What does the authoritarian China have to do with socialism? They are a lot closer to state capitalism than anything imo. This just reads as propaganda. I think the world respects China about as much as people repect the States, that is to say not at all, only fear and or distrust at best.
The repairability of EVs is shit. Tesla doesn’t sell off the shelf parts for example. There is no Toyota Corolla of EVs or anyone going in that direction, as far as I can see, especially for the west.
There would need to be a battery tech breakthrough, right to repair laws, standardization ect. Lithium batteries are too expensive and they are not getting cheaper.
It’s very on brand for California to outright ban something the poors use in the name of saving the climate. All while looking the other way at big business like OpenAi
If they really wanted to reduce petroleum using cars they could remove or reduce minimum parking, zoning laws, ban strodes in urban environments, require protected bike lanes ect.
Walkable cities and affordable public transportation is the real answer, but the absurdly rich and authoritarian neolib CA prefers lip service, green washing, and gentrification.
I can’t tell too much from the picture but I believe that’s a Chinese robot and China will ship to Russia from what I understand. And I’ve seen those as low as $1600 and anyone can order them online. It still sounds fishy maybe the cops want an excuse to get their own
Doubt it’s even worth pirating. Ubisoft gets consistently worse year after year.
Came here to say the same. Such a great distro, and it’ll be an easy switch from manjaro.
I’ve been running it with btrfs and it has been rock solid stability wise. If you go btrfs I recommend grub btrfs for easy boot time snapshots and btrfs-assistant in the aur if you want a GUI to manage btrfs maintenance.
I used to think the same thing and there are people that change their minds. But for a lot of people in the trump cult if something doesn’t work out well they will find a way to blame it on the libs. They are quite practiced in circular logic thanks to their religion.
Multiple reasons, but it starts with terrible education. They don’t know how to verify information at best, and at worst don’t want to, they believe they win when they piss off someone they don’t like. This means the information they get on current topics is generally something pushed by someone either paying an algorithm to target them or by things like AstroTurfing.
There’s a lot of value for the hegemony class in getting people to not care about the climate, endless war, genocide, and human rights in general.
And then you have the out of touch authoritarian liberals/neoliberals that control the liberal side of the mainstream media.
These professional perpetual victims get a whiff of any actual perceived slight against them and they just cum in their little pants don’t they?>
No surprise the root of this comes from modern christianity. In their mind anything they can call persecution adds credit (increased self-righteous bs) to their own dogma. Of course when they do it to other people they are saving them from hell so just about anything goes.
I’ve had to switch to grayjay for YouTube recently I don’t know what they do differently, but it seems to work better with vpns than newpipe. Works about 80% of the time where newpipe was more like 20%
Most Trump voters I have come across don’t actually know what fascism is, so the insult dosnt work. They still believe they are voting for small government and lower taxes, they are in a delusion and they can’t believe otherwise regardless of what I would call facts.
Trump voters are quite practiced at mentally cherry picking what their dogma is in their religion, so for them it’s not as much of a stretch.
Claud 3.5 and o1 might be able to do that; if not, they are close to being able to do that. Still better than 99.99% of earthly humans
The latest llms get a perfect score on the south Korean SAT and can pass the bar. More than pure marketing if you ask me. That does not mean 90% of business that claim ai are nothing more than marketing or the business that are pretty much just a front end for GPT APIs. llms like claud even check their work for hallucinations. Even if we limited all ai to llms they would still be groundbreaking.
Yeah IMO they need an app that can download/manage models directly
This is amazing! If you are looking for US EN and use a phone with arm64 I can recommend sherpa-onnx-1.10.27-arm64-v8a-en-tts-vits-piper-en_US-kristin-medium and sherpa-onnx-1.10.27-arm64-v8a-en-tts-vits-piper-en_US-norman-medium.
Edit: I don’t seem to be able to get the engine to show up as a tts engine but it works well within the tts app itself. Hopefully I’ll find a fix I’ve been searching for a good tts engine for android eBook apps.
Edit 2. Fixed I mistakenly downloaded the standalone version from https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk.html instead of https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html
No doubt LLMs are not the end all be all. That said especially after seeing what the next gen ‘thinking models’ can do like o1 from ClosedAI OpenAI, even LLMs are going to get absurdly good. And they are getting faster and cheaper at a rate faster than my best optimistic guess 2 years ago; hell, even 6 months ago.
Even if all progress stopped tomorrow on the software side the benefits from purpose built silicon for them would make them even cheaper and faster. And that purpose built hardware is coming very soon.
Open models are about 4-6 months behind in quality but probably a lot closer (if not ahead) for small ~7b models that can be run on low/med end consumer hardware locally.
I’d agree the first part but to say all Ai is snake oil is just untrue and out of touch. There are a lot of companies that throw “Ai” on literally anything and I can see how that is snake oil.
But real innovative Ai, everything to protein folding to robotics is here to stay, good or bad. It’s already too valuable for governments to ignore. And Ai is improving at a rate that I think most are underestimating (faster than Moore’s law).
Yeah, I don’t understand the hate that guy gets on Lemmy group think. He’s not a scientist, but so long as people dont view his ideas as absolute truth, I don’t see what is wrong with pointing at some unexplained mystery and asking ‘what if’
And to say it’s truly racist to state anything like that there might have been some ancient culture is just absurd.
People have their minds made up so he apparently falls into the heretic camp. I doubt many of the people here have actually read or watched his stuff. There are of course people that take what he says as gospel and that is also problematic.
That said, he’s been on more and more of woe is me the victim and it’s getting old.
I generally sort by top day and this sub rarely comes up with anything i disagree with, I’ve probably been subbed here since I joined.
for the record I’m not anti China or anti US I disagree with authoritarianism that all super powers have. And this poped up in my feed and looks like basic authoritarian boot licking. That’s all, I’m not trying to attack socialism or even China
