topherpalmtree··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
Any nation alone in a world of nations with strong alliances is weak.

Your comment deflects to reasons for the war. It does not address the core argument that it really wasn't a peace deal and that Russia commonly violates ceasefires. What good is a ceasefire when you know that Russia will violate it?

Doesn't sound like a deal (good or bad) at all. It's a paper prop for Trump to wave around and exchange for a gold star from Putin.

As far as the US and allies are concerned, this is very simply a war for the protection of Ukraine's sovereignty. Now that the US changed into a wannabe imperialistic nation, the picture is not so clear.

Whoever thinks that Russia will ever consider the US as an ally probably doesn't have a great sense of how Russia views itself and the US.

They'll play the part of ally, to a limited degree, when their stooges in Western Democracies don't have any demands of them. But no amount of trade will change their priorities as far as diminishing the dollar with something they at least partially control.

It's a ceasefire, not a peace deal. With a party who has no history of honoring ceasefires.

Trump wants all of their mineral resources for a flimsy ceasefire. With no concessions from Russia.

It's a bad deal. Would you fold because people would die when your sovereignty is threatened?

The US walks alone now. Vulnerable and weak.

Your feelings don't matter.

Nypost? This is essentially jpm propaganda.
topherpalmtree··on The tech downturn seen through Hacker News comments
Do you get the sense it’s for profit padding or is there a downturn in business? If there is a downturn in business, is that downturn related to Covid measures at the consumer or business level?
topherpalmtree··on The tech downturn seen through Hacker News comments
What tech downturn?
topherpalmtree··on How I raised a $5.1M seed as a first-time, female, solo founder for a biotech co
Yeah, much less a working product. Tech vc is sprinkling money around hoping to grow magic. If you have revenue it probably isn’t speculative magic revenue.
topherpalmtree··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
Wait until people realize gcp might not exist after 2022 if it’s not profitable. Better pay for it than have your platform yanked out from under you.
topherpalmtree··on An Update from Robinhood’s Founders
Yeah but your business decision was to be a high stakes gambling platform to begin with
topherpalmtree··on An Update from Robinhood’s Founders
Yeah seriously if you have > a few hundred in options on robinhood. And you’re waiting until the day they expire to unload them. You’re dumb or don’t care about your money.
topherpalmtree··on DVC – Open Source Machine Learning Version Control System
allows you to track the progress of your models. You can improve reproducibility by having a tool like this to track training/testing data, you can use this to see where that data was used to train or test a specific model, the parameters with which that model is built, and how that model affects downstream model performance.
topherpalmtree··on DVC – Open Source Machine Learning Version Control System
They use cloud storage backends as remotes aws, google cloud, azure. No specific git lfs support. But possible compatibility by using it to track the dvc cache.
