The US should nationalize the foundry. Make it a federal service. Only thing that makes sense.

Good. What I’ve been advocating. Since there is no functional market, it doesn’t not make sense to have private players.

There is nothing “optimized” that will get you better inference performance of medium/large models at $2000.

I promise. It’s not possible. But things change quickly of course.

(Unless you’re lucky/pro and get your hands on some super cheap used high end hardware…)

It will probably kick the ass of that desktop. $2000 won’t get you far with a conventional build.

Is there any point in doing that? All these guys are openly racist, anti-democracy and anti-america. Enemies of the state by definition (a state which is almost entierly under their control by now). We’re way beyond calling out on racism.

Well, usually not. Unfortunately.

Try ripgrep instead of grep. Unless you go for index etc.

The Russian asset delivers again.

Whining about having to pay income taxes by themselves. Could also be that many are self employed.

I don’t think it’s enforced by law. Only federal tax. Maybe different in different states? Anyway, Americans are always whining about it, so I figured it was national/federal.

In theory, it’s not the most economically efficient. We want people to work, and taxing labor decreases the incentive to work. However, there isn’t any viable alternative given the current circumstances. Labor creates all value in society and you can’t easily hide labor off shore (though I guess that’s what happened with globalization and China).

One should understand that income tax should be a tax on the consumption of labor (just as a tariff is a tax paid by the importer/consumer). Right-wing politicians have made the employee pay the income tax (to decrease acceptance of the system), but it should always be the employer that pays the tax.

If we start to call income tax “labor VAT” or something similar, that will probably solve a lot of misunderstandings.

Making the employer pay the tax before the money reach the employee solves quite a lot. I understand that’s not the practice in the US.

What do you guys think about AnySoftKeyboard? Could it be a “sleeping agent”?

Country of origin is Israel according to: https://alternativeto.net/software/anysoftkeyboard/about/

(I know this doesn’t mean anything, but still…)

The main developer seems to live in New York: https://evendanan.net/

He’s probably a good guy. Just got a little suspicious (or curious) when I saw the Israeli flag on AlternativeTo.

Not same results as DeepL but… You can use any popular online LLM for excellent translation. There are also “small” language models that you can run on your phone (if you havet a reasonable modern/powerful phone that is): https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm

Because the political and economical situation is extreme.

I’ve heard it said that every successful Swedish war campaign begins with the loss of their entire fleet.
