So, a few months ago China launched Deepseek and the narrative on US media was all "the fact they didn't have access to the latest Nvidia GPUs forced them to get creative and develop a model that is more efficient and cheaper".

Now the US is getting behind on "AI wars" because China has more energy for huge data centers?

How about the US get creative and develop LLMs that are actually useful and can work without sucking Gigafucks of electricity?

I don't know how much Musk can be separated from Starlink. Not only because Starlink, as part of SpaceX, is privately held but also because the main reason they now have a superior service to offer is that they got fucktons of money from government customers, which is also tied to Musk's action

A big part of Musk's involvement with politics is because everything he does, from EVs to rockets to, now, big energy-guzzling datacenters for AI, needs a lot of government backing, if not in terms of direct contracts at least in terms of regulation and incentives.

Even his direct involvement with Trump wasn't because he suddenly became a Nazi (he's probably always been one, according to his own family) but in order to become even more entangled with government investments, even trying to control NASA directly.

And not only US governments. I remember Musk suddenly being everywhere in Europe pitching Starlink. Meloni's government in Italy was grilled for allegedly agreeing on a big contract with Starlink.

but not in this order, the reverse would be so much more satisfying

But it's also actually a good point. There are a lot of namely European brands that have been outsourcing production out of Europe.

Should I boycott McDonald's by not buying hamburgers made with (hopefully) meat that was sourced, prepared and cooked in Europe by local workers and then buy Prada bags manufactured in China?

With modern companies it's so hard!

Right now I prefer to boycott McDonald's more for the political message it sends than careful analysis of where the money flows: if enough people stop going to McDonald's it's easy to draw a line between "US administration starting trade wars" to "iconic US brands sales in Europe drop", but it's not like McDonald's is inherently more evil than some big European brands.

I initially parsed it as "the US reached 37 billion years before..." like it was a sci-fi apocalyptic piece set in the far future

I tried researching this a bit and you are right that it's not a Comaps-specific issue but more with the general OSM ecosystem.

It seems to be a chicken-and-egg situation in the sense that there are ways to tag temporary closures but they are not recommended for short-lived data because many apps use data offline and have long update cycles.

I'm referring to this bit in the page on key:construction

As OSM data is often used offline (and therefore may be several months old), only tag construction sites (particularly roads and railroads) if they are planned to be closed for at least six to nine months.

There is some work being done at Google Summer of Code 2025 to add road closures and more real-time events that might impact navigation. I'm looking forward to see if it pans out.

I think there is so much real footage of Trump and Epstein that deepfakes would actually help Trump. "It's all fake! Witch hunt!"

I think having delayed updates to maps is worse though.

For one it can create duplicates, as multiple people try adding rhe same shop. I didn't know that was the reason but I did find some shops I had added that had been also mapped by someone else a few meters away.

It also looks like a limitation to adding things that may change more frequently, like ongoing works temporary blocking a road or a speed trap.

ah, dear old copy/paste.... It's funny that even OpenAI doesn't trust ChatGPT enough to give more personalized LLM-generated answers.

And this sounds exactly like the type of use case AI agents are supposedly so great at that they will replace all human workers (according to Altman at least). Any time now!

The real mind behind all this has always been Autopen. I hope Megatron gets finally vindicated when the truth comes out

actually Donnie's friends prefer to fuck high school students

"you can't have a successful government when every time I want to be President or have sex with minors or anything else you have the right to do as a rich, white man, you have to hear people get all judgy"

ok, I took one for the team and actually read the article. And the title (surprise!) is click-bait.

Vance casually informed a comedian over dinner what’s in the files connected to Jeffrey Epstein while trying to downplay their significance

They are now basically saying that the 10.000 hours of video evidence are all just commercial pornography, not videos of famous people. They are also saying Pam Bondi is not an idiot though, so I don't exactly trust their judgement (although I do trust Vance to watch 10,000 hours of commercial pornography to make sure his couch is not featured in there)

if they are his dinner guests, he was probably just telling them "I saw your name in there! And yours! And yours! And... look, this one's me!"

That's what I was trying to say: there doesn't need to be any record or even reasonable suspicion that you did something. If Trump accuses you of it, then you know it's something that he (Trump) has done.

It's the classic 4d-chess unbeatable "NO U" move.

Aren't some Southern US accents similar to British? Honest question, not trolling. My english is not good enough to tell but I was pointed to Jerry Hall (who's from Texas) as an example

Once you know his deflection drill it's almost funny how you can tell what Trump has just done or is planning to do soon by checking what he's currently accusing his opponents of.

"Pizzagate/pedophile democrat ring" was clearly projection of him and Epstein doing their thing

Then the " stolen elections" and now "Treason"....

Obama has two daughters, surprised I haven't seen accusations of incestuous feelings (yet?)

The part I find interesting is the quick addiction to working with the LLM (to the point that the guy finds his own estimate of 8000 dollars/month in fees to be reasonable), his over-reliance for things that, from the way he writes, he knows are not wise and the way it all comes crashing down in the end. Sounds more and more like the development of a new health issue.

I wonder if it can be used legally against the company behind the model, though. I doubt that it's possible, but having a "your own model says it effed up my data" could give some beef to a complaint. Or at least to a request to get a refund on the fees.

I don't know if that is copy-pasted from the original or quoted badly, but there are a lot of typos in there. I am not reading a lot of Trump's rants: is this just how he usually writes or is he being particularly emotional?
