  • TIL that Los Angeles is expanding a program paying people not to drive. If you agree to keep you car parked at home for 5 weeks and explore other ways to get around, you can earn up to $600

  • So incredibly stupid/wasteful. Just put a $3/gallon additional carbon tax on gasoline/diesel. use revenue to at least cut other taxes/rent reductions if property tax cuts, or give every resident a dividend cheque based on the carbon tax revenue. Car owners will adjust and traffic/smog improved, without just paying car owners with free money. FFS, there are cheaper than $600/mo cars I can use to scam for free money.

  • Huawei is building its own DRAM fab, and it could reshape RAM prices for everyone

    Jump

  • Huawei is far ahead of Nvidia in AI clusters despite sanctions made against it, and 5 year behind tech stack. 50% cost/performance advantage over GB300 nvl72, (including building costs) by building outdoor siteable pods with 3 week lead times. CXMT is now most valuable company in China, but because of Huawei sanctions, they sell 64gb ddr5 modules at higher price than Samsung just to Huawei. Huawei needs its own RAM fab because it is harassed by west, and Chinese suppliers price to them with "captured customer" awareness.

  • take their money

    absolutely essential. Oil, weapons, media, zionists destroy election integrity through treasonous fraud. They all collude and support each other to boot. When SCC says money is speach, money is fraud, treason, and oppression. Take it away from the traitorous oppressors.

    Tesseract dev injects malicious code into browser to illegally DDOS the dbzer0 instance

    Jump

  • I'm somewhat ok with catering to a political filter in an instance/frontend, even if I prefer open inclusion. But DDOSing anyone in fediverse is bad/unacceptable.

  • If open weight models are the future, U.S. AI companies are going to have a hard time

    Jump

  • Open models are still most cheaply hosted on a cloud, with batching and 24/7 use. API rates from developer lab are generally fair. Self hosting does have some significant tangible benefits though: Fine tuning for domain specific to organization, and not letting LLM provider train from your prompts/answers, followed by competing with your organization in the future as a result of "distilling your IP".

  • AI bet goes awry: Oracle fires 21,000 employees

    Jump

  • It is burying old news in headline. The consequences/pitfalls of their "strategic shift" are fairly new. The layoffs were explicitly justified for pivot to datacenters that OpenAI will "surely" be able to rent. The new extra problems in that strategic shift just makes them look worse for going all in on the bubble.

  • AI bet goes awry: Oracle fires 21,000 employees

    Jump

  • There is zero proof of distillation. Minimax 2.7 development was surrounded by moderate use of Claude. M3 is their latest generation, and pretty solid, but its performance cannot be attributed solely (or even 5%) to distillation, and that is only lab that has been accused of significant API use. These claims are all 3-4 months old by now, and Anthropic blocked China access after publishing the accusations. Repeated BS is BS from losers trying to lobby for support.

  • How can Americans view their soldiers' deaths as tragic events, despite the U.S. initiating wars and killing other countries' civilians without justification?

    Jump

  • It's unclear "Americans view this". Government's Zionazi permawar must dress up all defeats as mandate for escalating permawar. US establishment only recognizes Zionazi supremacist genocide, and always will justify amplifying it.

  • Uncle Bob becoming even worse:

  • gherkin tests?

  • Trump claims fallen soldiers said 'we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon'

    Jump

  • Has he tried paying Iran to abandon enrichment, and sell uranium and centrifuges at a price they can't refuse? Current stage of war is about not letting Iran get $1/barrel of oil at $70 or less, to make oil $90 or more.

  • ‘Imagine All the Better Things That Could Have Been Done’: Trump Has Blown $37.5 Billion on Iran War: “THIS from the administration that said there was no money for food assistance, Medicaid, and hea…

    Jump

  • Their $500B/year permanent military budget increase + special $300B to recover/amplify production rates to replenish munitions from Iran war, also come with "butter" cuts. The cost of Iran war is that $300B + $37.5B, not just the latter.

  • Also Cursor (recently bought by spacex for $60B) "stole" not only the entirety of kimi 2.5, but all of their users data to train its composer models ontop of kimi 2.5.

  • Five Tech Giants Are Using Enron’s Accounting Strategy to Conceal $1.65 Trillion in AI Debt

  • article ignores the circular financing bubble. It layers on top all of the hidden costs in servicing their fake revenue and fake stock valuations.

  • Five Tech Giants Are Using Enron’s Accounting Strategy to Conceal $1.65 Trillion in AI Debt

    Jump

  • A bigger factor in AI fraud economy, is the circular fake assets and fake revenue. $1T valuations in top 2 LLM providers implies $50B-$100B eventual recurring profits with little to no reinvestment. $1.75T SpaceX valuation was based entirely on fraud of at least 5x more expensive space data centers than earth and supposed 90% of value of company is based on Grok enterprise TAM. IPO was boosted with fake Anthropic paper lease where they were renting gpus for 5x the cost, and over 2x the list price of on demand rates from Nebius/coreweave, but with instant cancel clauses, and "first 2 months free" scam. 11th hour similar Google deal (who owns 6%+ of spacex) further amplified the SpaceX fraud IPO.

    The main circular fraud though, is most of the companies (Nvidia not mentioned) in article put an inflated asset on their balance sheet, while trading revenue credits for those investments. Article's "footnote debt" is largely to serve those revenue credits.

  • Bessent says U.S. could sanction China over AI model ‘theft’

    Jump

  • There is no evidence of "theft"/distillation by latest models. Anthropic's original allegations were weak against deepseek. When someone publishes vibe code to github, it's not theft from the LLM to train on it. Repeating loser whinning often enough to make it US dogma, doesn't make it truth. China is a short fuse away from sinking US fleet blockading Iran.

  • Apple Plans to Defeat RAM Prices by Letting You Lease a Mac

    Jump

  • I don't get the general criticism. It will all depend on details. If you can "rent" a $1000 device for $500 in payments over 2 years, and have the option to pay $500 at end of 2 years, or pay $250 over the next 2 years, then that is a better deal for you, including the delayed payments, and your optionality. If rampocalypse is over in 2 years, you can get a better device. How far away from the above formula implementation is matters though.

    An advantage with buying a "good phone" is that Apple needs to keep their trade in incentives high to get you to upgrade later. Lease provides a clear upfront proposition instead of hoping for future Apple generosity.

    1. hype frenzy is based on doubling every few months.
    2. OpenClaw frenzy turned out to be very expensive for limited benefit, with security concerns/failures. No big new hype agent app.
    3. "Tokenmaxing is good for you" only made sense before you got the bill.
