Deflation is a great thing.

The working class has been conditioned to think it's "bad" and inflation is "inevitable" because inflation is how the ruling class recoups any gains the working class has made, with interest.

Personally, I think it goes a bit deeper than this. Insecure people always want to feel they "know" everything, so they will often overreach and make claims about something they don't understand just to look smart and fit in. For example, always using the word "consumer" instead of "customer." They want to sound smart, like they went to school and learned about consumers, but they don't realize how they're acting without thinking. It's all a show to avoid admitting they don't really know what they're talking about.

Inflation is the same. Since it's almost guaranteed to happen and it benefits the ruling class, the average worker has been conditioned to see it as beneficial. They are praised for going along with the narrative that inflation is necessary and it makes them "feel smart" even if they are incorrect.

Saying "communism doesn't work" is another example.

at 15kg per kw, this is 300x less efficient than a fuel cell for just electricity output. Distributed fuel cells can use waste heat for domestic hot water needs.

A better use of combusting H2 for electrical power generation, is changing the input valves on electrical generating NG turbines. That is just 2x less efficient than a fuel cell.

Al-Jazeera did more good for the Palestinians than the PA.
They are paying with their own blood.

Abbas, are you not ashamed?

I'm waiting for a 2TB drive to arrive to upgrade the 512GB in my Legion Go and one of the first things I wanted to do was set up to dual boot Bazzite.

These little blurbs make me want to just blow away Windows right now though and go all in on Bazzite. Especially as I play literally zero "popular multiplayer shooting games".

I won't consider these new devices because they don't have touch pads, but if inwas gifted one or had a friend that had one I would definitely recommend Bazzite if they don't play many multiplayer titles.

Great to see it taking off.

Maybe we're talking about different things... but, there is a touchpad on my Legion Go?

We already met it.

It said that Taiwan was a part of One China, and it even used the phrase "we" when discussing it, as it agreed with the CCP policy.

If they can really train a model at 600b parameters for 6M usd it's an absolutely mind boggling achievement. No wonder it's getting downvoted, it puts the capital intensive US firms to shame for lack of innovation. I'd love to see some benchmarks.

As a side note, this would open up the market for non English language LLMs with less requirements than the mammoth necessities of current models.

there's some more info with benchmarks here, it does as well and in some cases better than top tier commercial models analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2024/…

The trick that makes it possible is the mixture-of-experts approach. While it has 671 billion parameters overall, it only uses 37 billion at a time, making it very efficient. For comparison, Meta’s Llama3.1 uses 405 billion parameters used all at once. It also has 128K token context window means it can process and understand very long documents, and processes text at 60 tokens per second, twice as fast as GPT-4o.

Ivory Coast is home to the biggest remaining contingent of French troops in West Africa. There are some 600 French military personnel in the country with 350 in Senegal [which last month announced France would have to close its military bases on its territory].

I did not know that.
