  • DeepSeek accused of powering China’s military and mining US user data

  • How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?

    I'm European so I certainly don't trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.

  • But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn’t work, but it’s cool!

    Purely out of curiosity, I used the Cursor IDE for a personal project involving a lot of math-y stuff, and this really wasn't my experience.

    Not only was most of what it produced wrong (ran just fine, but mostly produced complete garbage), the code quality was absolute shit. Overly long functions, often with parts that repeated, kept shoving more and more parameters into those overly long functions, no sense of using abstractions to cut down on code length etc. etc.

    Might have partially been a question of language choice; I was using Julia, and there's definitely not going to be as much training data for it compared to something like Python (🤮), and a lot of the code that is out there has been written by people who aren't coders but scientists

  • I wish users would report their problem istead of what they think is the solution.

    And when they do report the problem, they should report the actual problem they had and not what they think the problem is.

    So instead of eg. "my computer's been hacked!", it's actually "I saw a scary error dialog I didn't understand"

    I wonder what the daily recommended allowance of irony is

  • I mean I'm like 99.9999% sure the post itself is satire, but what worries me is that I'm not sure if the concept of "higher order vibes" is itself satire or not

  • ICE could ‘run out of money next month’ and is already $1bn over budget to carry out Trump’s deportation plans

    Jump

  • … ok so I had to look up what the heck that means, and found this article by The Independent that explained that

    According to the dictionary site Merriam-Webster, “86” means to "to throw out,” or “get rid of,” and derives from a 1930s slang term for “sold out.” The number 47 is believed to refer to President Trump, as the 47th president.

    Oh 47 is believed to refer to Trump? 😀

    Also, fuck me it really activated my almonds to see Loomer and Gabbard pretend to be shocked by this to the extent that Gabbard suggested jailing Comey:

    Conservative MAGA pundit Laura Loomer also expressed her shock on X.

    “WOW! Former FBI Director James Comey just posted this on his Instagram 2 hours ago, with the caption “cool shell formation on my beach walk”. It’s a pic of shells in the form of “86 47”. This is a call for the assassination of President Trump by the former FBI Director!,” she said.

    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she felt that Comey should be jailed for the post

    Conservatives call for the murder of leftists (ie anyone left of the Strasserites, and even they would probably be too "woke" for them) all the fucking time – eg Vance has publicly endorsed an author who wrote a book saying that leftists aren't even human but should be tortured and murdered en masse – and those fucking inbred plastic cunts have the gall to cry about fucking sea shells?

    edit:

    About Vance's totally normal and acceptable views:

    Never forget that this is now mainstream conservatism. They literally want to murder you.

  • I could understand mmmmmaaaaayyyybe like 70% (if we're being generous, and we are, aren't we?) of what the dude in that video was saying.

    Regional accents can be really hard for me to understand sometimes, but I still love hearing them. The "standard American" accent and RP get so boring

  • Do you think lemmy.ml content should be reposted to lemmy.world alternatives?

  • Ha yeah. Like a Fedidrama comm but funnier.

    Could sue people with silly opinions, drag their butts to Lemmy Court (and probably get dragged yourself too)

  • Isn't Lemmy a treasure-trove for AI scrapers?

  • I mean, yeah it's easy to scrape public networks, but my question is: so the fuck what?

    If you don't want anything or anyone to scrape your content, don't publish anything on the internet. Ever.

  • Thanks for the explanation! I really had no idea about any of this.

    After listening to the interview on that Excursion Around The Bay video I got interested in hearing more of the accent so I went and dug up more videos and ran into this https://youtu.be/yl9hQpG_c34

    That accent is a delight. It's so interesting.
