I copied your text into Astra and asked to guess your native language:

Russian native speaker, with approximately C2-level English proficiency. I am now about 85% confident that English is not his native language, and 35% sure that Russian is his first language.

Do

sudo tcpdump --immediate-mode -p -nn -i eth0 -vvv -c 1 'ip and (ip[0] & 0x0f > 5)'

to see if you even get them from upstream.

You can even ping it from outside with these packets in the meantime

ping -R -c 3 $IP

That could work in less than 5 countries in the world: in your home country Switzerland, Singapore, Denmark and perhaps Norway.

There have been a lot of write-ups about the future of AI. I see two distinct futures:

1. You get ID'd and biometrically scanned to be able to use powerful AI, and after you get de-platformed by an opaque censorship system, you are a digital bum. Same life as homeless now: they cannot even open a bank account because they don't have an address.

2. Local models win, perhaps with the assistance of Apple, and people run suffiently powerful models on the client computers.

My bet is on 1.

Why should we believe that binance was hacked? Maybe nothing happened at all?

What does it mean in practice for the retail users of Claude?

Yes, but it has also been known for 50+ years that QED has a Landau pole and might be UV trivial or inconsistent, whereas QCD has asymptotic freedom and is thus controlled at UV.

More to the point, QCD has been experimentally tested both at UV (deep inelastic scattering) and at IR, while the physical meaning of testing QED at UV Landau pole regime is unclear.

Why? Did any physicist really doubt it? 4d QCD has been used for approximate calculations for about 45 years

MacBooks with large RAM and optimized for local models should be Apple's medium term goal.

Right, for the important stuff, not this LLM bullshit, people did have either PhDs or came from eminent universities and organizations:

"The EU's common-charger initiative can be traced to Solomon Passy and Gergana Passy, two Bulgarian politicians who proposed it in 2008. Interestingly, Solomon Passy had a PhD in mathematical logic and computer science."

Some even had postgraduate studies in philosophy.

Only 17% of people who laid out LLM transformer foundations between 2017 and 2022 had relevant PhDs. Not that I expect it would sway your faith or stop the downvotes, but just quoting anyway:

Right, from Wright brothers airplane to modern GPT LLMs founders, they were all university researchers that are now being gutted by Trump:

It is actually possible to test if a rat has dementia, eg:

Noted

In Spain, for example, there is an unpublished list of blocked websites. Among other concerns, they're probably afraid that they won't be able to censor with Starlink.

AI coding is great but the distribution channels have been closed for a while. App stores are effectively closed for new apps and old internet is dead.

Retiro is a park, no buildings there. Are you proposing CA style encampments?

That's why in Northern California all the roads are constantly under construction, but in Finland they're perfect. I was thinking that in California one needs to get an SUV simply because a sedan's suspension will not last much longer

I developed a three-tier corruption test in US:

1. Perfect roads. Little visible construction despite high traffic: no corruption.

2. Awful roads. Almost no visible construction - medium corruption.

3. Continuous years-long construction. Roads always semi -closed, semi-permanent "work zone". When one construction ends, another immediately starts - extremely high corruption

I ran out of Opus 5.5 20x plan in 4 days out of 7, so my experience is different from yours.

The politically intriguing CEO and all the upper management that he hired need to go. Their focus is not the product but the corporate intrigue, dividing the pie and infighting, riding on semi-monopoly status.

After the initial AI flop, it seemed likely that the founders recognized that Google doesn't have an AI monopoly. But now it's becoming clear that this CEO is not leaving; therefore, Google is going down long-term.

By the way, that doesn't matter to the CEO because he has already extracted sufficient benefits.

No accountability in their doublespeak means no partisan interest, no lobby prescribing how to spin the news. This is what they (and the downvoters here) don't like.

Prediction markets as a news source are politically unbiased and nonpartisan , and this is what the establishment people here don't like.

The cancerous Wikileaks which also leaked news just like prediction markets has also been eliminated. I hope you celebrated.

It's a difference between peer-to-peer Bitcoin decentralization and extreme AI datacenter centralization. Open weight models currently also require centralized datacenters for training, even though inference can be done decentralized.. We will see whether centralization or decentralization wins long term.
