@RazorFist@RandMcNally84 I also think when the Bible says "Love thy neighbour" or "stranger" or something, the Bible assumes your neighbour or stranger is at least a fellow Christian and not an amoral humanoid from far-far away without knowledge of at least the basics.
# of little beeps and reminders in cars these days is getting truly ridiculous. I want to be able to permanently turn them all off - but laws
Whoever is crafting these stupid little beeping policies - they are the fauci of the car industry
In America, every drive shouldn’t have to be an exercise in Pavlovian dynamics at gunpoint from industry bureaucrat.
@pieter_haeck@thomas_spaas Sommige Amerikaanse staten hebben constant bosbranden. Sommige niet.
Bosbeleid is competent beleid. Prevelen over klimaat bij hoogstwaarschijnlijk aangestoken branden is dat niet.
Als het vaccin negatieve invloed had op het succes van de zwangerschap, wil ik graag de Belgische charlatans er op wijzen dat zij, in tegenstelling tot Fauci, geen pardon hebben gekregen, en van mij ook niet zullen krijgen.
My wife is a nurse. She was pregnant during the pandemic. Her best friend is also nurse and she too was pregnant during the pandemic. She and her husband had been trying for a long time and this was their first.
They were both well into their pregnancies when the hospital that they work for started mandating full time employees get vaccinated. The hospital was pushing the vaccine so hard and the rhetoric was so crazy that they were both worried if it would even deliver their babies if they were not vaccinated. That's how scared they made people.
My wife and I decided immediately that there was no chance she was getting vaccinated while carrying our baby. She was only a couple months from giving birth so she tried to stall. She filed for an exemption, it was denied. She used whatever PTO she had. Then she quit full time and went part time. She made it through and gave birth to our beautiful, healthy, love of my life baby boy, vaccine free.
My wife's friend was just a couple months away from giving birth when she succumbed to the pressure to get vaccinated. She and her husband had already set up their daughter's room. They named her Penelope.
She was full term when she started having stomach pains. She thought she was in labor so she went to the hospital. The doctor told her that her baby was no longer alive. They induced labor and she delivered a dead little girl. Afterwards the doctor told her that a blood clot caused the death of her baby.
When my wife's friend sees our son she still gets emotional because her daughter would have been the same age as him. It breaks our hearts to see her still so heartbroken. What happened during the pandemic was just pure evil.
🚨 A recording of DeepSeek’s founder has been leaked! They finally said the quiet part out loud, and it may cost DeepSeek a $71 billion valuation.
For years Washington accused Chinese labs of smuggling banned Nvidia chips and running on borrowed American silicon. Beijing called it paranoia. Then, on July 22, a recording from a closed-door investor meeting held by DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng leaked and tore across Chinese networks. In it, Liang confirms nearly every suspicion himself.
We know how a founder sounds when he thinks the door is shut. Liang was not selling. He was confessing. DeepSeek, he admitted, holds only about 20,000 Nvidia H-series-equivalent chips, most delivered in just the past month or two. Even if the company burned every yuan of its 50-billion-RMB first round, he said flatly, it "couldn't afford to train" a frontier model. "Even if we stacked one up, we couldn't afford to run it."
Then came the number that should end the "China has caught up" narrative. America's largest models run roughly 80 billion active parameters; China's best sit in the tens of billions, a full order of magnitude behind. By his own account, Chinese labs can only train models "ten times smaller" than their US rivals.
The domestic-chip fairytale fared no better. Huawei boasted on July 17 that its Ascend 950 SuperPod delivers 6.7 times the compute of Nvidia's comparable rack. Liang's private math: four Huawei 950s to match a single Nvidia GB300, and two years behind on process. The 16,000 Huawei cards he has been allocated? Equivalent, he shrugged, to about 4,000 Nvidia B-series chips, "not a big deal."
So where does the real compute come from? Liang says it plainly: "We can buy some non-compliant cards," meaning chips under US export controls. That is not a loophole. That is a smuggling supply chain, and it now has a founder's voice attached to it.
The enforcement trail backs him up. In March, a Supermicro co-founder and a Taiwanese middleman were arrested for reselling restricted chips into China. In June, Taiwanese prosecutors raided a board maker and detained executives over the same trade. Washington has since warned that a chip's location no longer matters: if the user or parent company sits in China, the controls follow it.
That is the trap DeepSeek just walked into. Liang thought he was rallying nervous investors with "positive energy." Instead he handed the US Commerce Department a confession, exposed how wide Beijing's compute gap really runs, and spooked his own backers badly enough to freeze a round that would have valued the company at $71 billion, up 37 percent from June.
DeepSeek has not confirmed the tape's authenticity and will not touch the funding question. It does not need to. The most damaging testimony against China's AI miracle did not come from a US agency or a rival lab. It came from the man Beijing keeps holding up as proof that it is winning.

"Hij" heeft maar macht over 25% van het budget, en dit is relatief krimpend. De rest probeert "hij" te verminderen door massale illegaliteit en fraude aan te pakken.
Interesten (14%) zullen misschien (!) binnenkort bedwongen worden met de nieuwe op de federal reserve.
There was a leftist with a communist neck tattoo who got to walk into Bethesda studios and come out with a job while you were worried about being too right wing around your colleagues.
Hey eh, Sovjet-N-Va, CD of V, nihilisten van VLD, zou je alstublief willen stoppen met subsidies te geven aan mensen en organisaties die mij haten?
Ik geef al niet graag mijn geld uit aan dingen die ik leuk vind.
