Anyone using deepseek through a gateway (not sure if right term) so there's no data retention? At work we're going through a few hundred million tokens a day in our app (using anthropic models), and we're looking for something significantly cheaper

It's interesting that the request refusal rate is so much higher in Hindi than in other languages. Are some languages more ambiguous than others?

A bit similar to "Expect the worst, hope for the best"

Maybe in the past. In todays world, when something becomes cheaper, the extra revenue goes straight to the executives. The consumer doesn't see it

Shouldn't they be required to offer a work phone if they require you to install an app on a phone? It may depend on where you live

Sure school is for acquiring skills, but it's also day care. A place to keep children during the day so their parents can work, especially in a society where more and more the expectation is that both parents work.

Exactly, it would only work if you have enough sway with your boss and the willingness to take responsibility for the hire

Temperature on its own wouldn't be enough for life would it? Isn't everything moving around way too fast after the Big bang and therefore too far apart for whatever life there would be to find food (or whatever equivalent source of energy)

In this context it matters because Google maps shows only one website when you search for that pub, if the extorters put their website there first then you can't put your real one

Problem is you don't want necessarily to sell this to people you have frequent/consistent trips for, as you're getting a lot of money from that. Here you want to capture the market of people that aren't using the service, so it's not information from the app

Do you recommend any other resources for children to learn the basics of those theories?

I'd love to build something from scratch but don't have a lot of ideas, where do you find a business co-founder?

If life evolves on a planet with only oceans, no surface, imagine how much longer it would take to discover rockets that can leave the planet.

Like if there was no surface on earth, and only fish, there must be some very significant reason for advanced fish to even want to leave the water, let alone the atmosphere

No, darkness comes from density. The denser the cloud (the more water it contains), the less light can come through, thus it looks darker.

I like how rendering positioning gives the illusion of there being more shape types than there really are, as the three triangles are the same and circle and hexagon are the same. I'm sure it's been done before but I've never seen it, so nice job
