    Trump's Orders on Gender Put Science Back in the Driver's Seat

    Jump

  • I was curious about the article cause I didn't think newsweek was that biased.

    The author is a psychologist who has focused on sexual orientation, and claims sexual orientation is most likely establisher in utero (nature rather than nurture). However he's definitely been involved in some scandals, enough to have a whole wiki page. Additionally it sounds like he has very unorthodox methods of conducting his studies (seems like very loose with statistics and purity of studies).

    Overall, really bad article title and probably a guy co-opoted for this message cause he's had some beef with the larger field.

  • Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion

    Jump

  • Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I'd take it. Unless they've got more secrets up their sleeve I don't seem them ever being worth that much.

  • Trump Says Some Treasury Notes May Not Be Real

    Jump

  • If you look at the "Great Recession" in 2008. That was an economic crisis that more/less started in the US, but the end result was millions lost jobs, the PIGS debt crisis in Europe, etc.

    That would be a drop in the bucket if US treasures disappeared.

  • Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?

    Jump

  • You're absolutely right a out data formatting being an issue and something that really does cause vendor lockin.

    I would just think content creators would still want archive/backup of the final products (the video itself). For example could you imagine if a movie just disappeared because Adobe or someone shutdown.

  • DeepSeek might not be such good news for energy after all

  • Longer!=Detailed

    Generally what they're calling out is that DeepSeek currently rambles more. With LLMs the challenge is how to get the right answer most sussinctly because each extra word is a lot of time/money.

    That being said, I suspect that really it's all roughly the same. We've been seeing this back and forth with LLMs for a while and DeepSeek, while using a different approach, doesn't really break the mold.

  • More than 800K have lost $2B on Trump’s meme coin

    Jump

  • A lot of concern I've heard is that it's possible he's using it as a payment method for bribes/influence. Since they make money on fees, you could literally just trade the coins back and forth to yourself and "give" trump money.

  • Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?

    Jump

  • I think most of the tools have a way to download content, the issue is no one does or has a system for their backups. Which is the risk with the cloud, you're putting all your eggs in someone elses basket.

  • Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?

    Jump

  • This was actually something I found interesting with the brief TikTok shutdown in the US. A lot of creators only had their content in the editing software owned by TikTok or the app itself, meaning they lost access to all of their content.

    The biggest risk of cloud only setups is you don't own it.

  • Americans warned of grocery prices shock

    Jump

  • Not the person you initially responded to, but my understanding is that even with immigration reform we'll still have legal and illegal immigration. In the country we've had fairly strict immigration policies for over 100 years.

    I don't think the democrats want open borders, so what happens to the illegal immigration debate after reform?

  • Americans warned of grocery prices shock

    Jump

  • I don't disagree with you, and I think that's why people call for immigration reform. We need to look at what we want to do about immigration as a nation.

    One thing I've never understood from democrats perspective is that there is a reason to control how many people can immigrate to ensure the country can support those people.

    What I've never understood about Republicans is why go after the immigrants and not the companies hiring their labor. Make the penalties brutal for hiring illegal immigrants and youll solve many issues with immigration.

  • New Time cover features Musk behind Resolute Desk

    Jump

  • I think they're two people with egos that can be used against them. We've seen foreign powers take advantage of this and I support the media doing the same.

    At the end of the day, the checks and balances in our government were designed around people not wanting to share power (judicial vs executive vs legislative).

  • Trump administration suspends $5bn electric vehicle charging program

    Jump

  • It's great for him, he already has a pretty prolific charging network. All this does is hamper the competition.

    Its exactly why this kind of thing is happening, it prevents competition in the EV space. Government subsidies for charging infrastructure means people can pick cars based on the car and not charging.

  • Musk’s DOGE Teen Was Fired By Cybersecurity Firm for Leaking Company Secrets

    Jump

  • I didn't think any of them actually have a clearance. Certainly wouldn't be able to get them through the normal process.

  • Vance tells Musk that DOGE staffer who resigned after posting racist tweets should be rehired

    Jump

  • Yeah really shortens how long ago he could have said it.

  • Nintendo patent explains Switch 2 Joy-Cons’ “mouse operation” mode

    Jump

  • The asynchronous games were a lot of fun. https://www.mariowiki.com/Nintendo_Land had a couple of them, like one where everyone is in first person mode chasing the tablet player who has a top down view.

  • I mean using proprietary data has been an issue with models as long as I've worked in the space. It's always been a mixture of open weights, open data, open architecture.

    I admit that it became more obvious when images/videos/audio became more accessible, but from things like facial recognition to pose estimation have all used proprietary datasets to build the models.

    So this isn't a new issue, and from my perspective not an issue at all. We just need to acknowledge that not all elements of a model may be open.

  • I mean, you can have open source weights, training data, and code/model architecture. If you've done all three it's an open model, otherwise you state open "component". Seems pretty straightforward to me.

  • Chinese AI startup DeepSeek overtakes ChatGPT on Apple App Store

    Jump

  • My point was a mixture of Experts model could suffer from generalization. Although in reading more I'm not sure if it's the newer R model that had the MoE element.

  • DeepSeek releases new image model family

    Jump

  • Yeah, even the cherry picked examples they provide look only okay.

    To be honest everything with this company feels like an ad campaign more than anything else.
