> but it's still unlikely and the actual reason was just the US having gathered solid evidence that Nvidia sold some GPUs to the Chinese.
It's literally that, you have no idea how existential it is for the US to retain a monopoly over emergent technology. the whole point of the CHIPS act is to stall Chinese development. if you're experiencing a crisis that doesnt seem to end, it's because the US is no longer the go-to superpower and every single spastic geopolitical move it's meant to recobble a monopoly by making business outside of the US sphere less attractive. in that regard, Jensen has been facilitating the continued development of Chinese AI by providing a key infrastructural requirement, for the sole reason that he needs to continue selling to maintain nvidia's valuation. it is both, that big, and that simple.

It's not even that the US has gathered "solid evidence". everyone fucking knew but allowed it because everyone was too afraid of collapsing the valuation of the biggest company on the stock market, especially when the current incumbent was ultra concerned with easy goals and short term benefits. well then, the US has filled congress with the "smart people in the room", the "long term thinkers" who aren't afraid of enforcing Biden's legacy, even if it means trampling the stock market under their feet.

>>34822
Isn't the alleged scheme more a loophole rather than an actual criminal violation of export controls?

>>34824
I mean who knows, the smuggling operation kind of implies cooking your books and maybe "misleading" investors, some creative financing here and there, if the US really wanted to, they could fuck him really hard, but likely theyre offering early retirement and which is why he stepped down

especially the Chinese spy shit could be construed into something a lot more grave than just skirting export controls, the fact that they went with that crap vs just smuggling shows you how important is banning GPU exports to china

Yi xin edition. Got some buttons up, still have to review the karma code, and implement the delete/report button. Good news is that bailing on the outbox traversal, and now on the remote Likes the only thing left in the federation layer is fep-228, and posts addressing multiple Groups (both of which truthfully could wait).

Karma system, and Delete/Tombstone completed, reviewed, and committed. Also reworked the git history using lazygit and a lot of care (a bit too late), so that some of the mistakes are a little less obvious. Line count 8500. Plan for the remainder of the day is the Follow code, and maybe the Settings. If we're lucky might even touch the Group creation page.

>>34760
Follows, FEP-228, and settings complete 10000 lines total… Next is a (likely) massive amount of moderation code. After this there's only a handful of features levels left: LLM, rate limits, email verification, and style. Well and all the tests (yes it's terrible that I haven't been testing all along). I'm aiming for under 20k, and never a large project >100k. Once all this is done now have a two week review of the whole thing planned.

>>34770
Project size increase by 60% for the naive moderation system. 16000 lines now — though some of this is pgtyped generated. Thought it would take three days to review, but its seeming now like it's going to take longer.

Acquired a domain today: anatta.social (nothing's there atm), set up cloudflare, and made the source code available at https://gitlab.com/anatta/anatta (chose gitlab because it's likely to stay up, allows AI, and is mostly FOSS) up to 19500 lines just from small edits here and there. Projections at 30k for the whole thing now, including tests, and three more weeks at least.

The backstory.
I hate my landlord I really hate that guy, the fuck decided to walk into my room when I did go on vacation despite me telling him not to do that.
The peace of shit also admitted this to my face.

To give you any idea the retard did place a rat in my room and told me it is my fault and I need to pay up because
<Herp-derp rat
I told him this is not difficult to figure out since before I did go on vacation there was no rat I come back and there is a rat.

This is my life!

Either way the fagot placed cameras all over the house and I told him to take the one off that is next to my door because it literally flashes and blinds me with some 1 billion gigawat LED or some shit.

He refuses. There are cameras all over the house. I truly despise the fagot

So I decided to place a camera to see if the fuck walks into my room or what he is doing there

Look at the OP post and the picture your god Steve made. Can you read?

It says

Not TV. You are to defective to even think.
>Muh TV
You changing the subject to TVs instead either defending the schizo shit Steve produces or acknowledging that Steve is fucked in the head shows you being to defective to think at best. At worse you are maliciously changing the subject to fool idiots and defend your god Steve.

This invalid maneuver was detected and noted. I am not defending LG or their TVs or their defective spyware dildos etc. The point is that Steve makes retarded schizo rant videos and this is destroying his reputation. Anyone who listens to this schizo should not be taken seriously.

