yeah bro, the people in power will just go ahead and hand it over to semi-retarded chatbots

no matter how many events prove them to be laughably wrong, they keep deluding themselves into thinking that the values held in their extremely isolated bubbles are commonplace.

like yeah, sure bro, people see a $50K car and purse their lips because musk is le bad. just like they do about BMWs and Porsches, right?

123yawaworht456on New EU rules on digital accessibility to come into force

it's not overreach, it's deliberate racketeering. fining American companies is a non-insignificant chunk of EU budget at this point, so new nebulous laws and rules need to be invented to keep the racket up.

123yawaworht456on Ask HN: How Does DeepSeek "Thinks"?

any model, MoE or not, can be sharded over multiple devices (separate GPUs on a single machine or separate machines via network), yeah. but your question was "Do several LLMs communicate with each other before providing a solution?", and in this context (Deepseek's thinking), the answer is definitely "no".

models can communicate with one another via tool calling, sure, and there are hypothetical workflows where agents delegate tasks to other agents (with inference being done on different models), but that simply isn't the case here.

>Do several LLMs communicate with each other before providing a solution?

>I wonder what technological aspect makes this possible.

one of its training datasets (prioritized somehow over the rest of them) contains a large number of examples emulating the thinking process within <think></think> tags before providing an output. the model then emulates it at runtime.

>Why would the skin color of those who lived there 1000 years ago be relevant to anything? I don't see many Americans advocating for an expulsion of all non-indians (rightly so).

it's kind of too late to expel non-indians, because there are virtually no indians left.

there's a lesson to be learned from their fate, don't you think?

>Also, when was the last time a nationalist wave led to anything good for anyone? All I can recall is ruin and suffering.

well, a fairly recent example would be Ukraine, which would be a Russian province now if it wasn't for their ethnic - yes, ethnic, not civic - nationalism.

123yawaworht456on How Monero Fulfilled Satoshi's Promise

this place is only good for reading about topics that don't get opinionated coverage from the media. otherwise, you just get regurgitated diarrhea from people who are incapable of forming their own opinions or keep their existing opinions in face of adversity, when the overton window shifts.

crypto got heavily bombarded with bad press at some point during COVID era - I remember seeing 2-3 articles per day on the front page here, for weeks, about how le bad it is for the environment, etc. and that was enough to change the public sentiment here from indifference to knee-jerk, Pavlovian reaction to anything related to it.

123yawaworht456on How often are children genetically unrelated to their presumed fathers?

>Between the unfairness to make an adult pay for a child who isn't theirs and the unfairness to throw an innocent child into financial distress, protecting the child takes priority everywhere I know of.

I wonder how would you react if you received a notification that half your paycheck will be henceforth withheld to support some random kid.

this comparison is not entirely fair, because in this scenario, the kid's mother did not deliver a grievous, unforgivable insult to you - which is the case with those poor souls who got scammed into paying child support for some whore's bastard whelp.

the state doesn't give a flying fuck about the child's 'financial distress'. the state simply doesn't want to support it.

123yawaworht456on How often are children genetically unrelated to their presumed fathers?

it's "cuck".

123yawaworht456on How often are children genetically unrelated to their presumed fathers?

to those people, "normal" is abhorrent. desiring normalcy means you are a (insert an appropriate accusatory pejorative). expressing opposition to any degenerate behavior inevitably draws ire from the bourgeois folx.

>And when they start conscripting in big cities, maybe those "poor" "innocent" Russians will finally do something about their government.

no guns. and that's why your benevolent overlords want to take your guns away too.

I see these snarky reddity comments all the time, and you people seriously fail to grasp the difference between authoritarian shitholes like Russia and China and your glorious liberal democracies, where your cities burn while cops stand around doing nothing because the local government is terrified of bad optics. in Russia, civil unrest gets put down with extreme prejudice.

a regime like that can only fail when even its eunuch servants and attack dogs aren't getting paid and fed. otherwise, your imaginary revolutionaries with sticks, stones and molotovs will get mowed down en masse, the survivors will get 15 years in gulag, and all without a peep from the local media.

123yawaworht456on Ask HN: Does Hacker News consist mostly of real people?

>If so, they're silently voting, not engaged in the comments.

it's blatantly obvious with political submissions (which, imho, should be summarily banned from HN)

"Random nobody says X is le good" gets upvoted all the way to the frontpage within minutes with zero comments

"New research suggests X is not le good" gets [flagged] as soon as it gets traction.

where X is one of those many things that terminally online, emotionally unstable people feel strongly about.

>After she told me she wanted to be with me for life?

well, as you saw, it wasn't really the case, was it? I don't mean to rub salt into the wound, but she's been fucking that guy long before that conversation with you.

I'm glad to hear that it had all worked out for you in the end. never second-guess your decision to reject that suggestion.

>I wasn't terribly happy with that response, and she broke up with me a week later

my brother in Christ, you should've broken up with her on the spot.
