That is indeed exciting, except I don’t know how cold is a witch’s tit :)

I recently went to the west coast and they call half a inch of snow a “snow storm” and shutdown the entire city.

I sincerely hope your snow storm is more exciting than this.

How do you Apache license a LLM? Do they just treat the weights as code?

I hate to disagree but IIRC deepseek is not a open-source model but open-weight?

I have recently applied for a junior computer scientist position in Europe, U.S., and China. The Chinese employer give me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. In addition to that, the Chinese institute promised me a clear path of advancement, which is not included in my Europe and U.S. offers.

My current employer in Europe is a famously well-paying institute, but my salary is only minorly higher than my Chinese offer, in a much more expensive city than Beijing, and I have went through a lot of crap moving to Europe.

The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, while the U.S. is denying visa for top talents, I cannot imagine many people will make the same choice as I did, especially when they spent most of their lives in China.

We have these bullshits, and apparently DEI is the problem within scientific research…

Also no carb at the start.

It is in my asian blood.

LOL, their code is probably written by AI.

We all work for evil corporate overlords.

Yes, but most people in the west don’t have the option to eat meat that are not from the meat industry.

That is exactly why veganism is attractive in the west.

I am great, it is the lunar new year and I am celebrating it with my family.

I made vegan fried rice for them. Most asian haven’t had vegan fried rice, because typically fried rice involves lard and egg. However, they loved the vegan fried rice so much that my cousin asked my aunt to recreate it tonight.

The normal font seems fine for most. I think people might have a mental association with the basic shape, and don’t need to look into the detail of most characters.

I have tuta, bitwarden, firefox relay, and libreoffice, seems to work decently. I am also considering getting a mullvald vpn, but not sure how well it works with torrenting, since they no longer support port-forward.

Oh, yet another speculative execution flaw…

LOL, the one of the largest tech monopoly in the world actually trying to play “the little guy” narrative. And just like with Trump, many people will actually believe it.

I am east asian, and I never had big birthday parties when I was a kid. Parents would give us a bit of money, I would have like four friends to hang out at a mall, watch a movie, and grab some dinner.

But there are kids who have big parties, but I feel like they are just cos-playing middle age asian male gatherings, large table, lazy susan, bunch of “friends” who don’t even talk that much, and toast here and there. Pretty ridiculous things to do for 10-15 years old.

My birthday has since went downhill, my parents are busy and I am busy, in high school I barely had cakes for birthday. But now I made sure to have a little cake for every birthday, so it is all good :)

Yeah, rookie mistakes given we already know who is elected.

I think the best tip is to not be too hard on yourself. Using linux doesn’t mean abandoning Windows, even if you feel overwhelmed and need to go back to Windows, that is totally okay, just try again when you feel comfortable.

If you are confused please ask questions, people love to help beginners. Finally, like others, I think mint is a great starting point. If you have time, you can also follow some linux content creators on YouTube or PeerTube.

Sorry I am not aware of the incident, do you mind elaborate? Thank you.
