Torrannor posted:The president of Colombia folded though... At least from what I've been able to put together, Colombia is sending a plane to transport deportees but it sounds like it's just to pick up the ~80 deportees that were diverted to Honduras after they were refused permission to land. This was spun by a few outlets as ''Colombia caves!" but seems like Colombia is holding firm on all future flights from the US. Some additional background on how this is a bigger Latin American thing: https://bsky.app/profile/whiskeynachos.bsky.social/post/3lgocqpjhks2a posted:Let's recap the timeline for those of you who haven't been following. And Mexico is also refusing deportation flights so there's a good possibility of this thing snowballing quickly.

Additional context: Donnie's crackdown is sucking. He's getting 280-600 arrests a day so far and has decided to quota ICE to make 1200-1500 or else. He doesn't have the people to do that and he's demanding regular agents cancel all of their personal leave and other poo poo that won't work to get the numbers up. So he's likely raging about anything possible instead of diplomatically hashing that poo poo out with other countries. Fun!

Might as well start teaching the dumber people in the country how tariffs actually work. I feel like the only real shot we have of pulling out of this death spiral at all is for people to get hurt really badly while dumbfuck threatens our allies and demands they put him on Mount Rushmore.

i wish no violence upon him but i hope that every single other person on this planet does whatever they can to make trump furious and mad. do whatever stupid petty poo poo they need to do to get under his skin. mostly i just hope he's stopped by whatever means possible, so actual other country leaders telling him to get hosed are excellent

Casimir Radon posted:Columbia has now caved. gently caress. You can’t deal with him like this. Agreed, but it does sound like Colombia also hosed up by approving the flights in the first place. Terrifying Effigies does have a good recap earlier here. There's also this from CNN: quote:“The Colombian Council on International Relations (CORI) calls on the national government to exercise its foreign policy with responsibility, pragmatism and strategy. … There is no room for improvisation in international relations,” the group said in a statement. So sounds like Donnie and co were just real asses/dickbags about the whole thing instead of solving it by the usual diplomacy. They'll get hosed up by that approach yet.

Alternatively, things may have went like this: https://bsky.app/profile/akivamcohen.bsky.social/post/3lgp2hha7fc2g quote:Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity A nuanced thing spun by everyone as caving/standing up/etc when it was likely all spurred on my the images of the deportees being shackled on the military flights.

Just change them to the names that comes up most often. Camp Hillary. Camp Clinton. Fort Soros. Fortress Pelosi. I'm sure they'll enjoy the "named after defeated enemy leaders" excuse and it keeps them from going back to using "team slave-owner" names.

NVIDIA's stock price is down 16% and a whole bunch of tech stocks took big ol' hits this morning. Apparently a Chinese AI lab, Deepseek, made an open-source LLM ChatGPT-alike that's dramatically cheaper to use and maintain:forbes posted:This cost efficiency is reflected in the API pricing for DeepSeek-R1, which costs just $0.55 per million input tokens and $2.19 per million output tokens — significantly undercutting OpenAI’s API rates of $15 and $60, respectively. Lots of sketchy-ish claims (like the whole thing costing $6M but nobody can track down where that came from), but it's enough to make me laugh at Donnie's big $500B AI plan that gets utterly annihilated if those numbers are even close to true. Added bonus that it would probably be The Big Moment where the AI bubble pops.

I'm not an AI knower, but from what I've read it allegedly has three major advantages. First, they accepted a loss of precision on individual nodes, allowing it to run better on lower end hardware. Second, they claim to have improved the parsing, so it's better able to recognize and tokenize phrases instead of individual words. Third, and this seems like the biggest one to me, is that instead of creating one single super genius model that can answer every question, it runs many smaller models that specialize in certain domains. So rather than needing to run the entire model for everything, it essentially puts together a team of smaller models and only needs to run a subset. Again, this is just what I've read from somewhat credible seeming reporting. I don't really trust anyone in the AI space to be honest about anything. But this model is supposed to be open source so after a few days people will be able to actually validate some of the claims.

So.... like a lot of chinese tech that undercuts established things there are significant trade offs. It's less "powerful" which is why its cheaper. Gpt4 is at 170trillion params. Deepseek is 600 billion. More params dont mean more better usually but if the training data is good a 1b model will be less performant that a 12b or 30b model by an equivalent dataset. The other issue is that chinese models generally, obviously, train with a dataset that includes a ton of hanzi which is problematic because sometimes probability will spit out chinese characters and ruin your output. It has cool stuff going for it, and its really cool its been opensourced, but a gpt replacement? Eh. Edit: it also doesnt help that most credible benchmarks are vibes based because the benchmark questions have been trained into the model so theyre just being tested on recall instead of producing an answer based basically on their own production.

I’ve visited Warrenton, OR, I’ve seen where a Japanese submarine surfaced & fired wildly at a fort before leaving & the historical marker where we lost a baseball backstop. Whatever it takes to defend us.
