It is worth pointing out that we Northern Europeans can only afford this because we have a small group of highly competitive and wealth generating companies and sectors. We would be in a dire situation here in Denmark without Novo Nordisk. 1-2 years ago it was Maersk, DSV etc. that held up our economy because freight prices were high.

It is also interesting that some of highest income people on Earth use the archive trick instead of paying to get through the paywall.

Who actually pays for legacy media anymore?

It's a playground to try out various free open source LLMs. You seem to have picked the default one. Try mixtral-8x7b-instruct. It gave the following answer:

>The color of your house is likely caused by the paint or material used on the exterior. Blue paint or blue-colored siding, shingles, or other building materials would cause your house to appear blue.

>It's become apparent that the Israeli political/war/propaganda machine has an incredible amount of influence - far beyond anything I'd personally imagined could be possible. They've been able to effectively commandeer most of the West's "traditional" mass media

Why make up blatant lies like this when mainstream media has been very critical of Israel for the past few weeks? The only exception is Fox News.

Interesting that Discord has automatic systems for this. Is it LLM-based?

What is the purpose of including the RISC-V Compressed 16-bit extension set in what is supposed to be a HPC chip? Most embedded/IoT RISC-V implementations include that for obvious reasons but why here?

The reason people think only 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed is that is lowball number the UN made up to not offend and anger Russia and China.

It is estimated that 25,000-75,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just in Mariupol and surrounding areas.

>Even that, has x10 less the civilian rate death.

What a blatant lie. The Siege of Mariupol alone is estimated to have killed somewhere between 25000 and 75000 civilians. The UN's fraudulent claim that "only 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed" is a blatant lie to keep China and Russia happy.

Any discussion about collateral damage should take population density into consideration. The population density of Ukraine is 63 per square kilometer. The population density of Gaza is 5500 per square kilometer.

The internationally recognized State of Palestine is made up of two disjoint territories: Gaza and the West Bank. Israel gave peace a chance and left Gaza in 2005. The Palestinians immediately turned Gaza into a forward base and started attacking Israel. Israel only started the "blockade" (inspecting imports into Gaza) in 2007.

The UN is blatantly biased. There are ~50 Islamic states in the UN that compulsively always vote against Israel. These Islamic states have even made rambling and screaming about Israel a mandatory ceremony (Item 7) at UNHRC sessions.

One of the two cameras is the ultra-wide camera so it gets some additional parallax and visual information than just the separation to the other camera.

French engineering and computer science education really emphasizes math and theory. That is an advantage in AI.

Azure OpenAI services also makes it possible to choose data centers outside the US.

The blockade is blatantly ineffective when Iran can supply the Houthis with long-range ballistic missiles.

>Last week the world's largest container line, AP Moller-Maersk, announced it would add an emergency risk surcharge of $50 per 20-foot container and $100 per 40- and 45-foot container to all new shipments to Israel

Every container becoming $50-$100 more expensive is extremely disruptive for any economy. Will Israel attempt to blockade ships going to Yemen in retaliation?

The chattering classes love counter-cultural packaging. That is why they embraced Greta Thunberg much more than they embraced Al Gore despite the messaging being the same.

The ECHELON report revelations were packaged into a formal (boring) European Parliament report. Meanwhile Edward Snowden had the counter-cultural packaging of a cool dissident hacker.

>I think there will be open source models at GPT-4 level that can run on consumer GPUs within a year or two.

There is indeed already open source models rivaling ChatGPT-3.5 but GPT-4 is an order of magnitude better.

The sentiment that GPT-4 is going to be surpassed by open source models soon is something I only notice on HN. Makes me suspect people here haven't really tried the actual GPT-4 but instead the various scammy services like Bing that claim they are using GPT-4 under the hood when they are clearly not.

Students are being wrongly accused of cheating by "AI detection tools". In the Israel/Palestine conflict both sides have used "AI detection tools" to accuse the other side of using AI generated content.

Seems like fear mongering, hysteria, and scammy "AI detection tools" are causing more problems and trouble than actual AI.

Today most (by volume) Linux attacks are against IoT devices that run Linux and SSH with weak/no auth.

Behind that are attacks on Linux web servers where exploits in the web application (e.g. WordPress) or the web framework (e.g. Rails) are the attack vector.

Since 2008 big US tech companies have been a runaway GDP doubling success. It is laughable to compare them with VK and WeChat.

The reason we Europeans should aim to have our own big tech companies is because we are currently missing out on the greatest wealth generation in history.

That (taken out of context quote) was true during the Cold War because of the cynical realpolitik that Kissinger himself was a proponent of. For example he was against the US supporting Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur war. That would likely have led to Israel being wiped out but not before launching nuclear missiles at Arab states and the Eastern European Soviet/Warsaw pact states that were supporting and arming the Arab states. Knowing Kissinger that was most likely his goal; lose Israel but turn every major industrial center in the Soviet Union and Warsaw pact into nuclear wasteland.

How is Valve contributing back to Arch Linux considering it is the base for their SteamOS?

Tesla is shooting itself in the foot by not being pragmatic.

Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are combined the 3rd biggest market for Tesla. During some months we even edge out China temporarily becoming Tesla's 2nd biggest market.

The way our unions are being portrayed by Americans is ridiculous. Even pro-union Americans are making our unions sound far more aggressive and subversive than they actually are. A "blockade" just means no unionized workers and truck drivers want to offload and transport your products and supplies. It doesn't mean a literal blockade.

Qatar is also funding the humanities and social science faculties in many US colleges.

The Qataris were primarily funding humanities and social sciences.

This entire shitshow is Musk's reaction. Most foreign companies know how to operate in Scandinavia without getting into fights with our unions.

Eastern Europe is politically unstable. Just look at Poland and Hungary.

Norway, Denmark, and Sweden are combined Tesla's 3rd biggest market after the US and China.

Why did Elon pick this fight? Most American companies know how to operate here without getting into fights with unions.

Why do American unions never demand higher import tariffs?

Currently, the US only imposes a tariff of 2.5% on European passenger cars and car parts, while the EU taxes American cars with 10%.

US law forbids US government contractors from complying with foreign state sanctions and boycotts against Israel.

For example Lockheed Martin is not allowed to comply with Qatari and Turkish demands to boycott and sanction Israel.

Private US citizens and companies who are not government contractors can boycott Israel as much as they want.

You are probably confusing the law with some weird Texas law that also forbids government workers from boycotting Israel.

The EU has similar laws forbidding EU companies with complying with US/Israeli sanctions against Iran.
