@CPofCN XHS (and most of Chinese tech such as Wechat) is too monopolistic. There exist too many barriers to lock users into their ecosystem. And they arbitrarily create rules to punish 3rd parties, such as when WeChat banned logins to MiHoYo, and when XHS bans links in your bio so you cannot "send users offsite"

@VladChituc Big difference is that AI is general. It can fuel anything downstream. Shit like DNA sequencing and lithium batteries…

@AnthropicAI there was miscounted usage. this is not possible, must be a bug. I didn't do anything and overnight you're saying I used 29% of my weekly?

On May 1, 1945, the most dangerous part of General Krebs's day wasn't the Red Army. It was the walk home past his own soldiers.

.

Chapter 1: THE ANSWER
Hitler had been dead since the afternoon before.

Krebs spent the morning across the table from General Chuikov, trying to buy a ceasefire.

Moscow sent one answer: unconditional surrender.

At 13:08 Moscow time, he left. Chuikov says he came back up the stairs twice. First for his gloves. Then for a map case he never had.

.

Chapter 2: THE WIRE
Hours earlier, Krebs and Chuikov had sent a party to lay a field telephone cable to the Führerbunker.

Colonel Theodor von Dufving walked ahead under a white flag.

Behind him, Soviet signallers paid out the wire.

.

Chapter 3: THE WHITE FLAG
At the German barricade, someone opened fire.

A Soviet signals major went down, hit in the head.

Waffen-SS men arrested von Dufving for treason.

He got a telephone only at gunpoint. He reached Martin Bormann, Hitler's right hand.

The SS were unimpressed. "Only S.S. orders are valid here."

It took SS General Mohnke coming to the phone.

.

Chapter 4: THE SECRET
Why shoot at your own envoys?

Because outside the bunker, almost nobody knew Hitler was dead.

- In the bunker: the Führer is a corpse.
- At the barricades: the Führer's orders still stand.

His order of 22 April was blunt. Anyone weakening the resistance was a traitor, to be shot or hanged on the spot.

Even if the order came in Goebbels's name. Even in Hitler's.

.

EPILOGUE
Krebs crossed the line in daylight.

Nobody fired.

By about 13:00 Berlin time he was back in the bunker, in front of Goebbels, Bormann and Weidling, with the terms in his pocket.

What they decided is part 4.

i feel for whoever at Google needs to copywrite the bullshit explaining 5 models. 2 of which are useless and 3 of which are obsolete.

TLDR; A chocolate crepe from Taipei against a French one. Then a fish crepe won.

.

Chapter 1: THE FRENCH
Trader Joe's chocolate crêpe wafers.
Crunchy. Chocolatey. A tier.

.

Chapter 2: THE CHINESE
I-Mei puff pastry, from Taipei.
Soft. Fluffy. Ginormous.
C tier.

.

Chapter 3: THE FISH
A salmon egg roll he kept off the table.
Salty. Savory. His favorite.
A tier.

@AMK_Mapping_ there must be a measurement gap here, no way the reason numbers are this skewed...

@YouJiacheng Yes us meatbags are donezo 😂

@gregpr07 Can websites detect CDP? I’ve used it for uploading stuff and they detected it

[Just Ding @JustDingIt]

can't wait for Google to announce Gemini 4 Dubnium so we can have 2 SOTA models that we can't use 😊

[Just Ding @JustDingIt]

yeah this shit is getting automated so easy 😂

you’re gonna be swallowing your words soon enough.

Anything you can describe, you can formalize, AI can already solve. You seriously think a model that can solve Navier Stokes or 3SAT can’t make a fucking door in a game?

Every asshole thinks the same thing about their field “oooohhh my field is special AI can’t automate it”. Terrance Tao even felt that way until GPT Bel.

The hard thing lies in task that you can’t describe or formalize. Like “make me a fun game” that will be hard for a long time.

@_nagiEx What’s the faint blue lines?

@D162Michele Jeez.

@ruima > since Jensen is an American

You really think so?

[Just Ding @JustDingIt]

Korean is not a "hard" language, it is a hard language FOR YOU.

All languages are equally easy, otherwise you would see children acquire their native language at different ages.

This pervasive hurr durr Chinese is hard, Korean is hard etc is a springboard for a million different Anglocentric tendencies.

We give ourselves White names cause our names are "hard," we prioritize catering to other languages because ours are hard.

As a linguist, you should know better.

[Aster (stella azurea) @stella_azurea]

I'm speaking as a linguist, but I worry there's going to be a perpetual problem with Korean second language education as long as Korean people still have this psychological trap of thinking the language is "easy" (it's not out of pure vanity, there really are a lot of traps)

@Dhanow its a poor map, you've labeled the provinces as if they're cities
