I think deepseek accidentally also killed google for me, not just chatgpt. Because of the visible reasoning part.

what does stop chinese companies from just opening a company in EU (or better a place with _cheap_ energy and without the ban) to train?

There are ways to analyze that your contributions make sense from the conversation point of view. Reasoning detects that pretty quickly. To attack you would actually use another AI, to generate non totally random stuff. It still could be de

5.5M is a single latest training run, if they would rent gpu-s in the cloud - from the paper.

Meta is switching shoes faster than it is stealing features from tiktok.

It is free until sales come and make you "proposal, you cannot refuse" in the important moment. Because conditions for being free are pretty vague :)

yes, Slack and github strategy. After Slack got big, it shrunk what it provides for open-source communities though. So, expect Cloudflare eventually switch.

This cost would lead that less creators would participate in the referral program. Because the only criteria to participate is how much money they get from it. Though, maybe a good thing, I am tired with all the tech reviews glorifying new

so, it exactly does not mention that it replaces the referral from the original URL you came to buy stuff with. Thanks for the confirmation.

Except honey does not clarify that it replaces the referral link anywhere. The vast majority of shopping sessions do not have attribution, so adding attribution to them would just drive prices higher for regular users, damaging both users a

Strange, an addon that was written to steal income by replacing affiliate links with their own, is found to also steal the code.

am I the only one who do not like usb-c-s? the one on macbooks is nice, but the one on samsungs screams it is not reliable (I have 3 phones with the same issue of not working port). Something with two simple pins would be nicer. Or make usb

apple would _not_ switch for speed reasons, they are interested in you syncing files though their cloud. Similar to google and android, you "can" sync/backup with a cable, but usability is a nightmare.

Where is erlang? Sleeping is not running, by the way. If you just sleep, in Erlang you would use a hibernated process. I feel this is so misleading. For example, by default after spawning, Erlang would have some memory preallocated for eac

"The digital industry is responsible for 2-5% of global emissions, more than the aviation industry" - we should not count mining as a digital industry. I can optimize webpage a bit, it would totally not affect how much energy bitc

Facebook/youtube imposes enough censorship, more than any democratic government can possibly ask for, without looking too weird to the voters. So, gov does not see the reason to regulate, if platforms already proactively implemented al

It is pretty simple, parties estimated how many votes and influence they could get. And decided it is too little. The only way is to be more noisy (protests, pressing politicians to do it).

Right, the high percent of people owning the houses gives extra stability to the country. It keeps prices reasonable and gives overall more options (wanna change a city for a new job? wanna start a family? need some space for your extra ho

People who already have property would not be happy because the government would spend huge money on a program they are not interested. And it could make the houses prices lower (which could be not popular for people, who already paying a l

The platforms like that also provide interesting aggregates. Like hidden trends and the political mood... Interesting correlations. And having this information is pretty beneficial for any agent (for ads or to know your population better).

They could request an audit (and ban if tiktok refuses). They could monitor the results they are getting in the recommendations based on specific list of criteria. They could propose moderation rules tiktok would have to follow (kinda simil

I am afraid that banning tiktok would make facebook a monopoly in this area. And facebook has a long story of disregarding privacy, mental health and rights of their users.

Sure, so ban when they change the algorithm. But for some political powers even a current algorithm is a threat, because they cannot control it (like they could do with the local media).

yeah, the real selling point of the google mail is that they have the power to just remove mail from other providers. Or the risk of removing is enough motivation of using gmail only. And as a major mail provider, they could change the ways

It is not just google, people "prefer video content" like instagram's CEO says. So, some traffic lost because people just find the same stuff on tiktok/ig. Oh, and accidentality google has youtube. But the main issue is
