How do the new Deepseek, Qwen, and Kimi models compare against GLM 5.3?

Sooo... was this damage covered by insurance?

Could this somehow be used to generate a Zillow-style tour of a physical space?

For better or for worse, there are no such mandatory inspections nor certificates required when selling your car in the USA. Its a common trope/issue that people can often get misled by sellers when buying a vehicle, either by the seller clearing the engine codes or some other shady practice that would keep the car looking good until it drives off the lot

I know NodeJS well but have never used PHP, but I can attest that using PM2 is a pain and node_modules deps issues can be a hair-pulling event. But the package.json scripts provide a simple and built-in way to run basic build tasks. There's always an ~~app~~package for that, no matter what "that" is. There are also tons of tutorials, examples, and snippets for everything you want to do to get up and running quickly. TBH I really enjoy working with Typescript, it really brings sanity to JS (as long as you are consistent with it) and Express is dead simple and just makes sense.

Would you mind sharing your insights into why one should go with modern PHP+Laravel instead of NodeJS+Express+Typescript? what does the PHP equivalent of pm2 load-balancing look like and how does it compare?

This is actually really cool, I may have to give it a shot! Thanks for sharing

What apps do you recommend one to download from F-Droid?

Can you elaborate some more please? This is blowing my mind right now, -0?

Wow, the premise of the game sounds really cool! Do you plan on adding a multiplayer mode to the game? Me and some friends have been on the hunt for a new fun mp strategy game for a while

This has to be one of the most worthless articles I've ever read. The title here is really the TL:DR, the only additional piece of info in the article not present in the title is the numbers. The source of the data for this article is here:

What do you like about induction cooktops?

President Andrew Jackson famously shrugged off the US Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia by (probably not) saying "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!". Like you said, "Laws are worth zero if the law enforcers ignore them with impunity". This is why we need a system to police the police. At some point, we as a society need to commit to forcing those who swear to uphold the laws to also live by them.

Honestly, it is funny to me that the group most dedicated to standing up and fighting against a tyrannical government and refuses to believe that the military would be called in against peaceful protesters is still standing on the sidelines and watching the violence unfold. The day they realize that they and the BLM movement are mostly on the same side for this issue (anti government heavy-handedness) will be the day that these protests start getting seriously scary.

Sorry for the tangent, but that sounds really interesting! Would you feel comfortable sharing more info about how you did the processing? Astrophotography is a hobby I've been wanting to get into and learn about, but I can't justify purchasing an expensive camera for just one hobby.

This man wasn't exactly jailed for jaywalking [1].

That logic doesn't make sense. Everyone has the potential to do something bad. If you have a concealed carry firearm with you, should you get rewarded for not shooting someone on a particular day?

I fail to see how an ISA is better than an unforgivable loan, and to be honest, this seems a lot more like indentured servitude/wage slavery without the pretense of a loan. If the investor (Purdue in the article) has to step in and say we won't make more than 2.5x our investment on you, you know the student is being taken advantage of. The problem is that the ISA model is still bound to the private market by virtue of the fact that the investors are private and not public entities. The carrots and sticks that are in place are not there to benefit the student.

I wonder how society would react by making student loans forgivable. Would banks stop giving out loans because there is no collateral? Or would they require a cosigner to rope in an adult with collateral to lose? Would schools get cheaper as a result of people not being able to afford the already high tuition, would they become a status symbol for the mid-upper class who can afford it? It is definitely an interesting thought experiment.

Times definitely have changed in the past few decades. There was widespread looting going on during the 1977 blackout in NYC [1]. I hope that you're right and everything is being blown out of proportion, but lets not forget that:

* everything is possible * looting and pillaging has happened before in lesser times * it doesn't help to be unprepared

I honestly think that if we had a firmer, more coordinated, and less fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants government response and action plan, anarchy would definitely be reigned in and less of a concern in people's minds.

Seriously? You want to be able to join a community you might not be familiar with and understand the lingo/jargon off the bat? Of course people will abbreviate things when the word/phrase is sufficiently long, commonly used, and the abbreviation mutually understood (brb, tldr, OOP, etc.). There is no elitism involved, if you don't understand something either Google it or ask. No reason to act snobbish because people cater the the most common denominator in a community rather than the lowest.

+1. In Morgan Stanley, the title/promotion hierarchy is associate -> vice president -> executive director -> managing director. You can get VP within 5 years or so.

Also plausible is that the Americans don't want to toot their own horn (as the CIA and NSA seldom do) and the Chinese don't want to appear vulnerable and admit they were hacked. The difference in responsibilities to the people that a dictatorship and a democracy are stark, almost regardless of how broken of a democracy it is.

I am no hacking expert, but the fact that the internet is such an open place and knowledge sharing is so widespread, I would lean to the side that they have comparable hacking capabilities as America. I've yet to hear of a reason why they wouldn't other than the standard " 'Murica #1". And given a dictatorship presiding over a massive economy and a valid raison d'etre for such capabilities, there is no reason they cannot fund an equivalent of the NSA

Would you recommend any resources to learn how to effectively build a scalable modern web app? I haven't worked with Angular for about a year now, but I didn't use NGRX or similar alternative and I distinctly remember that managing state for the app got progressively harder as the app got more complex.

As a millennial, I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Given the current state: I would rather less taxes for less benefits specifically _because_ my perception is that government is inefficient. I don't mind paying taxes if there were more obvious signs of where the money is going and the results were more tangible and obvious.

I don't understand. There are plenty of trivially easy and user-friendly ways to purchase Bitcoin (Coinbase for example). What is the issue with only accepting Bitcoin?

I would second this route. Amazing and well researched podcast. Well worth it if you have the time

This was quite literally a story made up on the spot to broadcast the OP's view. There are generally no useful lessons learned from fake anecdotes

Thanks for the detailed reply! I admittedly am not a GoodReads user (I have an account but never use it) so I wasn't aware of all these pain-points

Anyone can make up a story. But what was the point of this one?

I want to second this question - this is a relatively easy-to-fix issue on GR's side to have more moderation tools and powers. But otherwise, are there any other substantial complaints?

I'm curious which games you've played wit this feature and how did it generally work?

This was abused by players in Rainbow 6 Siege imo, though I don't think it would be useful if it were implemented the same way in BF5. Siege plays similar to a search-and-destroy gamemode where you only get one life, and once you die, you spectate your team (and can watch cameras for them and call out). Iirc, only teammates can kick a player, so you would often get the least skilled person kicked as opposed to a cheater (unless the cheater was the last person alive and obviously cheating). This system wouldn't be useful in BF/COD style games because of the respawning ability. But the opposite way where the enemy team can vote to kick someone out of your team also is ripe for abuse. Imo, there is no easy and fair solution that bypasses existing centralized anticheat mechanisms because you generally can't tell if your teammates are cheating as you're not often spectating them, and letting the enemy team have the sole voice to kick someone isn't going to work.
