Good answer. Too bad the people that should get the message are barely literate.

> The natives in Europe are white. You are bundling a lot of ethnicities, many of those who historically had major grievances amongst themselves, in race bullshit very specific to …

I both don't believe that the white population is being replaced, and even if it was, I don't care. I am not a racist, my family tree does not resemble a circle. Issues of migratio…

It's not some chaps from Eastern Europe, Latin America, or Africa that threaten me. My neighbor is Nigerian, dude is chill. Loves football, takes his children to the local playgrou…

It's pervasive. Especially when it is people from the US commenting on the EU.

I live in Europe, and I have a family. If you are not a moronic racist, #1 is a non-issue. As for #2, Volkswagen is far from going out of business. In any case, trade with China ca…

When AI start to do the activity of 200 Grindr users I'll get more concerned.

> The recently announced they're raising their prices 10x right? No. They sent an email to customers saying that they will raise prices "significantly". How much that will be is sp…

$5 a day is pretty extreme in DeepSeek. You really have to abuse it to get anywhere close to it. Maybe something in around hundreds of millions of tokens per day, considering cache…

Tech companies are mired in debt. They need interest rates to go down. Higher unemployment makes it harder to raise interest rates.

I enjoy coding, but I always sort of hated working in tech. It's something I do because I get paid well to do it, I happen to be good at it. It was ironic that I was at my most mis…

Everyone is sad? I'm pretty neutral. I was pretty neutral before too.

This reply must have cost dozens of dollars.

> They require constant supervision I think that may be part of it. LLMs can be autonomous to an extent. All of them need steering - which is why I feel they are more a superpower …

That may be true. I switched to DeepSeek entirely once I decided to put 10 bucks on it and I realized that it could do whatever I was throwing at Claude or ChatGPT prior to that. I…

There's stuff in my town that I don't mind being there, but they are "over there" enough not to bother me.

May they build a data center next to your home. It's always nice to be close to things we cherish dearly.

This fanfic was peak HN

lol it doesn't. I put 10 bucks on DeepSeek almost 3 months ago. I still have 2 bucks there. I think I used so far something in the vicinity of 300M tokens total. Even if they doubl…

I recently moved entirely to Pi, and I am really enjoying the journey so far. I am slowly shaping it to the way I like to work. It's a bit of a bumpy start, but there are two benef…

The problem is the numbers and the timeframe. I avoid making predictions on tech: - AI may speed up on improvements and be a singularity moment, truly a new industrial revolution. …

It's difficult to trust the viability of this when the amount of money that it needs to generate as revenue is in the "several trillions" ballpark just for "break-even". If you ass…

I choose evaluate claims on their merit. Many times in the past I was convinced by good arguments that came from people I dislike. I think Zitron is wrong in the usefulness of AI; …

I don't know. But the economics of it, at least from the outside, smell funny. Some people are anxious that AI will take people's jobs. I'm not. I say this as a daily user. LLMs ca…
