  • Could you not attempt a fine tune of the latest open source model (Kimi K2 right now)? The limiting factor is money to rent the servers to do so.

  • I feel this too. At this point, I'm practically a Third Worldist. Work to provide whatever support I can to the development of the Third World, and hurry along the collapse of the USA. Only after the US loses its empire will its white people share the interests of the global proletariat rather than being labor aristocracy as stated by J Sakai's Settlers.

  • Good point! Those are some shit-ass friends, I'm here if you need people to talk to!

    I see how these chatbots can help people process grief, and as long as they aren't predatory or harmful, they're useful. However, I do worry that the end stage of all these services is to charge you money for it, so that they can extract rent from your every need.

    Wanna process grief, pay us! Wanna learn a skill, don't do that, pay us instead! Wanna do anything involving your brain or heart, just pay us instead! Etc etc.

  • Critical support. Once research into longevity settles down, these can become standard treatments as part of universal healthcare. It will save money by (1) preventing the development of expensive age-related diseases, (2) allowing citizens to work and play longer, making back more of the state's investment into their childhood and education, and (3) preventing the loss of knowledge from death, the largest drain on our collective human knowledge.

    Of course, we must be careful are eventually made available to all, not just to make wealthy capitalists immortal.

  • This Dan Wang person is incredibly annoying (I'm also Chinese so this isn't racist).

    He makes a stupid idealist argument that China builds more shit than the US because it is an engineer-run society, while the US is a lawyer-run society. He blames the US's lawyerly society on the rise of consumer protection advocates like Ralph Nader, and activists who opposed 'good-hearted engineer' Robert Moses's bulldozing of black neighborhoods for highways. Of course, he fails to explain how Nader's fight for safer cars leads today's US government and capitalists to actively fight against anything that will make people's lives better. He draws a false equivalence in the US between people who use the legal system to improve people's wellbeing, and corporate lawyers who fight to stonewall any such improvements while pushing through projects to maximize profits.

    His unspoken argument is that to become more like China, the US should get rid of consumer protections to unleash the forces of free-market innovation. He works for the Hoover Institution, a right-wing think tank, so his motives are clear. That's why he's become so popular in liberal circles, because he bastardizes comparisons to come to the 'business-as-usual', 'deregulation conclusion' that makes liberals oh-so-happy.

  • I agree. Influencers like Andrew Tate are a symptom, not a cause of the problem. If capitalism forces men into this situation, they will look for explanations of why, even if these explanations are blatantly misogynistic.

    Of course, it isn't helped that liberals present no coherent solutions supporting mes.

  • Mobile homes are already bargain bin housing, now people will be priced out of them as well?!

  • Great to see! May this cooperation build towards the revival of the Russian soviet republic.

  • Here's the link to the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-63689-4

    And here's the abstract:

    Liquid film is ubiquitous in nature and serves as the critical medium for the dissolution of photoresist to create nanoscale circuit patterns in lithography, which is a core task since the birth of semiconductor industry. However, despite decades of research, the microscopic behaviors of photoresist in liquid film and at interfaces remain elusive, leading to industrial effort for pattern defect control largely a trial-and-error process. Here, we unravel the nanostructures and dynamics of photoresist polymers in liquid film and at gas-liquid interface using a cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) methodology. The native-state three-dimensional structures of photoresist polymers are reconstructed by cryo-ET at significantly improved resolution compared to conventional methods. Cryo-ET reconstructions resolve the spatial distributions of photoresist polymers across gas-liquid interface into bulk solution, revealing the cohesional entanglements between polymer chains. By inhibiting the polymer entanglements and leveraging photoresist’s adsorption at gas-liquid interface, the contaminations across 12 inch wafers have been eliminated under industrial conditions, yielding a > 99% improvement in minimizing the pattern defects for fab-compatible lithography.

  • Because the capitalists actually need a bunch of us to be unemployed and homeless, because the unemployed and homeless act as the reserve army of labor. If the government allowed the reserve army of labor to all kill themselves, then the remaining people would actually be able to use the suicide-created labor scarcity to negotiate better wages, and that cannot be allowed. (This happened after the Black Death, as the drop in population gave remaining peasants more power to push for better pay, thus helping end feudalism).

    Ultimately, this policy is a fancy way of doing basically nothing while attempting to increase the reserve army of labor by forcing more people to have to apply for the same jobs, thus driving the wages down.

    If the UK really cared, they could attempt to rebuild their industry which would provide jobs and real GDP growth. However, that isn't as profitable as making money in London by just moving cash around.

  • If this warmongering gets worse, it may be in Venezuala's interest to develop nukes. Hasanabi doctrine and whatnot.

  • I wish I had the time to mod the twin towers boss into Elden Ring.

  • Russia should advance the front until they cut off Ukraine entirely from the Black Sea. That should ensure Ukraine becomes bigger, shittier Kosovo.

    Once there, Russia should also join up with Transnistria (like how they already border Abkhazia and South Ossetia) to prevent Moldova from invading it at NATO's orders.

  • I'm so tired of people yelling about his supposedly 'transphobic' behaviors. He attacked Viki1999 and Contrapoints for their support of Israel, and was proven right on both counts. They just happen to both be white trans women.

    Viki1999 literally said that she supports Israel because supposedly, she believes she would be "thrown off a roof by Hamas in Gaza". BadEmpanada pointed this out, causing others to apply enough backlash for her to quit YouTube. BadEmpanada never supported the dog piling, just pointed out her fucked up beliefs.

  • Well the Democrats definitely aren't gonna fix this once they get into power, ratchet effect and whatnot. I'm sure their donors are just giddy that the Republicans are doing the dirty, profit-maximizing work for them.

  • The main issue with the U.S. nuking Japan is that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rather pointless cities to get nuked. I'd be more okay if they nuked Tokyo to actually punish the Japanese imperialists living there, or firebombed the Japanese imperialists' vacation homes in the Japanese countryside.

    Also, if China could glass the entirety of the United States and ensure the victory of global socialism, they should do it.

  • Fallout from a nuclear bomb decays away very, very quickly. In 48 hours, it drops to 1% of the original radioactivity.^[https://remm.hhs.gov/nuclearfallout.htm]

    That's why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are perfectly normal cities today.

    In a nuclear war scenario, assuming you aren't in the glassing zone, just stay indoors for 2 days and you'll be fine.