It is amazing how the best softsynth in existence is free and Linux native/open source. You can do basically anything in it. I've actually been using it as basically a subtractive synth, and there are presets that emulate a bunch of historical synth sounds as well. Oh, and what's even more amazing is that the 2nd best softsynth in existence, Surge, is also free and Linux native. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/manual/

I know this might be something thats asked a lot but, what do you guys use/reccomend in terms of linux? I have been in to linux and other stuff for a while, distro hopping from debian to ubuntu(and its variants) to finally cachyOS/void system in my computers. Should i just fully switch to void or just install arch in itself? I was thinking about installing Deepin, and i think i am going to try that one.

No grasp on what 'code review' means?

>>34788
No it's that every change must now be reviewed by an LLM first.

The funny thing about it is that it gets gamed and basically prompt injected by LLM commits, which are almost always accepted even if they're a +10k diff mess. Meanwhile human commits get nitpicked by it constantly.
What was originally intended to filter out the slop so that the maintainer reviewers don't get overwhelmed did the opposite of that.

>You can't call CachyOS bloated while using EndeavourOS/Manjaro
i dont really think you can say that if you equate those two

What makes them different? That CachyOS precompiles it's packages or that it has multiple kernels on install? They're both effectively identical in bloat otherwise.

>>34804
> or that it has multiple kernels on install?
i think so, yeah. it has a dedicated "gaming" kernel with its own in-house scheduler supposedly, it also has a kernel for handhelds. i have no idea if it makes any difference, i installed it because the bazzite installer wouldnt work on a gpd win 5

>The U.S. decision targeting Autistici/Inventati should not be read simply as another sanction in Washington’s crackdown on violent extremism. According to Beniamino Irdi, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and CEO of Highground, the more significant point lies elsewhere: for the first time, the logic of material support is being applied openly and forcefully to technological infrastructure. The target is no longer only those who carry out an act, but also those who provide the infrastructure that makes it possible. It is a choice that sets a delicate precedent for European allies and for the balance between security, intelligence and legal safeguards.

>Why it matters. The designation marks an unusual use of U.S. counterterrorism sanctions against a European technology collective whose main activity is providing digital infrastructure – from encrypted communications to web hosting.


< It also creates a potential point of discussion between Washington, Rome and Brussels: the U.S. designation carries immediate financial consequences under American jurisdiction, but does not automatically place Autistici/Inventati on Italy’s or the European Union’s terrorist lists.

>What happened. On August 26, the State Department, working with the Treasury Department, designated Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224.

< The State Department describes A/I as an Italy-based extremist organisation that builds and operates digital infrastructure used by violent Antifa cells and other far-left groups internationally. Washington says its services include encrypted email and chats, web hosting, secure videoconferencing and streaming, anonymity tools and the infrastructure behind the Noblogs platform.

Should online leftist publications get OpenNIC and/or onion domains? Or go back to physical zines and newspapers? Though I don't prefer the latter option since the internet obviously makes stuff infinitely more accessible.

Gargamel is no longer the boss of Mastodon? I've been out of the loop for like five years

>doctoral thesis to sign up that defederate with the big instance
Am hoping to avoid this on my instance by having an LLM censor posts before they're federated. In the future I'd also like there to be a follow-follow model for Group federation — so a small instance can mirror a large Group and contribute anonymously.

Microsoft is the CIA. Pretty much all US big tech is. Windows is a global CIA mass surveillance program via monopoly capitalism. It’s completely impossible to make Windows secure, there’s no secret registry switch. The entire thing is compromised top to bottom, and under no circumstances should anyone consent to its use. Closed source spyware monopolies are a weapon of war against us by the bourgeois state.

Open source operating systems are software communism. If we’re not willing to build and use existing forms of technological sovereignty and anti-capitalism, then we’re probably not willing to do any other forms of communism either. I hate the “No ethical consumption under capitalism” mantra. How do we expect to get out of capitalism without building alternatives? I think a lot of leftists hope a revolution will happen then just magically replace all the corrupt and bourgeois components of consumerism, using the same uninvolved passive mechanisms.

Do we really believe a windows update will just drop after some election that restores our rights, trust, openness, privacy and dignity? It must be built and owned by the people.

"Thus, in direct practical terms, this development can do both harm and good. It might encourage GNU/Linux users to install these games, and it might encourage users of the games to replace Windows with GNU/Linux. My guess is that the direct good effect will be bigger than the direct harm."

Steam is unethical, but praise their work in adding Linux support.
Affinity is unethical, but praise their work in adding Linux support.
It is praxis, this is how we get people to use Linux/BSD - this is how we get freedom.
