Oh yeah I’ve had to tell ChatGPT to stop bringing up shit from other chats before. Like if something seems related to another chat it’ll start referencing it. As if i didnt just make a new chat for a reason. The worst part is the more you talk to them the more they hallucinate so a fresh new chat is the best way to go about things usually. ChatGPT seems to be worse at hallucinating these days than DeepSeek probably for this reason. New chats arent actually clean slates.

Deepseek will literally think in its reasoning sometimes “Well what they said is incorrect, but i need to make sure i approach this delicately as to not upset the user” and stuff. You can mitigate it a bit by just literally telling it to be straight forward and correct things when needed but still not entirely.

LLMs will literally detect where you are from via the words you use. Like they can tell if your American, British, or Australian, or if your someone whose 2nd lang is english within a few sentences. Then they will tailor their answers to what they think someone of that nationality would want to hear lol.

I think it’s a result of them being trained to be very nice and personable customer servicey things. They basically act the way your boss wants you to act if you work customer service.

I have spent literal hours of my life trying to get the fingerprint reader on a latitude 7400 to work and i just gave up lol. Passwords are underrated anyway.

Idk if its so much a china problem as just an amazon problem in general. Dropshipping made it a thing i think. Since you’ve got dozens of drop shippers trying to sell the same product. Then companies selling direct had to try to maintain their SEO by doing this so their listings are not drowned in dropshipper listings.

I regularly get confused because they moved an intersection in my town 5 years ago, and i still think it’s there until i pull up and its a dead end. lol

Honestly the idea of not living paycheck to paycheck baffles me. Like you just have money leftover? You buy everything you need and your like “Oh i have some money left” Crazy. Couldnt be me.

I think its because they just see it as the “OS non-techies should use” but as Huawei’s Harmony OS becomes more popular i expect that to take over a good bit of that market.

I think neoliberals are more like “We should do this war to help companies make bigger profits” and neocons are more like “We should do this war because i like the smell of flesh when it burns.”

Chinese people use the same distros we do generally. But Linux is seen as much more of a professional thing there, and i think the people using it probably just compile things themselves, and have less of a need for flatpak. Huawei actually had a Linux laptop they were offering for sale for awhile, and a lot of the people buying it were having the store clerk put a cracked version of windows on it for them lol.

Wow that must be atleast like 7 linux users overall taking into account all the distro hopping and redownloading lol.

Honestly id argue Debian stable is the most secure as long as the apps your using are getting security hotfixes backported. Since you get all the security fixes and none of the new features that tend to be where new security holes pop up. Combine that with good opsec in general, and your basically good to go.

One thing tho. Some people use them interchangably but is your focus security or privacy? Security being harder for bad actors to exploit something on your system, and privacy being strict control over your data.

You kids these days are so spoiled just go work at your dads multi-million dollar company like everyone else smh. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Hey sorry for the late response. It’s mostly relevant due to the knock on effects any damage to california does the the rest of the US’s economy. Since California is so economically imporant to the US. And what hurts it via cause and effect will hurt other states too.

So like yeah they can’t outright just refuse to pay the feds but they will most likely have to redirect state funds in order to make up the difference. State funds that go to things like port maintenence, and processing, agricultural inspections, anything like that. Those don’t just effect california due to its size, and how it is the origin point of a lot of the stuff that gets shipped to the rest of the US.

I think a lot of the cut funds for example were to universities. Which are where all the new research is done. So like at a time where China is surpassing the US in a lot of things the US is going to kneecap it’s own ability to do research? Kinda crazy. Like say your a university in Ohio, and your working on some research jointly with a california univesity. That gets cut, and now Ohio either stops their research too, or picks up the slack funding wise.

Like if you did this same thing to Oklahoma for example the rest of the country largely wouldnt notice. No offense to Oklahoma intended. It’s just a weird thing for the US federal govt to be shooting itself in the foot like this i guess.

Correct me if I’m wrong does California give more money to the federal government than it gets back?

They’ll critisize the housing in the former USSR and ignore the tent cities in the USA.

just doing the hunger games basically. Win or be deported.

China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, DPRK

Hawaii should be free anyway. Send all the USians home and give the people of Hawaii their nation back.

And its not even accurate. This person you replied to is taking a very narrow view of social programs to mean direct government handouts. All communist nations are still in development stages and most of their social spending goes towards building vital infrastructure, and helping communities become self sufficient and independent. In the Nordic countries a poor village may be given a cash handout to buy food for example, but in China a poor village will be provided with skills and resources to support themselves indefinitely. This is how China raises people out of poverty permanently while European social programs simply put a bandaid on the problem.

I just had to explain this to someone the other day lol. Figure ur gonna get lots of hate from libs about this post so wanted to just come in and say hi. 你是很好老师同志。Your posts in response are nicely done. I hope people take the time to read them.
