i don’t know how anyone can deny we’re deep into the cool zone now at this point, i honestly just feel this deep dread within myself every time i think about current events these days i even logged off this site for a while but fuck

a CV90120 weighs less lmao u don’t even need to look outside western tech to see how shit this thing is (even if the gap it addresses is useful)

i feel like boomer is just in practice gen Xer, could be wrong tho

Immanuel Kant

based, we immanent in this house, take your transcendent critique back to liberalism

if von der leyen actually caves to trump i will personally tie up every euro federalist and force them to self crit GCPR style in an actual literal struggle session

market and VC can do it better.

damn if they can do it better why haven’t they done so yet then?

as per usual then i fear.

can someone explain what’s going on with the whole abundance thing the libs are trying to sell btw like what sort of theorists/schools of thought are they drawing on and what are they even advocating for

i work in the legal sector nowadays in a country that’s not the united states in a somewhat libby sector so that explains it on my end lol

missed those too, my first thought was ‘damn are we really this late to the dsa dating discourse?’

i think chuds are still more evil but on a day to day basis i barely ever run into them either online or irl whereas everybody is a lib so its easier for me to forget how evil the chuds are tbh

the more i started caring about fitness the more vain and i guess bdd-mode i became because i found it was the only way i was able to make myself stick to it, internalising disgust at how i felt about myself. this isn’t something i’ve solved so it’s kind of an offhand comment but yeah. i’m not really sure what to do about it since i full well understand how this is bad intellectually but at a certain point it’s become almost reflexive.

no sportsball comm to post this in but that luka to LA trade would be fucking absurd if its real lmao

lmao some eu lib with a deng pfp is pro china now. ‘And when Xi will go, a more liberal leader will come.’

source: ML guy i know so this could be entirely unsubstantiated but apparently the main environmental burden of LLM infrastructure comes from training new models not serving inference from already deployed models.

very normal thing to order

i think the left has been reflexively anti-LLMs because they haven’t been up until recently worth the squeeze, they’re emblematic of the continued ignorance of the climate crisis, the worst techbros you know are all in on them, and they’re antithetical to the intentionalist view of art, and it’s a convenient excuse to cut down on labour costs which are all imo perfectly good reasons to dislike LLMs but i think people are a bit blind to how accurate they’ve become and still have a view of their tendency to hallucinate based on GPT-3.5 and the memes about google’s search summary being confidently incorrect, the latter which is representative of the absolute cheapest bottom of the barrel LLM google has (gemini-flash) and not SOTA which admittedly google has not really pushed.

thinking of some tweet i saw maybe like two weeks ago about how chinese genshin’s worldbuilding is because everything is extremely bureaucratic and un-feudal

new zealand is super suburban/rural, basically wellington and auckland’s cbd are like the only urban areas of the country so yeah.

dunno what to think about the little red book migration tbh. on one level, it’s sorta nice to see china and chinese culture finally be ‘cool’ in a way that it hasn’t in a long time, but there’s this sort of gawky ‘look at the quirky orientals’ quality that i sorta get from it too. ultimately it’s a positive thing, and i think part of it is just due to excitement too but i think it’s worth bringing up.
