There's a new fentanyl king in town. Good luck stopping it now you fuckers.

The funny part is that Congress can't remove the tariffs by passing a bill because it would then require Trump's signature to become law. So much for checks and balances.

Thankfully there at least a way around that.

In the United States, the president can use the veto power to prevent a bill passed by the Congress from becoming law. Congress can override the veto by a two-thirds vote of both chambers.

I know this is a serious subject, but this made me laugh:

Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters

Like they couldn't bring themselves to quote it as written, but they still had to mention it.

I keep seeing this sentiment, but in order to run the model on a high end consumer GPU, doesn't it have to be reduced to like 1-2% of the size of the official one?

Edit: I just did a tiny bit of reading and I guess model size is a lot more complicated than I thought. I don't have a good sense of how much it's being reduced in quality to run locally.

He started off trying to justify tarriffs based on (his misunderstanding of) the trade deficit. At least that was vaguely relevant to international trade.

Now he just wants a show of respect, and a token one at that, so it's tempting to just do some useless shit with helicopters to make him go away.

It wasn't at rest according to the blog post:

we found a publicly accessible ClickHouse database linked to DeepSeek, completely open and unauthenticated, exposing sensitive data. It was hosted at oauth2callback.deepseek.com:9000 and dev.deepseek.com:9000.

So probably either a service that was meant to be bound on loopback or a firewall issue.

I guess that shows how dangerous it is to have something secured by the 'nobody should be able to access this port' method.

Now I want someone to ask trump "what's your final solution for these people?"

In exchange for electoral reform? 🤞

This sounds like good engineering, but surely there's not a big gap with their competitors. They are spending tens of millions on hardware and energy, and this is something a handful of (very good) programmers should be able to pull off.

Unless I'm missing something, It's the sort of thing that's done all the time on console games.

A GPU is forever

I found this blog post which gets into activitypub location metadata and integrating it with OSM.

Sound promising actually.

Political polarisation is when you know the new boss wants the whales to die, even though nobody ever asked him.

Any suggestions for avoiding Google maps reviews? The best I can think of is looking for threads on local subreddits for e.g. restaurants. Unfortunately there's not much of a local community on the fediverse yet.

They can do that, but I believe the various laws about openness in advertising make it pretty hard to hide ads from the client.

Isn't the bluesky client open source? That would make it harder to force ads on everyone.

Can someone ask Rick if he wants to be PM? He would clean up in an election, right?

This novel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Jest

I still think Infinite Jest is in pole position:

• unqualified populist US president
• canada (and mexico?) subjugated to the US
• subsidised time (selling everything including the calendar to the highest bidder)
• catapulting garbage into giant superfund sites

edit: also I think we can be on track for both Infinite Jest and Idiocracy

Vance's head continues to widen, while Trump has found the briefcase from Pulp Fiction.

Something that worries me about that is attestation. This is the advice from the GrapheneOS Devs:

https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide

They're asking app developers to trust their keys specifically, which would mean that the app might work on GrapheneOS, but not my fork of GrapheneOS with some cherry picked fix I want.

It would be much better if we stamped this out now, before all online services require attestation.
