During the Castillo election, my sister has a friend (cousin of the recently ousted Jerí) who was posting insane photos on Facebook with her young kids holding signs saying “no al comunismo”. It was really bizarre. I can imagine all the press was labeling Castillo as the next Guzman per whatever.

Lima is so fucking bad. I have an old classmate friend who is basically fash/incel adjacent but I think it stems from his upbringing in the Sodalite cult

I’m annoyed that it’s not out of the realm of possibility that non-car transport could be officially labeled radical and gay and I could get harassed by cops just for riding my bike

I have family in Lima and they’re big fujimoristas not sure if they support Keiko in this round. Aside from being lawyers and managers they have trauma from the Shining Path years.

We got access to Claude recently where I think they’ve only allotted me something like 27k tokens (idk if that’s per day/week/whatever) and a single question which was based on the onboarding examples burned through 1/5th of it. There was a dashboard that put numbers to the token usage and the last month was $980k vs the last 6 months was $1.3m so huge ramp up in users and usage.

At that run rate it was going to be like $9m this year. Just for Claude. All with questionable returns.

All I’m saying is that a gentleman, a 60-year-old man, 59-year-old man, 75-year-old man, doesn’t need 37 gallons of gas.

I don’t think that a beautiful man needs — that’s 61 years old — needs to have 30 gallons of gas. I think they can have three gallons or four gallons because what we were doing with China was just unbelievable.

Wasn’t that the stated US position all along?

I’m sure it just means an itemized deduction

All I’m saying is that a young lady, a 10-year-old girl, 9-year-old girl, 15-year-old girl, doesn’t need 37 dolls.

I don’t think that a beautiful baby girl needs — that’s 11 years old — needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls because what we were doing with China was just unbelievable.

URGENT: SEND SOLAR GENERATORS & PANELS TO CUBAN HOSPITALS!

Trump’s fuel blockade is starving Cuba of power, crippling hospitals and schools, and attempting to induce a famine.

We are rushing solar generators and panels to our neighbors 90 miles away so that hospitals can keep their doors open and their lights on. Your donation helps ensure patients receive the essential care they need.

This crisis does not have to exist. It was created by the Trump Administration and should be reversed immediately.

Until these cruel policies end, as neighbors, we must act and send aid.

Help us stop the Trump Administration from creating famine in Cuba.

Donate now. Send power. Save lives.

Please do not write “Cuba” in donation comments or on the memo line of checks. Simply write “Urgent Aid.”

To donate by check:
Make check payable to: The People's Forum
On memo line write: “Urgent Aid” (Do not write Cuba!)
Mail to: The People's Forum, 320 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018

Turn off the auto-dubbing if it sounds weird.

It’s a TikTok video originally.

Breathe easy, people! This whole thing was just a couple of guys who died of suicide. No one else was really involved and evil died with them.

Start an anti-tech company jihad

In 2026, countries that want to win the trade war have a unique historical possibility: They could repeal their “anticircumvention” laws, which make it illegal—a felony, in many cases—to modify devices and services without permission from their manufacturers.

US tech giants (and giant US companies that use tech) have used digital locks to amass a vast hoard of ill-gotten wealth. In 2026, the first country bold enough to raid that hoard gets to transform hundreds of billions in US rents into hundreds of millions in domestic profits that launch its domestic tech sector into a stable orbit—and the remaining hundreds of billions will be reaped by all of us, everyone in the world (including Americans who buy gray-market jailbreaking tools from abroad), as a consumer surplus.

 

Basically the cash burn rate for inference is much higher than reported and the media’s focus on training obfuscates it. All of the companies involved hide what the actual revenues are and if they even cover (or are trending towards covering) running costs of the models.

Ed Zitron with FT attempt to derive what those actual numbers are since they’re all over the place but cannot confirm hardly anything. It seems that at best revenues are 2/3 cash burn rate but are more like 1/2 and this is without considering the massive obligations that OpenAi is committing to.

 

The article gives no indication as to how the model works (other neural networks) so it could be a fluke especially since it is not physics based.

The arstechnica piece has this at the bottom:

“It’s not immediately clear why the GFS performed so poorly this hurricane season,” Lowry wrote. “Some have speculated the lapse in data collection from DOGE-related government cuts this year could have been a contributing factor, but presumably such a factor would have affected other global physics-based models as well, not just the American GFS.”
