I like your content but the fawning over Windows security is pretty cringe

DeepSeek, a LLM trained for a fraction of the cost of GPT-Xx models, in 2 months for 6 million, on limited GPUs due to export restrictions, and competing head to head. This is crazy.

It's not the AI part I'm excited about, it's the level of efficiency. github.com/deepseek-ai/...

It’s been a while since I’ve been active here, and WOW have things improved!

Huge kudos to the Bluesky team!

"Music is the space between the notes."

What if I told you one of my favorite films was about a font in Photoshop. But it isn't. It's about the silent thankless choices that make your world. Things of unimaginable specialization, discarded without appreciation.

HELVETICA is on Apple TV and Amazon.

Is there some bug going on right now?

The app is showing me posts that are impossible (date in 2008).

This is a friendly PSA that all content on Bluesky is PUBLICLY visible on the internet.

While intellectually this app is a safe space, it is NOT a private community and you should only post here with the understanding that anyone on earth can see your content.

Literally any position no matter how obviously morally and ethically right they'll pre-emptively compromise on

These are people who go into every negotiation doing the calculus of what they think they could reasonably get and then ask for even less [ and / inevitably get less still ]

Hostile reminder that the "keep kink out of Pride" discourse from a few years ago was a blatant trojan horse that was meant to pave the way for our current discourse of "what if maybe we made Pride illegal entirely" shit the conservatives are now trialing in various locations

This might come as a surprise to you, but I believe you are more to the right than the person you are responding to.

There needs to be a health middle ground where these kinds of medications are readily available for people like yourself that need them, AND not overprescribed for things where they don’t even have a high efficacy like a tooth ache.

Unfortunately what we are doing now isn’t working for anyone.

If these drugs become more available, they will be prescribed, simply because doctors are unaware of how harmful they are.

The companies enter a country and schmooze high level officials with lines like β€œYou don’t want a country of people in pain, yes? We have the solution!”

Some countries though are already moving forward in the manner USA did in early 2000s.

I was in Brazil once and had an abscessed tooth. It was aching badly so I went to see the doctor. Told him I needed something stronger than Tylenol and he proceeds to write me an RX for 30x 30mg OxyContin pills…

A bigger problem I see is the lack treatment for those who wish to recover from their addiction.

Methadone is virtually non-existent outside of USA, Canada, and Europe, and Buprenorphine/Suboxone even in less supply.

Already are in most countries. Typically the lower strength stuff like Tramadol and Codeine is legal, sometimes even hydrocodone, but good luck finding anything stronger almost anywhere in LATAM.

They have some low dosage Buprenorphine options for pain, but that’s often the max strength.

People who support this are hopefully unaware of Californias dark history.

They used to have quotas for sterilization. It was seen as a way to make the future better by preventing β€œtransients” from having children.

Kinda funny how they don’t understand Hungary is sort of the laughing stock of the EU.

Terrible economy, bad education, ignorant backwards social policies, massive corruption, lack of support for Ukraine, etc…

Not really the model for the free world, not that surprising they like it.
