The difference is that local US companies have agency to refuse government overreach while Chinese companies are weaker in this regard. Chinese companies are more vulnerable to its govts pressure.

Because it is DeepSeek in China, they must have open weight models to be even partially acceptable to the world. I am sure many would balk at using a Chinese company if its products were not open source

> - 1948 - Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon invade Israel

No. Israel invaded Mandatory Palestine. The arab states invaded and took Palestine. Egypt took Gaza. Jordan took the west bank. Israel took the rest. And the partition plan from the UN was never implemented. #conspiracy #tooEasyToBeCoincidental

> - 1973 - Egypt and Syria invade Israel

No again. Egypt invaded the Sinai, its territory as recognized internationally, yet taken by Israel in 1967. Syria invaded Golan Heights, again its own territory as recognized internationally even today, yet taken by Israel in 1967.

> - 2006 - Hezbollah attacks Israel

No again. Israel invaded Lebanon in 2006. Hezbollah demanded its soldiers back per agreement, and Israel was breaking its agreement. Hezbollah invaded Lebanese territory, given to them by Syria, yet occupied by Israel.

Yeah just like the Tesla screen in the car. Quite a problem since it lacks physical buttons.

KBRA is tasked with producing a rating. Insufficient information won't stop that task. The rating has the confidence it deserves: Anthropic is hiding the bad data and as such no one can rate them highly.

The idea of Israel being under threat has been inculcated into every Israeli and Zionist. Significant casualties of historical facts had to occur such as The first arab israel war is described as arab world fighting Israel, Even though Israel conquered significant parts of UN partitioned Palestine. The arab govts were too new to be a threat. And they were too disunited then and now. Since inception, Israel has been behind every attack and disruption to peace.

> it has been under the threat of larger enemies

It has always been at odds with its neighbors and has persecuted its occupied people, for far too long. It has further facilitated other tyrant governments in the control of their people. The cyberwarfare industry in Israel is directly part of the controlled Defense Industry.

It is not under threat. It has sought to be a formidable threat to everyone.

What are the possibilities of AI learning how to code efficient apps, e.g. low memory apps, or faster apps, or both? I feel like that is the kind of cheap work that requires too much intelligence for humans, yet provides immense benefits to users.

Just recently I learned Listary has a new beta written in Rust. It is fast! The previous one kept crashing. Asking AI to code Rust style, is probably a shortcut method.

Well, if you change to many settings, it will break. So don’t change anything. So it doesn’t break.

The precursor to a service being taken offline is that it is made illegal. This law would prevent someone from selling the service as a tracker for everyone. When a warrant comes in, it will start tracking the plate. Right now, it is possible to track all plates for all time. That kind of service should not be allowed.

The controls for moving in the X direction are negative and positive buttons, positioned on the left and right. The controls for the Y are also left and right. this is contrary to logic because it should be on top and bottom or up and down. And the controls for the Z axis should be in opposite corners.

Got so annoyed at this game. +/- Y should be up and down. Gets confusing with x being the same way.

I thought your price for 32g was you getting ripped off. Holy crap. The price is super high now. Now I am lamenting missing out on getting 128GB ram when it was $700, thinking it was too high. It is outrageously expensive now.

I wonder if the companies would be willing to bet entirely on AI driven innovation if liability for misalignment was put squarely on companies, individuals, compute vendors, and LLM vendors. I don’t think they would opt for it, especially if an alternative option to use human-programmed tech was already available.

There is something to be said about emphasizing on liability as a way to freeze or solidify AI Development. Right now it is too unfettered leading to predictions of AI dooms.
