I live in Israel. There is fake news being spread about Tel Aviv being destroyed and Israel being hit hard. This is absolutely false. The volume of rockets is way lower than the 12 Day War. In fact, I do the irresponsible thing of not even going to the bomb shelter when the odd siren rings out.
There was a decision made by the security establishment not to allow reporting on Iranian missile hits in order to make it harder for the Iranians to do BDA.
I can't believe that people simply bought into Anthropic's PR messaging.
This has nothing to do with "mass surveillance" (which is illegal anyway) or killbots, it's all about Dario wanting to be able to override lawful use:
I think it's quite rich all these people virtue signaling when: (1) Anthropic (and other labs) committed large scale theft of copyrighted materials to train their models. (2) Anthropic collects large swaths of data on its users (3) Dario seemed to have no issue working to help the CCP: https://x.com/ubuto23/status/2027578089371267201
Also, you must understand that if you support Anthropic, then you should be against Open Source models.
Mass surveillance may be illegal anyway as you say, but what is the relevance of that? I hope you don't take it being illegal to imply that the government isn't going to do it.
If you think the gov't is doing illegal things to US citizens then provide the proof and expose it. I don't have evidence so I am not going to speculate either way.
Doesn’t matter whether usage is legal companies are allowed to enter into contracts as they see fit. That’s a core principle of a society with free speech. If Anthropic said you weren’t allowed to use Claude on the toilet they are writing the contract.
do you use FDE on your hetzner instances? I couldn't find a guarantee that they properly dispose of block storage so I ended up developing a utility for this https://github.com/mvelbaum/hetzner-fde-toolkit
Many Americans benefit from illegal immigration, it would kill the middle class in many places if illegal immigrants just went away all of a sudden. States like Texas can hardly survive without it, basically all politicians know this.
it's more like the previous guys were so bad that people said that the guy the media lied to them about from 2015 until 2024 wasn't that bad after all.
- we now see that "bidenomics" was a disaster after the media decided to stop lying about it and blaming the people for not believing "the stats". job numbers revised down massively after it was no longer viable to lie during the election.
- apparently there was no need for a "bipartisan border bill" or for "congress to act" in order to shut down the border as encounters are down 90% now.
people have their panties in a bunch about tariffs, but I don't understand why reciprocal tariffs are so bad.
it appears that people here are happy for things to go south just so that they could shit on trump. how about having a bit more optimism for the future, even if the near term will be a bit shakey?
I'll just comment on the tariff part. They're bad because they're hostile and they damage economic relationships. Maybe you don't care about economic relationships with China but should very much are about Canada and Mexico, the only countries that border the US! They can find other trade partners, and military alliances are now damaged for a long time. Even if the policies are reversed and a new administration takes over, the US is now an unreliable and unstable partner to have. Tariff's can be a useful trade tool, done for economic reasons and after trade negotiations over time. But consider all the demeaning and hostile remarks about Canada, Mexico, their leaders and their people by the current administration, that is the context where tariff's are being applied.
Make no mistake, the current administration is anything but. They are systemically destroying the nation, so that they can forever rule over the ashes that remain. In the mean time, some groups of people will enjoy the warmth of the nation burning down. I desperately wish I was speaking hyperbole, being emotional or exaggerating.
Oh, and what is bidenomics exactly? he hardly passed any controversial economic policies. Just lots of investment on america and creating jobs, infrastructure,etc.. nothing remotely partisan, except the climate focused stuff maybe.
What demeaning comments were made about Canada and Mexico? As far as I know from reading the comments here, they're just part of Trump's aggressive negotiation tactic - same as the tariffs that are currently being applied.
Perhaps you've missed that Trump and several administration officials keep referring to Canada as the 51st state, stating in no uncertain terms that their goal is to annex Canada. Canadians have definitely not missed that. https://www.westernstandard.news/news/trump-dhs-sec-straddle...
Let me ask you a question. What does the US House of Representatives look like with a new 41 million person state? How about the Senate? I’d say that it’s very blue.
1: Actually, that's not true! I use Leptos in their "islands" mode for server side rendering. The entire page is sent as an HTML response, and there is little/no "hydration". The WASM file ONLY includes interactive "islands" that are explicitly marked with the #[island] attribute [0]. In other words, the server binary is handling most of the rendering, similar to if I used a templating tool like Askama or Tera.
2: Leptos is generally slower than vanilla JS, I believe for that reason, but comparable to major JS frameworks [1, 2].
This is actually one of the dumbest stunts I'd ever seen. InfoWars is nothing without Alex Jones. They've wasted all their money since Alex will start a new project and his viewership will move.
First of all, a judge just overturned this thing, so I hope you're still laughing.
Secondly, if they really paid money for this, they're idiots because InfoWars is meaningless without Alex. He will just start "The Alex Jones Network" and recapture his audience.
All that said, I see that I got downvoted by woke idiots even though I don't even watch Alex Jones.
It has been paused based on normal steps in bankruptcy proceedings[0].
> A court hearing is typically held after a bankruptcy auction to finalize the winning bids and sales, and to hear any objections, so the process in Jones's case hasn't strayed far from the usual — yet.
You seem to think that I care about the audience. It's funny because it's a puppeteer piloting the shambling corpse of Jones's products around to mock him. A constant reminder of his failure he'll see every day.
I don’t understand what you think they want out of this. They don’t want to keep infowars the way it was, nor are they trying to make money off of it. Do you think their goal was to buy it, keep it running without any changes, and keep extracting money from its previous audience?
A group of political scientists published this piece back in October, before the election. They predicted every state correctly, a popular vote victory for Trump, and 3/4 chance of Trump victory in Electoral College.
The same people, using the same model, predicted a Biden victory in 2020 and 49/50 states correctly (they missed Georgia, which they predicted for Trump back then).
Their model uses the following fundamentals, for each state:
1. State deviation from national vote in t-1 election
2. Presidential approval rating in each state (estimated with Multilevel Regression and Post-stratification)
3. Economic conditions in each state (personal income deflated by CPI, unemployment rate, non-farm payroll employment, manufacturing hours by production workers)
4. Presidential and VP home-field advantage adjustments if they apply in the state
5. If VP runs, an adjustment to account for difference in approval rating between P and VP in question
