Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The AI race between the US and China, focusing on the potential for Chinese open-source AI models like Deepseek to surpass US closed models like OpenAI.

Key Points:

• AI Arms Race: The discussion highlights the view that the US and China are in an AI arms race, with significant implications for global dominance.
• Deepseek Ban: There's concern about a potential US ban on Chinese AI models like Deepseek, similar to the TikTok ban, driven by Silicon Valley lobbying.
• Open Source vs. Closed Models: The advantages of open-source AI models are emphasized, including cost-effectiveness, the ability to run locally without sending data to external servers, and customization to remove censorship.
• OpenAI's Limitations: Concerns are raised about OpenAI's reliability (downtime) and data privacy practices, making open-source alternatives more appealing for certain applications.
• Global Adoption: It's argued that countries and companies outside the US may prefer Chinese open-source AI due to cost, control, and the ability to tailor the models to their specific needs and cultures.
• Economic Implications: Restricting access to open-source AI models in the US could put American companies at a disadvantage compared to their global competitors.
• AI Hype and Investment: The discussion touches on the current AI hype and whether the downstream is paying for AI right now.

Highlights:

• The potential for a bifurcated world with US AI and Chinese AI dominating different regions.
• The observation that Deepseek's release wiped out $1.5 trillion off the US stock market in a single day.
• The point that open-source models allow users to avoid sending data to OpenAI and customize the model to remove unwanted censorship.
• The suggestion that the US political landscape is influenced by Silicon Valley's financial contributions.

mattonando gli acquisti ma non con troppi soldini

Qualche attimo fa, pur di non andare a dormire ad un orario giusto, stavo cercando mattoni economici online… per costruzioni, non lo so, per commettere Minecraft nella vita reale… e sono stata alquanto delusa. Ok, no, sto scherzando… ma su Amazon ho trovato letteralmente 1 solo prodotto che rispecchiasse il mio desiderio pienamente, ed è estremamente costoso (come tra l’altro suggerisce l’unica recensione con acquisto verificato, che però comunque li valuta a 4 stelle per la qualità); cioè, regà, 33 euro per 10 mattoni non è cosa, nonostante la spedizione gratuita. Quindi, via subito sull’altro sito. 🇨🇳🐉

Allora, su AliExpress, invece, di mattoni non ne trovo affatto (magari sarà eccessivamente costoso spedirli dalla Cina?). Grande amarezza, ma in compenso ho trovato qualcosa di meglio: taccuini a forma di mattone… taccuini da 640 pagine!!! Sono subito saltata, perché è assurdo che qualcuno abbia anche solo mai potuto immaginare un prodotto del genere; figurarsi averlo messo sul mercato, e per giunta con un’estetica così carina e invitante! Sapete perfettamente cosa sto per dire a questo punto… è a tutti gli effetti un fottutissimo tomo (o, “sembra un piccolo libro”, direbbe la gente posh nelle recensioni). No però, oh, sul serio, è incredibile… sospetto un po’ scomodo da usare, perché è un A6, quindi con ben 320 fogli si terrà un botto alto dalla superficie di scrittura, e la mano finirà quindi schiacciata nello spigolo… ma chi lo ha comprato è molto contento; ha una media di 4,9 stelle questo affare. E navigando se ne trovano anche altri, persino A4, sempre con questo magico numero di 320 fogli (…non di più, per qualche motivo), anche se meno bellini e con carta in genere più sottile! 😤🤯

Come mattoncino, comunque, questo quadernino andrebbe più che bene… è vero che è fatto di alberi anziché di laterizio, ma tanto comunque io fin dal principio non sono in condizione di rispettare il codice edilizio, e quindi, che uso i mattoni, o che uso i quaderni spessi, non cambia alla fine della fiera assolutamente nulla; in entrambi i casi, o quello che andrò a realizzare crollerà da solo in poco tempo, o comunque arriveranno le forze dell’ordine a mettere i sigilli… ma quello che importa è avere la mentalità giusta, e ricordare che il gioco è bello proprio finché dura poco. (Specialmente per quanto riguarda le costruzioni; questo è stato inculcato a forza nella mente di ogni bambino fin dalla prima infanzia, andando a generare non pochi microtraumi…) 🥰

…Il motivo per cui non ho riempito il carrello con più unità di questo affare di quante un intero camion ne possa trasportare, allora, è che… a 12 fottuti euro per quaderno (visto che con lo sconto di benvenuto ne potrei prendere solo uno a 86 centesimi, ma il resto si paga intero), è ancora peggio dei mattoni veri. E, a questo punto, visto che sono pur sempre molto tirchia, vado a scavare un po’ di pietra in miniera, così già che ci sono risolvo anche l’altro mio problema (detto “mine-yearning“)… e, forse, mi restano soldi per corrompere eventuali autorità che verranno a distruggere i miei sogni. 😳🙏

Palestinian Resistance fighters carried out a deadly ambush targeting Israeli occupation forces in northern Gaza, late on Monday, reportedly killing at least six Israeli soldiers and wounding 16 others—several of them critically—according to Israeli media outlets.

Some of the killed soldiers were burned to death during the assault. The operation bore a striking resemblance to a previous ambush on June 24, in which seven Israeli troops were killed when Palestinian Resistance fighters targeted an armored combat engineering unit.

L'apertura di citiverse.it non è soltanto la creazione di un nuovo forum o, dal momento che a tutti gli effetti è federata con il Fediverso, di una nuova istanza.
Citiverse.it, sfruttando la versatilità di NodeBB, vuole infatti realizzare un ambiente che sia utilizzabile sia da chi è già dentro il Fediverso, sia – soprattutto – da parte di chi è fuori dal Fediverso.

Chi è su Lemmy infatti può utilizzare le "categorie" del forum NodeBB come se fossero "comunità" Lemmy.

Continuing on past Healy Pass will take you through sensitive grizzly habitat (stay on trail in place) down to Egypt Lake and surrounding Egypt themed mountains. This adds 6 mi to roundtrip, and almost doubles the elev. Campground near lake is highly sought after, and would be a great base camp. Also has a through hike associated with it, but I forget where the trail goes after Egypt Lake (my turnaround).

Scarab Ridge with various patches of snow dotting the mountain and larger areas of snow in the avalanche zones. Egypt lake may be seen in the lower right and partially frozen Scarab lake center.

Glacier lilies bloom all around Egypt lake campground with Greater Pharaoh rising above.

Looking across the snow patch on top of Healy Pass towards Greater Pharaoh Peak and all of the surrounding mountains.
