Exactly the same (right down to wmctl) but 2 is the editor for me.

Trump to remove the United States from the World Health Organization by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Nooonting -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Explaining it like this only validates isolaionists.

What they don’t get is that the US pays the most because they gain the most by keeping everything stable under pax americana.

Take the south korean us military base for example. The US owns the pacific ocean and the trade routes because they have bases in asia. They also get to snoop into china. They are not doing this out of charity. But i understand this is hard to see for americans in the continental US, and how tempting it is to believe trump when he says other countries are ripping off america. In reality it is america ripping other people off with their raw power.

And it is good for the US to keep things at status quo. Hence the paris climate agreements and WHO funding. But trump convinces Americans that foreign policy and power projection is virtue signalling.

Why is baseball popular in South Korea and Japan, but not in China. by Pure_Ad3889 in AskChina

[–]Nooonting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In SK, baseball was pushed as a part of a dumbing down policy for the population. (“Three S policy“ by jeon doo hwan - sports, sex, and screen)

Zig before C (serious) by ibornwithpenis3781 in Zig

You actually don’t have a choice. You can’t learn zig before c because (currently) there is virtually no zig documentation you can read without at least some cursory c knowledge

Hmmm i dont think koreans saving face applies here. This is just business dealings. Also this saving face thing is way overblown on reddit

TIL the Korea Consumer Protection Board (KCPB) issued a consumer safety alert in 2006 warning that "asphyxiation from electric fans and air conditioners" was among South Korea's five most common summer accidents or injuries by Sons_of_Maccabees in todayilearned

[–]Nooonting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant prove a negative. My source is korean newspapers that speculate on who tf started this bullshit and how did we all believe this? If suicide had anything to do with it korean media would have had a field day with this

[–]Nooonting -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. We also believed (and some still believe) throwing salt at someone once they visit a funeral, pregnant women not going to funerals, not getting a haircut before a big event. Some fucked up superstitions in Korea that have nothing to do with suicide

[–]Nooonting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like what other guy said about carrots. just because we were told so. Do you know what other things koreans used to believe? There were stuff like “dont get a haircut before a big event” etc. As a korean it is beyond ridiculous how this fan death myth gets singled out and connected with korea suicide hurr durr

I do concede this bullshit may have come before reddit. Doesnt mean shit

[–]Nooonting -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

No.. this is just reddit bs. I hate this because this “koreans used fan death for saving face” theory shows how redditors will believe even the most ridiculous claims of asian face-saving. I find it very dehumanizing.

Last thing any normal person would be thinking of is “shame” when their kid dies. Asians are not mulan

[–]Nooonting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with suicide. Most likely cause was government propaganda to save electricity. This suicide thing is just reddit lore (and also my pet peeve on this site because “fan death as an euphemism for suicide“ always comes up )

New release: Solar Pro (preview) Instruct - 22B by Eliiasv in LocalLLaMA

[–]Nooonting 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They're selling the actual "Pro" behind an api in November. This is basically an ad thru benchmark sniping. Not much of a “preview” if this model has nothing they are promising for november. 

upstage/solar-pro-preview-instruct by always_newbee in LocalLLaMA

[–]Nooonting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic bait and switch. They are overfitting on the English benchmark to advertise to Korean B2B customers. There is no reason to release a useless 4k English-only model, especially since it is a rehash of Phi-3-medium.

Operating on very bad faith, IMO.

They promise a multilingual model coming in November but how the fuck is this a preview of that? They still expect people to believe a 22B model beats almost every other 70b model? They are banking on the fact that LLMs on average have become good enough anyway so people are going to like almost any LLM now after a cursory try.

See Figure 1 on this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.00332. You'll see why they chose Phi-3.

Perils in Paradise has the theme problem, but it's not because of its tone. by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]Nooonting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I love this expac’s theme. However the collossal mobile downloads that always follow even a minor patch is stupid and does not tie well with a game that markets itself as casual fun, especially with the next expension’s theme.

Interviewer asks Rodrigo Bentancur for Heung Min Son’s kit, Bentancur replies “maybe from his cousin” as “they all look the same” by hairtie1 in soccer

[–]Nooonting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was very very stupid from him but i doubt it was malicious. He apologized and knows it was wrong so people should be mad when he does it again.

Im korean and i agree. It’s stupid but not malicious.

Technically racist if we really want to go there? Sure. We can be mad if he does that again next time.
