Highly disagree that either is more sensible than the other, especially given how each culture actually uses dates in their speech. Or we could follow Japan and just use ISO 8601 directly and write 2026-08-09. https://gcdnb.pbrd.

Ancient models, at < 30t/s, for $2,000? Neat device but I'll have to pass.

I think it's basically an NPU hanging off a USB connection, so it can be used as a compute device for local LLM inference instead of your existing CPU/GPU.

Qwen3.8-27B. The knowledge and accuracy for its size is mind-boggling, especially for something I can run on my existing desktop from 2022, away from prying eyes.

What's even more wild to me is that basically ALL modern electronics and all modern batteries are made from raw materials sourced by forced and child labor (and sometimes both)... yet the vast majority of the entire world just turns a

Agreed. And conversely, American models can also just as easily be secretly influenced for bad things, or be more tightly controlled by the government, to corporate America's own detriment.

Jia Tan would disagree. The overwhelmingly vast majority of open-source code isn't actually looked at or audited. Yes it's there for all to see, but that doesn't mean it's doing any good at the moment, in this context.

I think they are making the assumption that if such a govt backdoor existed, it wouldn't be used for generic mass spying, but instead targeted at specific individuals they are trying to find/arrest. That may or may not be true, bu

My understanding is that they are referring to DHH lamenting that his race is becoming a minority in his home country due to mass immigration. Is it fascist to not want to become a minority based on how we see them often treated badly? I th

The problem in this case is a flamewar about what really is or isn't "fascist". The fact that the vast majority of people are not calling the same things fascist as OP is, tells me this seems to be a quite controversial opini

I don't consider it a strawman. Do you understand what hyperbole is? When people say "everyone is X"... they very rarely actually mean the literal definition of everyone. Words are not always used in a rigid black-and-white

I think the problem, if we're talking about the US at least, is that the conservatives running things believe a government should be small... which inevitably leads to corporations virtually running parts of the government, unless you

Whether that is true or not, they have shown they do not care what happens to your child AFTER it is born. Without better morals and education we are doomed to repeat history ad nauseum/ad infinitum.

I would argue non-safe binaries are not safe in a container either. And even with full VMs, there have been an embarrassing number of escape exploits over the years.

After reading the post, I only see him calling it "fascist-backed technology" but not fascist in and of itself. Of course that too I think is highly debatable. Interesting that he's OK using technology in general though, almo
