• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In general only click on a link if you trust the domain. A URL usually looks like this: first.second.third…

  And be very careful, only the second and the thrid word between dots count.

  For example: suspicious.google.com is in general fine, since the second and third word is google.com . However, lemmy.legit-lemmy.world is unsafe, because the second and thrid word are legit-lemmy.world, but not lemmy.world.

  There are ways to smuggle unsafe asset under legit URL, usually by uploading them on google drive, github etc. The good rule of thumb is to never run anything on your computer unless you are absolutely sure it comes from trusted source, like official website.

  One of my colleague like to have roasted potato with vegan mayo. So he is having potatoes cooked in oil together with potatos emulsified with oil.

  I want to point out that macaroni and tortilla chip are not even topologically equivalent. Hence, OP’s statement is obviously ridiculous.

  What brand of VPN do you use to bypass it, many of my friends are there quite frequently, none of them have a mainstream solution for it.

  Last time I was there, express do not work, and I heard proton also does not work. However, my mobile carrier by default routes all roaming traffic through UK, so that did work.

  China blocks most IPs from foreign cloud providers like AWS or Digital Ocean. And if I am not mistaken, they can also block some VPN protocols, but I am not sure which exactly.

  I wouldn’t give my most vulnerable moment to a company that is more than happy to exploit it.

  Well at least there is no clear conflict of interest /s

  Is this where pika-pika-chu came from?

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong).⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DeepSeek’s rise shows why China’s top AI talent is skipping Silicon Valley.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have recently applied in Europe, U.S., and China for a relatively advanced computer scientist position. The China employer gives me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. in Beijing. Plus the China position promised me a clear path of promotion, which is not in the case for my Europe and U.S. offers.

  My current position in Europe is in a famously well-paying institution, but my salary is only minorly higher than China, not to mention all the crap I need to go through moving to Europe.

  The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, I cannot imagine many other people will make the choice 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…
