also all those pieces demand a sort of flat-earth mentality since they claim outlandish things, like questioning the lowcost of training, when anyone can find tons of acadamic papers already corroborating their points https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pyspur.dev%2Fblog%2Fmulti-head-latent-attention-kv-cache-paper-list

but despite that, even the "educated" crowd here will upvote "news" that it's impossible they didn't pay bazzillions dollars to nvidia or that surely they stole everything.

that's how the populists get power.

they identify rules against their power grabs, in this case the separation of federal machine and executive.

then they cry over one easily fixable issu, like limiting salaries to market rate. And with that reasonable argument win you over.

But then they use your support to dismantle the other thing blocking their power grab.

Before you know it, they will have even larger inneficiences but all going to their companies.

The "news source" is not a real news source. It is just a front for selling VPN apps!

Even the Biography for the "journalist" is likely fake/AI, and manages to mention VPN twelve times. It's all a big SEO scam.

They just did a piece to the brazillian market, which is full of maga-tards as you can see from the other comments here, who hate the judges and love musk, just like US-maga-tards.

They published an obvious low effort lie (everyone can still access the VPN apps), which is very very easily verifiable (use your freaking vpn to get a BR IP and check! takes less than a minute!), yet you geniuses decided to instead blast your obtuse political views as if the obviously fake news is real!

You are still "destroying" the water.

pristine water supporting wild life -> treated water with chlorine and fluoride -> data-center/or cities -> waste (cannot send back to city, nor support wild life)

Now you have to dump it into a treatment plant, which doesn't exist in most places, and/or wait for it to evaporate and rain back into the ecosystem it was supporting in the beginning.

you wish this was about gnome. Microsoft continue to keep EU as a digital colony. Licenses for windows won't go away any time.

This is about small firms belonging to oligarchs churning small software companies that are the only ones that satisfy arcane regulations so they end up winning all bids. In the end all your data will pass trhu those small shops with zero oversight, because the regulation was written by them and politicians have no clue.

just look at https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ow2.org%2Fview%2FMembership_Joining%2FMembers_Updated

one company host the IAM for your EU gov systems. Another all the emails. The larger one all the IM/slack-clone.

We all know how much power you can infer from all those small assortment of components. But not only they want to have that and the gov contracts, they also want free Phds writing the more complex part of their systems for free.
