I love this sort of reply. Yes, the bastion of free market capitalism is no much different than the evil communist countries.

When Chinese companies do it, then it is evil price dumping. When US companies do it, then it is just good business strategy, investing in growth for future profits.

Which just proves GDP is a low IQ metric to measure how good a country is to live in. I certainly would rather live places like Mallorca or Donostia than in many places that are ahead of Spain in the silly GDP game. Speaking of low IQ, it&#

If the US wanted to have more military control in Denmark, it wouldn't need this sort of ridiculous dance and a new deal. It always could put military bases in Greenland. NATO was a thing, and Denmark never really bothered itself much

> So with the re-newed interest and a willigness to seriously mess up the NATO alliance - what does the US want in Greenland this time around? This assumes the US has a plan. It's a bold assumption.

That's precisely what I expected. That people would pop up defending US atrocities by equating them with the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah. And you know what? You're right. Those are all terrorist organizations.

There are some terrorist states that indiscriminately kill civilians though, such as Israel and the USA. The worst thing people would do is surrendering in those cases.

Eh, as much as I might dislike the government of my country, I think I believe I would hate a lot more the country that decided it was a good idea to blow schoolgirls from my country into minced meat.

Wealth, like gravity, distorts everything around it with excessive concentration. It matters little how wealth is created. No one has to lose anything for the excessive concentration of wealth to cause the lives of everyone to be worse.

What I find surprising is that DS Flash can do it at all. I love DS flash, it is an amazing workhorse to implement plans created by more robust models (such as GLM). But a more fair comparison would be of DS Flash with GLM Flash.

I still question it. It's very light on details by just casually dropping they have 80% margins. I smell bullshit on this. It is certainly not above them to play accounting tricks to pretend to be anywhere near profitable. If you creat

This shit again? This is pure, unadulterated, D.O.P. bullshit. That I see it making the rounds here so often and so many people buying into this crap makes me relieved that no one in real life knows that I have an HN account. I would be ash

By all means, I don't disagree. I just have a policy of stressing the point that EU is not a country when people comment on it as of it had the powers of a national government. In fact, as someone that lives in one of those countries,

Then your comment is sort of pointless too. Unless you want to argue "every country in the world that does not produce enough oil and does not have enough refining capacity for said oil should electrify". Then singling out EU coun

EU is not a country. Taxation on crude oil and its byproducts is largely for each member state to decide, as is electrification policy. In some cases the EU steps in; for example with CO2 emission quotas, electrification targets, and largel

Sounds like a problem with your provider, or with how your harness sends requests. All DeepSeek models have 384k maximum output tokens: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing

This is not evidence. This is random people speculating on Anthropic's margins without any real evidence. Just because it is on some blog post, it does not make it true. I wasted the time to read the first blog post. It considers 100%
