Not cheating (or not being a corrupt crook) seems extremely anti Republican, though?

Because the market believes that the fine will be massively reduced after an appeal. That’s what usually happens..

25 billion is huge, though. If the market believed that Meta would ever have to pay the full fine (unfortunately highly unlikely) its stock would be doing a lot worse.

So the implication is that if Madoff used an llc to perpetrate all of his scams he would have face no criminal liability? A llc doesn’t somehow magically shields executives from criminal prosecution

The sample is too small. As long as the models are reasonable close enough to each other there is really nothing you can learn from this benchmark when its just one prompt.

It would perhaps be slightly interesting if the prompt was run 100 times for each model. I doubt the pelicans would look identical.

It’s more expensive than 6.1-sol though? At least according to benchmarks.

I think at this point comparing raw token pricing is often apples to oranges.

Luna and sometimes even Sol are cheaper than Deepseek for same tasks even at API prices since they consume way less tokens and are more efficient

Because it’s not even that cheap? The author chose to only include Claude in their chart and ignored the fact that 6.1-sol and even more so luna can easily beat Deepseek on cost. Of course almost free cache used to be the main differentiator, raw token cost is deceptive since 4.1 just uses way more tokens than most other models

> For most of human history the money was stable

Only true if you zoom out. If you actually looked the data the 1800s had wild and constant swings year to year, they just evened out during the Long Depression (i.e. the first Great Depression) by the end of the century.

Constrained monetary supply also leads to constant boom and bust cycles in a non static economy.

Well they can be betting that Republicans will lose in a couple of months and the congress will have the guts to stop him from constantly imposing entirely illegal tariffs on random countries for no reason.

Canada also had a deal they signed with Trump. Then he changed his mind and pretended (or not) he’s to demented to remember it he and not Biden agreed to deal. Then he made other proposals then randomly changed his mind again and again.

There is nothing rational about this, he’s bullying Canada because he has much more leverage over it than he has over China and Europe. Albeit he messed up the global oil supply to fuck with both of them ( and bailed out the Russian economy from collapse while he was at it) or maybe he’s just cluelessly blundered into it, who knows)

They had an EU license in Lithuania for years.

French Guiana is in the EU though. While Norway is not.

Of course the cost structure for space companies is very different than for AI and electronics but Chinese companies have proven that they can achieve ~90% of what the bloated US companies are doing on a tiny fraction of their budget. Of course efficiency hasn’t been a priority in the EU for decades so unlikely they can replicate anything China is doing
