for inference use domestic chips, for training buy Nvidia.
Is this to encourage local manufacturing, or due to espionage concerns? My understanding is that usually GPUs do not have direct access to the internet, and so putting a backdoor in one of them would be pointless.
Yes, it could be a military coup. It could also be the US using classified alien technology they found in the Bermuda Triangle.
But the simplest explanation is that Trump / Rubio were angry at Venezuela, their generals told them a ground war would be Vietnam 2.0, and that it would be safer to kill / kidnap one of their leaders and declare victory. The US can do this - Venezuela has one modern Russian-made air-defence battery (see MarmiteLover's posts in the news threads) and that can't cover the entire country. (Older systems won't work against the modern US military.)
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You're alleging that an entire military command collaborated with their enemy. You'll have to provide some proof for that.
There aren't a lot of first past the post republics, since first past the post is largely used by English speaking countries and most of them have the British King as their Head of State. If you drop the 'republic' condition, then Canada is probably the biggest example.
This is a good thing, though? All the Chinese companies already use USB-C. Just force Apple & Co to comply, and you cut down on so much inconvenience and lost time, not to mention e-waste.
India or China ... being large landmasses without much interruption by mountains.
Both India and China have one large plain covering about a quarter of the country, and a handful of smaller plains with about half the land covered by hills and mountains. Not that different from Europe.
China and India, with their vast floodplains, could both feed an astounding amount of people and remain more or less unified in a single political entity for extended periods of time
China was unified for most of its history. India was only politically unified by the British - historically there would be one large state somewhere in the central plain, and dozens of smaller states that may be under its economic and cultural hegemony, but otherwise independent.
groups that display the Union Flag and the Saint George's Cross
There's some difference between these two. The first is cringe but otherwise run of the mill tory, the second is EDL shit. US equivalent would be flying the official US flag vs flying the Confederate flag.
Depends where it is, but generally no. They'd need to inject like a large syringe full of air to have a good chance of killing her. Even if they wanted to kill her, there are easier and more plausibly deniable ways to do it (like 'accidentally' giving multiple doses of an actual medicine).
Pardon my impudence, but is this not a variant of the sudo rm -rf technique developed by the infamous h4X0r known as Four Chan to pwn n00bs on the interwebs of yore?
And now, with the power of AI trained on reddit, everyone gets to experience it firsthand!
Ah, the classics! Truly, they bring a tear to mine ancient eyes ...
Gains in savanna regions due to shrub growth have not been enough to offset the losses.
This is concerning. One big hope was that global warming would help grasslands and savannahs expand into the desert and absorb some carbon dioxide. Looks like that's happening, but we're somehow cutting so much forest it nullifies any gains.
