  • what else can you do? we are because we am

  • We die all the time, so why not make it wild? Do it because it's what you believe and there are no consequences.

    You can take my word, whatever that means to you, that I have no affilation with NYT. While I might be biased, it'd be much more conducive if you tried persuasion through presenting and arguing article content—say from 2024—instead of trying some kind of psychoanalysis. I could say similar things about how middle-aged men these days always say things are never like the old days. (I'm not saying that the state of our politics are one of these things)

  • What's the clear propagandal purpose of "Father Slays New York Girl, 14, in TikTok ‘Honor Killing"? How has this impacted the content quality of their articles; that is, non-opinion news and opinions from the editorial board?

  • Do you have the impression that I'm denying that the headlines are problematic? If so, please re-read my reply on the 13th, specifically the part on headlines never being much good. Look at "Father Slays New York Girl, 14, in TikTok ‘Honor Killing’" (a real headline) and tell me if NYT has any reason to sanewash a murder by e.g. using the word "slay" instead of "slaughter" or "kill". This is an institutional problem unrelated to the quality of their journalism and a problem of management, advertising, and their perceived "palatability" in using copy writers for headlines, none of which perceptibly affects the quality of their actual articles.

  • He told her the prosecutors who had worked on the case against Mr. Adams were being placed on administrative leave because they, too, were unwilling to obey his order.

    "He" being Justice Department deputy attorney general Emil Bove III, who wrote an 8-page letter to accept her resignation.

  • I don’t understand what you mean. Even the blurb all but spells it out here, not to mention I remember the image caption saying “forced relocation” and scholars calling it an ethnic cleansing.

  • Searching it up, there's one specific incident where NYT did cover Trump's performance at an Economic Club involving an incoherent tirade very badly, but I believe that is more than canceled out with articles such as the Oct 6 frontpage "Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age" and "If You Think Biden and Harris Were Weak on the Border, Think Again", the NYT's attempt at a late October surprise. Other than that, the only concerns I found were about headlines, which never were that good (though NYT usually had the more representative headlines, I'll admit), I never trusted and Wikipedia never trusted, a prohibition on citing which alone formalized in 2020: "Headlines are written to grab readers' attention quickly and briefly; they may be overstated or lack context [...] They are often written by copy editors instead of the researchers and journalists who wrote the articles."

  • I was asking for examples of article content that slept with Trump. Plus Biden deserved to step down IMO; he torpedoed himself with that debate performance.

  • I really do not get why everyone thinks that NYT has been sleeping with Trump. They published an editorial board editorial declaring him unfit (which was also the headline on May 30 about Trump's felons tatus) days before the PA assassination attempt and thus weeks before Biden suspended, and their Harris endorsement was on Sep 30, way after this wave you speak of.

  • Not exactly, they published a very long editorial saying Trump was straight-up unfit in the summer

  • Could you elaborate on Pelosi's funding? From what she does it would make sense, but my searches haven't been fruitful.

  • I hope this only has ~2% THC

  • My god, the preamble for that thing is so dang long. 13:30 with some AI sponsorship the comments are talking about I may have accidentally skipped over, and only 10:27-11:37 deals with what you're talking about. The video makes a good point that they have existing operating infrastructure. However, for the stockpiling accusation, the statements that it cites are from the CEO of big competitor "Chips AI", who cite nothing except "only costing $6 million is impossible, therefore it actually cost more and they must have cheated! I think they have 50,000 illegally imported Nvidia GPUs!" which just sounds like the behavior of a cult ringleader trying to maintain power to me. The other source it cites for this claim is Elon Musk, whose reasoning was "Obviously".

  • I just think that no matter whether DeepSeek smuggled or not, an investigation into whether or not they smuggled is of course going to be launched. I do want more transparency regarding where the Singapore billing goes, but that alone is too shaky for conclusions.

  • Note that s1 is transparently a distilled model instead of a model trained from scratch, meaning it inherits knowledge from an existing model (Gemini 2.0 in this case) and doesn't need to retrain its knowledge nearly as much as training a model from scratch. It's still important, but the training resources aren't really directly comparable.
