I can't browse lemmy or play phone games while I read docs, but I can while I wait for the program to compile, load itself into a docker container, deploy to the test server, load my browser, and then fail to have fixed that bug I was looking at. Oh well, let me change one character and try again, it only takes about 15 minutes per attempt.
The new Prince of Persia is the worst for this! There's no auto-cloud save, so you have to manually manage uploading and downloading to the one cloud save slot between your three on-device slots.
And no matter what, no matter how long it's been, it asks about it, like: "Your last save was 0 minutes ago, as you sure you want to exit?"
His exact tweet came up in another post of this story. He said we should eliminate Palestine and Isreal, which is that one step too far. Today's Nazi's actually can't be openly antisemetic because the genocidal apartheid state of Isreal is their closest international ally.
First off, this article is just a link and a short summary of a much longer blog post of the Qualys AI security company. So this isn't a standard industry or academic benchmark, this is something Qualys is using as part of their sales strategy for AI consulting services.
Which, frankly, I would avoid if this article is indicative of how they work.
They tested 1 model. One. Insane. DeepSeek released about a half-dozen distillation of llama and qwep2: 3B, 7B, 8B, 14B, 32B, and the full 671B model. As an AI-expert security company, why would you test one of the weakest distillations only? Was it really so expensive to rent some time on the cloud to test out the other models? Not even the 32B which should be well within most hobbyist ability and budget to run on cloud and test out.
The full article is such obvious SEO bait, I'd be surprised if AI didn't help write it. Just goes on and on and on talking about why AI security is important, why these tests are important, why its important each single test that it failed. But ultimately, no matter how many words they write, the point that they only test 1 very weak version of the model makes the whole thing pointless except as a way to tie the name Qualys to DeepSeek and thus lure in more gullible rubes. Like did they only test 8B because that's cheap enough for them to run as a service for their business?
Anyway, I've previously written here on Lemmy about how Deepseek distilations are so easy to break than I almost think they're buggy and not just insufficient in this regard. I'd really want to see this kind of analysis done on the full model, and obviously also on the other big LLMs they could test to compare against. I wouldn't even trust the 8B models for unsupervised work. It's certainly not reliable and non-hallucenatory enough for things like content filtering or expert system usage, no 8B-level model I've tested is. So very concerning that it seems like that's the level of service they're pushing.
I'm noticing a trend of scientific-sounding announcements about physics results that turn out to be theoretical explorations of simulations. The whole "false vacuum" idea isn't really even a hypothesis, just a what-if. We have no indication that the ground vacuum state isn't the lowest energy configuration. I think people just find a non-zero minimum unintuitive.
Anyway, the key figure in all these theoretical simulation articles is the multi-billion dollar quantum super computers running these simulations. Wouldn't it be funny if tech investors with a lot of money staked on quantum devices pushed for low-quality science that required their machines to be done, thus expanding the market and value of their otherwise pointless supercomputers? This article ends on a very optimistic "these computers have so many uses in cryptography and science" which seems a little out of place when discussing physics results.
I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!
It's also too fucking late. They've already got all the data and have backdoored the systems.
Elon and his little hack squad needs to be arrested and investigated not just for this but going back to whatever secret projects they were doing at Space X to interfere with the election. Trump and Musk both have admitted in public speeches that they did something to technologically undermine the election.
imho, BLM is a textbook example of recuperation. To start, you have a revolutionary movement with a revolutionary message/goal (abolish the police). Over time, the movement centralized leadership and softened message (defund/reform the police). And now today the movement is a brand that is owned by a company and the leadership is too timid to be effective or promote anything other than slogans and t-shirts.
The Harris campaign ran and died on exactly the same playbook. Come out strong and rally the base with revolutionary talk, then walk back demands to reformist ones that are palatable to the donor class you've become dependent on, then become irrelevant and fail.
History on this is clear to me. America is in terrible state, and everyone living here knows it, which is why revolutionary ideas are so immediately popular with the masses. But those ideas are too dangerous for Capital so they get watered down and defanged every. single. time. Until we build a decentralized mass movement that isn't susceptible to leadership ideological capture, we're going to keep losing.
That's the thing, they aren't public employees. DOGE isn't a valid government department, which requires congress. This is a private citizen and his private employees/associates (is he even paying them?) staging a take over of the government. Don't just grant them authority because they claimed to have it.
It's not like they reset the fucking market when they boot up capitalism. The king had the most money, the king's heirs and friends still have most of the money. The small ruling elite come with the system, because they brought it.
Capitalism is when a small number of people (an elite, by definition) control the majority of the Capital, which is property that can be used to conduct business and make money. What lefties call "the means of production." Capital is things like factories, data centers, power plants, mines, large acres of land used for farming, and so on.
What you're failing to describe properly is Markets. Markets aren't evil, free trade between well-informed parties isn't evil. Money, in fact, is the root of all evil but is not in itself evil. None of those things are Capitalism.
I got an RK recently and have been very happy with it. Multiple connection options (wired, usb, or 2.4ghz), nice white and green colors, switches and caps all feel very good for such a budget model. Only thing I dislike is they made it full size but inexplicably decided no one needs an "End" key anymore. Its an Fn-layer button (on Page Down?!), along with Pause, PrtSc, and ScrLk. Admittedly I never need those other keys but I use End failry often and it's an odd choice, especially since they kept the numpad.
At one point recently I bought a two pack of USB Blu-ray burner drives for $25. Optical media is so dirt cheap now that the readers are BOGO. Gave one to my partner, the other is still serving my physical media needs very well.
