Is deepseek’s architecture not scalable anymore? I can see in a couple months some company with access to GPUs create a much larger and better performing model based on the deepseek architecture.
I have a similar story, but not as serious as OP. A couple years ago, out of the blue, I started having almost constant unbearable back pain. Doctors I saw didn't know what it was. Eventually, one of the neurosurgeons, after I showed him an old MRI scan told me it was a cyst in the spine that was 80% of the time asymptomatic and unlikely to have caused the issue. That cyst required surgery and only 3 doctors in the world have done it before. During this time I started to go to the gym and train, and after some time, the pain went away on its own. Not sure if it was because of the better food I was eating or stronger back muscles that got rid of it. Since it's a neurological issue, some postures and chairs still cause pain, but it usually goes away quickly now.
Same here, 14 years lifting, suddenly I had to be in bed for back pain for a week. After that I spent 4 years with backpain and stopped training following the advise of various doctors. Met a guy who does power lifting, we became friends, he is also a phisio and told me to gradually go back to the gym, pain almost disappeared after 6 months. Now I am almost back to lifts I used to do 20 years ago, but I manage pain actively and avoid overdoing it. Most doctors don’t train and don’t understand how mind/body works. Sometimes pain is not linked to a “real” physical problem, then you do MRIs, talk to doctors, and they find a problem somewhere, they always do, but it could have nothing to do with the pain.
So almost all of energy used by humans today comes (or came) from the sun, directly (solar panels) or indirectly (fossil fuels, plants, meat).
You can divide the amount of calories a human needs per day and the amount of energy is provided to earth by the sun per day and that can be the theoretical limit on how many people can live on earth if we are 100% efficient with the energy.
I just watched the latest Love, Death and Robots on Netflix, and one of the shorts is about a Scottish farmer, and his rat problem. For some reason, that came to mind, when I read this.

What's not realistic about it? Your garbage can and car are safe in the driveway because nothing eats them. Same for a lot of hose components like gutters now. Pipes too recently.
Debt levels being high means that a significant portion of the revenue is there to service the interest payments and the remaining is not enough to cover all other expenses.
Therefore you either raise more debt, or default.
Print and spend dollars at value ‘A’, right after the money gets in circulation, value decreases to ‘B’, the spread between ‘A’ and ‘B’ acts like a tax on all cash. This results in an increase in tax amounts (not actual value) because of price increases, making revenue numbers go higher, making it easier to pay off old debts
It benefits those who holds the most debt, and is horrible on anyone who is on fixed income. Presumably capital gains will still be taxed, which means that inflation + tax can wipe out any income from gains.
I came across an article about vaccination against ingested prions a while back.
I couldn't find the exact one that I read a year ago... the one I read talked about a test where the vaccinated mice survived while the unvaccinated mice died quickly.
Prion diseases are scary psychologically because the early stages are almost the same as any other neurodegenerative disease. For those who are suffering from one, who would likely develop some sort of depression early on, really gives them doubts about their lifespan. This is from personal experience.
I started taking and deleting my data off FB 5 years ago, after I knew better. I'm only on FB because of messenger, and checks FB less than once a month.
I think that's a better approach than suing them and getting the $10 from a class action.
This will simply take us back about 150 years to the time before the camera was common.
The transition period may be painful though.
