I’ve said this before. The Chinese models are significantly better and will outcompete the models from the US, it was just a matter of people realizing that.

My other prediction, being that they will lobby for tariffs or banning Chinese models outright also seems to be coming true.

A Dark-Money Campaign Is Paying Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a Threat

Build American AI, a nonprofit linked to a super PAC bankrolled by executives at OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, is funding a campaign to spread pro-AI messaging and stoke fears about China.

I do wonder how Europe is going to react. Will they just focus on their home grown Mistral or will they consider Chinese open weight models? I feel like the EU is quite wary of anything Chinese and that many people won’t fully comprehend the actual security risk and that they will initially dismiss are avoid them, but they can’t ignore it forever. Qwen 3.6 35B which can be ran at home is already leaving Mistral’s latest models in the dust.

E.g. when you have a proprietary program that is only available on x86, but you want to run it on ARM.

I found that most electrical boxes and cellular antennas aren’t mapped. I suspect for that reason.

Yes, Reddit and Discord

Why not just use F-Droid?

Two years later, Masnick coined the name when writing about Marco Beach Ocean Resort’s takedown notice to urinal.net (a site dedicated to photographs of urinals) over its use of the resort’s name.

I guess that exists

Tip, get a domain with your last name so you can immediately change the name and have the old email redirect to the new

Wat is het toch een mooi taaltje

They’re using the same software (Forgejo)

It seems like you’re referring to dotfiles. You can manage these using a git bare repo.

Follow up, do people still buy calendars?

Buy? Yes, several times

Use? No

Could you make a graph with defederations? I suspect that plays a role

I think they’re defederated from poorly moderated instances and therefore don’t need to ban as many users. Perhaps db0 doesn’t defederate as often?

I’m not seeing that behavior on Jerboa

Interesting, I never knew what that strange monospaced font was

I haven’t

I feel like I often recognize others, but I obviously can’t tell who I don’t recognize 🤷

A belief without anything to base it off? CPU’s shouldn’t have tried so hard to get faster and should just have gotten more cores a decade ago. Why bother with fancy branch prediction systems to make one thing faster than it should when it’s switching between hundreds of tasks anyway.

People only read the title, not the article

You can’t require reading the article before someone vote/comment, but what if communities could enable “ponder voting” where users can only vote 30 seconds after viewing the post? This would prevent people from scrolling by from voting, but people who at least slightly skim the article first won’t be affected.

Probably not viably due to it having to be supported by all platforms, but just a thought.

EDIT: It could work by returning a JWT with a post ID and time when fetching the post and having the vote endpoint support providing it. Although, I can also see it being a bit annoying and being trivially bypassed by adding some code to the client.

You could use something like Kopia and only include the files you want
