Now that it has been "freedomized" it instead says that Israel is actually 3000+ years old and Palestinians are invaders, and Israel has the right to defend itself like chatgpt does. Also that American style liberal democracy is the peak of human development and civilization. Don't kid yourself that this has anything to do with truth or making it more "accurate". Yeah just replace one set of official truths, half thrush with other set of official positions, half truths and outright lies to plug the gaps. Again, who fact checks the factcheckers? Even just out of spite I would not use any model that advertises itself as being trained to answer to the sensibilities of a western techbro liberals so that they can once more outsource their thinking to outside party, because at-least it isn't the CCP propaganda. Like it's so absolutely dreadful when deepseek copy-pastes official CPC party line word for word, on Chinese form of government instead of making up some Wikipedia tier wall of text where the word "authoritarian" is about as common of a word as "the".

I just don't get it man. What kind of non thinking cretin purposefully would use this kind of model? It's probably really the pettiness that gets to me so badly. Or maybe it's that while this is purposefully made to push a certain narrative, the deepseek's bias is probably just a result that it's been trainer on Chinese internet data.

Yeah you are going to get "horrible" 100fps lows in AC4 and borderlands 2 whit physx enabled.

How many of the two dozen games affected were already capped engine wise to 60 or 30fps because of console ports? If you can afford 5000-series then you probably also have a processor that can more than enough offset the GPUs workload. AC4 for example came out when gtx 980 was bleeding edge. It's just what AMD GPU users have been living with for decades, and not even really noticing. Even my three gen old low tier AMD laptop with integrated graphics can eek out 30+ fps in mirrors edge with physX on and all graphics maxed. I'm sure all of these games will be fine.

Oo, it has a demo out already?

Marx and Engels where both reviled by the mainstream liberals during their own time. Only in the late 20th century was Marx made like this kind demsoc grandpa that only stood for co-ops and liberal values who would have hated Lenin and Stalin "who obviously misunderstood him and Engels". It's also partly because of things like the new left and frankfurt school, Marx has his name slapped into everything from animal rights to art critique and other things that have nothing to do with class struggle and that has taken the edge off in the eyes of the liberals.

It's however absolutely right that all the bad communists, the vile dictators and authoritarians are those who stood up to the west and capitalism, fought the porkies, won, didn't get couped afterward and actually built something resembling real socialism. People like Lenin and Stalin are hated precisely because they succeeded and didn't get crushed by the forces of reaction.There is also the radlib phenomena where they are allergic to any contradiction in real living world. The further a revolution goes the more contradictions and problems there are to work through. So you can really be pure and represent "real socialism" if you never really tried or got a chance to put anything into practice or died a martyr at the early stages with untested ideas. If you succeed and have to test and develop stuff, fight and compromise you become a dirty creature of "not real socialism".

Money spent=/=production or productive capacity or performance.

Everything in the west is just really fucking expensive, because defense industry is a racket meant to make profit not weapons.

Eu doesn't have the weapons to replace the US, much less do anything more. All action by EU and European Nato is at best a political stunt to make US and Trump to change their minds.

Water is wet, researchers find

Like basic thermodynamics can tell you that carbon capture sucks efficiency wise. It's more work to pour water on the floor and then mopping it up and putting a back into the bottle, than just not not spilling the water in the first place.

I would think, in the US, antitrust laws would apply.

ARM is brittish

Is this different from Intel and x86 architecture? (Genuinely asking)

yes the ARM architecture is it's own thing, licensed by ARM.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago (6 children)

It can be really bad for the industry if ARM is both a producer of chips and the gatekeeper within the ARM ecosystem. I don't know if there are laws against this or loopholes through them, but what is going to prevent them from just withholding license or technologies to push competition out?

I mean US sanctions will force companies to use it, if it ever becomes real. Think like Huawei wanting to sell stuff to Russia, but US threatens to kick any bank out of swift that trades with Russia. So then they would have this Brics-$ to circumvent that. That's the whole point. US is sanctioning so many countries that there is a need for alternative, not that USD/swift is bad system for those using it. USD needs replacing because it has become a Washington's geopolitical sledgehammer and a chokepoint to free flowing world trade. Even Putin said that only reason they have been reduing dollar usage, because they have been barred from using it, not because they are particularly eager to do it by itself.

Companies would want it because it would a one way to secure their profits and nation's would want it because it frees them from the unilateral sanction sledgehammer.

"Brics currency" would go around the problems of gold, becausse they have been planning for it to be tied to a "basket of goods" like oil, wheat, gold, etc. It has always been about solving the balance of payments issue among the member states, without using the dollar or gold. You are right that an Euro-like currency would be bad for Brics countries economies because of their development levels' but so is Euro stifling for most the EU countries, but I digress.

It's really difficult to even start to build even an Keynes' Bancor like global reserve currency, much less some "Brics Euro" to be used within the countries (which was never in the cards to begin with btw). However this American sanction obsession is very much creating the need to replace the dollar worldwide. Under Biden one set of countries were sanctioned, and now Trump is sanctioning pretty much everybody else that Biden didn't sanction. US itself is the main driver of de-dollarization, not Brics. Who the hell even wants to live with a US gun on their temple anyway, even if you are so called "US ally". Now Canada and Europe are getting slapped punitive tariffs on, because the administration changed, countries therefore can't have just one main way to do global trade.
