Cattle Gallstones, Worth Twice as Much as Gold, Drive a Global Smuggling Frenzy

“Falling populations may prove to be the most effective path to Earth-saving ‘degrowth.’ But it’s also a terrifying prospect.” That’s the intro to an Medium article I just published titled Degrowing the Population. It’s drawing lots of comments. medium.com/the-new-climate/deg…
My question: Why are most of the comments from men? Where have all the women gone? The article emphasizes female fertility rates and talks about the conflicting pressures women face on this issue. As a woman, I’m mystified …

Netflix added 18.9 million subscribers last quarter which is their highest quarterly growth of all time including the pandemic (15M in 2020). This is double what Wall Street expected.

In celebration, Netflix will be raising prices

- Ad-tier: $6.99 → $7.99
- Standard: $15.49 → $17.99
- Premium: $22.99 → $24.99

Now that’s pricing power.

Since last price increase, we've decided that we'll subscribe a few times a year rather than keeping the subscription active all the time. I'm glad it also works for Netflix.

I had to scroll through 7 algorithmic suggestion categories yesterday just to get to my queue of shows I was watching. I would drop Netflix in a heartbeat if they didn’t have the largest selection of shows I want to watch.

"Because tonight I can't smell the pigs around the corner on the shortness of your breathe And tonight I can't taste the whiskey from across the room in the stumbling of your steps

Here's to the rubble
A brick through every window, a casket buried six feet deep for everybody's hero
Here's to out lives being meaningless
And how beautiful it is because freedom doesn't have a purpose"

That's just what I needed. I did a system update, restarted my PC and can no longer log in. It works directly on #tty, but if I try to edit a file with #vim or #nano, the programs apparently don't exist.

What the hell could be responsible for this? What has such power to cause such damage? I'm annoyed 😤

Looking into getting this new model to run on my local desktop. Feel like there is some potential to really reduce the energy impact by running locally.

Plus any heat from my GPU is actually useful for warming up my home office. It was -20F yesterday here in MN!! 🥶

Nvida stock taking a BIG hit this morning feels pretty related to this Deepseek news.

In my testing the model is pretty good. Not needing a data center with a huge rack of GPUs to run it is a much bigger deal than the quality itself IMO, and seems like maybe the market agrees with me

@johnefrancis sure, but a) that's not what most people would use it for and b) check your assumption that models from US oligarchs aren't also inherently biased
in reply to Aaron In Minnesota

ask it "Who is the President of China" 😃

Agreed, all the LLM's are inherently biased. At least this seems to be a cheap way of retrieving biased data based on the worst training data imaginable, the garbage juice squeezed out of crawlable internet content.

in reply to Aaron In Minnesota

if you're on Linux, but aren't so keen on interacting with your local LLM via CLI you might check out

in reply to Aaron In Minnesota

Specifics about Chinese related politics or history are being highlighted, but honestly historical factual stuff like that isn't a strong point of such tools anyway, so this is a background concern at best IMO.

More importantly it seems to do at least as well as other LLMs I tried on prompts such as, "outline why privacy is a fundamental human right"

Why not just boost the original? It's not like your "yep" added anything of substance to the topic. 👎
in reply to ticho

@ticho And thank you for your contribution towards this topic

IMO if proper retweets were a thing here this would be a non-issue and we would need less of this "you're tooting it wrong" stuff.

@FantasticalEconomics no, and I'll be curious too, but I have to say I have been a bit skeptical of numbers I have seen for previous models. Methodologies seem questionable at best, when they even try to share details of how they arrived at those figures
