It is worth pointing out that we Northern Europeans can only afford this because we have a small group of highly competitive and wealth generating companies and sectors. We would be in a dire situation here in Denmark without Novo Nordisk. 1-2 years ago it was Maersk, DSV etc. that held up our economy because freight prices were high.
It's a playground to try out various free open source LLMs. You seem to have picked the default one. Try mixtral-8x7b-instruct. It gave the following answer:
>The color of your house is likely caused by the paint or material used on the exterior. Blue paint or blue-colored siding, shingles, or other building materials would cause your house to appear blue.
>It's become apparent that the Israeli political/war/propaganda machine has an incredible amount of influence - far beyond anything I'd personally imagined could be possible. They've been able to effectively commandeer most of the West's "traditional" mass media
Why make up blatant lies like this when mainstream media has been very critical of Israel for the past few weeks? The only exception is Fox News.
What is the purpose of including the RISC-V Compressed 16-bit extension set in what is supposed to be a HPC chip? Most embedded/IoT RISC-V implementations include that for obvious reasons but why here?
The reason people think only 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed is that is lowball number the UN made up to not offend and anger Russia and China.
It is estimated that 25,000-75,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just in Mariupol and surrounding areas.
What a blatant lie. The Siege of Mariupol alone is estimated to have killed somewhere between 25000 and 75000 civilians. The UN's fraudulent claim that "only 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed" is a blatant lie to keep China and Russia happy.
Any discussion about collateral damage should take population density into consideration. The population density of Ukraine is 63 per square kilometer. The population density of Gaza is 5500 per square kilometer.
The internationally recognized State of Palestine is made up of two disjoint territories: Gaza and the West Bank. Israel gave peace a chance and left Gaza in 2005. The Palestinians immediately turned Gaza into a forward base and started attacking Israel. Israel only started the "blockade" (inspecting imports into Gaza) in 2007.
The UN is blatantly biased. There are ~50 Islamic states in the UN that compulsively always vote against Israel. These Islamic states have even made rambling and screaming about Israel a mandatory ceremony (Item 7) at UNHRC sessions.
One of the two cameras is the ultra-wide camera so it gets some additional parallax and visual information than just the separation to the other camera.
>Last week the world's largest container line, AP Moller-Maersk, announced it would add an emergency risk surcharge of $50 per 20-foot container and $100 per 40- and 45-foot container to all new shipments to Israel
Every container becoming $50-$100 more expensive is extremely disruptive for any economy. Will Israel attempt to blockade ships going to Yemen in retaliation?
The chattering classes love counter-cultural packaging. That is why they embraced Greta Thunberg much more than they embraced Al Gore despite the messaging being the same.
The ECHELON report revelations were packaged into a formal (boring) European Parliament report. Meanwhile Edward Snowden had the counter-cultural packaging of a cool dissident hacker.
>I think there will be open source models at GPT-4 level that can run on consumer GPUs within a year or two.
There is indeed already open source models rivaling ChatGPT-3.5 but GPT-4 is an order of magnitude better.
The sentiment that GPT-4 is going to be surpassed by open source models soon is something I only notice on HN. Makes me suspect people here haven't really tried the actual GPT-4 but instead the various scammy services like Bing that claim they are using GPT-4 under the hood when they are clearly not.
Students are being wrongly accused of cheating by "AI detection tools". In the Israel/Palestine conflict both sides have used "AI detection tools" to accuse the other side of using AI generated content.
Seems like fear mongering, hysteria, and scammy "AI detection tools" are causing more problems and trouble than actual AI.
Today most (by volume) Linux attacks are against IoT devices that run Linux and SSH with weak/no auth.
Behind that are attacks on Linux web servers where exploits in the web application (e.g. WordPress) or the web framework (e.g. Rails) are the attack vector.
Since 2008 big US tech companies have been a runaway GDP doubling success. It is laughable to compare them with VK and WeChat.
The reason we Europeans should aim to have our own big tech companies is because we are currently missing out on the greatest wealth generation in history.
