Google, despite having a track record of killing services, does have a good track record to keep their phone up-to-date. On the other hand, most other android OEMs stop frequent update after a year or two.

How do you Apache license a LLM? Do they just treat the weights as code?

I hate to disagree but IIRC deepseek is not a open-source model but open-weight?

I have recently applied for a junior computer scientist position in Europe, U.S., and China. The Chinese employer give me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. In addition to that, the Chinese institute promised me a clear path of advancement, which is not included in my Europe and U.S. offers.

My current employer in Europe is a famously well-paying institute, but my salary is only minorly higher than my Chinese offer, in a much more expensive city than Beijing, and I have went through a lot of crap moving to Europe.

The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, while the U.S. is denying visa for top talents, I cannot imagine many people will make the same choice as I did, especially when they spent most of their lives in China.

We have these bullshits, and apparently DEI is the problem within scientific research…

LOL, their code is probably written by AI.

I am great, it is the lunar new year and I am celebrating it with my family.

I made vegan fried rice for them. Most asian haven’t had vegan fried rice, because typically fried rice involves lard and egg. However, they loved the vegan fried rice so much that my cousin asked my aunt to recreate it tonight.

I have tuta, bitwarden, firefox relay, and libreoffice, seems to work decently. I am also considering getting a mullvald vpn, but not sure how well it works with torrenting, since they no longer support port-forward.

Oh, yet another speculative execution flaw…

Yeah, rookie mistakes given we already know who is elected.

As if anti-trust law doesn’t exist. It is crazy to me nowadays, most tech startup’s goal from the very start is to sale to a big tech competitor. This certainly should have anti-trust implications.

With enough money, sorry, I mean “campaign fund”, let’s see how things go.

Thank god for Trump to save communism /s

You are right, but I imagine it is harder to sue a company over GDPR if they don’t even exists in Europe…

How do people not think that China is also a hyper capitalistic society, especially in the tech sector. Your data is 100% being sold if you are on any Chinese platform, just like in the U.S.

If anything, Chinese big tech tends to be less privacy-respecting than the west, because they don’t need to operate in area with basic privacy laws, like Europe and California; and there are much less alternative products to choose from because of the GFW.

The founder and CEO of Baidu openly stated that “Chinese people are less sensitive about privacy, which gives us more data to work with” See https://m.163.com/dy/article/DDRTB01Q0511FQO9.html?spss=adap_pc

LOL, the irony is that red note is censoring posts from those “tiktok refugee”.

It is such a western privilege to think that they can avoid unnecessary censorship and big tech monopoly by moving to Chinese platforms. When Chinese knows full well that they don’t have such choice.

To further the irony, the west actually have abundant options to avoid censorship and big tech. Yet people think they are “less usable” than google translating (big tech monopoly btw) your way into a censoring Chinese big tech monopoly…

So is red note, who is on red note?!

LLM won’t destroy copyright laws, they are the evident of the problem with copy right as you mentioned. People cannot view the content they brought in the way they want, yet company with a gigantic tech and law team can jump around the grey area for as much profit as they wish, with 0 compensation to the creator of these knowledge.

LLM absorbing copyrighted work is not a win against copyright law, it is copyright law at work.

Yes, from the announcement, it seems true.

Honestly after moving into our current home, we were able to avoid Amazon almost completely. We don’t buy cookware, as carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel cookware lasts at least decades if not forever; we have way too many mugs from market and thrift store; and all of our clothes are thrifted with some from Costco.

we get groceries from farmers market, local ethnic stores, or super market. We get shelf stable products like toilet paper or drinks from Costco in bulk. We barely replace our electronic, because I would fix them with spare parts from ifixit and eBay; when it do need to get replaced, I get them from bestbuy or manufacture. We get most of the cleaning products from refil store or supermarket; we would buy soap from farmers market or local supplier.

We would only buy very obscure product from Amazon, like replacement knob for pot lid etc, but they are very very rare. One particular product we unfortunately relied on Amazon is the bamboo electric toothbrush brush head, we are trying to find some local salers that carry that, but cannot find any.
