  • Wouldn’t Turkey or someone sour this?

    But if it’s actually possible, that’s fascinating… if Ukraine can’t push back quickly, wouldn’t it “force” an end to the war? Russia would have a red line it absolutely can’t cross, no hope of advancement, and likely just claim everything on the other side. Surely they wouldn’t continue a grinding stalemate where Ukraine has a “safe zone” to operate out of.

    If Ukraine does retain its ability to push back hard by the time this happens, and doesn’t go for a truce, then that’s especially peculiar. Walling off a part of their territory as actually untouchable seems like a massive strategic advantage for Ukraine.




  • Well, it’s not over.

    This is coming next week. Path is unclear, and its not as big as Helene, but anything near a 930mb in Tampa Bay and plowing over Orlando at 950mb, especially at this angle, is a catastrophe.

    Katrina was 920mb at landfall, and these intensity forecasts have been undershooting hurricanes recently.

    And there’s another low pressure system at the edge of the GFS that I don’t like, taking a similar path to Helene:

    This is what the upcoming hurricane looked like a few days ago.




  • A letter seen by Reuters, sent by Vivaldi, Waterfox, and Wavebox, and supported by a group of web developers, also supports Opera’s move to take the EC to court over its decision to exclude Microsoft Edge from being subject to the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

    OK…

    Shouldn’t they be fighting Chrome, more than anything? Surely there’s a legal avenue for that, though I guess there’s a risk of getting deprioritized by Google and basically disappearing.



  • I somehow didnt’ get a notification for its post, but thats a terrible idea lol.

    We already have AI horde, and it has nothing to do with blockchain. We also have APIs and GPU services… that have nothing to do with blockchain, and have no need for blockchain.

    Someone apparently already tried the scheme you are describing, and absolutely no one in the wider AI community uses it.



  • I would only use the open source models anyway, but it just seems rather silly from what I can tell.

    I feel like the last few months have been an inflection point, at least for me. Qwen 2.5, and the new Command-R, really make a 24GB GPU feel “dumb, but smart,” useful enough so I pretty much always keep Qwen 32B loaded on the desktop for its sheer utility.

    It’s still in the realm of enthusiast hardware (aka a used 3090), but hopefully that’s about to be shaken up with bitnet and some stuff from AMD/Intel.

    Altman is literally a vampire though, and thankfully I think he’s going to burn OpenAI to the ground.
