Being the reigning monopoly isn't morally worse in a vacuum. The problem is all the skulduggery to get to that position, and to even worse, to keep it.

Shhh!... Just keep walking and don't look at them, they'll ignore you if you're lucky.

They use arch Linux

Firefox is already the latest version

Big ones too. Case in point, USA.

I love how this post makes a bunch of claims, and yet provides zero sources, and thus, has absolutely zero value.

It's digital noise, spam at best, evil misinformation at worst.

Ah yes, selling your integrity for clicks and pushing propaganda for cash, welcome to the information age.

It seems like a smear piece because it makes it sound like DeepSeek is doing something that the others aren't, while the truth is that ever single on of them collects your data.

At best, it's disingenuous. At worst, with the ability to run locally, it's a blatant lie.

It's based on guessing what the actual worth of AI is going to be, so yeah, wildly speculative at this point because breakthroughs seem to be happening fairly quickly, and everyone is still figuring out what they can use it for.

There are many clear use cases that are solid, so AI is here to stay, that's for certain. But how far can it go, and what will it require is what the market is gambling on.

If out of the blue comes a new model that delivers similar results on a fraction of the hardware, then it's going to chop it down by a lot.

If someone finds another use case, for example a model with new capabilities, boom value goes up.

It's a rollercoaster...

There's people out there who haven't disabled their voice mail? Wild...

Pure curiosity , I wonder how many of those are capable of making a call when they need help?

It's great to have service at the bottom of a ravine, but if I cracked my skull falling there, it's quite a misleading stat

The Danes win this war very easily.

They restrict the sale of Ozempic and Wegovy to the US, and half the country just dies of obesity related complications. It'll be a genocide.

I haven't looked into running any if these models myself so I'm not too informed, but isn't the censorship highly dependent on the training data? I assume they didn't release theirs.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
