The constitution means whatever the guy with the biggest guns says it means.

It is impossible to write an eternal constitution. Believing that is the biggest flaw of the American mindset.

“EU” should hire them.

Canada should get nukes ASAP.

DeepSeek was open about this from the very beginning. The $6 million figure was about comparing apples with apples. Just look at page 5 in the original paper. The SemiAnalysis report compares apples with oranges to save the ass of OpenAI.

Unregulated capitalism in a nutshell.

It usually is. Its a high risk gamble that can lead to basically anyghing. And probably that anything will be bad for the poor. Reformism and organized labor is a safer path towards increased equality. But maybe that ship has sailed for the US…

I used to be pro UBI. Now I’m not so sure. The only resilient tool for increased equality is an organized work force that has real economic power. Workers on UBI has no real power and the UBI can be taken away anytime by those in power.

And if AI takes all jobs… Well, lets cross that bridge when we get there. Maybe we simply have to hope for that crypto bro UBI solution. Qualia will be our last currency.

For the US, my guess is: within the next 4 years. Inflation will be insane. Lets hope blue collar can organize and leverage the situation.

Because of neoliberalism. Its quite simple.

They usually are. Unfortunately.

Host your own probably isnt a good idea unless youre on the dark webs. Probably not worth it.

If super privacy is a requirement. For normal work/junk mail, sure!

Anything + PGP + Tor + VPN.

There are countless mail servers one can use. I use a mail server hosted by Swedish ISP Bahnhof (which I trust). You can also self host. But then you need to be on the dark webs if you really care about privacy (I dont recommend this).

Or Delta Chat. Or Signal/Matrix/Session/Whatever. This is the preferred choise. EMail is legacy.

I really don’t understand why smart people put their eggs in the proton basket.

Big (shady) money rule Switzerland. A Swiss server or company isn’t safer or more trustworthy. Quite the opposite.

This is basically my experience of western millennial women from upper middle class. But they do it unconsciously.

They read all the feminist literature and talk about it a lot. But then they for sure expect you to pay for everything and handle all practical things… After all you earn more (because you’re older, work more and didn’t go for a useless art or HR degree). Also, you have to account for all bad things that happenes to other women in different places and time. Grrr…

They also feel very confused because of this big central hypocracy in their life. But whatever you do, don’t mention it or question their self-image. That will just cause more work and expenses.
