 90s). We had 10mbit ethernet IIRC. Periodically someone somewhere would plug both ends of an ethernet cable into the wall sockets, causing a broadcast st

Yeah 100% the initial announcement of Optimus was waaay to early, typical Elon bullshit to generate hype. But it is a real thing they are working on, and they have come a long way (considering they came from a guy in a spandex suit...) Wat

I'm not buying this at all. People freak out about EV battery fires now (never mind that this is not actually the problem it is made out to be), can you imagine the hazmat situation from a couple of cars carrying who knows how many KG
