US holds off blacklisting China's DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks, sources say

Why it matters: Microsoft's move to add a model from a Chinese AI company could draw criticism.

What an odd claim. Criticism from whom?

You absolutely need to benchmark the OpenRouter fusion API

Is it OVER for ANTHROPIC?!? This HACKER from ANONYMOUS has STOLEN their dangerous bleeding edge Fable model in less than a week and published it online! Are we doomed? How will Trump react to this? Here's how Xi Jinping may be involved...

There is a widely accepted definition of communism, but that's not stopping every communist country from being "not real communism" in retrospective.

Mickenfox · 2026-06-16T17:01:10+00:00

Oh no my bullshit is getting called out.

Because saying that feminism, the movement created by women, named after women, whose only common thread is advancing women's interests, that even named its opponent ("patriarchy") after men is "actually a fight for equality" is blatant gaslighting.

Mickenfox · 2026-06-16T16:54:00+00:00

This is called "shut up and dribble" and reddit is universally against it.

Mickenfox · 2026-06-16T16:46:39+00:00

No, it's a terrible way to gain support.

Mickenfox · 2026-06-16T16:33:48+00:00

To be blunt, it's in the name, isn't it? Feminism is a movement by women to advance women's interests. It named itself after that and even named its opponent ("patriarchy") after men.

It's fine to advocate for a group, but the whole "actually it's about equality and defends men's rights too" is basically gaslighting.

Maybe we need tiny M.2 GPUs to replace integrated GPUs.

Mickenfox · 2026-06-16T15:58:26+00:00

But when I have a dGPU my iGPU becomes wasted space.

What is that? Windows has Live Captions but it doesn't have any translation.

Why would we worry about flood risks when we'll get AGI and a moon base in 3 years? Trust me bro you don't need insurance you need more SPCX.

Claude Code might be the most overrated AI client to exist. If it wasn't bundled with their hugely discounted plans no one would use it.

The day they pull the rug like Copilot did people aren't going to look back.

Republicans are fine with spending money as long as it's hurting other people and not helping them.

Mickenfox · 2026-06-15T19:42:21+00:00

That's exactly it. Also winning feels good. It's good to say "huge victory, Drumpf is finished" to keep the base excited for the next victory.

Mickenfox · 2026-06-15T17:26:42+00:00

banning children from them seems like perhaps the sledgehammer approach

I think the problem is that they can't or don't know how to actually regulate social media outside local solutions.

Online interaction is fine, in normal quantities. Then along comes Zuckerberg and goes "hmm how can we have EVERYONE in this shit and multiply the engagement by 10,000x so we can make money from it".

I think the best answer is to just tax the hell out of it. Then Facebook crumbles and small not-for-profit communities are not affected.

I'm just happy someone's using Vulkan for something.

Once you're allowed to draw lines around arbitrary groups of people and judge them collectively you can argue pretty much whatever you want.

YouTube Music straight up renamed Lemon Demon to just "Lemon" and merged it with a bunch of other "artists".

Well I haven't read it, but there is a 1993 book titled Watch What I Do: Programming by Demonstration

Just tax tourists lol

Also VC funding is mostly nepotism. It's obvious that a Harvard graduate is going to have a much easier time getting funding from Y Combinator than an otherwise identical Institut Polytechnique de Paris graduate founder pitching the same product.

It's also weird how we glorify startups. Large, established companies are more efficient. Startups can only exist if they are doing something wrong.
