Incorrect, not talking about politics does not signal any political affiliation. I think the "everything is political" statement is technically correct but practically useless. In the workplace the discussion is mostly about allow

Global hegemony of the US is based not on 5% of people, rather the US sphere of influence. US, Canada, EU, Japan, Australia, South Korea, etc. The combination is immensely rich, powerful and advanced. Even more so when you keep India on boa

Mini means the size of the model (less parameters) "o" means "omni", which means its multimodal.

I donated my old gaming PC to my nephew (20 y/o). I told him that owning it also means maintaining it. I don't have time for that. Figure it out, "digital native". Within 2 days he had it ruined. Kept running hot and cra

Yes, you're welcome. I'm from the Netherlands, middle-aged and have never met a person in my circles with a genuine hate of America or Americans. There's plenty of critique on the state of US society, but that doesn't tr

I've always considered that it would make sense for there to be a "green right". When conservative and rural and rejecting (some) modernity, I would expect one to appreciate and want to conserve nature as well as a lifestyle

Appreciate the fresh thinking. Until the 90s, that's the trajectory we were on. For life to constantly get better whilst human servitude is lessened over time. We should be getting ever shorter work weeks and earlier retirement ages. I

Can you be more specific in what you mean by that?

How about a strategy of malicious compliance? Wallpaper is a US flag. Home screen shows Truth Social, X and 4-chan. Smartphone cover displays a roaring eagle.

I think there's ways for teachers to embrace AI in teaching. Let AI generate a short novel. The student is tasked to read it and criticize what's wrong with it. This requires focus and advanced reading comprehension. Show 4 AI-gen

To me (European), there is no strategy behind these tariffs other than Trump's thirst for a dominant display. Just to show that he can, that he has the cards. He introduces a shocking measure and then wants to humiliate the affected by

My utopian vision to combat the threat of China (dependency, war, etc.) is as follow. We should form a "Super West". Instead of a divorce between the US and EU and others, the exact opposite should happen: an unbreakable union wit

Your housing analogy is incomplete and inaccurate. Imagine that I overhear you wanting that home but I front run you. Not because I also love that house, I just buy it because I heard you like it and so that you can't have it. I don&#x

I'm no Dorsey fan but he was right when he said that Bluesky is recreating Twitter. You can offer a million feeds but people want a "discover/hot" tab, it's the dopamine slot machine. The median user doesn't bu

Germany is the largest industrial power after the US and China. What on earth do you mean "punching below its weight"?

You say foreign companies will move manufacturing to the US or cede the market. You leave out the most likely option: everything will stay the same yet you pay more for your imports.

"Sipes confirmed Mozilla would ultimately end up charging for the features" I totally understand why and it's fair, but if you want to take on gmail, you just lost. Google is dominant because most of its services are free.

This won't bring home manufacturing but let's say that it will... The US doesn't have the people to do the actual manufacturing. I saw a video recently explaining how sectors like the military, construction and the automotive

Just out of curiosity, I wish online LLMs would show real-time power usage and actual dollar costs as you interact with it. It would be so insightful to understand to which degree the technology is subsidized and what the actual value/

The authoritarian right's playbook is simple but brilliantly effective. The roadmap ends with a strong man dictator that has removed any and all hurdles towards absolute power so that the agenda can be implemented without compromise. A

Just get a wired business headset. No lag, no echo, great audio quality both ways. When I know one of my peers made a sizable audio investment, as of then I pretend I can barely hear them.

Totally agree. I also consider it weird that in a group call somebody could be directly staring at you but you can't tell. Highly unnatural.

Stated positions do not erase decade-old associations, which are fully exploited by Republicans in a media system that is largely theirs. I'd say stated policy positions don't matter period. Nobody reads policy documents, it'

This is bad news for entire genres of books, TV shows and movies that are based on the supreme competence, sophistication and wealth of the Pentagon, NSA and CIA. Turns out US military strategy is the same as me and my mates setting up a ba

I see the problem differently, although in a useless way. The shortest day still has 7-8 hours of daylight. There's no shortage of daylight, we have too much work.

I'm disgusted by the mindset that companies should be able to do whatever they want when it comes to technology as impactful and revolutionary as AI. AI sucks up the collective blood, sweat and tears of human work without permission or

What Russia wants is just that...a want. Their position where they allow for no compromises is a bluff where they bet nobody dares to call their bluff. Which might be a good bet, we'll see.
