The section after the interactive diagrams has no left padding and thus runs off the screen on iOS.

Could be worth considering that outdoor cats in the US may actually be a positive because so many of our country's natural predators of rodents and birds have been wiped out.

I've found great success in ignoring, entirely, baseless aspersions cast by faceless anon avatars about people in the public eye.

Fascinating that you take the court's ruling that he has a "mental illness" at face value.

How would you like it if one of your harmless hobbies was declared illegal overnight and your home raided?

How would you feel if the only way the court lets you go home without a prison sentence is to agree to be declared "mentally unfit"?

For clarity, it isn't that. He's referring to a single specific person who engaged in stalking and personally harassing behavior unrelated to the projects. The receipts are all over, you can find them if you insist.

If this family member is experimenting with DeepSeek locally, they are an extremely unusual person and have spent upwards of $10,000 if not $200,000. [0]

It was not running locally. This is classic bolt-on censorship behavior. OpenAI does this if you ask certain questions too.

If everyone keeps loudly asking these questions about censorship, it seems inevitable that the political machine will realize weights can't be trivially censored. What will they do? Start imprisoning anyone who releases non-lobotomized open models. In the end, the mob will get what it wants.
